Dress: Rebellia (my particular dress is sold out, so I linked some other dresses that are super cute) // Sneakers: Converse
ANNOUNCEMENT
So, I have a huge announcement today! I have officially become a Rebellia Ambassador! I posted about Rebellia for the first time in this blog post. Now, this business was started by a woman who I actually knew when I first started blogging. If you remember a long time ago about how excited I was to be featured in an Indie Chicks magazine. That was her and her two friends who started that magazine. Eventually they decided to venture off into their own projects, and Chrystal started Rebellia.
SOCIETY STANDARDS SUCK
Rebellia was started because Chrystal had become really passionate about fitness, ok, well it’s not just that. She had always wanted to be skinny. Then, she started working out and eventually fell in love with lifting. After about a year into her fitness journey, she was so proud of her body and had a bunch of gift cards for a department store. She went in thinking she could finally buy clothes she wasn’t able to before starting her fitness journey. Needless to say, she left the store empty handed. This was because nothing fit her. For the first time she was so proud of her body (I mean if you see her, her body is #bodygoals), and STILL, nothing fit.
THE STORY BEHIND REBELLIA
Which is where her idea for Rebellia came into play. She wanted to create a brand that catered to those women who don’t fit the mold of society’s standards. I’m not super fit like some of the women who purchase from Rebellia. However, I still believe in this brand because it fits me! I’m tall and bottom heavy, so I don’t fit regular clothing either. It’s extremely hard for me to find pants that fit both in my thighs, and in my waist. What I also love about this company, is that there is a Facebook group that you can become a part of that is filled with badass women who empower one another. There are also epic meme threads, which I mean, who doesn’t love those?
SUPPORTING SMALL BUSINESSES AND WOMEN
Now that I’ve talked so much about the company, I wanted to remind y’all, that this is a small business run by a badass babe. When you support her business, you are supporting her dreams. Unlike bigger companies, where you are supporting their next yacht purchase. She truly cares about every single customer and making sure each one of you is empowered and feels like they truly found a brand that cares about the bodies that regular stores don’t cater to.
The community itself in the Facebook group, has helped motivate me to really truly love myself, my body, and to start getting back on track with how fit I used to be. Chrystal is not about fad diets (even though, I’ve literally tried every single one for fun lol), she’s about fueling your body right, and working hard. She is a true unicorn to this world of fashion and fitness.
I just bought some more clothing from them in the mail, and can’t wait to share it with y’all! I know some people aren’t into bodycon dresses (trust me, I bought this dress because I loved the color, but putting it on was definitely out of my comfort zone, but I feel super confident in it), so I bought some regular every day clothes.
TESTIMONIALS
“love, love, love this company and hope to meet the owner someday!!! Am a current ambassababe…I own 2 pieces and have many more on my wish list as I continue to lose inches…” Maci from @mccurdymacie
“Rebellia clothing is amazing from the clothes itself to the amazing women who run the store. Not only do the clothes have amazing quality and always fit just right, but I always feel good when rockin my newest item. It is like Christmas every time I see that little pink package in the mail. I have no complaints about any of the clothing I have bought and it is quickly taking up all of my closet space! Plus.. the Rebel Babe Cave is my little piece of heaven.. this group of women are so supportive to one another in all ways whether it is uplifting advice, funny memes, or just receiving loving support from another female who knows how you are feeling..joining this group of like-minded females is so much more than a clothing company fan group. We are true bad-ass unicorns who always look forward to adding to the herd!! 💕🦄💫” Brandy from @brandyann118
“Not only is Rebellia an amazing clothing line that fit great and awesome quality. It’s more than clothes, it’s an uplifting community of women. I am not apart of a community of women anywhere else that are so encouraging and just real. It’s like talking to your best girlfriend when you step into this tribe. Good day, bad day, blah day, it’s all celebrated and acknowledged. The acceptance is real. I can wear anyone’s clothes but to be apart of a community that this brand champions. Money can’t buy that. 💕” Ashleigh from @liftlifemom
“I just recently bought a dress from Rebellia for a wedding in Mexico. During the search for the perfect dress, I applied to become an Ambassababe. It was the last few hrs and I thought, why not. I can always apply the next go around if I don’t get picked. I got picked! Before any of this, I stumbled upon the group, not sure how, but I did. I would be the one reading everyone’s vent session or life milestones without judgment. I chimed in when I was dumped, when I was feeling so low and ugly, worthless and all the other emotions you feel. All the ladies in the group were so awesome. Complete strangers comforting you, giving you virtual high fives, complementing you. Something I wouldn’t get with my friends here in town. Now if I have victories or downfalls in life, I come here first. The group of women really do rally behind you and stand by you, I love that. I’m so happy to be apart of a girl gang that support each other instead of tearing them down. Girls supporting girls” Jay from @jayyybirdy
“Rebellia is like that right hand man, but in a pair of jeans! So many of the pieces I have purchased have been the perfect transitional piece through out my fitness journey. Everything is made well and with evolving bodies in mind. They’re always the first boutique I suggest.” Kayla from @the.kayla.moore
“Hooked on Rebellia! I have insanely broad shoulders & have always had thick thighs. Finding anything that fit them without being way too big in other areas of my body is impossible..wait, scratch that..WAS impossible. Every piece of Rebellia clothing I own not only fits like it was made for me, but they are SO comfortable too!!” Deanna from @deanna_bux
“I’m hooked as well! I could never find tops that fit so well until now! I have big arms and shoulders that tend to rip through most clothing. I just got my blazer in the mail and I’m amazed I don’t feel like a sardine in it. Also love that the measurements are accurate af since I can feel confident it’ll fit me then!” Courtney from @cbear0604 (Chrystal also added to this testimonial that everything is hand measured by Cassie who works for Rebellia alongside Chrystal.)
