Keeping up with new and trendy styles is my job.  Well not really. It’s a very deep passion of mine but let’s get real.  It can be an expensive habit.  Thanks to Gwynnie Bee I’m able to get the best of both worlds without breaking the bank.

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.

One trend that is making a big splash this summer is off-the-shoulder tops and dresses.  I love seeing the modest amount of bare skin with a beautiful ruffled neckline but it’s been tough trying to find the right one that works for my body type.  

I don’t really like to show off my shoulders because I have indentations on them from bra straps being well endowed in the chest area.

Nevertheless, I was determined to find a happy medium where I could wear the trend and still be comfortable in my own skin.

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.

So Summer in Florida means hot days, afternoon storms, and humidity all the time.  So getting dressed can pose a dilemma because you typically have to choose between comfort and style.  

But this gingham print dress from Leota New York is perfect because it’s super cute and classic with it’s wrap design and the stretchy light fabric is beyond comfortable and will keep you cool and chic during those hot summer nights.

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!

You all know that there isn’t a polka dotted printed anything that I can pass up.  I buy notebooks, napkins, scarves, plates, luggage all with the forever classically cute spotted print and this dress was no exception.

The additional touches of the shirred shoulder details and flirty V-neck and a feminine and fun to great transitional piece for Spring.
