I’ll be very honest – I’m a lucky girl.
VERY lucky.
Not only do I get to go to BlogHer 09 tomorrow (or today, or three months ago depending on when you read this), but a few very awesome companies have given me their products to show off.

Lane Bryant, or the lovely store for the ladies with the lovely lady lumps, offered $100 gift card along with an incredible $50 off coupon for me and a few other BlogHer attendees (thanks, Amy!) to shop for some outfits for the conference. I’ve been a fan of LB for a few years (since I became a fatty), so I was more than happy to show of their plus-size clothes. Why? One word: fit. More specifically, the Right Fit jeans fit my butt. That, my friends, if muy importante when it comes to jeans.
I HEART Sorrelli jewelry. Like, LOVE. If you want/like/enjoy/feed on attention, wear Sorrelli jewelry. No matter when I wear it (dinner, party, Target, etc.), I receive compliments. Seriously. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
It’s beautiful.
The semi-precious stones and Austrian crystals sparkle more than my eyes. That’s saying a lot considering my mama tells me all the time that my eyes sparkle. Right, Mama? Right?
I’ll be wearing Sorrelli every night of BlogHer, including the pieces below given to me by Sorrelli. GOR.GEOUS. Right now through Sunday, July 26, Sorrelli is offering an additional 5% off your order EVEN sale items, with coupon code BLOGHER5. Speaking of sale items, the Summer Sale at Sorrelli.com is going on through THIS FRIDAY ~ save 15% on orders of $100 or more. Combine the two for 20% off Sorrelli. HUGE. MASSIVE. GET YOU SOME!
FULL DISCLOSURE: I sell and have sold Sorrelli jewelry in my store, but this promotion has nothing to do with me selling Sorrelli or my connection with Sorrelli.
Here are a few of the items I’ll be showing off:
I’ll be honest, I have yet to wear the two pieces Yummie Tummie is giving me to lift my shirt to show off, but it’s waiting for me at the hotel. They’re giving me two of their tanks, one being the Boyfriend Tank below.
Yummie Tummie shapewear is made to make your middle tight, but it’s different than underwear because it’s meant to be worn on the outside or as a complement to your clothes. If it makes me look like this girl, I’m giving my 2nd born to Yummie Tummie. She’s a hard worker when motivated by candy.

No need for the Sorrelli disclosure. It’s really one of my favorite brands of jewelry. My boyfriend bought me this one— http://www.sorrelli.com/store/products/display.do?id=NCA13AGGA
and I get compliments on it everywhere. Congrats on the free stuff, you deserve it
I love the way you’re rocking everything out
SEE you later!

I just came back here and I re-read my comment – I think, for Hockeyman’s benefit and/or peace of mind, that I had best clarify – even though I love Angie to death, I was referring, in the previous comment, to the lovely young thing in the pink top, depicted above. Of course, she COULD look better if she was a blond with kinky hair – but those are rare. Very rare, indeed.

You looked fabulous this weekend! Good job.
It was great “almost” meeting you all weekend, but not really. I don’t know if you know but we talked in the same circles much of the weekend but never actually “met”. Hmph. Next time I’ll make sure to attack you-suppose that will get your attention?
