What I love most is that, they definitely keep up with the trends are. And being on a college graduate budget, they are right up my alley. The shipping is reasonable. Their website is user friendly, I can't tell you how much it annoys the hell out of me to be on a website and it's slow or to much goes on before I get to my ultimate destination. I am definitely becoming more and more a loyal customer. And they truly care about their customers. I follow them on facebook and there is a lot of interaction and for me that makes me more wanting to shop with them. Anytime anyone asks me where to get cute things from, they are definitely on my list.

You should definitely check them out and see what they're about.

Find them on
Facebook and their website

With the hectic weekend I had, I totally overlooked the fact that March 25rd marked one full year of the blog YAAAAAAYY! It has been one awesome year. And such a blessing to me. You as my followers have been so awesome and super supportive of pretty much everything I do. It's crazy how God really works in our lives. I started my blog randomly in my dorm room, finding any and every reason to not do my homework. But here I am a year later and this is my passion. It's what I live to do. I spend a good portion of my day on my blog or blog surfing. And now social media is all I know.
But I wouldn't change my choice to blog for anything in the world.

Because of you, my followers I have become a better woman, a better blogger, and better all around person. I have gained so much confidence in what I do, in what I wear, and how I view my body. And that is so important in today's world. Many of you inspire me so that I can go forth and inspire others.



Going forward...
The blog will become a dot com starting in April
-after really working so hard on the blog I would like a little bit more independence. and the best way to do that would be to drop the 'blogspot'.
I will make a point to post more about things and designers in the plus size industry
- as a part of my blogging new years resolution, I did say i wanted to post about more relevant content besides just my outfits and the outfits of my followers.
Be more interactive with you all
-I love you guys, really I do and I need to do a better job of showing it.
Be more selective of my submission content
- I know this one may be a little harsh. But I have to set my standards. My blog is about fashion, and let's be honest, you don't respond to outfits that aren't amazing. And I believe in giving you all the best!

Suggestions....
You know I value your opinions, so if you have anything

You know when they say life gives you lemons, make lemonade?!?! yea I'm sure you know. Well this pass weekend was a perfect example. My friends and I were heading up to Boston to go a fashion show that one of my followers had invited me to. We were geeked, we had our outfits planned out, right down to our make-up. But sadly half through out bus ride we found out that the fashion show was canceled....soooo now what? Needless to say we were rather bumed out. But hell we figured, still get dressed up any way, take pictures and go out to dinner. And hell we had our own little fashion show in the hallway of our hotel.
It was the best. To see all our outfits and how different we really are, but the bond that we share is that we love fashion, so it totally works for us!
I wore and a knee length body con dress with an Aztec print from Asos (their straight size line #win) my mint green pumps and my yellow clutch from Fashion to Figure. Make-up, hair and jewelry was kept simple because you know me...my outfit should always be the main statement!

I got the idea from Gabi's outfit, which you can see here!

I'm definitely feeling some kinda way because I wore this outfit on Friday, and I'm just now able to post about. I had quite the weekend, which I'll get into in my next post. But it was absolutely beautiful up here on Friday. And I was excited because I was finally able to wear the wrap dress that I got from Old Navy. I paired it with my leopard print wedge booties for a little extra pop. I felt super sexy. And apparently a lot of men thought so too. The amount of attention I got in this dress was WAAAAAAY  more than I was use to. But hey what can I say...everybody ain't able lol

But what I love about this dress, is that it's comfortable and flattering. (as is most wrap dresses) This is the second wrap dress I won. The other one was black that I got from NY & Co. back when I was in high school. I wore that thing to death. And when I saw this dress, I knew right a way that I had to have it.  I pulled my hair in to this really great messy yet some-what polished bun with my very simple and familiar jewelry and It was the perfect outfit for a nice day at the office.

Outfit details
Dress- Old Navy
Wedges- Just Fabulous
Jewelry-Goodwill, Forever 21 & Wetseal










Hope you had a good weekend and a great week!

