4 days ago | themomedit.com | Katrina Tijerina

File this under “trends we didn’t think we’d be into… and then suddenly couldn’t stop thinking about.” Yep, jelly shoes are officially having a moment this spring/summer, so Kat took one for the team and tried out a couple of pairs to see what the hype is really about. Spoiler: this video is both wildly helpful and surprisingly fun.

3 weeks ago | themomedit.com | Katrina Tijerina

I don’t know about you, but every time I think about travel, my mind instantly starts wandering to beautiful destinations — the bustling streets of Paris, the sun-kissed beaches of Bali, or the vibrant city lights of Tokyo. There’s an undeniable excitement that comes with the thought of getting on a plane and jetting off to somewhere new. But, let’s be real, before you can soak up the sights and sounds of your dream destination, there’s the long journey ahead.
It's Been a Few Years Since I Tried Athleta (Plus Size Try-On)

2 months ago | themomedit.com | Katrina Tijerina

It’s been a few years since I last clicked “purchase” on anything from Athleta. In part, it’s due to the decision they made to stop carrying plus sizes in store, and they have significantly reduced their plus-size clothing offerings all together. As you can imagine, I was disappointed, and decided to take a hiatus from purchasing products from their dwindling and a bit bland plus-size selection.
I Don't Wear Jeans In The Winter; I Only Wear Spanx

Jan 7, 2025 | themomedit.com | Katrina Tijerina

So, here’s the truth: I hate wearing jeans (especially in the winter). I really do. I know they are a go-to staple for so many of you, but whenever the weather turns cold, I just can’t handle the stiffness and bulkiness of denim. Give me something that feels like loungewear but looks put-together, and I’m a happy camper. Enter: Spanx.
My Most-Worn Pieces of 2024 (That Work For Plus-Size)

Dec 20, 2024 | themomedit.com | Katrina Tijerina

Once the thought of the new year starts to roll around, I like to take a deep dive into the inventory of my closet. What have I actually worn the most? What are the pieces I just can’t stop reaching for? And what may have been a regrettable purchase? (And just in case you’re wondering…my biggest regret of 2024 was this.) It’s kind of like a closet audit if you will — and in 2024, my most-worn items are all about striking the perfect balance between comfort, style, and a bit of fun.
These Wild Slippers Will Make Really Fun Gifts

Dec 13, 2024 | themomedit.com | Katrina Tijerina

The holidays are right around the corner, which means it’s prime time to finalize the perfect gift for that special someone in your life. And, let’s be real— that special someone is me, myself and I (okay, okay and my friends and family too). IMO slippers are one of the most gift-able items, because who doesn’t love slipping into a cozy, stylish pair of slippers after a long day?
The 3 Best Places To Shop For Plus-Size Sweaters

Dec 3, 2024 | themomedit.com | Katrina Tijerina

The world of plus-size fashion is ever-changing. Brands that I would have raved about and recommended a year ago are no longer carrying plus-size clothing, and TBH, things are looking rather bleak. When you take a deeper look at our current fashion trends and cultural climate it’s clear that the diminishing plus-size offerings are very closely connected to the rise of Ozempic and weight loss marketing.
Holiday Style: This Gorgeous Sweater, 2 Ways

Nov 8, 2024 | themomedit.com | Katrina Tijerina

I am currently sitting at my house in Colorado watching the snow fall, and it’s so peaceful and serene, and has me feeling nostalgic for a winter white holiday. I’ve always loved the comfort and joy that the holidays bring, spending time with the people I love most. The holidays are magical, they are full of hope, laughter and above all love. While I’ll only be dreaming of a white Christmas in Nashville, I know one thing’s for sure it will still feel festive and bright.
Jenni Kayne Plus-Size Sweaters Review (FINALLY, Cashmere That Doesn't Itch)

Oct 24, 2024 | themomedit.com | Katrina Tijerina

If I am being totally honest, I don’t really like sweaters. There I said it. They often feel too big, too chunky, too hot, take up too much space, and don’t even get me started on how uncomfortably itchy they can be. Even still, I love sweater weather. Oxymoronic, I know…My disdain for sweaters started at a very young age. I blame my mom for sending me to preschool in a chunky turtleneck that truly was the bane of my 4-year-old existence.
Dolce Vita Extra Wide Calf Boots: A Review

Oct 14, 2024 | themomedit.com | Katrina Tijerina |Dolce Vita

Over the years I’ve tried hundreds of tall boots, hoping they would fit my 21-inch calves, all to be disappointed and left empty-handed sans tall boots. TBH, the struggle for girlies with calves above 14-inches is a serious problem. Like c’mon boot brands, let’s get it together! Because even the babes who don’t have extra wide calves like me are begging for cool boots that will actually fit them.
