Ruffles Are Trending

October 10, 2017 · Leave a Comment

One of the hottest trends on the fashion scene currently is undoubtedly ruffles. You’ve probably been seeing it popping up all over the Instagram feeds and fashion blogs. Ruffles have literally taken over the this season and show no signs of stopping. Ruffles have been seen decorating necklines, skirts, blouses and even jackets. So there’s pretty much something for everyone, no matter what style you have.

I like many other girls have really been loving the ruffle trend but I wanted to do it the right way. I wanted to make sure if I was going to wear the trend my ruffles weren’t too overpowering. Nothing is worse than wearing something that overpowers the rest of your body and makes you look lost in the clothing especially being petite and plus size. When I came across the gingham ruffle top from A’GACI , I knew it was the perfect top for me and my body frame. The three-tier ruffles and cinched waist bow was just what I needed. I really loved the ruffle detail on the shirt, because I didn’t need any added accessories or have to do much to complete my look. In my opinion, ruffles give enough vavoom to an outfit where keeping it simple is best. I paired my top with black high waist pants from A’GACI which featured slits at the knees. It’s always funny when I wear knee slits, because well since your girl is short they never hit me where they should lol (but that has never stopped me from still wearing the trend). I think adding the knee slit pants to my ruffle top gave the outfit a casual but fun look. I added my slip-on mules which has also been a huge trend on the fashion scene and was ready to take on whatever came my way.

I think everyone should partake in the ruffle trend because there are so many different ways to style it. You can dress it up for a day at the office, or down for running errands. So next time while out shopping and you come across something with ruffles give it a try. Just remember to find the right ruffle look that suits you, then you’ll be ready to slay one of the hottest fashion trends this season. As always thanks for stopping by and owl talk to you later.

Curvy Con Recap

September 11, 2017 · Leave a Comment

Hey everyone this past weekend I attended Curvy Con in NY and wanted to give you a little recap of why I loved the two-day event. Life has been a little hectic on my end so this break was exactly what I needed.

This was my first Year attending Curvy Con on behalf of the wonderful people at Society+. Now I know some of you guys are reading like what the heck is a Curvy Con. Curvy Con is a two-day event created by Plus size Bloggers Chastity Garner of Garnerstyle and CeCe Olisa of Cece Olisa. The two-day event brings plus size brands, fashionistas, bloggers and more into one space to chat, shop and embrace being curvy.

On Friday morning I arrived for the first day of Curvy Con. We kick started the day with well-known trainer and Instagram fitness star Massy Arais. Massy lead us in a great early morning workout while dropping gems of knowledge. After the morning workout, we got to indulge in a fresh fruit juice bar and rest up for the activities the night had in store. Later in the afternoon, I threw on my outfit styled by Society+ and attended the fashion show sponsored by Dia & Co showing off the latest styles to be released . The styles on the runway were absolutely amazing, I can’t wait to buy a few items. What I loved most about the fashion show was the diversity in the models used to represent the brand.

The second day was when the fun really happened. It was a day full of panels and celebrity guest speaking on different topics. One of my favs was the “Girl Boss” panel. For me it’s so inspiring hearing how other women took an idea, and made it into something great. I truly believe everyone should go after goals they want to achive. I loved the fact I had a chance to meet and greet some of my fav designers and store exces all under one roof. After hearing the panels it was time to hit up the shopping mall to mix, mingle network and shop. Many brands had discounts exclusively for attendees and offered items only being sold at the event. I told myself no shopping but Ashley Stewart and Romans had some pretty great deals, I just couldn’t pass up a bargain.

Last but not least they ended the event by giving all those who purchased platinum or teal tickets a cute giant swag bag full of goodies. Hunny let me tell you the amount of goodies given was BOMB.com. My bag was full of stuff such as as jeans, t-shirts, gift cards,portable charge and coupons. Also through out the event there was plenty of raffles and tons of free items. I literally had no room to put all my stuff going back home lol. The night ended with the Curvy Con after party which was full of laughs, memories, and lots of dancing.

I had such a a great weekend attending this event . I literally can’t wait to attend next year’s Curvy Con. If you missed this year make sure to buy tickets for next years event because they SELL OUT FAST. Thanks to Society+ for dressing me and sending me to this awesome event. Hope you all enjoyed and Owl talk to ya soon.

Spring Florals

June 7, 2017 · Leave a Comment

Where is summer? (Crying Emoji) Well technically it’s still springtime but even that has barely shown its face around my city lately. I’m so ready for the warmer weather filled with summer fashion sundresses,flip-flops and swimwear.

Therefore with the weather not being the greatest it has kind of put a damper on my mood. I haven’t exactly put much effort into getting dressed lately. So to offset my blah mood, I decided to add some color to my pretty basic wardrobe. Now I’m not usually one for lots of color but since it is spring why not right ? floral print is really trendy this season so I figured I partake and purchase a few floral items. While surfing the interweb, a cute floral scuba skirt spoke to me the moment I laid eyes upon it on the CurvySense website. CurvySense is an online fashion retailer that caters to women size 0x-4x. I love how that they offer clothing for any occasion such as swimwear for a day at the beach or a LBD (Little Black Dress) for girls night. No matter what your needs are it seems like CurvySense always has you covered.

Lets get into the outfit details. I decided to wear a simple plain white crop top to make sure my skirt was the main focus. The skirt was a perfect match for my body type being A-line cut. I love how the A-line style makes my legs appear longer, and cinches at my waist. I put on some cute little pink Mary Jane heels to really make the colors pop. After getting dressed and putting on such a fun vibrant outfit it really did lift my spirits.

I can’t wait to see what other ways I can style my floral skirt for the up coming months. I just hope some warmer weather is coming soon. Is anyone else having a pretty chilly spring? Also what do you all think of the floral trend is it drab or fab? let me know in the comments below. As always thanks for stopping by and Owl see ya Later.
