Spring is officially here and even though it doesn't feel like it in NYC, I am totally in Spring mode. Us New Yorkers are so over the crazy erratic temps here and just want some consistent nice weather. For me bright colors and fun prints are what Spring is about, I love to wear them throughout the spring/summer seasons. They just make me happy and put me in a great mood for the day. A trend that is very hot right now is fruit fashion. My girl Darlene of Suits Heels and Curves did an awesome post on it yesterday. I think this the such a perfect trend for this season, having fruit on your clothes is fun and youthful way to jazz up your style. You can find the fruit trend on tops, pants and dresses, it's everywhere right now. When I saw this shirt from ASOS Curve popping up all over the internet I just had to grab it. This has to be one of the coolest shirt I own, the fun bright yellow pineapple print is so cute and girly. I've already worn this top 3 times and can't get enough of it, it's just such a comfy shirt. I've worn it with jeans and sneakers and in this picture decided to fancy it up with a skirt, the looks are endless.
Weekend Wear: Off The Shoulder Top
Hi Lovies,
Happy Monday all! I am back with another Weekend Wear feature and today I am talking about Off the Shoulder Tops. As you already know I am a huge fan of anything off the shoulder, as seen here, here and here. This trend has been hanging on strong for quite a few seasons now and I am super happy about that. It's definitely one of my fav trends right now especially for the spring and summer seasons. I love how feminine and lady like this type of silhouette is by showing off the perfect amount of shoulder and adding a hint of sexy to any outfit. Since I normally tend to dress anything off the shoulder, I figured this time around I will show how you can rock this trend in a casual look. This Ditsy Floral Top from Additon Elle via Gwynnie Bee was the perfect for that. The rich hues and pretty print makes this such a fun top. I love the beautiful lace trim at the bottom that is super girly along with the comfortable relax fit which made this easy to wear.
Ashley Nell Tipton x Boutique+ Plus Size Try on Haul
Hi Lovies
Today I am bringing you my first plus size try on haul video! Ashley Nell Tipton dropped her spring collection with Boutique+ and JCPenney and I'm totally in love with everything! She has brought pretty bright pastels, floral prints, lace and leather, everything a girl needs for the Spring season.

Definitely head over to JCPenney's now because everything from her collection is currently 40% off, and if you use the code 9SAVE you can save an extra 30%off your purchase! Now you see why I bought so many pieces! Lmao!
Transitioning into Spring
Hi Lovies,
Right now it's very hard to think about Spring when there's like 8 feet of snow outside but I still am. Being a native New Yorker has taught me how to deal with the sporadic weather changes and how to dress for it. Spring is just a week or so away and I love to have things in my closet that can make an easy transition in that season. Jackets are the perfect add ons for any outfit, not only for warmth but to amp up an look. Trench Coats are one of my favorite outerwear for the spring, it's classic as well as being iconic but over the years has evolved into so much more. This Liason Trench from City Chic via Gwynnie Bee is such a modern twist on a classic trench. I love the military feel of the trench with the bold silver buttons. The black color makes it super sleek looking along with the flattering belted design. This trench can easily look great with a tee and jeans for a casual look or with a dress for a more elegant feel, like I did here. Such a great staple to have in your wardrobe.
Denim and Stripes
Hi Lovies,
I was a bad blogger last week and didn't put out a post but I am back! The weather here in NYC has been crazy which has made it difficult to take blog photos. So I braved the frigid temps yesterday to get some shots taken and have some content for you this week. Even though we are about to have a huge blizzard hit us tomorrow, my mind has totally checked out and is in full spring mode. I am loving all the new spring fashions that are hitting my favorite stores and can't wait to be able to start wearing some of the things that I've bought so far. Of course Eloquii is bringing the heat right now with all the amazing things that they have launched on the site. Bright colors and bold prints are everywhere which totally make me happy. This Wavy Stripe Print Midi Skirt immediately caught my eye with the pretty shades of blues and the fun wave stripes. This was definitely a Sandra skirt to say the least with the vibrant colors that are so spring. Such a fun and flirty addition to my skirt collection with endless style possibilities.

Weekend Wear: The Military Jacket
Hi Lovies,
I'm back with another Weekend Wear post and this one is all about the Military Jacket. I've talked about how popular the Military Trend has become and has stayed true for a few seasons now. You can find this style in almost everything from pants to tops and the most iconic being the military jacket. I love uniform look and menswear feel of this type of jacket as well as how versatile it can be. Now I know what you're saying, since I am the ultimate girly girl, how would I incorporate this into my everyday style? Well when you're favorite brand comes out with one with embellished pockets, you make the exception.
Top Five Favorite Make Up Removers
Hi lovies,
Today I am bringing you something different to the blog, been wanting to incorporate more beauty posts. I get so many questions regarding skin care, hair products and make-up so I figured I give YouTube a try and crank out some videos for you. Today I am talking about my top 5 favorite make-up removers. I wear makeup everyday so I love to have a variety of things to remove my makeup with. I've tried a bunch out there but these by far are my favorite 5. There's something here for everyone from wipes, to cleansing oils to balms, take your pick!
Seasonal Metallic
Hi Lovies,
In one of my previous post, I talked about how to incorporate clothes that you would normally wear around the holidays, into your everyday looks. I really have been trying to make this a habit lately, I have so many clothes that get left in the back burner because I purchased them for a special occasion or season. So why not go digging into your closet and find that seasonal item and create a look that I could wear now. For instance, this Pleated Metallic Skirt probably would have only made an appearance during Christmas or New Years, but since I was so fond of it, I decided to create a look that would be perfect to wear for any season. I loved the liquid metal look of this skirt as well as the color which gave off a bronze/rose gold feel.
Plus Size Remix: Among Other Things
Hi Lovies,
Welcome back for another edition of the Plus Size Remix! As promised, I bringing you a PSR every month. If this is your first time to the blog, PSR is a monthly feature where I take a look that inspires me and remix it into a plus size version. Make sure to catch last month's inspiration featuring Carmelia of The Small Wardrobe. For February's PSR remix, my inspiration came from Hallie of Among Other Things. I have been following her blog and journey for quite some time and have seen it evolve. I love her free spirit and daring personality, not to mention her keen sense of style which is simple but always on point. I admire how she has fun with her warbrobe and makes it look so easy and carefree. But even with all of that, I definitely found a connection with her style and mine and that was simplicity. I am all about a simple but chic look and Hallie hits the mark every time.
