Nothing makes me more happier than seeing my friends or family succeed in life, no matter what it is. Whether it be something small or big, it kinda makes you feel like their accomplishments are also yours. I especially love when I see my fellow bloggers have their dreams come to fruition and are launching their own clothing lines. The plus size customer is definitely a tough crowd to please. But when you are that customer and know the struggle then you have a better idea of how you want to go about creating a line. My girl Crystal of the blog Sometimes Glam is a perfect example of this. She recently launched her own plus size clothing line called Astra Signature and I couldn't be more excited for her. I've been a fan of Crystal for quite some time and just adored her style, she was definitely one of the blogger than gave me such inspiration. Now we are good friends and I'm so proud of her accomplishments with her brand.
What I love most about her brand is how much it reflects Crystal, you can see her style and aesthetic in every piece. While the clothing screams Crystal, she still made it wearable for the everyday plus size woman. And the fact that she made the size range available to women in sizes 12-26 is awesome. Her philosophy behind the brand is "ASTRA is Latin for “to the stars”, which is the foundation upon every garment is built. ASTRA is designed and created for every woman who believes they are more. The women who get up in the morning and have the courage to pursue their dreams and face their fears head-on. The women who reach for the stars" I really loved this message and what it stood for.
So you could imagine my excitement when a box from Astra Signature popped up at my doorstep a few weeks ago. Crystal and her team were kind enough to send me over a few pieces from her collection. When I opened the box and saw this Indria Wool Vest, I squealed like a little school girl. I have been obsessed with the whole military trend for a few seasons now and the fact that she encapsulated it in a vest just blew my mind. I'm not a huge fan of vest but this one sure changed my mind about that. It's such a luxe looking piece, with the double breasted design and bold gold buttons that make such a statement. Wear it buttoned up with a structured top and trousers for an easy business look or keep it easy causal by leaving it open with a pair of jeans like I did here. Definitely one of my favorite pieces from the collection that I see myself wearing quite often.
Make sure to head over to the Astra Signature site to check out Crystal's full collection and show her some love and support!
