Fabulous Faux

Happy Hump Day all!

While scrolling through Pinterest last night, I came across GarnerStyle’s pin of this AMAZING Wilsons Leather faux leather jacket.  I instantly went “whoa!” and put it on my Must Have list for the Fall.  The jacket got me thinking about how far faux leather has come.  They’re no longer grainy and cheap looking jackets.  The jackets are now made with quality materials that mimic leather so much, you wont believe it’s faux.  The new faux leather jackets are better constructed to fit the plus body so you can move around without feeling stiff.  Better quality means a longer lasting jacket that can be worn year after year.    The faux leather jacket I bought from Kohl’s last year is still in great condition and has no signs of wear.

Adding a faux leather jacket to any outfit instantly adds edge and polish to any outfit. Try it with a  maxi dress or  jeans to update your look.  It’s one closet staple you’ll wont regret having!

Do you have a faux leather jacket? How do you wear it?

Have a great day!

Fab Flats for $50 and Under

Happy Monday all!

As I’ve gotten older, my love for heels has seriously waned.  Instead of donning on 3 inch heels, I find myself reaching for my trusty flats.  Flats are a main staple in my closet.  Because they are so versatile, I can wear them to the supermarket or a night out.  Plus I think they are a  great substitute  for sneakers when you need to quickly get out the door.  And Like the majority of items in my closet, my flats are wallet  friendly so I can stay on budget.

Here are some affordable but fashionable flats that will jazz up any outfit this season!  

Which ones do you like?

Have a great day!

Fall Foliage

Happy Hump Day all!

Seeing the leaves turn is one of my favorite parts of Autumn. The warm hues are lush and bright especially in the afternoon sun. I’m fortunate to see this wonderful display of color everyday when I walk to the train station. My outfit today is inspired by changing leaves and their brilliant colors.

What is your favorite part of Fall?

Have a wonderful evening!

An Evening with MYNT 1792

Happy Monday all!

On Friday I was invited by PLUS Model Magazine and Mynt 1792 to view their Fall 2012 collection. To have the opportunity to see their new collection was too tempting to pass up! Plus size women want a plethora of choices for clothing. We don’t want to be confined by having only a select few brands. That is why I was so excited to be invited to this event!

Mynt 1792 knows what the curvy consumer wants and isn’t afraid to give it to us.    I was very impressed with the selection of clothing that was shown.  The collection is very much on trend but it is versatile to meet the consumers lifestyle.  Many of the items were transitional (able to wear to work or out with friends). I was also impressed with the quality of material used for the clothing.  We curvy women know all too well about poorly and cheaply made clothing.  Mynt 1792 cares about giving us quality fabrics that will allow longevity of the item.  If I’m spending over a $100 for a blazer or jacket, I need to know I can wear if for several years to come, not just one season.  Mynt 1792 gets this and it was evident in their designs.

I had the pleasure of attending the event with Corrinn of The Fuller Figure and Colleen of Short Curvy Fierce. Not only are these ladies stylish and beautiful, they are SO fun to be around! Corrinn and Colleen kept me in stitches all night long! All the photos in this post were wonderfully taken by Corrinn. As you can see, she is a natural with the camera! Also present was my Chicago blogger buddy Jaye of Curvatude. I love talking and hanging out with her! She is one of the sweetest people I know!  I bumped into Yve who was apart of the Fashion Night Out event I participated here in Philly. It was great catching up with her and seeing her wonderful smile!

Mynt 1792 Fall Collection will be available online at mynt1792.com and Nordstrom (online only) starting October 1st. Please check them out, trust me you will like what you see!

Have a wonderful day!
