The Instagram Wives Get Fall Ready with Stitch Fix

Thank you Stitch Fix for Sponsoring this post. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Hi Lovies,

I am super excited to bring you today's post because me and my fellow Instagram Wives Darlene of Suits, Heels and Curves and Jami of Style Over Size have teamed up with Stitch Fix! We've partnered with them to show you how Stitch Fix works for 3 different women with unique styles and body types. Darlene is a new mom, so she loves comfortable but stylish pieces for the Mom on the go. Jami loves a good edgy, street style look, preferable with some denim. And I love super feminine, sophisticated, classic styles with a touch of chic that can double for work and play. So we were very excited to get a refresh for our fall/winter wardrobe with the pieces we got.

The New Little Black Dress

Hi Lovies,

If you didn't know by now me and my boo Darlene from Suits, Heels and Curves have a Facebook Live sale called The Blogger House Curvy Closet Sale. We use this platform to sell clothes from our closets that we no longer want at a discounted price. During the sales we are constantly talking about certain wardrobe staples that everyone should have in their closets. Surprisingly I have yet to do a post on this but definitely putting this on my blog post to do list! One of the things that is for sure a wardrobe staple is a LBD (little black dress). Everyone needs an LBD because there is so many things you can wear it for. You can use it for work, date night, special occasion, the options are endless. Now for some a LBD might be too much on the boring side but with all the new trends and options available for us Plus Size gals, you don't have to settle for plain.

Transitional

Hi Lovies,

I am officially in Fall mode, whether I want to be or not lol! One of my favorite things to do with my summer wardrobe is create looks where I can incorporate pieces into Fall. You guys know how I love to invest in pieces that I can transition into several seasons. It challenges me to remix my clothes and come up with new and fresh styles for the season. Plus it saves you tons of money on buying clothes for the new season as well. Win-Win!

Leopard Print is the New Neutral

Hi Lovies,

Hi my name is Sandra and I am a Leopard Print addict! Lmao! If you've been a long time follower of my blog, then you know that I have a slight addiction to leopard print. To the point that even my blog design has the print on it! Well folks I am happy to announce that this season's hottest trend is none other than (drum roll please), LEOPARD PRINT! God has answered my prayer and I can now run amok in head to toe leopard and no one will judge me. Now I know that this print is not for everyone and can be a little daunting. But don't fret, leopard print is considered a neutral and literally can be wore with anything.

Fall is Coming

Hi Lovies,

It's hard to believe that Fall is officially 3 days away. As you know I love the summer so it's safe to say I am not thrill for the upcoming season. But I will say that all the new Fall Fashions that I am seeing on the interwebs is actually getting me a little excited. All the trends coming down the pike like Plaids, Leopard Prints, Bold Colors/Prints and Suitings are all right up my alley. It's wonderful to see these trends being represented by a lot of my favorite plus size brands. But the one brand who always gets it right and brings the heat when it comes to trends is Eloquii. Their last few fall collections that have dropped have proven that Eloquii isn't playing any games this season. They've hit all the on trend fashions and I literally want everything.

Summer Fashion with Macy's NY Collection

Blog: This was a sponsored post with Macy's but all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Hi Lovies,

I love shopping for summer fashion, it's my favorite time of the year to shop. The summer is where I really thrive with my fashion and really put all my efforts into it. You guys know that I have a full time job and I am always looking for pieces that can play double duty. I like getting a bang for my buck so to speak. Having a variety of places to shop is also important and Macy's has been coming through in the clutch with their summer options. Their NY Collection has such fashion forward and trendy pieces that can be worn for both work and play. I have been obsessed with jumpsuits lately which is crazy since I  use to never wear them but now you can't stop me from being in one. This Tie Waist Jumpsuit from the NY Collection has been the perfect addition to my wardrobe. It's super chic,  comfy, easy to wear and great for day or night. I am loving the blue color and the tie waist feature which is so flattering to the figure. The crop leg design is on trend and a great way to show off your shoes. When I talk about double duty, this jumpsuit is the perfect example of a piece that can easily be transition into the fall. If you haven't shopped Macy's NY Collection before, definitely make sure to pop over to their site. Take advantage of all the fabulous things they have to offer for the Summer.

Rainbow

Hi Lovies!

