Beyond by Ashley Graham For DressBarn

March 29, 2017 · 1 Comment

Spring is officially here and I can’t wait for fresh cool air and pretty little flowers to bloom. Spring happens to be my second favorite season because it’s a reminder that my birthday is around the corner. Also, it’s that time of year people start putting away the winter sweaters and pulling out all the cute floral and pastel dresses. Sadly, for me living in New England; Miss. Spring sometimes likes to show her face a little later in the season. Despite the bit of cold air that’s still lingering around I have not let it stop me from enjoying Spring fashion.

Today on the blog I wanted to tell you about a new collection that has some cute stylish pieces for the nice weather ahead. The lovely plus model Ashley Graham created a capsule collection sold exclusively at Dress Barn called “Beyond By Ashley Graham”. The Beyond collection is available in sizes 4-24w and retails between $48 -$66. Ashley’s collection for Dress Barn reflects her mantra which is — ‘beauty is beyond size”. I love that the collection is available to all women and not just a certain size range so all body shapes can enjoy.

The dress I’m wearing is called the Floral Cold Shoulder Dress ( I guess exposed shoulders has been my thing lately). I adore how this dress has so much versatility when it comes to styling. I’m totally for an outfit that has multiple uses and this dress does just that. For a daytime look, you can dress it down it with sneakers for a casual feel to run errands. Then if you want to transition into a night on the town add some cute heels and out the door, you go. I paired mine with some black heels this day, but I’m sure I’ll be styling it with some sandals or some kind of sneaker. I say if you’re in search of something cute and springy then make sure to check out The Beyond By Ashley collection exclusively at DressBarn.

My New Favorite Plus Size Jeans

March 15, 2017 · 1 Comment

Hi guys it’s been almost a month since I put a post up. The weather in New England has been so cold and snowy it sometimes can put your life on pause. Nonetheless, I’m back and Spring time is just around the corner. That is if Mr. Winter decides to leave (major eye roll). So I have news for you about a new store that has taken over the Internet. If you have Instagram then you should already know who I’m referencing, that’s right its FASHION NOVA!!!!
Fashion Nova is the store you hear everyone talking about how great their jeans fit. Well, I had to go check it out for myself to see if the hype was real. Fashion Nova recently released a Curve line for their Plus size customers to be able to shop cute trendy pieces just like the straight size line. Seeing that I’m a lover of all things denim I had to give a pair a try. I tried the Glistening Jeans in Black in a 1x which I really liked. The jeans are super soft and comfy and have AMAZING STRETCH made from a lycra material. I will say they do run small because I believe it’s based off Jr. Plus Sizing. Now that I own a pair I can see why folks are going crazy over them. The high waist jeans make your legs look longer and project a curvier appearance. I paired mines with a sheer shirt and black bralette to give my outfit just enough sexy. Lastly, I topped it off with my brand new jacket from City Trends that yells “GIRL POWER”.

Jacket: Cititrends ( Sold out online sorry)

Jeans: Fashion Nova Glistening Jeans 1x

Shirt: Fashion To Figure

Bralette: Store in mall (similar here)

Shoes: Local store in mall (similar here )

If you’re looking for some cute jeans in different colors and styles then Fashion Nova is your one stop shop. Just make sure to read the sizing and go off their size chart to be sure you get the right fit. Also when checking out use my code XOVANA for a 15% discount at checkout, but move fast because the jeans sell out pretty fast. Hope you guys enjoyed this post and stay tuned I will be doing a “try on haul” of more Fashion Nova items and how other pieces from the site fit and look.

Until next time thanks for always stopping by!!

Love
