I love the thrill of buying something new, but between being a quality over quantity type of person and also a “worried about the earth” person, when I’m out shopping, I try to pick pieces that I know will last me at least a few years. One of the ways I practice conscious consumerism is […]

Aside from wearing lots and lots of sunscreen and lightweight jackets (or no jacket at all!) now’s the time to break out another classic warm weather staple—sunglasses. While tiny sunglasses had a major moment last season, right now, sporty sunglasses are all the rage and my new go to (and not just because I’m on […]

Despite my overflowing collection of active and athleisure wear, I can’t help but keep my eyes peeled for markdowns on stylish, yet functional pieces to add to my workout wardrobe. Some may call my shopping habits a bit excessive, but I like to think of them as resourceful since I always get items from my […]

If your thought process is anything like mine, you probably didn’t think you’d ever see (let alone, wear) an article of tie-dye clothing past the days of summer camp in middle school. Now that the tie-dye trend is back in a big way, I’m all about embracing the trend in any way possible—including in my […]

While I’ll always have a special place in my heart for bikinis, there’s something classic yet sexy about a one-piece bathing suit. In fact, one-pieces are usually the first kind of swimwear I gravitate towards, and they make up the bulk of my swimwear collection. I guess you could call me a full-fledged stan. Good […]

Here at #TeamSELF, we’re huge fans of athleisure wear. Since we practically live in leggings, and definitely swear by sweats, it should come as no surprise that we always keep an ear to the ground when it comes to the hottest new athleisure releases. Right now, there are some awesome collaborations that we’re coveting—like the […]

As the proud owner of a pair of larger than life boobs since the early days of middle school, I understand all too well how difficult it can be to find a cute swimsuit that also fits properly. If I happen to fall in love with a one-piece, chances are it’ll lack the right kind […]

For many brides-to-be, finding that perfect wedding dress—one they’ll be happy to reminisce about for years to come—can be tough. And it’s more challenging for anyone who wears plus sizes. “Oh, it’s been so damn hard. Harder than I expected, and I expected it to be hard!” writer Kaye Toal tells SELF of her journey […]

I love athleisure in all of its comfy, fashionable forms, and sneakers are without a question my favorite. Right now I own nearly 8 different pairs—for running and for just looking cool—and I’m still making room in my closet for a few more pairs. Some sneakers are just too good to pass up, and I […]

It’s almost too easy to dress for spring, summer, and even fall weddings: Throw on a cute dress, some comfortable shoes for dancing, and maybe a jacket if it gets a little nippy during the night, and you’re good to go. Winter weddings, though? That’s a totally different story. I already find it hard to […]

If there’s one type of clothing I absolutely love to wear, it’s a really good pair of high-waisted jeans. My co-workers at #TeamSELF can attest to this, since they see me wearing jeans at least three times a week. Yet finding jeans that complement my curves and meet most of my requirements—good length, well-fitting, and […]
