ABOUT ME

Hey friend,

I'm Amanda; lover of maximalism, color, and traditional meets boho style with a little kitsch thrown in for good measure. I enjoy a quality well crafted cocktail and a bottle of Trader Joe's wine equally. And if I have the chance, I'm taking the trip. Doesn't matter where we're going, I'm packing my largest suitcase.

Like most women in the middle of life, I'm busy. The hubs and I have been married for 18 years and we're raising to two young men (I can't really call them boys anymore!) who are involved in ALL the things and they keep us constantly on our toes. I was recently asked by a mom to a toddler, “if it ever get's any easier?”, and I said the first thing that came to mind, “No. It just get's different.” And that's the straight up truth, each stage brings different challenges and joys and they're all hard and wonderful.

I'm passionate about inclusive sizing and plus size fashion. I love dresses, like really love them, they're my go-to when I'm stuck in my closet and can't make a decision. I understand how hard it can be to shop and find pieces you love when you are above a size 10 and I want to help you love your body and the clothes you dress your body in.

Here at Style in the Kitchen you'll find the things that bring me joy, make me laugh, or soothe my soul, inspiration to live life on your terms and in a way that feels honest and authentic. I'm delighted you're here!
