12 DRESSES OF CHRISTMAS LOOK 12 NEW YEARS SHINE

On the 12th day of Christmas my Fashion Fairy gave to me.....

My New Years Eve Outfit

We are a few hours away from 2018 and what a year it was.  I like to say 2017 was the year of change.  I saw so many people in my life change something in their life.  From babies, to jobs, to engagements I saw so much growth in 2017.  Lets hope it Keep it going for 2018 right?

For this outfit I decided to go with pink and green.  I love pink so want to wear it for the New Year and green is a lucky color to wear on new years so thought this sequins green would be great way to wear this lucky color. 

I fell in love with the coat the moment I saw at Simply Be Holiday Party.  I love how fluffy and warm it is.  I just had to have it!!!! Plus I will definitely come in handy tonight with the temperature being so cold.  It is like the most fashionable throw cover and it was so so hard to take off.  

The thing I loved about this skirt was its ability to become black and the sequins changed color.  So if you see a black sequins skirt you know what happened. (#swipeleft) lol

2017 was a great year for me and I cant not be more happy with the results.  I gain some new friends, old friendships were tested, hosted some online stuff, had a campaign or two, gained a masters degree, gained a new job, grew my network and so many more goals were accomplished I cant name them all (I REALLY CAN'T).  

I am truly excited for 2018 and cant wait for you all to join me in 2018!!!

HAPPY NEW YEARS STYLISTAS!!!

Oh almost forgot...

12 DRESSES OF CHRISTMAS LOOK 5: FB LIVE WITH DIA AND CO

On the 5th day of Christmas my fashion fairy gave to me....

Pleated leather skirt and Bird Shirt w. Dia & Co. FB live

On Monday, I had the pleasure of talking with Dia & Co on fashion how to handle family member during the holidays.

As I am doing "12 Dresses of Christmas" and Dia was doing "12 days of Dia", it was a great way to bring the two worlds together.



Along with our host Ashby, I was chatting next to some amazing women. The panel consist of Jessica Torres and Kayla who works for Dia. Also, artist Jonquel was drawing two winners of our FB live. How great is that?

For this event outfit I decided to wear an outfit ready to go from work to fun. I love this outfit because it worked perfect for my office but was able to work well on camera.

FFFWEEK MENSWEAR FASHION SHOWCASE: MAKE ROOM FOR BRAWNS!!!

WOW!!!Full Figured Fashion Week 2017 has come and gone and I just now stop wiring from all the excitement.  Because of grad school (and the 3,000 pages I have to write constantly) I wasn't able to attend all the events but I did get a chance to go to the Menswear fashion showcase, AKA Baewalk, at the 404 Event Space in NYC.

Menswear has grow by more that 30% each year for the past 5 years.  This is two time as faster then menswear and 1/2 as fast as plus size women wear. With the growth of Instagram and Snapchat not only do women of all size want to look amazing and unique in their clothes so do men of all sizes too.
Even with the multitude of information on menswear, its hard to find statistics on big & tall menswear and how they are growing or if they are being serviced in the market.   Yes, there are retailers that carry big & tall (a label that also needs to be renamed in order to show the diversity of the category) but most are classic in style, cut and color. I say that were plus size was 10 years ago is where menswear is now.

As menswear grows just as fast as plus size women category, its exciting to see FFFweek give three designers a platform to showcase our big and tall male models and designers.  We all deserve great fashion and I was happy to hear that Devoe Signature Events sees the need as well.  For us women who love menswear...thank you for this!!!

This show was a separate showcase from the main event and was dedicated only to the big and tall category of fashion.  The designers giving fashion and fire for men over a size XL.  This showcase was sponsored by MVP, a new high end fashion line also created for brawn men.

Below are photos of the three designers for 2017.

Swimwear you want...swimwear you shall have

Special thank you to all the male models.  You dared to show the plus size world that all bodies of all shapes and heights and gender is okay.  

I ask you all to follow them encourage them on their journey.  They have a fight in front of them and if your a plus model you can understand that struggle.

THICK THIGHS SAVE LIVES: My Body Positive Story

FOR SO LONG...I was ashamed of my thighs.  I hated that they were the biggest thing on my body. No matter how I improved my self esteem, they were always the thing on my body I didn't like. Plus, being 6 ft tall my legs are the first thing people see. So having big thighs made it even harder.

As you can imagine, wearing anything short was a huge NO NO for me. If I wore a skirt, I added leggings. No matter how hot is was outside, leggings was a must.

With popularity of the maxi dress came my salvation.  My prayers was answered.  No longer would I have to wear short dresses. That was until last summer.

Last summer, my mini me saw me getting dress and asked why I was wearing a long dress on a hot day.  She said, "Just wear your skirt and a top or a shirt dress mom." I said to her, "Mom is not really proud of her legs." She look down and said "But don't you say all part of me is beautiful. So all parts of you is beautiful too." (SMART GIRL RIGHT!!!!) I gave her a huge hug with watery eyes and said thank you.

Now I realize that my think thighs are fine.  If and when I want them to be smaller slimmer then they will be but I shouldn't sacrifice my fashion for my fears.  So let the thick thighs fly!!!!
To all my fashionista..lets pledge to let one body part out this summer.

Rather its your legs, chest, upper arms, or whatever lets you think is too big.....its not.  Throw aside the leggings, cami and sweaters for the summer.

Let your thick ____ shine!!!
