Svelte Review!

A little while ago I was sent some Svelte Skinny Jeans and fell in love! Initially I had been debating on trying out the jeans or leggings and after much debate, opted to go for the jeans (I have a million skin tight leggings, very few jeans that can do the same). Based off their size chart and being told to size down, I thought I went with the best possible size but I actually think I could have sized down two sizes! Regardless, I loved the fit of the jeans, normally compression anything is fairly uncomfortable but these ones were actually totally okay, I was able to go out and about with my day without any discomfort (which usually doesn't happen when i'm wearing compression anything). My only complaint with the denim was the legs, disclaimer, I already find it hella difficult for me to find jeans that are super tight all the way, I was hopeful this wouldn't be the case with Svelte but sadly, they were still too loose and a little long for me. I ended up cuffing them twice and was content that although not skin tight, they we're just about right! Overall, I'd give Svelte a 8/10, if they could get the jeans fit down pact I'd definitely live in these all year round.

I am not Sorry

I've been MIA .... again! I'd say sorry but I am not Sorry! I've had a lot on my plate, the past 12 months have been a whirlwind of different things and I let this part of my life slip, I intended on posting this 5 months ago but, every time I tried to start I was instantly overwhelmed thinking about how I was to explain myself and the reality is, I don't need to.

I've been busy, overall my life has had a drastic change over this past year and I really don't owe anyone anything. Fuck an apology, I am not Sorry. side note: I still love you all and I appreciate ya'll hanging in with me💖. I'm excited for the upcoming ideas and projects I'm working on aaand if I disappear here and there, rest assured, I will be back.

queen of hearts

 Sorry for my late Valentine's Day look but, I'm the Queen of Hearts any day/every day anyways (just kidding) but, I do love anything with hearts on it and that's how it ended up being kind of hard for me to decide what to wear this Valentine's Day. I ended up choosing my burgundy coat from Junarose (which is now 30% off!) paired with a burgundy bralette, disco pants, black boots and my fave heart choker! Maybe next year I'll be super extra and try to do something crazy like 14 days of Valentine's Day looks, wouldn't that be fun?~*~

m a r b l e

It's dress season!!! I seriously love a good dress (that's probably why I have two giant racks full of them) and was beyond stoked when Pink Clove sent me a few! I'm wearing the Cleo High Neck Jacquard Dress, I love the print, it looks a lot like marble to me and anything marble is always good! Since I was really loving the print, I decided not to add too much and just threw on my fave heels and a clutch and was on my way to a nice little dinner date. I'm thinking about styling the dress again with an obi belt and a statement necklace, what do you think? How would you style this dress?

Curvy Expo

I went to the first ever Curvy Expo last weekend! It was so great meeting so many lovely women, as well as seeing old friends! I especially loved the fashion show, the size diversity and energy was seriously fantastic!

Simply Be was kind enough to send me this look for the Curvy Expo. I fell in love with their super wide leg crop floral pants and cross front body and decided to pair it with my fave platforms (old, similar here), and my cut out bag (old, similar here and here). I thought the look was perfect, warm enough for the inevitable chill and rain that came throughout the day but, with just the right amount of ~*Spring Vibez*~!

i live in a hologram with you

Last weekend I wanted to wear my new peach shift dress from Yours Clothing, I'm obsessed with the floral cut out hem and wanted to wear it to dinner but the weather was being pretty awful (aka rainy and gross then super sunny and warm for 15 minutes and repeat). I didn't want to let that stop me so I pulled out my holographic raincoat, holographic heels (old, similar here), and my iridescent necklace! I was so happy with how it all came together, I love holographic/shiny/iridescent things and the adorable peach dress underneath made the colour soo pretty! I loved being in a ~*hologram*~!

NYDJ #FitToBe

I've always had a love-hate relationship with denim and when skinny jeans became a thing back when I was in 9th grade I was majorly bummed that I could not find a single pair that fit me properly thus, I opted to make my own using safety pins (I wish I could find a picture) and was properly punctured when they popped. I opted not to wear jeans from that point on until only maybe 4 years ago. Things have really changed since then and now I not only found those ~*dream skinny jeans*~ I've been yearning for but a vast variety of options!

I was thrilled when NYDJ reached out to see if I'd like to be a part of their #FitToBe campaign, where they reached out to 58 women to share their message. 58 is important since it represents NYDJ's number of sizes (across petite, tall and plus)! I'm #FitToBe Happy, especially in my comfy NYDJ denim! Fit To Be emphasizes that at any age or shape, their denim offers a fit that makes you feel beautiful, confident, radiant and sexy!
I can't say their wrong, I'm in love with these jeans! NYDJ is known for their slimming fit technology, they suggest sizing down but I actually think I could have went two sizes down. They're surprisingly super comfortable and have easily transferred to my rotations rack (I find them perfect for work).

Spring Vibes

With the weather finally (or at least mostly) warming up, I felt really inspired to dress more ~*Spring*~ and decided to find something that really showed how happy I was feeling with the weather shifting. I decided to bust out my yellow blouse, fruit rings and my new sunnies from GlassesShop, where they sell prescription eyeglasses, glasses, and prescription sunglasses!
I felt like the whole look was exactly what I was intending with channeling my inner Spring vibez*~
