Simplybe's Power Moto Jacket

 

Say Hello to fall.. I'm so excited about looks for this fall season and to me fall is all about layering up. Motto leather jackets are a must have item for your fall wardrobe. There are so many ways you can dress up this jacket as well as dress it down. Motto jackets comes in all colors and some have more details than others. It all depends of your personal style. I decided to pair my motto jacket from Simplybe with this faux leather skirt. Also, with a faux leather crop top and to add a pop of color I added the neon satchel. I love the mixture of materials in this look all though everything is black the netted shoe with patent detailing makes the look more interesting. It is also very versatile very edgy and sexy at the same time.

The Essence Of Me Gets Me High

 "Think like a queen. A queen is not afraid of failure. Failure is a steppingstone to GREATNESS" 

It has been a while since I did a blog post but thank you guys for the continuous support. The past two months have been so emotional for me and I had to just step back. I would prepare to do blog posts and realize the material I was putting out was not up to my standards. I'm an emotional eater which caused me to gain some weight. Being in the public eye you always want to look your best because if not the world will definitely let you know that you are slipping. However I went to my best friends baby shower this weekend which was an all white event. I totally took advantage of this as the perfect time to comeback to blogging. I always have these extraordinary ideas in my head of looks that I want to recreate. If you haven't notice the floral headbands have been all of the rage for summer. I love them but I love to stand out and do my own thing. So, decided to go to the fabric store and design my own "crown". I totally fell in love with this trimming and it reminded me of GREECE. At that moment I had my whole outfit all figured out, it's so amazing your mood has an impact of your fashion picks.

What Brands Do I Shop?

Hey Loves

You ladies always have questions about where I shop for my clothes and shoes so I thought it would be a great idea to create a post with my favorite brands.

What size clothes do I wear?
 I can wear a size 22-32 depending on the shape and material of the clothing. If I'm ordering from Asos I order a US 18 and most times I still have to have the items taking in to fit my body properly. If I'm going for a oversize shirt or pants that is when I would purchase a size 30-32. *Style Tip* going up sizes in tops are perfect to create a crop top. It gives you the ability to expose skin without your shirt looking to small.


What size shoes do I wear?
 I wear a size 11 in shoes and boots (My feet are so fat)


Where do I buy undergarments and girdles?
I buy my undergarments from almost everywhere Target, Walmart, Avenue, Ashley Stewart, and of course Lane Bryant. As for girdles I purchased my pantie girdle from Catherine's and they are amazing they go up to a size 10x. Pantie girdles are a must have for all women in all sizes it smooths out the extra belly fat that you don't what shown through your clothing.

What are your favorite stores to shop?
 My favorite stores to shop are Asos, Ashley Stewart, Avenue, Simplybe, Target, Shoesdazzle.com, Macy's and Walmart (I love their men graphic tee and solid tanks)


What is you favorite color?
 My favorite color is black but I'm pushing myself to to get color choices and print for my wardrobe. *Work in progress*


How would you describe your style? 
I would have to say my style is very edgy and fierce. I'm working on learning how to be a little more delicate and soft.


What is your favorite trend at the moment?
I would have to say I'm loving crop tops they are so simple and there are so many endless ways to style a crop top.


I hope this was helpful and remember to expand your choices of stores to shop you never know what amazing things you might find.

What Gives Me Inspiration

Hello loves I'm pretty sure if you follow me on Instagram you have seen these photos before. I prepared this look months ago for a blog post but for some reason I never uploaded the post. I guess I was saving it for the perfect moment and for  the perfect post. Lately I have been over whelmed with work that it sucks the life out of me and I just haven't been pleased with the blog posts I have been doing. I'm so hard on myself because I know that I have talent and I don't ever want it to go to waste. Many people see blogging as a hobby and playing dress up but no one truly knows the work that goes into creating a blog post. I'm such a perfectionist that everything has to be well put together for me to be satisfied with my pictures. I will go to the extreme to get something I need for a post. I'm truly passionate about fashion and I couldn't imagine my life without  blogging but at times life does have a way of knocking you down. One day I was  going through my pictures in my phone on my lunch break and I came across these photos and my heart began to smile. At the very moment I was yet in love all over again with myself, my confidence level is through the roof and there is just know way I can let anything stop me for doing what god called me to do. Looking back over my life from 1 year ago I've grown so much and that just gives me so much inspiration to keep pushing past my obstacles.  Loving yourself is the best feeling in this world and I will continue to encourage you all to be Fierce & Confdent

I thank you all for the continuous support and kind words.

Indie Show FFFWeek 2013

Hola.. So I know that I like super late with this post. However I got the pleasure of attending FFFWeek this year in NYC. FFFweek had tons of event starting June 17 -June 22, I only attended one event which was the Indie Fashion Show. The Indie Fashion is a showcase of independent designers and this year these designers really showed out. There were designers for London and even Australia and their collection were exquisite. These designers were amazing and they are truly setting the bar for retailers.  The reason I say this is because in my opinion there are no Retail stores that have extraordinary items for purchase. Everything is in online and to me that's one disadvantage plus size women have when purchasing clothing. Shopping online is great but what about the time when you need a last minute shirt, or skirt but what you looking for is only online.  It happens to me all the time and I think it would be a brilliant idea to have some of these designers to sale their merchandise in store fronts. These designs were Sexy, Fun, & Trendy and a lot of skin was shown of the runway. I was in love with all the prints, the sheers, the leather, the lace. I think I have about 30 items on my wish list from the show *Sighs*. Plus Size Fashion has elevated so much in the fashion Industry and Society must *GET WITH IT* So long to all the Boring, Box Fitting, Plane Jane .. Clothes. I was really impressed and I hope that I able to show some designs here on my blog.

Check out some photos.

Sexy sexy.. Hey Beauties its summertime and we need to show out. Your body is not perfect but hey flaunt what you got. I saw this amazing dress on Asos and I had to have it. The Aztec print was so unique and  I had to find a way to make my outfit extraordinary.

Keeping up with my promise to stray away from black clothing I decided to add a very striking pop of color. I had this amazing metallic gold material leftover and decided to make it a turban. With every outfit accessories are the icing on the cake for your look. I added the turban and a gold bracelet to finish off my look. I love the combination of the olive green with the metallic gold. This dress is perfect for night or day and if you want to dress it down you can pair it with  really cute flats and a big tote bag. I wanted to go for a sexy look with this dress so I added my fabulous lace-up heels by Luichiny. When selecting body con dresses by any brand be sure to wear the proper under garments. "Get it Tight" "Get It Right"

 

I hope to see all of you gals showing off your curves this summer .xoxoxo

COlOR ME It's My Birthday

Hey Beauties. If you guys didn't know I just celebrated 24 years of life on June 8th, 2013 and I'm so thankful to my lord and savior. To celebrate my birthday I went to dinner with some of my close friends at Teak Restaurant in Hoboken NJ. Of course the best part of my special day was getting dolled up. I wore this beautiful colored Aztec print dress from Asos that I loved and I'm so glad that I went down two sizes when ordering this dress. The dress is mid knee length and I had to actually sew it in to give me the fit that I wanted  for this dress. When ordering dresses that are made of any stretch material from Asos I advise to go down a size or two for the proper fit. 







 

 
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm so proud of myself for wearing color. I'm such a Lover for black that when I'm shopping that's the first color  I look for. I loved how everything came together with the pop of color on my lips and my accessories. I wish I could have gotten a close up of my makeup but the birthday girl was a little tipsy and forgot the camera. I know I know *Birthday Behavior*  Happy Birthday to all my fellow Gemini's. Whoop Whoop.
