Fashion at any size: Plus size edition

I am plus size, hear me ROAR!!! Lol, seriously my love affair with fashion began at a early age. It took me a while to get into my own style. I went through a preppy stage, gothlic/vampire stage,even a 70's bell bottom stage. I think back and laugh, but I am happy that I always threw my own flavor into any trend. So imagine when I started to step into the plus size area and I find that the options are not the same. Either you look like a 60 year in hot polyester or you are stuck in cheap material made into halter dresses and unattractive size 6 replicas. Note: Just because it's your size doesn't mean you should wear it. So when I couldn't easily find attractive clothing for a plus size figure I began to scope the web and this is what I found.

First up is ASOS.com: ASOS Curve collection

A trendy yet affordable fashion for plus size ladies

Next up we have Monif C

Monif C also has nice affordable but trendy outfits

And last but not least we have Forever 21 Plus

when you want something fun cute and affordable

Happy shopping Divas!!!!



Flashing Lights:Neon and Bold Colors

It's old.....yes, I know. Nothing says the 80's more than Neon and bold bright colors. Add a little bit of spark and mystery, yes I said mystery with a touch of Neon.  Careful not to go overboard with this hot trend, too much neon can easily change you from a chic fashionista into a cheesy 80's movie extra. Whether it be a bold purse, a statement bracelet or some hot neon shoes; try this tend out for a night on the town.

Hello World................guess who's back!!!!   

I know I have been away for a while, but I am back. I thought I could easily walk away from this blog, but even when I wasn't blogging fashion stayed on the brain lol. A lot of my friends would ask what happened to the blog and I would say not right now, but honestly I just wasn't motivated to write a thing. Just wanted to say a special thanks to all my friends that have stayed positive and have kept me encouraged during my hiatus. I really do love you all!!! Muah!!!!!!!

When Keep it real goes wrong

We have all had bad days. We have all had bad relationships. We have all had a situation that happened in life, that caused heartache and pain. There is nothing wrong with dealing with your problem and becoming a better person because of it. We all know that one person that is absolutely gorgeous, but we can't get past her one fashion fail: bitterness.  Being bitter is the worse fashion accessory that a girl can have.

Bitterness is something that you can't hide; it begins to eat away at your inside and spews out to everyone around you. No matter how you dress it up, bitterness will never be a trend to follow.  I find that prayer, exercise, meditation and journal writing helps to relieve bitterness.  Your thoughts???

What is that you're wearing?????

You've been there before. Picture it, you're standing in a line and BOOM, the most divine scent hits your nose and you begin to turn and look until you have found who owns that scent. I am in love with fragances. I believe that you should find your signature scent and that doesn't mean you have to spend a fortune to do so. Here are some of my favorite fragances. What are yours???

Letter from luann

Fashion is seriously all about risk. This blog is my small start in risking taking. I have always loved fashion; I was the kinda girl that would buy all kinds of fashion magazines and pour over them for hours. I would save them and read them over and over. Writing has always come naturally to me, but for years I allowed fear to stop me from my dreams. Sometimes fear can be a generational curse, because no one ever took the chance to step out of the box. When I decided to start my blog, I didn't tell anyone. I didn't need or want any ones opinion. To step out of the box you have to realize that everyone will not support your plan. At 30 years old, I have decided not to let fear hold me back anymore. Everyday will not be easy and you will cross some bumps in the road. I learned about the power of prayer a long time ago and God will truly reveal somethings to you, if you take the time to open your heart, mind and eyes. You are in charge of your future. It's all about LIVING YOUR LIFE YOUR WAY !!!!!!
