2016 Plus Size Remixes

Hi Lovies!

When I started the Plus Size Remix feature on the blog back in July of 2015, I had no idea what a hit it would be. You guys showed so much love for my inspirational recreations and loved the idea that Plus Size Women can dress just like the straight size women. I had so much fun putting these looks together and also sharing with you some of my fav bloggers and why I chose them to recreate. As with life, things can be unpredictable and crazy so I didn't get to do a PSR each month like I wanted but I promise for 2017 to bring it! Here are all my Plus Size Remixes for 2016, enjoy!

Sequins and Leather

Hi Lovies,

New Year's Eve is only 3 days away, and I have gone into sparkle, shine, glitter, and shimmer overload. This is the time of year where you can get away with all that stuff. Now not everyone is the super dressed up type for NYE, so today I am bringing you a look that is simple but still has that added sparkle that a NYE look should have. To me, sequins is definitely a must and this Sequined Illusion Tunic from Roaman's gives me all of that. I love the variations of colors in the sequins from bronze to gold and champagne. The mesh neckline and sleeves give it a sexy edge while the tunic silhouette flatters the figure. You will definitely be making a statement entering the new year with this sparkly number.

Christmas Glam

Hi Lovies,

For some Christmas Day is a super special day, they pull out all the stops and get dressed to the nines. While I can't say that is the type of Christmas I have, I do love the idea of doing a mega glam holiday look. As we know the color red is one of the favorite colors to wear during the holidays. It's bright, vibrant and it makes a statement. Even for me, who isn't the biggest fan of red, likes to wear it a few times during this time of the year. So a red dress was definitely in order for a glam look and this Kimono Knot Front Dress from Simply Be was a show stopper. The minute I put this dress on, I felt like the belle of the ball. This sensual dress just falls on the body like a dream, the slinky fabric is soft and comfy. The front slit along with the flattering knot detail and kimono style neckline make this such an elegant dress. Is it safe to say that you'll be turning heads all night in this dress? I think so!

Metallic and Feathers

Hi Lovies

Christmas is 4 days away and it's time to start thinking about what you're going to wear. Now there are all types of people. Some like to go super glam, some casual chic, and some simple and easy. Depending where and what you're going to be doing that day, gauges what type of holiday outfit you want to wear. Today's look is an easy comfortable glam look that is great for Christmas or NYE. This Feather Fringe Top from Roaman's is simple with such a chic edge with the feather trim. It can definitely pump up the most causal of looks and the classic black color flatters every figure.

Treat Yourself

Hi Lovies,

When it comes to the holidays, I enjoy running around and getting gifts for my friends and loved ones. There's no better feeling than bringing a smile to someone's face with a thoughtful gift, no matter how big or small. But the gift of giving doesn't stop there, every year I make it a point to get myself something special as well. There's definitely nothing wrong with treating yourself, if you have the means, I highly recommend doing it. It's a nice way to reward yourself for all the great things you've done throughout the year. This year I decided to do something different and gift myself a hair makeover. With Christmas and New Years days away, I figure why not get this hair right for the holidays. 

How to Stay Winter Cute

Hi Lovies,

I don't know about you but I am not of fan of Winter at all. Despite being born in the Fall, I crave the spring and summer temps. Not to mention how much easier it is to dress myself for work or for leisure and still look stylish. But since I am born and raised in NYC, I know a thing or two about how to remain cute even during these brutally cold months. Here are a few tips on how to stay cute during the winter.

This post is in partnership with Suits, Heels & Curves, Simply Stylist  and Dove. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Hi Lovies,

If you are anything like me then you probably already have a list of holiday events, gathering and family functions to attend.  This time of the year can bring a lot of anxiety and stress especially when it comes to seeing that favorite aunt who feels your weight needs to be the center of conversation. Well this season my bestie, Darlene of Suits, Heels and Curves and I have decided to partner up with Simply Stylist and Dove Dry Spray Antiperspirant to share with you our tips to feeling cool and confident over the holiday season.

Weekend Wear: Faux Layering

Hi Lovies,

When it comes to my weekends, I just like to wear stuff that is comfortable and easy. During the colder months that can be tough because we have to to stay warm. So we tend to do the layering thing, which in turn isn't all that comfy. Don't get me wrong, I love the look of layering, especially with different prints and fabrics. But I am not a fan of the bulk that layering can sometimes bring, so sometimes faking it is the way to go. The Avenue is known for their "2fer" tops, which I am a huge fan of. It gives you the stylish look of laying with out all the extra clothing. This Square Dot 2fer Sweater was at the top of my list, not only because of the wine color that I love but  the preppy look that I am so fond of. The sweater is definitely warm enough for the winter while the print adds a charming feel to it. I'll be scouting out some more of these tops for quick and easy looks this season.

Getting the Family Ready for the Holidays

Hi lovies,

With the holidays less than 3 weeks away, it's time to start looking for what to wear. Now for me the holidays are pretty low key with the occasional Christmas party here and there. Nonetheless, I always like to be prepared with a few outfits just in case. Even more so when you have a family, it's hard to try and get everyone. As much as I shop from Amazon, I never really shopped their fashion category. So I decided to browse through their fashions and found quite a few things that I loved, not only for me but for the entire family as well. Gotta love a site where you do do one stop shopping at and with being a prime member, I take total advantage of that. To make your life easier, check out my holiday fashions find for the whole family.
