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.

Gwynnie Bee is unlike any fashion subscription because it’s tailored for women sizes 10-32.  You have the ability to pick the right subscription package that’s right for you and your budget.

Remember last year when Solange Knowles broke the internet with her nuptials in NOLA?!  Everyone went a little cray, including me.  I’ve been wanting to recreate her stunning wedding look and I found the perfect dress for under $35!

I think Solange is probably one the most fashionable people on the planet.

Was that way too bold of me to say?

Well, tough.  It’s the truth.  She is bold, colorful, daring, fun, eclectic, feminine.

Don’t wait till Spring to sport pretty soft pastels!   They give a dreary winter wardrobe the perfect pretty pick me up!

Back in middle school I was obsessed with baby blue.  I think I wore it for the general part of 7th grade.

It was the 90’s and Michael Jordan had just done Space Jam and he was everywhere!  But instead of gravitating to Chicago Bull Red I connected with his Alma Mater color of North Carolina Blue.

So a few months ago the fashion high-low world went bonkers when major Paris fashion house Balmain released a limited collection at H&M.  It wasn’t surprising that it didn’t include plus sizes.  Not surprising but it’s still bothersome to not have the opportunity to cloth myself in rope inspired, emerald and sapphire blinged out attire.

I digress.

One of the items that I would have loved to have gotten from the collection was a fierce ivory double breasted blazer with big gold buttons.

Pretty pink polka dots.  Say that five times fast!

Now in reality I know most of the United States may be having what is called Autumn or Winter-like weather but here in Florida it’s still very much Summer.

Case in point, this adorable sleeveless polka dot number I’m wearing in the middle of December.  I know it’s unlikely for many of you to pull off this look but if you’re having a palm tree winter like me El Nino is totally making resort wear in December a thing.

The strenuous search in finding quality and stylish boots for those of us that are on Team Thick Thighs has been a long time struggle.  But not anymore!Lane Bryant keeps winning by giving us what we love and lack — OPTIONS.  

Knee high?  They got you.

Ankle booties?  Yup!

Over the knee? No problem!

I’m showing off my new OTK boots in an oldie but goodie pleated leather mini and LB knits.

I’m a big fan of sparkling in sequins during the day.  I hate the idea of being limited to wearing the festive fabric only for special occasions or the season.  Sparkling is appropriate all year long as far as I’m concerned and I’m sure I’ll get plenty of wear out of this sequined midi skirt from Lane Bryant. 

I kept the focus on the glam with all my sequins, baubles and things by wearing a neutral cream turtleneck sweater also from Lane Bryant.

Cute and comfy: that’s the goal for my Saturdays and Sundays and I’ve mastered my weekender uniform with some essentials from Charlotte Russe.

Weekends are made to relax and take it easy so I try to incorporate that in my weekend wardrobe.  I try to go for laid back and easy going without looking too relaxed.  I still want to look put together.   There’s a big difference between casual and Netflix casual if you catch my drift.

The new arrivals at Lane Bryant have so much to offer this season no matter what your go-to look is.  You are bound to find something for your every mood.  From sweet to glam, edgy to feminine, you will find something that is perfect for you.  

Speaking of perfect; isn’t this golden bodycon just a dream?  I love the detailed neckline and the rich golden tone that’s perfect for Fall.  I’m wearing a size 20 and it has lots of stretch.

It’s important for me to share and support the efforts and designs of up and coming creatives especially when they support the plus size fashion industry.   Kaela Kay is just one of the many designers producing high quality garments for you and I, the plus sized fashionista. 

In order to be considered truly equal to mainstream fashion designs and productions, money has to be spent.

That’s the cold hard truth.

Is it hard to believe that I’m a girl in love with pink and pretty blooms?

Nah.  I didn’t think so.  

A pretty pink and black color palette is all you need for a sweet femme look perfect for Fall.

This look came together pretty organically, which for me means over time and random.

I forget what I have in my closet sometimes (as many fashion girls do) and didn’t realize I had all the pretty pieces to a perfectly pink outfit  in my possession till I shopped my closet over the weekend.

For as long as I can remember James Bond has been one of my favorite fictional characters.  What’s not to love?  You have that accent.  Check.  The style.  Check.  The cool cars.  Check.  The swag.  Check check!  

But just as cool and important as James Bond is too the entire Bond series the Bond Girl is just as vital.

She’s always dressed to kill and fiercely beautiful with the wits to keep up with the ever so clever Bond.
