Career
Loey Lane started her YouTube channel in February 2013. She always loved fashion and make up but noticed that there was a huge gap when it came to fashion for plus-sized bodies.

She started off by posting her lookbooks inspired by Disney, makeup routines, and shopping hauls. Her intention to interact with other people soon took off.

She was featured in an interview with Cosmopolitan magazine where she stated the necessity for Disney to cater to different bodies. In 2017, Loey partnered with Lauren Conrad in the NY Fashion Week 2017 to help LR Collections expand into plus-size fashion.
