Simply Be's Spring '14 Collection

8:29 PM Unknown 0 Comments

Simply Be had a Pampered Curves party for a few New York Plus Size Fashion Bloggers.  At this pamper party they previewed Simply Be's Spring 2014 collection.  I've gone though and collected some of the hottest looks for you.  Simply Be is one of the leaders in UK plus size fashion and are the next big thing here in the US.  They give curvy women the opportunity to look stylish and trendy in clothes that look great on them.  I'm excited for all their new looks! 
I'm in love with this black and white skirt. The mint green skirt very retro but not outdated looking.  

Simply Be shows this 2 piece ombré look can be worn tucked in or shirt out and still look fab.  


Clearly we know bodycon dresses aren't going anywhere and looking at this Simply Be's option I'm glad.  Omg! This side zip faux leather dress is so fashion foward can't wait to order mine. 


Simply Be has more than skirts and dresses.  This jumpsuit is one of my favorite looks along with this black and white swimsuit.  I'm a sucker for a fatkini.  

Simply B also showed their upcoming accessories. Of the two hands down the blue and cream one. Love love love it!  I encourge you to sign up for their magazine so you can keep up with all their lastest styles.  You know I'm all about the deals so here you go.  Make sure you use code "6013" to receive 30% off your purschase. If your our order totals $75 or more after all discounts you get free shipping also.

Hope this gets you ready for Spring and happy shopping!!

The body Shop is changing the packaging on it's foundation & has the ones in the old packaging for $5 (while supplies last).  I mixed mine with Mac Cosmetics nw45 along with their lustre drops.  I have to mix 2 brands or 2 shades, I add a liquid bronzer to get a flawless shade.  I recommend this to many women.  No one is one perfect shade match right out of any box.  Mixing makes for a more natural look.  Hope this helps 

What is your perfect shade? What do you use to get it? Comment below.

Forever 21 Red Blazer

9:27 AM Unknown 0 Comments

So I purchased this Forever 21 fiery red jacket.  I wanted it when I first saw it but felt I needed to see it in person before sealing the deal.  I don't buy jackets online because of my odd shape.  I ran into this lovely piece in-store and I most say it's gorgeous. 


The red it bright but no clownish.  This blazer features a high-cut back and open-front with notched accents. Long sleeves with lightly padded shoulders with mock front pockets. It's Medium weight and fully lined.  It runs small to me.  Whatever size you wear go up one.  This sophisticated high cut blazer is universal!  It'll go great with jeans or a dress.  I feel this blazer is a great buy at $28 dollars.  Hope this help if you were on the fence on buying.

Beautiful in my eyes

12:16 PM Unknown 2 Comments

The federal guidelines for weight says a woman 5ft tall should be in the weight range on the low end should be 87 pounds and on the high end 147.  As a woman 5ft tall I'm the exact height at Nicole Richie.  People call her too skinny and the same people call me too fat.  

You just can't please people.  Be happy with yourself.  If you're not happy with you make the needed changes to make you happy.  With that being said there is no need to put down other plus women that are happy with themselves or working on having a positive self image.  Just because you feel you can't or I shouldn't doesn't mean I can't because I will.  


I'm not pleased with my current weight but that doesn't mean I'm not happy with me. I don't want to lose much weight.  I'm sure if I pushed away for the table and did a few jumping jack I'd be back down to where I want to be.  But I need to make that choice.  I decide when the time is right.  Me! Please don't let others' eye define your beauty.

Welcome 2014

5:03 AM Unknown 1 Comments

  Thank you to all who supported me 2013 because 2014 is going to be an even better year for us.  I'm going to push forward with my blog.  I'm making it in a lifestyle blog that features plus size fashion.  I've spoken with many of my supporters and it's the right thing to do.  I'm for positive body image and self confidence which includes more than just what you're wearing.  



  I'm starting a YouTube channel.  Video would work for those day when I can't sit down and write.  I'm also going to work very hard to improve the work I put out.  I have important things I want to say and I know how it comes across can make the message seem unimportant.  So I will improve for 2014.



  I only ask that you all continue to support me on my journey and pray for me.  Thank you & Happy New Year!
