Hey friends!  How are you doing?  It’s been a minute since I’ve shared on here.

I wanted to get this post up earlier this week but technical difficulties.

c’est la vie…

I felt like creating a romantic and feminine look for no reason at all.

Some days I feel I have this quarantine thing on lock and others, well, not so much.

I miss the problems and the freedoms we use to have in a pre Covid world, but do not mistake me for thinking we should just be all lax about the seriousness of our situation and get back to life as previously scheduled.

Okay ladies!  I’ve heard you!  You’ve asked to see more casual looks on the blog so I’m just here to please.  I present to you, le casual glam via River Island Plus!  😂

I will always and forever be a maxamist because more is more.  

However, there is something really quite beautiful for in a look that is minimal or low-key.

This look from River Island features two staples that all of need in our wardrobes in the winter.

A Bardot Inspired Knit Sweater with over the knee boots give an effortlessly sultry and demure way to keep warm and stylish.

Styling sweaters can become a little drab over the winter months.

When the weather gets colder I find it harder to style because honestly the most important thing on my mind is staying warm and comfortable.

This look from River Island is able to achieve both and is super practical and because it’s so simple it can easily be dressed up or down.

Real talk: this is what I’m probably wearing 99% of the time.  I’m either glammed up or dressed down.  There is no in between.

Thanks to my latest finds from River Island, leggings and a comfy hoodie get a little upgrade with this adult chic version of my favorite homebody outfit.

Comfort is key and my cozy knitted hoodie is that an more.  It’s such a nice quality material.

Okay!  I absolutely love this dress from River Island.

I immediately was attracted to the dark floral print and the sweet layered ruffles.  It’s such a darling style and will be perfect for Fall.

I totally get Downton Abbey vibes with the cut and style of the dress, don’t you?  I kept the old world inspired feels going by adding diamond dot tights and vintage inspired block heels.

Speaking of Downton Abbey, have you heard that they are bringing the story to the big screen?!

Can you believe we have just a couple of weeks left of summer?!  I still can’t believe I’m going to have to start considering what to include in my Fall season wardrobe.  I don’t want to break the bank so having a couple staple pieces can give some longevigty to my summer wardrobe.

Adding this River Island classic double breasted blazer can give any look a more polished and sophisticated feel.  Adding it over a t-shirt and jeans or a fit-and-flare dress are obvious choices but I even tried it with a beach dress to see if it would work.

If you’re going to wear the color red go big or go home.  Wear it from head to toe and cause a stir.

The color red is known to be a color of passion, power and strength and it so happens to be one of my favorite colors to wear in a monochrome look.

There’s just something about an all red outfit that stands out from the crowd whether it’s a power suit or a dress.

It’s really Spring Y’all!

And in celebration of the sun being out and the weather being gorgeous let’s bare some shoulders in flirty tops as we sip chic drinks on rooftop bars all season long.

When the weather finally catches up with your wardrobe it’s magical!

Snap off those tags to all those Spring tops you’ve been waiting wear because it’s cold shoulder season!

I love exposing sun-kissed bare shoulders.

I’m a true believer that life is better in shades of pink but ruffles don’t hurt either.  

So you can understand that I naturally gravitate to my signature color in any space whether I’m walking down makeup aisles, shopping online or in the Dollar Corner at Target.  I try and see life through rose colored glasses because … why not?

Wedding season is upon us and as I start planning my guest attire looks it’s a no brainer that I’d like to incorporate pink if I can but to find this one with a gorgeous ruffled neckline from River Island was a bonus!

Who would have thought that rompers, which were once kindergarten sandbox attire would become a must have piece for adult women (and some bold men) for Spring and Summer everywhere?!  

Well they are and even though you have to basically get naked in order to use the bathroom while wearing one I’m digging this one from River Island.

As a curvy lady I tend to stay clear of shorts because no matter how hard I try they tend to ride up in the front and give you that weird frontal wedgie (never a good look).

It’s that time of year again: festival season.  Yay?!  Oh, and that was sarcasm.  I personally loathe the fashion trends that seem to recycle every festival season because not only is it boring and blazé but most of the time cultural appropriation rears it’s ugly head in the attempt to look festival chic.

Each year we read the same articles about how ridiculous and outrageous it is for people to be so unaware of the their lack of knowledge when it comes to cultural appropriation.

Spring is on my mind and incorporating flowers in unexpected ways is a fun style challenge I like to take on.  

There’s nothing groundbreaking with wearing florals for Spring (*insert The Devil Wears Prada Miranda priestly gif).

Trying to reinvent a classic is what’s going to take your floral frock up a notch.

Try incorporating a floral print in unexpected way like a handbag, scarf or shoes.
