Happy Monday all! Spring has finally made it's way over to NYC and we have been having the best weather. Easter Sunday was in the 80's! I don't know about you but this type of weather puts me in the best mood. Especially when it comes to getting dressed, all I want to wear are my fun pieces of clothing. In one of my previous post, I mentioned how the fruit trend has become very popular this season. Well besides fruits, animals and birds have been hitting the scene as well. I just love the whimsical and lively feel of this trend. and one brand that gets this is Eloquii. When I first saw this skirt on their Instagram Live during the opening party of their DC pop-up shop, I nearly died. It has stripes and colorful parrots on it, nuff said! This playful print just made me so happy not to mention catching the eye of quite of few people. Eloquii's signature studio midi never disappoints and this skirt is definitely Bae right now.
Who What Wear
Hi Lovies,
I know I am totally late to the party with the Who What Wear Collection for Target. Honestly I don't know what took me so long to actually buy something. I've loved everything they've had since they first launched last year with their spring collection. Since then they have been adding to the collection with each season and I've been loving it. Not only has the pieces been on trend, stylish and fashion forward but they made this collection size inclusive. The collection is available in plus with sizes ranging from 14W-26W which in my book is pretty amazing. Their newest stuff definitely caught my eye and I ended up buying quite a few pieces. I just really loved the Retro-Modern vibe of the collection. The simple colors, patterns and silhouette of the pieces are such a refreshing and effortless look for the spring.

Plus Size Remix: Crystalin Marie
Hi Lovies,
It's that time of the month again, I am back with another Plus Size Remix! I am so sorry that I didn't get one out for March, but it was a bit crazy last 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 Hallie of Among Other Things. This months inspiration came from Crystalin Marie of the blog Crystalin Marie. I totally love her blog, her style is very simple and classic with a touch of flare. I love how she adds pops of color or print to jazz up an easy look. She makes getting dressed look super easy all while remaining stylish. I love how she mentions in her bio that her style is always evolving and she hopes her daily posts not only inspire us to feel confident and stylish everyday, but encourages us to invest in classic pieces, use what you already have in your closet, and to make smart buying decisions. That is awesome!
Back in the Day
Hi Lovies,
Lately I've been obsessed with wearing sneakers with dresses and skirts. It actually takes me back to the 90's when dressing like a man was a trend. Growing up in Spanish Harlem, I've seen trends and fads come and go, but being able to dress like one of the guys was my favorites. Baggy jeans, rugby shirts and Timberland boots was my everyday attire. But like most things, this trend faded into the background, I got older and my style evolved. Hard to believe the woman you see today use to be into that type of style. That's why I love when old styles and trends make their way around again, it gives me back a little bit of my past while I take it make it work with my current style. One of my favorite sneakers to wear back in the 90's were a classic pair of Stan Smith Adidas. It was something about the simplicity to them and how they were still able to make a statement. Not to mention they went with literally everything. Now you can find them in damn near every color combination, like my Metallic Pink ones (see here) and of course the Classic White ones with Gold Accents that I'm wearing here.

Floral and Lace
Hi Lovies,
If you saw my Plus Size Try on Haul Video that I posted last week with the new Ashley Nell Tipton x JCPenney Spring collection, then you know I went ham! I instantly fell in love with Ashley's fashions when she dropped her Fall collection back in September (see here, here, here). Her Spring collection didn't disappoint, it is everything, the perfect combo of feminine and edgy which I love. My absolute favorite piece from the collection is the amazing Floral Moto Jacket. Moto jackets are my obsession and when I saw this beauty, I nearly fainted. The pretty pastel floral print against the light cream color was just spring perfection. The stud detail on the lapel so represents Ashley's style and fashion giving me edgy realness while still remaining girly. This jacket will be on heavy rotation this season.
Embroidered Shirt Dress
Hi Lovies,
Now that Spring has arrived, I have started to build up my wardrobe for the season. One of my favorite things to wear during the spring are Shirt Dresses. Menswear trend is super popular right now and I'm totally digging it.. It ties in with my preppy and sophisticated style so well. Shirt Dresses are just an easy way to look polished and stylish at the same time. When Eloquii dropped this Embroidered Shirt dress, I nearly lost my mind. It has the menswear inspired pinstripes that I love, while the bright embroidery gives me the pop of color that I enjoy. This kind of dress is so versatile as well, easy to dress up with a belt to give it some shape along with a pair of sandals. You can also throw this on with a cute pair of kicks and take on the weekend in style like I did here.
Pineapples and Metallic Pink
Hi Lovies,
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.
