Own It

No one is perfect in fact there are few unwanted pounds on my body that I would like to cut off. However living everyday ashamed or embarrassed about yourself is just not OK. Accept your truth and own your flaws. When you are confident about yourself there is nothing I mean nothing anyone can tell you.

As a woman we all deal with a lot making sure that we are on top of our game. Are you doing great as a Parent? Are you a good Wife? Are you taking the necessary steps to build your Career? Are you working off that cheeseburger you had no business eating this week? While we are so busy taking care of things around us we tend to neglect ourselves. We begin to feel bad about ourselves and not give ourselves the credit that we are due. I've been working extremely hard and some how I seem to have lost my mojo. I mean I work 6 days out of the week and most of the time I barely comb my hair. *Girl* I just had enough and I had to snap myself backed into reality. Even though I work I still need to make time to pamper myself . It's nothing wrong with giving dressed up every now and then showing up and showing out . So here's to enough being enough ..dust that shame off ...get dress and "OWN YOUR REALITY". Most of all dress like you are going to see your Worse Enemy.

I made this beautiful dress back in October of 2014 and I'm pretty pleased with the way it came out given that I didn't use a pattern. I pretty much freestyle this design based on a dress design by the talented Michael Costello. He designed a beautiful wrap dress for Kim Kardashion and I loved that the dress was sexy without exposing a lot of skin. The high split is the focus point of the dress it shows off my sexy legs and it also showcase off my shoes. I love that the dress is loose fitted as well as draped it the front those details hide my muffin top and gives me room to move around without feeling uncomfortable . I think wrap dresses are suitable for women of all shapes and sizes . You can altar the design to your liking and what makes you more comfortable . For me I opted to do loose short kimono sleeves instead of long sleeves for this dress .

Are you loving wrap dresses for spring and summer . If so please tag me in your photos on instagram.

Beauty Must Haves

As a Fashion Blogger I find myself becoming more and more interested in hair and makeup. When I first started blogging I had a basic makeup routine and no I did not own any Brazilian Hair. For makeup I used foundation and maybe some lipstick and that was it for my daily makeup and going out makeup. I didn't use concealer, nor did I contour. For my hair I used extensions from my local beauty supply store.

Revamped

All fashionistas love to keep up with the lastet trends which usually causes us to shop shop shop. However if you would like to save some coins tap into your creative side and revamp your closet. When I say revamp I mean take something out of your closet that you most likey wouldn't wear again because you feel it's out of style.

Editorial Inspiraton

I'm often intrigued by the creativity of many editorial spreads in popular magazines. Flipping through the pages on Harper Bazaar Magazine is like a Iced  Carmel Frappuccino from Starbucks.  

What's Acceptable And Not Acceptable To Wear As A Plus Size Woman

In the world of fashion and style people will not always agree with your take on what's stylish but that is what makes us all different . We as people are most definitely entitled to our own opinion but it's another thing when you scrutinized others  because of your own insecurities . Most plus size women are not all for showing a bit of skin because they don't feel comfortable . I say if you are doing it in a tasteful way then go for it . As long as your body is snatched in the right places why not . No one should be offended by someone being confident . Plus size fashion has come a long way but still I feel as though there is a lack of selections in trendy clothing for women who wear a size 24 and up . Which is my reason to want to design clothing for women who wear extended sizes . I'm here to showcase fierce fashion for women who can relate to me . Fashion and style is not determined by size but determied by creativity and artistry .  

Active Wear For Casual Wear

 

Are you guys ready for spring and summer because I know I am. I'm ready to show some skin and and enjoy summer activities. Speaking of summer I recently decided to change my way of eating and opted to be more healthier.
