,

So here we are at another Holiday season….what do we get for our loved ones, what do we get ourselves, how do we celebrate the people in our lives? I decided to create this gift guide because I felt all the gift guides out there didn’t encompass everything I wanted to see in one place: great jewelry, amazing beauty products and clothing that fit a plus size woman “Why can’t I have it all? Well I’ll just make it”, is what I thought. This guft guide is in 3 parts: Jewelry/Accessories, Beauty, and Fashion. Each section has 10 chosen brands, all items are either available online or in stores in NYC and all items are $100 or less. I hope you enjoy and have an amazing holiday! Cheers, Mellie Davis Creator/Editor The Fat Apple, NYC