“More than a clothing store, Rebellia is like family! Chrystal and Cassie truly love and believe in what they are doing. They are supporting women and encouraging women to embrace themselves and love themselves! It is my favorite place to shop. Their community has become my support system and I feel so blessed to have found such an amazing group of women who listen, laugh with you, encourage you and will bounce ideas around with! Their clothes are adorable and comfortable. They offer a wide variety of items for all bodies! I have dancers legs, so big hips and thick thighs, and it never fails, all their pants/shorts are stretchy and so comfortable! I am a customer for life! <3:)” Jenn from @thelotusbabe23
“I was blessed with the opportunity of being a part of this “think tank” when Chrystal Rose first started Rebellia, and I have LOVED everything about it from day 1. The clothing is amazing, great quality and fit. The customer service from these ladies is second to none, and the community here is so real, and amazing! I also have to add that it’s so refreshing and inspiring to be a part of this here. Chrystal is an amazing woman who believes in what she does and really pours herself into it and people, and for no reason other than to give… without having to tell anyone about it. That’s love and sunshine in human form. 💖” Enid from @getfitgarcia
“I actually became friends with Chrystal Rosebefore I was a customer. I love her honesty and realness. She even posts real life pix like of her sheets halfway off her mattress 😂 (I’m not the only one). I love the idea behind the brand and what it stands for and how it supports women in all capacities. That being said I love the clothes and I’m a hoarder of those stud earrings in all colors. The customer service is incredible and being someone who has tried all “crossfit” type brands and products over the past 5-6 years she’s at the top of my fav brands. Her hard work really shows. ♥️” Amy from @crossfityeah
WISH LIST
Here are a few items that are on my wish list from Rebellia. Links will be listed at the end with their corresponding number under the photos. Also, NONE of these pictures are mine. They are all Rebellia photos!
- How cute are these pink neon pants? They are high waisted yay!
- I’m obsessed with the colors of this tube dress.
- If you know me, you know that I need this Dog Mom Squad tshirt!
- I love pink, and accessories, which is why these earrings are a must have.
- I’ve been looking for some great workout shorts, and these pink ones are absolute perfection.
- In the Facebook group for Rebellia, Chrystal always asks us every week to share our goals, gratitude, and badassery. I haven’t participated in that yet because I can never come up with great responses like the other ladies, but this mug would seriously remind me of all 3 of these things every day.
- I actually already have these hair ties, but I wanted to share them with all of you. They are great and so good for your hair, as opposed to regular hair ties. They also hold REALLY well when working out.
- These pants are GREAT for the office. I also think that this style pant looks good on everyone. It’s super slimming, and shows off all of your curves.
- When you want that sexy office look, this pencil skirt is a great addition to your closet.
- How freaking cute is this maxi dress? I absolutely love it and will definitely be snagging it once I get a little more money in my account.
- This would be the cutest skirt for any celebration or special occasion. Plus, who doesn’t love a little sparkle?
- This jumpsuit is the bomb dot com! Any of my friends who are newly engaged and have a bridal shower or bachelorette party, this would be so perfect for you.
- I have an issue with white clothing because I always spill coffee on them, but these white pants are absolutely stunning.
Alright, now it’s time for the linkup!

Congrats on becoming a Rebellia ambassador! I love the body con dress you’re wearing! A dress like that is so versatile because you can dress it up or wear it more casually. The black trousers with the gold buttons are very stylish too.

The owner is such a great person too. I think it’s the community that she created along with her brand that really attracts a lot of people. It doesn’t matter if you talk about personal relationship problems, goals that you’ve reached professionally or in the gym, or just something funny and random.
