Aimee’s English Wedding Look
It was such a blast getting ready for our friends wedding, we rented out an old farm house in a small English town called Towcester. All the girls were running around the house trading tips, helping each other with our hair makeup and outfits. The ceremony took place in a old cozy church and the [...]
Balance In The City: Ommmmmm, nnoooooooooo
I can feel the hesitation when announcing it’s time to chant “OM”. The inhale seems short and often stifled. I can hear the wheels turning, “Am I off key? Will I last long enough?” Those are often the thoughts in my head and can only assume they are in others. OM does not have a [...]
MP Model Off Duty: Lizzie Miller
The lovely Lizzie Miller stopped by the MP offices a few weeks ago to say hello and of course share her fabulous style. I was drooling over her black bondage skirt from H&M, its a piece I have wanting to add to my closet and seeing it on Lizzie sealed the deal. Lizzie also wore [...]

Balance In The City With Emilia: Dreaming Of Yoga
Last night I dreamt of yoga, which honestly doesn’t happen that often. Perhaps it was the three classes in a row I took last week, or, more likely, the late night yoga research entered my subconscious and played itself out in my dreams. In my dream, everyone was clamoring to fly through the air in [...]

Balance In The City With Emilia: The (Down) Dog Days Of Summer
Here we are, in the dog days of summer, and I, fellow followers, have been slacking on the yoga. I have resigned myself to the heat, the humidity, the tapas. I have been to the beach, the pool, backed off the pre-summer exercise routine, justified by the fact that a salad and fruit is all [...]
MP Beauty: The Potent Pout
Right now the hottest stars are wearing the brightest shade; florescent pink! Beyonce, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Leona Lewis, Lauren Conrad, and many more stars are wearing this bright shade. This color looks best paired with more neutral (black, white, gray, or beige) colored outfits as your lipstick does all of the talking. It can also be paired [...]
Balanced In The City With Emilia: Stressed About Yoga?
I have to go to yoga. I need to be calm and breathe. I haven’t been in a week, in a month, in six months. Ah! Yoga!
Things I have to do go on the to-do list. And when “yoga” doesn’t get crossed off, I am disappointed and judge myself for being lazy and not making an effort. I [...]

Why plus size modeling? What do you enjoy about it? What are you learning about the plus industry?
I started plus size modeling for two reasons. First, I’ve always been a creative soul, having started in acting, moved to dancing and now modeling. For me, modeling allows me to be a different character and tell [...]
