In the early evening, FFFWeek continued with a fashion show at Bloomingdales. Since the two main fashion shows were sold out, this was the only fashion show I attended (bummer!) The show highlighted designers like Michael Kors, Ralph Lauren, Elie Tahari and Calvin Klein. The models were absolutely gorgeous !!! These are some of my favorite looks from the show.
Have a great day!
Happy Monday all!
Last Thursday I had the pleasure of attending my first Full Figure Fashion Week! I have SO much to show you that one post will not be enough! I attended the Building Your Brand Through Social Media workshop moderated by Marie Denee (the Curvy Fashionista and one of my blogging heroes!). On the panel was Marina Zelner (Queen Grace Collection, fabulous plus size clothing), Alissa (from Stylish Curves, one of my favorite blogs) and Madeline Figueroa-Jones (EIC of Plus Model Magazine which features gorgeous plus size women). I learned SO much from the panel. Being at this workshop inspired me to think of the bigger picture and aim high. These women are intelligent, insightful and business savvy. They offered so much knowledge and insight into the various aspects of blogging. After the panel, I felt more empowered and will put what I learned into practice.
The highlight of the day was meeting bloggers who welcomed me when I first started blogging and bloggers I truly admire. Rebecca (from The Plus Side of Me),Olivia (from Wait Until Sunset), Nicole (from A Well Rounded Venture) and Izzy (from Izzy Gets Bizzy) embraced me and showed me a lot of love. They are WONDERFUL amazing women with such style and class. It was my honor to have met them.
Below are pictures from the panel. I forgot to get my nephew to take a picture of my outfit. I wore a tribal print Calvin Klein dress, DKNY denim blazer with accessories from Macy’s. I will be posting the Bloomingdales fashion show portion of my first day tomorrow. Have a wonderful evening!!!

I want to thank everyone who entered my first giveaway!
I’m currently in NYC for Full Figure Fashion Week. I’ve had such a wonderful time and met so many great people. I wanted to post my pictures but unfortunately I left my camera cord in Philly so I wont be able to post until I get back on Sunday.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Happy Hump Day!
The great thing about trends is that you can pick and choose one that works for you. I’ve been eying the tribal print trend for a while but couldn’t find a piece that would ease me into it. This skirt from Old Navy was the perfect way for me to introduce this trend into my wardrobe. The print is color friendly so you can mix it up a bit. Surprisingly the material isn’t thin or flimsy. Another plus is that it has POCKETS! You can wear this skirt for work with a blazer and a blouse (like moi!) or casual with cute flats and a v neck tee.
What trends are you willing to try? Have a great evening and don’t forget my Simply Be Tuxedo Jacket giveaway ends tomorrow, so enter here!

It’s rare that a trend comes along that has me falling head over heels in love. Peplum has done this to me. I have to restrict my purchases because if I had it my way, I would wear peplum skirts, shirts and dresses all the time! Why has peplum smitten me so? It’s the fit and flounce of the ruffle! I also think in some way it takes me back to when I was kid pretending to be a princess in my Sunday ruffled best. I’m addicted to ruffles and peplum has become my crack!
What trends are you in love with? Have a great evening!
