For some, the cold weather means that their legs go into hibernation. Skirts and dresses get stored away and jeans/pants become your daily uniform. For me that isn't the case, as a true girly girl I actually tend to wear more skirts in the winter months. I mean I'm a skirt fanatic from the get go so it's easy for me to transition. Meaning while shopping for fall/winter clothes, skirts are on the top of the list. My favorite brand to shop for skirts is hands down Eloquii, for obvious reasons. They continue to push the plus size fashion envelope with every amazing piece. They make it so that basically there is something on the site for everyone. I can't even count how many things I own from them, let alone just in skirts. This Pleated Midi Skirt was definitely one that I had to have. The mash up of geometric patterns and combo of vibrant colors went so well together. As well as the pleats which added some delicacy to the skirt. I love that it's super fun and flirty, and makes a total statement. Not to mention the possibilities of looks that I can create, the ideas are flowing!

The Holiday Shop with Fullbeauty
Hi lovies,
Last month me and my Instagram Wives, Darlene and Jami had the pleasure of shooting a holiday video with one of our favorite brands Fullbeauty. We all got to get dressed up and share a few things about holiday fashion and what the IG Wives are all about. This was definitely something we have never done before and was super excited to be a part of it. I mean who doesn't love the chance to get full on glam, am I right? I love the holidays and the fashion that comes with it, whether you like to go all out, stay casual or go the traditional route, Fullbeauty has you covered. Which is why I loved the idea that we each were assigned a "holiday shop" to represent. What a great way to showcase our individual styles and share what we love to wear for the holidays.
The Fur Vest
Hi Lovies,
When it comes to fashion, I can have a love/hate relationship with certain trends, or clothing items. The Fur vest is definitely one of those pieces that I struggle with. I love the idea of them and how they can take any simple look to the next level. I love how some women can pull them off so effortlessly and just look fierce in them. Most of the ones that I find can just tend to add bulk to my look or make me feel like a stuffed animal. Despite all of that, I wasn't going to give up the hunt for the perfect fur vest. Leave it to Roaman's to have one that actually worked out for me. What I loved about this faux fur vest was that is was long which elongates the body is super flattering. The black color is super chic and goes with just anything. The fact that it has elastic in the waist is also great, as some fur vest have no structure, in turn making you look bigger. This one has a little cinch giving the appearance of some shape. You can rock it open as I did here or use the hook and eye closures to wear it closed. Super cozy and warm, with pockets to keep your hands warm during these colder days in NYC. It's a great layering piece to have in your wardrobe for the season.
Weekend Wear: Cozy Sweater
Hi Lovies!
After a long week of work, there's nothing better than enjoying my weekends. The weekends are usually spent with my Beau and of course with my Instagram Wives taking blog phots and doing brunch. Last year I had the pleasure of moving into my fellow IG wife's Darlene house, I am her downstairs tenant. One of the best things about moving into her house besides being closer to my blogger boos, was the fact that she had a dog. My baby Skittles unfortunately passed away almost 2 years ago and little Anakin has definitely filled that void of having a beloved pet. He's one of the sweetest, cutest and funniest dogs I ever met and I love him. It's amazing what the love of a dog can do and make you feel, seeing his little face just makes me smile every time. Some weekends I just want to throw on something cozy and just chill with him. It's always fun and he just loves being outside, running around, enjoying the day and barking at squirrels. He's just a hoot!
Brand Spotlight: Fullbeauty
Hi Lovies,
One of my favorite things about being a blogger is you get to work with so many brands as well as get to know the people behind the company. They are no longer just a retailer that you enjoy shopping from, they are now much more. Besides building a blogger relationship with them, you get to become more acquainted with the team on a personal level. You find out why they enjoy your work and support what you do for them as a brand which to me is so rewarding. This only makes working with the brand that much more rewarding and enjoyable. One of those brands is Fullbeauty, as you know I post about them very often. Being a part of their Own Your Curves Ambassador Program for the past year and getting to know the brand and team has been such a great experience. Not only have I got to know the brand and what they stand for but I'm able to bring this information to my readers. A plus size market place that has been around for 10 years as the fit experts of plus-size clothing, they offer the best fashion, sizes 12 to 44, empowering you to look and feel beautiful and to #OwnYourCurves.
These Boots Are Made For Walking
Happy Monday!
Boot season is definitely in full effect and I'm loving what I'm seeing as of late. Normally I aim to get the basics colors, like black and brown in my boots since they go with so much. But recently I have been drawn to the not so basic colors for my footwear. I love to amp up a simple outfit with a punch of color, whether it be with a bag, my outerwear, or in this case a pair of boots. The Sofie Colorblock Suede Tall Boot are such a statement boot, the beautiful Merlot color that is super on trend and is perfect for the fall. The colorblock design and brown piping make it so chic, while still remaining comfortable with the stack heel. What I love most about these boots is that they are both wide width and wide calf. I know the struggle of trying to find a fashionable tall boots that fit over my ample calves. So it's great to know I can always go to the Avenue and find stylish boots that actually fit me. If you have a hard time finding boots that fit, head over to the Avenue and check out their selection.
Gwynnie Bee One Style, Three Ways: The Sheath Dress
Hi Lovies,
I love taking on challenges, especially style ones because they are fun and get my creative juices going. So when Gwynnie Bee asked me to be part of their "One Style, Three Ways" series, I jumped at the chance. I participated in one last year and it was all about the bow blouse, this time it is all about the sheath dress. But not just any sheath dresses, these came from their new exclusive collection with the brand TOCCA. I know what you're saying, "isn't Tocca a beauty brand?" Well TOCCA has been in the fashion industry for over 20 years with a vision for creating beautiful clothing at affordable prices. Sophisticated and modern, TOCCA is known for its
beautifully wearable pieces that exude a feminine, sexy edge and
contemporary beauty products inspired by the Old World. They are extending their apparel collection into plus with an exclusive 9-piece collection with GB ranging in sizes 14-24W/1X-3X. I fell in love with this collection immediately, all the pieces were right up my alley and I couldn't wait to start adding some to my GB closet. If you saw one my previous post with this Adrianna Papell dress, then you know that GB is a clothing rental subscription service for women sizes 10-32. Sounds good so far? Then try them out for a month for free!
Fun with Fringe
Hi Lovies,
The fringe trend has totally grown on me like a fungus, it's literally everywhere on the fashion scene. You don't have to think of fringe anymore as something tacky from the 70's. What I am loving most about it is how I can incorporate it into my everyday style. Whether it be on the weekends when I want to be super comfortable but still want to add some flare to my look. Even for during the week fringe can be fun for work while still remaining dress code approved. This fringe skirt is perfect for that, it's not too over the top and the asymmetrical design makes it a unique piece. Along with the faux suede and the classic black color, this skirt was super chic and stylish.
Must Have Jackets For Fall
Hi Lovies,
For not being the biggest fan of the colder temps, I have quite a collection of outerwear. This is one of the few things I enjoy about the fall/winter, that I can delve into my closet and start rocking my favorite jackets. Whether it be using it for layering purposes, tying it around your waist for a funky look or just want an accent piece to drape over your shoulders. There's just something about a piece of outerwear that can take a look to the next level. Here are my top five favorite must have jackets for the fall.
