With the over saturated blogger market, it’s refreshing to see someone really stand out and do what they’re doing for a positive and encouraging reason…which is why I’m PUMPED to have OG fashion blogger (and one of the first plus size fashion bloggers EVER) — Gabi Gregg AKA Gabi Fresh — as my guest this week on Fashion Friends.

I remember hearing about Gabi when she won the first ever MTV Twitter Jockey (TJ) contest back in 2010. She was living in Chicago at the time so I read about it on a few Chicago-based websites. I’ve been following her ever since and now it’s all coming full circle for a brand new episode of Fashion Friends…

I can’t give too much away here as I want you to hear Gabi’s story straight from her (so you’ll have to tune in!) but she’s been blogging since before blogging was a thing and really paved the way for the plus size style blogger. She’s all about ignoring the fashion rules and she doesn’t believe you need to dress for your body type. Clearly it’s working for her, as she has killer style…as well her own swimwear line so women of all shapes and sizes can look fashionable at the beach / pool.

But you know I like to kick it off with some fashion news, and with many topics of conversation involving the FTC as of late (re: Shinola “Made in America” and bloggers [not] disclosing their paid partnerships), who better to discuss such things than TWO BLOGGERS?

You can listen to Gabi’s episode below or on iTunes. Be sure to let me know what you think about this week’s episode by leaving a comment or a review on iTunes. And if you haven’t yet, subscribe to Fashion Friends on iTunes so you’re the FIRST to know about new episodes (and in the world of Talladega Nights, if you’re not first…you’re last!)
