I'm No Media Darling

On the first day of school after class was out I was walking to meet some friends and got stopped by two guys from Time Out Chicago because they liked my style. I did a quick interview with them and they took my photo. I talked about Fat Shopaholic, fashion, being fat and eating in public. If you live in Chicago pick up the issue. It will be on news stands from September 15th to the 21st. For my non-Chicago friends read the interview here and leave a comment please. Let them know you want to see more Fat Girls!

I forgot to mention in my last post that I was a Fashion Bomb Shell of the day on August 23rd on Fashion Bomb Daily for those of you who didn't see it on Tumblr or Facebook. Check it out here. My post caused quite the stir, so they wrote a follow up post on the role of weight in fashion here. 

Also, I'm styling the new Samwell video and we need extras! Follow the instructions on the Facebook invite here and come out, so I can style you! 

Finally, my photo from the last post is up on the Red Eye Chicago website here for street style. Leave a comment please! 

Fat Shopaholic in the Press!

Hello, everyone. I am pleased to announce that Fat Shopaholic has gotten it's first ever feature in the press! I have known about this for a while but, I wanted to wait until the issue came out first before I mentioned it. I am featured along with Frocks and Frou Frou, Foray's in Fatshion, Fat Girls Like Nice Clothes Too and Saks in the City in the March Issue of Grazia India. You guys this serves as a great confidence boost. I was getting a little down about some of the negative formspring comments and some other blog related things but, the fact that someone wanted to feature me makes me feel like I am doing something right.


My quote in the article is:


“Having the blog has given me confidence to wear what I want,” says 19-year-old blogger Tiffany of Fat Shopaholic. “Recently, I wore leggings with bows all over them. While I got some laughs, I didn’t care because I loved them and knew that others in the fat fashion community would, too. Maybe, one day, fat will be only what it is: a fact and not an insult"


Also, I have some great things coming up soon; I have been working very hard. Be on the look out for some great blog spotlights, designer interviews, more articles from me in Manik Magazine and some guest post from me on other blogs! I even have a new blog banner and a second side bar coming soon. So, thank you guys for reading,commenting, following and continuing to support Fat shopaholic. I love you guys.
