Spring???

Well, spring came and went here in the north east!  On the first day of spring, we were hit with a beautiful preview, but saddly the rain and damp weather has returned and so has my boots and other cold weather saviors.  Just a easy throw on, leggings, tunic and boots!  Throw it on and I'm out the door for another day of school!  How's the weather where you live?  Do you get to whip out your spring gear?   Peace, have a good rest of the week!

Emracing my Fatness and Creativeness

Being a creative person, I have many outlets to let my artistic expressions flow. Blogging is one of those outlets and an intimate vehicle. With pictures of yourself and insightful opinions my followers not only get a dose of inspiration but a hint of my personality and what I hold near and dear. I’m into music but I always knew that fashion was also up there on my high interest level. Maybe because my size was such a big obstacle by itself, made clothes and the hunt and find all the more thrilling due to the limited options made available growing up. After a bad break-up and a tearing down of my walls only to build myself back-up, I have in the recent years taken chances on looks and shapes that before in my life were scary wishes. Now big girls have such a strong variety offered to them that our individuality and self-confidence is breaking through, from their outer appearance. What was usually hidden under baggy jeans and over sized shirts or dresses that are a little to “mature” for our taste. (Let’s face it, “I’m too youthful to wear a moo-moo) that’s when I had to look into the mirror to finally Embrace my fatness and inspire a thicker culture. And for me instead of being envious of other women and owning up to the idea that we are all to caddy to get a long, now I give compliments and ask where they purchased their cute pieces. I love women sticking out for the right reasons and not the wrong ones. Although, I have a long way to go my style is evolving along with me to constantly challenge myself and try new things. Now my clothing collection has become another artistic endeavor right along with my poetry, songs, music, or acting. Blogging can be a form of being on stage so I wanna take my bow to symbolically thank you for listening, staying connected, and owning every curve. God Bless U! And Embrace all the quirking things that inevitably make you special!

O yea!  I love Old Navy's graphic tees!  Now they have different bands and stuff!  Here's my Duran Duran one!  Love it!

BOOTS!-Madden Girl by Steve Madden

These Steve Madden Boots are what I call "The Truth" a gift from my honey and I thank him every time I wear them.  I get complements everywhere and i want to tell everyone that they are so unbelievabley comfortable.  I walked around NYC all night in them and never once complained about my feet.  So I say all of this to say that I'm pretty sure I'm going to try and get them in black!

Plaid and Uggs!

Morning world!  I had this orange plaid shirt from Ashley Stewart for a while now, but I wasn't ever sure how I was going to style it!  The idea for the outfit kinda just came to me out of no where when I was in a rush a few days ago and had to attend a little get together!  Its ridicuously cold in NJ and that means the snow isn't melting at all so i definitely knew i was going to wear some boots, which probably meant my uggs!  My mom absolutely hates Uggs!!!  They keep your feet so warm, I love them.   I went through like 2 other options when I started mixing and matching items to get this good look.  The belt came off of a BabyPhat jumper that I haven't worn yet!  I originally had it on with the first look I was going for!  I kept it on and I really liked how it all came together.  The splash of lavender made the outfit a little more feminine or girly.  Which normally looks rather rugged.  Please let me know what you think?!?!

Hey everybody!  NJ got hit with a crazy snow storm a few days ago that is not melting any time soon and it seems like we will have another one on monday.  Driving in the snow stinks and all the black ice can be dangerous, but when it was coming down I enjoyed it.  Me, my boyfriend, and friend Tamera and her boyfriend were bored after being stuck in the house for almost 2days we all ventured out and took some great pics!  They are NOT fashionable what so ever!!!!  So I wanted to take sometime to thank all of you for following my blog.  I am up to 11 folowers and that means a lot to me cause I try to put as much in it as possible!  So thank U thank U!!!  Please keep coming back and pass it along to your friends!!!!!

Props 2 Lane Bryant

When Lane Bryant's Icon Collection came out I instantly fell in-love with this stylish coat.  I wasn't in-love with the price at the time.  When I finally came back to my local Lane Bryant it was gone and I didn't hunt it down like i usually do.  I hardly ever shop at Lane Bryant, maybe 4 to 5 times a year, but usually its for bras and panties and I am lucky if I find anything else I really love.  So when Lane Bryant was having a big bra sale recently of course I was invited.  (Via Coupons)  When I stepped foot into the store I immediately saw the coat I have been jonesing for since Fall.  And here it is....!  I paired it with some Grey Leggings I had in my closet, I think from Walmart, a old shirt/dress/tunic that I had from Old Navy, my lovely flat wide calf boots from Torrid, and my new purse from Ross!  I know its purple but recently I heard someone say find a purse that doesn't go with anything and wear it with everything!  I like that philosophy!   ( O yeah!  I got my camera working again...YES! )
