As you know I am a huge Harry Potter fan, so I was overjoyed when the movie Fantastic Beast and Where to Find Them came out. Since the last book that came out was back in 2007 and last movie was 2011, so it was great that they made this one for the fans. Now I will confess, I have yet to see the movie (insert gasp here) only because I haven't found someone to go with that loves HP as me. Now that doesn't mean that I don't know the premise of the movie and the characters. I've read up on back when the trailer came on and I instantly fell in love with movie. The movie is based off of one of the text books that the students used in Hogwarts and is suppose to be a prequel. From the previews alone I instantly fell in love with the 1920's style clothing that the cast wore in the movie. So you could imagine my joy when Torrid dropped a Fantastic Beast collection. It showcases pieces from the two characters Porpetina and Queenie Goldstein. I was immediately drawn to Queenie's pieces, they were elegant and chic looking, which totally represents my style.
Fine Wine
Hi Lovies,
This season jewel tones have been all the rave and I have just been embracing it with open arms. Emerald greens, aubergines, dark midnight
blues can be found all over the fashion scene. The fan favorite for the fall/winter seems to be the trendy Merlot jewel tone. Season after season it continues to reappear and with good reason. The rich wine color is just so elegant looking in pretty much everything as well as timeless. So you know I lost my mind when I was able to find this color in a dress and it was faux suede?!? Roaman's via Fullbeauty.com continues to get it right, this Faux Suede V-neck Dress is pure perfection. The hi-low trapeze silhouette made for a comfortable and effortless fit, while the v-neck gave it some structure. Oh let's not forget that this dress also has pockets, SCORE! The fabric is a nice weight, perfect for the cold days but totally looks and feels like real suede. The color is what really brings out the beauty in this dress, which totally made me look chic and sleek. I need this dress in everyone color!
Plus Size Remix: Atlantic-Pacific
Hi Lovies,
Happy Monday everyone, today I am back with another edition of Plus Size Remix. If this is your first time to the blog then PSR is a monthly feature where I take a look that inspires me and remix it into a plus size version. Last month's inspiration came from gorgeous Folake of Style Pantry (see here) Today's inspiration came from the stylish and chic Blair of the blog Atlantic-Pacific. I have been a huge fan of her blog for a long time and have fallen in love with style. She's elegant, poised, and all around just classy. Every photo that she takes is a feast for the eyes, just aesthetically pleasing. What I love about her style is how polished it is, everything she wears is just effortless and perfect. Not to mention how versatile its is, she can go from an beautiful fancy ball gown to a turtleneck and jeans and still look amazing. Which brings me to this look, her version of this casual weekend look caught my eye immediately. It was such a cool but put together look, and totally perfect for the current temps here in NYC, I couldn't wait to recreate it.
Curly Hair Must Haves
Hi Lovies,
Today's post is all about the curls and my must haves that every curly girl needs in their arsenal. Now remember, not everyone's hair is the same and I am speaking from my own experiences with my hair. I have fine hair with a 3B/3C curl type and these must haves are what I use on a day to day basis. Having curly hair is a job in itself, so to some these must haves might seem a little excessive, but its what I do to achieve my beautiful curls. So if you're a curly girl and need some info on what you should have, then check out this round up.
Dressing Up Denim
Hi Lovies,
I have said this time and time again that I am the ultimate girly girl, and I truly love that about me. I also love that people can associate my signature style with me, like "oh that's a Sandra dress." While I will always be true to my personal style, I've found myself enjoying looks that I would normally not wear. Obviously jeans is one of those things, I continue to have a love hate relationship with them. As much as I enjoy a good skirt or dress, they are tough to wear during the colder months here in NYC. Having to wear tights isn't my favorite thing to do so that's where jeans come into play. Jeans might not be my go to item but I do love the convenience of them. More so when a brand can make a pair that stand out from the rest and make a statement, like these Foil Print Jeans from Roaman's. These are such a different and beautiful pair of denim, the gorgeous foiled leaf print creates a feast for the eyes. While the comfortable stretch fabric and skinny fit make these so easy to wear. Another great thing about jeans is how effortlessly they can be dressed up or down, and with this pair it's definitely achievable.
Celestial
Happy Monday!
I know I was a bit MIA last week but I was preparing for the holiday weekend and taking a much needed break from the internet. But I am back, feeling refreshed from my 4 day weekend and ready to bring my A game to the blog. Since the weather has been so crazy these last few days, it's been hard to dress appropriately. I have taken advantage of the milder days to wear some pieces from the Melissa McCarthy Seven 7 line. You guys already know how much I love her stuff, I posted about her collection here and here. The clothing is such great quality and just emits Melissa's style throughout the collection. I instantly fell in love with this Celestial Skirt, the swingy silhouette and beautiful astronomy print made this so unique. I especially loved that it had a scorpion in the print since that is my sign and pockets as well. The mix of light colors in the print went so well together, while the pull on design made for an effortless and comfy fit. It's flirtatious and makes you want to celebrate all the reason why it's fun to be girl.
Thanksgiving Day Looks to Inspire
Hi Lovies,
Thanksgiving is one of those holidays that can be difficult to dress for, I know I struggle with it. Since the day is spent mostly inside with family and friends eating, sometimes we feel no urgency to get dressed up. While at the moment I have no idea what I am going to wear for Turkey Day, I know I still want to wear something cute. I use any opportunity to dress up so Turkey Day is no different. Since I know this day can be a pain to dress for, I figured why not give you guys some inspiration. I put together a round up of looks to get you motivated for Thanksgiving. From something casual and comfy, to dressy and everything in between, there's something here for just about everyone. Hopefully one of these looks inspires you!
Handkerchief Skirt
Hi Lovies,
I've mentioned before that in the past I was not the biggest fan of plaid. But within the last 2 years or so, I have grown to enjoy it, especially for this time of the year. There's just something about it that represents the winter. I'm sure most people think of lumberjacks whenever plaid is concern but it has definitely come a long way in the fashion world. It can be found just about everywhere in the most fashionable styles and colors combos. Take this amazing plaid Fringe Hem Handkerchief Skirt by Melissa McCarthy Seven7 line for instance. After wearing their Mauve Poncho top in one of my previous posts, I knew I had to have more from her line. The rainbow tartan plaid pair with the raw edges of the handkerchief hem makes this skirt so unique and different. The fabric drapes so well flattering the figure as well as keeping me warm. Easily paired with some strappy heels, peep toe booties or tall riding boots like I'm wearing, for plenty of chic worthy looks. This skirt is such a conversation piece and will definitely catch the eyes of many.
Skirt Crazy
Hi Lovies,
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!
