Happy Monday all!
If you are like me, you probably have a few more holiday parties to attend this week. What to wear to these soirees can definitely drop to the bottom of your “To Do” list as you finish up last minute gift shopping and other holiday preparations. So if you still have a holiday party or two left here are a few outfit suggestions.
Have a great day!

Happy Hump Day all!
In keeping with my promise to re-purpose some of my Summer clothes, I decided to wear this yellow skirt from Eloquii today. During the Summer I got a lot of wear out of this skirt primarily because I love yellow. Lately I’ve been abandoning the traditional Fall/Winter hues for more bright, fun colors. I chose my teal cowl neck sweater with the skirt to punch up the color combination. I added a yellow skinny belt to reduce the bulkiness of the sweater and give the outfit a more pulled together look. Can I digress for a moment to say how much I love Eloquii’s adjustable belts! Belts are often a crap shoot for me because they are either too short or too long. Their adjustable belts (I have more than one!) lets me determine how much belt I need. These belts have saved my outfit on many occasions!
My outfit is light on accessories because I don’t know what kind of necklace to wear with cowl necks. I feel like a long necklace would get swallowed up by the cowl. If anyone has any suggestions on what necklace to wear please feel free to share.
How are re-purposing your Summer clothes for Fall/Winter?
Have a great evening!

Happy Monday all!
My 8-year-old goddaughter still believes in Santa Claus (she told me so over dinner two weeks ago) so that got me to thinking…what if Santa was real? I’ve been a little naughty this year but overall I was a good girl so here’s my Christmas Wish list!
Santa this vibrant Coach tote would make me smile everyday and not be a Grinch when its cold outside! Plus its roomy enough to carry all my Christmas gifts! (okay I know that’s laying it on a little thick Santa).
Santa I NEED this coat like yesterday! The color is vibrant and a great alternative to my old black coat. Santa can’t you see me wearing my yellow Coach tote with this coat?! OMG!
What girl doesn’t like a little sparkle Santa?! This necklace is gorgeous! P.S. Tell Mrs. Claus to keep her paws off!
Santa you know how much I love a great black and white print! This blouse would be perfect with my leather pencil skirt or red trousers. I expect this number under the Christmas tree or no cookies for you!
Whats on your Christmas Wish list?
Have a wonderful day!
TGIF all!
I want to apologize for the lapse in posting. I got sick on Monday and have been out of it until today. I had been having stomach problems for the past few weeks and I just chalked it up to being lactose intolerant. But on Tuesday, things got worse with severe abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. I knew then it was something more than just lactose intolerance. After spending a few hours in the ER and an ultrasound, I learned that I have gallstones which where causing my symptoms. The doctor advised me that I would have change my eating and adopt a low fat diet avoid further painful episodes. So no more fried and fatty foods which much to my dismay, has been the majority of my diet. It’s one thing to look good on the outside but it’s another to take shitty care of yourself inside. I’m not gonna lie, eliminating a lot of foods that I love has been downright frustrating, but it’s a must. I’ll still enjoy a french fry or naughty desert once in a while but just not every other day.
On a happier note, I feel better and what way to show that by wearing a great dress! When I was contacted by IGIGI to review one of their dresses, I nearly did a somersault! I’ve been a huge fan of IGIGI for a while now, so this was an awesome opportunity. I picked the Isolde Belted Dress in Parisian Green because I wanted something different from the dresses that I normally wear. IGIGI doesn’t shy away from the full figure, they embrace it. The material is not flimsy or thin. It’s well constructed and contours to your body but not constricting. The shape of the dress definitely holds up during the day. I could easily move around due the stretch in the dress. The dolman sleeves don’t swallow up the dress like some dolman sleeve dresses do. I didn’t feel like I had bat wings or extra material under my arms. I like showing off my shape so this might be a little too fitted for some, but go up a size if you want a looser fit. You will still look fabulous!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Dress: IGIGI (gifted)
Belt: Eloquii (a belt comes w/the dress, but I decided to wear this one)
TGIF or thank God its BLACK FRIDAY! Tee hee!
Just wanted to post a quick picture of what I wore on Thanksgiving day. Thanksgiving dinner at my sister’s house is very laid back/come as you are, so I decided to ditch the outfit I had planned and kept things simple.
As for Black Friday shopping, yes I was out there with the throngs of New Yorkers in the wee hours of the morning. I hit up Old Navy, H&M, Macys and JCPenney. I came away with a few items that will be featured on the blog in a couple of weeks. The thing I’m most proud of is that I stuck to my budget and made no expensive impulse purchases. Yay me!
How was your Thanksgiving? Did you venture out for Black Friday deals?
Have a great holiday weekend!
