King of Pop

Was it the one sparkly glove? Or maybe it was his ability to do all those 360 degree spins in penny loafers?  Maybe it was his transcending music that united people all over the world to take a look at the “Man in the Mirror”?  Well whatever the reason (and there are plenty of them) Michael Jackson is one the greatest entertainers of all time.  He’s totally my fave but I am biased… Continue reading “King of Pop”

Food for Thought

 

Hello Beauties — I hope you all had a great weekend and had the chance to be outside, explore and look fabulous.

My friend Renee and I have been trying to get together for what seemed like months.  I’m so glad we stuck it out didn’t give up because we had such a great time together on Saturday.  We took a food tour sponsored by Food Fun Adventures where we sampled food from hip eateries in Jacksonville’s Avondale area near the St. John’s River.

Laced in Pink

Hello beauties!
One thing that I love to do is wear one color from head-to-toe.  Rocking a monochromatic ensemble does amazing things to your frame no matter what shape you are.  It automatically elongates the silhouette drawing the eye vertically rather than horizontally.  To me it also instantly creates a dramatic look.  So regardless of the color you choose (think all black, red, white or beige), when you decide to wear that one color from head-to-toe be prepared to make a bold statement.

Je Ne Sais Quoi?

Bonjour beautés!

When it comes to fashion icons many fashionistas will undoubtedly place Carrie Bradshaw among the listed.  I am no different — she’s absolutely amazing.  This look was inspired by her character’s journey to the city of lights & love — Paris, France. Continue reading “Je Ne Sais Quoi?”

Parks & Recreations

Some days are just too gorgeous to waste being inside & even though I am not  the outdoorsy type — I do enjoy being outside on a beautiful day.  On this day I met up with two beauties, Brianna & Jessica.

They share my love for fashion, food and photography.  We had such a good time goofing off  (we caused quite a raucous among the park folk).  We kept on being asked “Where are you ladies off to?” or “You look nice, where are you going?”  But we didn’t have any particular reason to be in the park looking fabulous.  Sometimes no reason at all is good enough reason to get dressed up and feel amazing. I do it all the time.  It’s an instant mini makeover and who doesn’t like a good makeover!

Pretty Pastels

Scooter & I sharing a moment.
Earrings & Necklace :: Charming Charlie
Bracelet :: Dorothy Perkins
Dress :: ASOS Curve
Ankle Strap Platforms :: Steve Madden

Hello beauties! I’m so excited to share this post!  I’m the ultimate girly girl — so my love of tulle, pleats, ribbons, bows, ruffles, pastels and little dogs are a given.  So when I had the chance to have a mini photo shoot with a dear friend Carolina of Carolina Photography, I was beyond excited to create a pretty in pastel look.

This dress is so fun to wear and I love it even more because I bought it on sale from ASOS.com (Say, word!)  ASOS is one of my favorite online shopping sites because they cater to curvy ladies!  The plus size boutique called ASOS Curve (how fitting) is very versatile.  They have a galore of charming pieces that can be incorporated into anyone’s wardrobe.  The prices are seriously amazing so sale prices usually cause me to scream or do my little happy dance.

Thanks for reading.

Floral Pantaloons

Earrings & Necklaces :: Charming Charlie
Bracelet :: Dorothy Perkins
Watch :: NYCo. (old)
Handbag :: ShoeDazzle (no longer available)
I’ve been wanting to try the floral jean trend for a while now.  If you are a curvy girl like me, looking for jeans with the perfect fit is hard enough without throwing prints and patterns into the mix.  I unexpectedly came across these fantastic floral skinnies at JCP.  I was pleasantly surprised when I tried them on and they fit perfectly over my hump (my derrière)!  Although I do like the cuff jean look, eventually I think I will raise up the hem to create an ankle length.  (I get a lot of things altered.  You will see how a little tailoring can go a long way.)  I paired it with a loose fit chiffon blouse from F21+ and nude sandals from ShoeDazzle (both no longer available).  
Some curvy ladies might be hesitant to try such a bold pattern on the lower half of their frame, especially when the fashion world encourages us to stick to wearing black A-line silhouettes.  So with that  I encourage you to be big, bold & beautiful.  Every body is beautiful, so go ahead and experiment with color, prints, textures, patterns and the like.  Oh, and don’t forget to rock whatever you wear with the must have accessory — CONFIDENCE!  It will always be in style and it will always look good on you.
