Target Spring 2014 Apparel & Accessories Preview

Hi Lovies,

Last week I attended the Target Spring 2014 Apparel and Accessories preview, and I have to say it was quite a treat. We were greeted by the lovely Target staff and given $25 gift cards. As you entered the showroom it was filled with beautiful fashion and accessories. They had live models on decorated platforms to emulate mannequins. All the new spring fashions were pretty, colorful and totally on trend. As well as the shoes, bags and gorgeous jewelry. I have to say that Target is definitely stepping up their game, I could only hope that this trickles over to the plus size line. Here are a few photos from the preview.

Target Holiday House Party Preview Event

Hi Lovies,

Last Tuesday I attended the Target Holiday House Party preview event. It was such a cool event, we got to preview holiday offerings, from fashion and beauty to home decor and grocery. Plus we got a sneak peek at Best.Party.Ever, their pinterest-based collaboration with premier party planner David Stark. Everything was so festive and beautiful, that even the scroogiest of folks would of gotten in the spirit of the holidays. They made the guests feel very welcomed with delicious cocktails, spice hot chocolate and delicious Hors d'oeuvres. As well as having an awesome candy bar for the guest to indulge in. Upon leaving the event, you were given a $25 gift card to Target, which was great, just in time for the holidays! 

The Referee

Hi Lovies!

I took these pics a few weeks back and forgot I had them, they got lost in the shuffle of life lol! But I felt the outfit was worthy of an outfit post. I have to say this ensemble totally made me feel like I be a chic referee for a basketball game or something. I love black and white stripes, despite the ridiculous rule that plus size women shouldn't wear stripes...pfttt...funk that!! I love stripes in any shape or form. So when I first tried out this striped tank from ASOS Curve via Gwynnie Bee (see here), I knew I had to have it, especially since it was on sale. I definitely would be getting a lot of wear from this tank, you can do so much with it.

Whatever!

Hi Lovies!

Well fall is officially here and it's time to start pulling out the outerwear! As much as I enjoy the warm weather, I've noticed that I have accumulated quite a few jackets/coats. But my favorite of them all is my ASOS Curve Military Jacket with studded shoulders. I totally didn't get enough wear out of it last year but so plan on rocking this baby more this time around. There's nothing bad I could say about this jacket, it has everything I love. The military style of it, that's so trendy at the moment along with the faux leather sleaves and studs on the shoulder just make it so perfect for the Fall.

Fall Fashion Faceoff #FFfaceoff: Tartan (Plaid) Trend

Hi Lovies!

As you all I know I am not a fan of the fall/winter seasons, so to get myself in the mood I decided to join Kelly's of MasqueMag awesome Fall Fashion Faceoff Challenge! I think this challenge is great because it pushes me to get more involved in the throws of the Fall Fashion. Tartan/Plaid has become a major trend for this season and is spreading like wild fire. I've never been crazy about plaid but I have to say I've seen some cute and fashionable pieces in many of my favorite plus size stores. So I took the plunge and went with this amazing emerald green plaid Moto Jacket from MYNT 1792 via Gwynnie Bee. 

Skater Girl

Hi Lovies!!

It seems that I've fallen into yet another obsession and that's skater skirts or dresses, I can't get enough of them! They happen to be super trendy at the moment, of any style and material, especially in leather (faux or real). So when I saw this Emerald Skater Skirt from ASOS Curve on Gwynnie Bee, I had to try it. I spoke about Gwynnie Bee on my last post, see here. I had been eyeing it on ASOS for a while but of course I waited too long and it sold out. You can imagine my excitement when I saw that Gwynnie Bee had it available. I have to say this is one of the best skater skirts I've worn, it fits like a dream, it's well made and the color is amazing, plus it comes with the belt. I was so pleased with the skirt that I immediately went to the ASOS website and ordered the black version which is on sale for $24, as well as the red and navy versions.

Ombre and Stripes

Hi Lovies!

I'm really having a hard time letting go of summer, and refuse to get into fall mode. So this weekend, despite the cooler temperatures, I still dressed with summer in mind. I purchased this Ombre hi/low skirt from Forever 21 back in July and have worn it about 3 times, which is a lot for me. I love this skirt and always get compliments when I wear it. I adore the turquoise/aqua color as well as the beige color it transitions into. I wasn't a fan of the whole ombre trend this summer but this skirt definitely made me a fan. 

Dots and Stripes

Hi Lovies!

Since summer is coming to a close, I feel very pressured to wear as many of my summer dresses as I can before it gets too cold. I was lucky enough to grab this dress from Modcloth during their huge yearly sale where they are practically giving stuff away. Of course I waited to long to buy stuff and almost all the awesome pieces were sold out in my size (I'll be better prepared next year! lol). But I was very happy to have gotten this very adorable and dainty dress from them. You get the best of both worlds with this piece because it has polka dots and stripes. I'm also totally in love with the color combination, green, black and a peachy color look so great together. To see Modcloth's awesome plus size line, click here.
