Are You Crushing on Velvet Yet?

August 9, 2016.Reading time less than 1 minute.

If you haven’t fallen in love with velvet yet, I promise you soon will. Velvet is creeping back into all of your favorite stores and there’s good reason for it. A velvet dress, shoes, choker or pant adds texture to your wardrobe which in return adds a different dimension to your usual looks. If you’re looking for a way to update your wardrobe now and for the colder months, I say choose velvet.

Fashion & Finances with Tiffany Aliche aka The Budgetnista

August 7, 2016.Reading time 5 minutes.

The one thing I equally love as much as fashion is personal finance. I know these two don’t seem a likely pair but somehow I’ve learned to live and love both equally, not always perfectly, but to my best ability. Fashion requires spending and personal finance advises to limit your spending. To get some clarity I reached out to personal finance guru, Tiffany Aliche aka The Budgetnista, for questions and answers to help us all learn more about balancing a love for fashion and managing our finances.

New Color Combo for ALL Sizes and Under Budget

August 3, 2016.Reading time 1 minute.

I’m always on the hunt for new color combinations, especially with Fall creeping around the corner! And lately, the red and olive color combination is giving me life! So excited about it I decided to create this post for my trendsetting readers but what’s even more special is I was able to find great looks for ALL sizes and under budget- every piece is under $90 (and mostly $50 or less)! Yay!

The back story to this is I recently gained a new follower on Instagram who asked if I could create some looks for the plus size community. I know many women struggle with body issues, myself included, so I was inspired to create this look for all body types – skinny, skinny fat, curvy and plus size. Whatever your size, you can find a look here that will work.

Let me know what you think about this post? Do you feel the plus size community is underserved in fashion?
