Casual Friday/On the Road Again

TGIF!

This weekend, I’m heading home to New York City (Bronx born and raised!) to visit family and attend the BlogHer conference (I’m so excited about going!).  Whenever I go home I take the bus because  a) driving to NYC is a pain in the butt  b) New Yorkers drive INSANE (yep I said it!) and  c) there is no parking in my sister’s neighborhood.  Plus, I don’t like to drive at ALL.    If I had my way people would have the ability to beam everywhere like they do on “Star Trek”!

Whenever I travel in the summer, I either wear shorts or a maxi dress for comfort.  Since I’m  leaving right after work, I went for the maxi dress.  This  Old Navy maxi dress is colorful, lightweight and very comfy.  I got it a year ago for my family vacation to Las Vegas  and it quickly became my favorite dress.  I   paired it with my multicolored beaded necklace from the Avenue and wood cuff.  When I initially bought the necklace, I didnt have anything to wear with it, so it just sat in my drawer.  When I got the dress, I instantly thought of this necklace and the rest was history!

What do you like to wear when you travel? Have a wonderful weekend!

Dress: Old Navy

Necklace: the Avenue (I bought it a year ago)

Sonsi “BeYOUtiful” Blogger Party

Happy Hump Day!!!

Last Friday, I was invited to Sonsi Blogger “BeYOUtiful” Pop Up party as apart of FFFWeek. This was my very first blogger function and I was beyond excited to be invited. The energy in the room was warm and positive. It was great to mingle with fellow bloggers and meet new people. There were giveaways, spa stations and yummy breakfast food (loved the mini waffle on a stick!). Brands such as Catherine’s, Sydney’s Closet and SWAK were also present giving us a sneak peek of their Fall lines. These brands are committed to the plus size consumer and take us VERY seriously. I was able to speak to a few of them and was excited to see what they have in store for us.

For this event, I wore my colorblock maxi dress from Eloquii which I got many compliments on. As you know I love maxi dresses and this dress doesn’t disappoint!

This was my last FFFWeek event and I was glad I decided to come. Attending FFFWeek was a wonderful experience that made me feel proud to be a curvy woman! I cant wait until next year and I hope to see YOU there too!

Have a great day!!!
