Honey's Child in the A!

When I first found out that Honey’s Child Boutique was going to Atlanta to rip the runway, I knew that the plus size fashion world was about to be shut down! Let me first say, the Phat Girl Fresh Lifestyled movement is such a rewarding, inspiring, and LIT experience. So mixing the vibes of the event with the fashion and styling of Letitia “The Motha” Young you already know that there was all kind of slayage going on! I mean, I’m still hype from the show! It was just an awesome time, a night to remember. And the MODELS, honey they killed! Let’s take a look!

Disclaimer: I have never questioned my IPhone until this show. The lighting and my phone just did not get along. This is the first time I thought that I should have an android… never mind. I’m still sticking with my IPhone! But with that being said bear with me and don’t judge! Lol!

Let Me Tell You About My Best Friends! Pt.2

So after spending some time with my friend SR (Sales Rack) he had me feeling good, looking good, and he saved me tons of money! I just wish I had met him sooner, but now our bond is unbreakable! He’s always there for me in my bad days and when I need some therapy he is always willing to help. One day I went to visit SR and to my surprise I didn’t find anything. I have to admit I was pretty disappointed. I guess he saw it in my eyes, so he whispered in my ear:
"Thrifting"

“Thrifting you say? But isn't that old clothes worn by other people?” 

He tells me, “Yes, however you can find some really cute things to help build your wardrobe. Styles are coming back, and thrifting is a cheap way to keep up with the trends.”

Then he told me the 2 biggest secrets of all! 

“They have sales too, and Target sends unworn clothes and shoes to the Goodwill!"

"Whaatttt!! Shut up! I have to meet him!!"

 And this happened...

Dress: Goodwill (by way of Target)

Fashion to Figure Giveaway/ Vegas Trip

So recently I took a trip to Las Vegas for my best friend's wedding, let me just say I had THEE best time! When out in Vegas I had the pleasure of showing off my new items that I received from a $150 giveaway sponsored by NYC Style blogger On The Q Train and  Fashion to Figure. I must say I am in love with all of the pieces. They definitely made me feel comfortable, chic, and sexy. They added so much flair to my wardrobe!

The Aztec Cardigan was so soft and warm. It was perfect for Las Vegas weather at this time of year. 50 degrees and no coat needed! 

 

Next up was the Gold Cut Out Glitter Clutch. It made every outfit pop! The details on the clutch was so unique. I must say this now is my favorite clutch! The fact I can wear it as a cross body too! Two thumbs up from me! 

Lastly, let's talk about the Geo Print Jumpsuit! You couldn't tell me anything in this here outfit! When I say jumpsuits are scary for me, this one fit perfect. I love the funkiness of it but yet it looked classy and chic. 

Thank you Fashion to Figure and On The Q Train!! ❤️❤️

Feature of the Week: Score Slim Over-The-Knee Boots (Leopard)

 

So maybe 2 weeks ago my boredom had struck it's core and although I was trying to refrain from logging onto any online stores, I COULD NOT take any longer! With the intentions of only doing a little online window shopping (I'm on a budget remember lol), I saw these boots and decided it will be peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for the rest of the week. I just had to have them! What first intrigued me was the leopard print (of course) and the fact that they were over the knee boots. The plus was this is an everyday boot, no heel! Score! And to top it off they were $30! I didn't even think twice about it, they were mine! 

The elasticized panel on the back and chunky heel make them soooo comfortable! 

I just love them! Don't you?

Wardrobe Revamp

 

So a little background about myself! I am on a STRICT BUDGET! In the beginning of 2013 I found myself without a job. Although I was worried about not being able to pay my bills, I was more distraught when I realized that I couldn’t go shopping every other week just because! (Yes, it’s that important to me). With my mood changes and weight fluctuating due to the stress of being unemployed, it became depressing to get dressed to go out and have fun. After wallowing in self- pity for a while, I eventually got a grip on life. I realized that having a lot of money is not the determining factor to my happiness or even to creating a great outfit. So had to “revamp” my perception on what style really was.  It’s not about buying new outfits for every occasion, it became clear to me it was all about my creativity. So I tore my closet up! I found things I forgot I had, rearranged it, got rid of things and started back to the basics. I started finding that this shirt went with those pants.  And oh! I could wear these shoes instead of those! Add a scarf, a hat, or a chunky necklace, and BAM a new original outfit!! I call it wardrobe revamping!

Above is an outfit that was revamped by me the only thing added was the kimono and socks which was all together $20.
