Two weekends ago I visited my friends in West Palm Beach for a quick getaway.  So Flo stays hot and the trick about style and dress in these parts is too look like you’re on a permanent vacation.  Done and done.

Initially I’ve stayed away from the bare shoulder trend because I loath wearing a strapless bra but I’ve fallen in love with it’s relaxed, effortless feminine charm.

I’ve opted to wear a strapless bra with this number but you can also wear a regular bra with straps and just tuck the straps down so you don’t see them.

Do you think I went a little overboard with the lemon theme in this look?

Yeah.  Me neither.

Honestly, how could you not want all the lemons in the lemon universe in one outfit?!

I first saw my friend the dress version of this lemon print and I immediately went to buy it for myself but unfortunately it was sold out online and in-store.

They only had the skirt available online and I quickly added it to my shopping cart and waited the torturous 3-5 business days until it arrived for it to only hang lonely in my closet.

I’m an old vintage soul.  As much as I love the benefits that comes along with the modern technology of the 21st century, I will never stop loving how people took their time to do something right in the past.  

Simple things like handwritten letters or the fact that men and women wore dresses, gloves and suits during the day just because!  

Give me the days of drive-in movie theater dates and when courtship meant wearing your beau’s letter-man jacket and pin.

New York — The city that never sleeps and the city that I always get lost in.  Metaphorically and literally.

As much as I love this city I can never seem to get a handle on it.  No matter how many times I go I always feel like I’m upside down and get lost on the subway and spend a ridiculous amount of money on ubers and taxis trying to get home.

Attention all brides to be!!!  ModCloth is going to be your go-to e-retailer for dressing all the darling damsels in your wedding party.

I’ve been an MOH and a bridesmaid a few times to know what it really takes to style a stellar wedding party.

Some might think what’s the big deal.  You wear a dress (one, that you will probably never, ever wear again), carry a bouquet and manage to walk down the aisle without falling flat on your face (think of the runway fiasco Carrie Bradshaw found herself in on SATC Season 4!)

But believe me, there is so much more to it than that.

The most frustrating thing about being fashionable and plus size is the lack of trendy beautiful designs that are created with my body in mind.  So many times I often sigh in disappointment hoping and wishing more companies would make their pretty clothes in plus. Will it sell? No doubt, but some companies are afraid to take the risk to create designs with fabric and detail for larger bodies.  

That is why I love love love Eloquii!