Good morning ladies! I know I haven't done and outfit post in quite a while. This new job doesn't really leave me much room to take pictures. Even today, I had to use the camera on my phone. But we're making it work! I'm so in love with the simplicity of this outfit that I just knew there was no way I couldn't write about. But any who, it's suppose to be in the 80's today and I sincerely hoping so. But I really wanted to feel like spring, so I finally pulled out my midi skirt I got for Old Navy, you can check out my post about old navy here!

To be honest I was little afraid of the hem line. I didn't think I would like it on me. the midi skirt isn't for everyone....but it works for me. And I mean hey, anything with pockets just makes me happy. I kept my shirt simple, because I wanted it to be all about my skirt. I think I accomplished that, don't you? I paired them with my black lace up wedges. and I find it so funny because when I was younger, I use to laugh at my mom for packing her real shoes in her bag and putting on them on when she got to work. And now I do the EXACT same thing. I commute to the city every morning, like most people who live near NY do. And some outfits (like this one) require heels, but I'll be damned if I wear my good shoes with all the walking I do in the morning lol and plus I there's only so much walking that can be done in these shoes lol

welp so there you have it!

Outfit Details:
Top- Gift from my mom
Skirt- Old Navy
Wedges- Ebay
Jewelry- Dots & Forever21

I have been wanting to do this post for theeeeeee longest. One of my co-workers at my job, always comes to work fly. I mean i get jealous. I swear if she had her own fashion blog I would basically stalk it everyday (yup i said it lol) I #lowkey always want to raid her closet. But any way, when I saw her come in the office today, I just knew I had to put her on the blog. So ladies please say hello to Ms. Simone Williams! *round of applause*
This is what she wore to work today, and I have to say her wardrobe is just as fabulous as her personality. This whole outfit gives me life. You all know I love a pop of color with print! #win. And you know what makes this outfit all the more better, she wears it with confidence, and I can definitely rock with that!
You can't tell me she isn't fabulous?!

I've always taken a liking to Dorothy Perkins as brand, but never really perused their site much. and I'm mad i haven't done so. being bored so early at work, I started looking at their dresses and needless to say i want them all. Being that I now work in a very fashionable environment, it is imperative for me to step my game ALL THE WAY up. lol The girls in my office, in my opinion always look effortlessly put together. I am determined to always look my best.

So here are a few pieces I'm loving right now







So what do you guys think. I have to put Dorothy Perkins on my radar ASAP. To see more dresses click here

HAPPY FRIDAY FOLKS! I love when I'm cruising my favorite blogs and I come across a tag post, that just so happen to be tagged in.  IDK I get all extra giddy lol So Tereza of Drastic Plastic has tagged in this '11 Things' post (thanks a million love), and I'm quite #geeked so her we go

Rules:
-answer all 11 questions
-come up with 11 new questions
-tag 11 bloggers

So when I saw the project post I just knew I had to be a part of it. It's funny because immediately the first photo I though of was the 1st picture below! I was a typical little girl with the puffy dresses and the patent leather shoes (in black & white) that I wore with my white socks with the lace trim. I am pretty sure you all know what I'm talking about lol. I like to think I get my love of fashion from my mom. even though we went through the typical "mother/daughter don't agree on clothing phase" but now when I shop, you all as my followers are first in my thought process, but also creating multiple outfits for myself. my mother always did that with me when I was younger. It was about having those dresses that can go from Church to some dinner outing we went to. So as you can see fashion is what I do lol

So there you have it, my little trip down memory lane.

Btw my tumblr has made its one year mark! yyyaaaayyy

yes you read that title correctly! This is in fact a thrifting orgasm. On Saturday I had some free time on my hands so i decided to go out. I originally intended to go to target, but I knew there was a Goodwill not to far from target so I was like what the hell I'll go. 10 minutes into Goodwill it was like magic. I just kept finding things. I was beyond giddy lol. Every time I found something I would get this huge grin on my face, and starting thinking about all the outfits I could come up with from each item. (you know i only think of you all when i shop) After awhile I had to stop myself because I had so many things, it was amazing. ok so enough about me talking lets see what I got shall we...

 These earrings! I just had to have. they were too fierce to pass up. It's so retro, just perfect!
