Happy Monday all!

On Saturday, Tamera and I went to the Philadelphia Natural Hair show and a baby shower/BBQ later in the afternoon. Since both functions were casual affairs  I was able to wear my new striped Target maxi dress.  I initially went into Target to get a gift for the shower but ended up with the dress! (Target knows how to get ya!)  Nevertheless,  we had a great time at the hair show and the baby shower was lovely.  Kiana looked radiant in her all her pregnant glory and she loved the cute baby clothes I bought.  I closed  out my fun day by hanging out with my BFF  and drinking fruity homemade sangria. Who could ask for anything more?!

How was your weekend?

Have a great day!

Spring Trends IV: Emerald Green

TGIF all and  Happy Good Friday!

This is the last week of the Spring Trends challenge and the final trend on the list is emerald green.  If you haven’t heard,  Pantone has crowned it the color of the season (side note: Who is Pantone? Lol).  I decided to end this thing with a bang and combine emerald-green with ALL the trends (black & white, floral and leather) featured in the challenge!

Please check out the other bloggers participating in the challenge for their take on emerald green:

Happy Hump Day all!

Spring is here! Woo hoo! I’m so looking forward to ditching the down coat and wearing bright colors! .  Even though the weather here in Philadelphia is FAR from Spring-like, I still wanted to wear something colorful to mark the occasion.

Speaking of Spring, IGGI  has debuted  their new Spring Awakening collection that embodies the season with vibrant colors, lush draping and gorgeous prints. In true IGGI style  these  beautiful  dresses highlight and celebrate the curvy/plus body.   As you know I’m a sucker for prints, so the Carmelle wrap dress (in the second picture) is a standout for me. What is your favorite?

Have a wonderful day!

Perfectly Pleated…Again

Happy Hump Day all!

What can I say, I absolutely love this skirt! Unfortunately I haven’t worn it in a while because of the brutal cold but today the weather was in the upper 50’s so I whipped it out! I paired it with my green peplum top, dark green faux leather jacket and leopard print kitten heels to keep in season.  Now that the weather is slowly improving, this skirt will get a lot of wear.

What clothes are you excited to wear once the weather gets warmer?

P.S. The bag was my other birthday gift to myself  😉