Wow, it's been over a month since I posted on the blog, shame on me!! last month was pretty crazy with a bunch of things but I am back and bringing some color to the blog. While summer here in NYC can be brutal, I really thrive during this time. Summer is truly my favorite time of the year and that goes for the fashion as well. Target has been one of my go tos for stylish and trendy clothes for the season. My current favorite is the Who What Wear collection. Since they came out with this collaboration over a year ago, I have bought quite a few pieces. They stay current and bring such fashion forward pieces every season. Perfect example is this gorgeous Striped Off the Shoulder Midi Dress. I literally squealed when I saw it and immediately added it to my cart. It is truly stunning with all the beautiful bright colors along with the feminine asymmetrical ruffle and shoulder tie. The midi length is very flattering and fabric is super lightweight which is perfect for the summer heat. If you're looking to add some color to your wardrobe and want to make a statement, then this is the dress for you!

Shoes of Prey

Hi Lovies

As a woman, when it comes to shoes I truly struggle with them. I'm not the typical girl that goes crazy for shoes. Not because I don't like them but because how difficult it is for me to find good shoes for my feet. For as long as I can remember I had a big foot, wearing a size 10 made it a challenge. Then after I had my son and gained a bunch of baby weight my foot also became wide so that also added to my trails and tribulations of shoe hunting. So you can imagine my excitement when the brand Shoes of Prey reached out and wanted to collab with me. They are an amazing shoe company that makes shoes in sizes US 2-15 (including half size) in narrow to extra wide widths in most styles. What I loved most about this company was that I was able to create my own shoe from start to finish. The style of shoe I chose to create was the Jasmin Heel. I loved the style of this shoe and it was something I didn't have in my collection. I had so much fun creating this shoe from the colors, the type of genuine leather, heel style/height, and toe type. Best of all they came in wide width so I knew they would fit great. One of the coolest feature about customizing my own shoe was that I was able to inscribe something on the foot bed, how cool is that?! It's was such a sweet little touch that really made it personalize just for me. Of course I chose to put my blog name but you can choose to put a small quote, a loved ones name or anything that means the most to you. Now don't be alarmed, this customization service isn't going to break the bank. I was pleasantly surprised that with quality of the shoes, the quick delivery and all the customization that I did, my shoe came out to $180. That's a pretty great price to pay for a good quality shoe and you get to customize it to your liking! With that said, I am already plotting to get another pair!

Summer Staples

Hi Lovies,

Now that the unofficial start of summer is upon us, I can really get into the swing of things. Even thought the weather here in NYC is still very bipolar, I have my wardrobe summer ready. One of the brands that have helped me out with that is Talbots. Their summer plus size collection is chock full of some of my favorites, like pastels, prints and fun colors. Since I do work a 9 to 5 job, I am always trying to get double duty out of my wardrobe. Looking for pieces I can add to my closest that are versatile for both work and play. Go to items for me are blazers and jeans, they are great because I can wear them to work and instantly turned them into a casual look for the weekend. I have become obsessed with their Stripe Lightweight Blazer. I love the preppy pink and white stripes which is super trendy and chic. Not to mention the linen fabric that is going to keep me cool and comfortable through the day. Great for day and night, this blazer is definitely a must have for the season.

Caftan Crazy

Hi Lovies,

Warmer temps are finally upon us here in NYC and has gotten me in the mood to start building my spring/summer wardrobe. I shop from a variety of different brands, both high end and low end during this time of the year. Since the season is so short I lean more to the brands that offer trendy fast fashion pieces that are budget friendly. Of course I'll splurge here and there on those pieces that I just have to have but otherwise I try to be a little more smart about how I spend my coin. As of late I have found myself loving the brand Deb Shops. They are an online shopping destination for the curvy and confident babes of today. This is definitely a brand where you find up to date, on trend items that won't break the bank. Now their stuff might not work for everyone but I was able to find a ton of pieces that work for my everyday style. One of them was this gorgeous Leopard Print Caftan Maxi Dress. You guys already know how obsessed I am with anything leopard print and this dress stole my heart. I was pleasantly surprised at how great the quality was of this dress, not to mention how comfortable it is as well. The caftan design made the dress so elegant and while the v-neck neckline added some sexiness to it. Since leopard print is such a neutral color, you can literally pair it with anything. I of course decided to go with a pop of color with my pink shoes and bag that completed the look.
