Who says fat girls can’t wear stripes? I love to wear stripes and I especially LOVE LOVE LOVE this jersey dress from ASOS! I paired it with some black tights [because it is still freezing in NYC] and a faux-leather jacket from forever 21+. I scored this very popular and sold out kate spade handbag on ebay! I love everything pink and I’ve wanted it since forever and now I shall wear it always. To finish the look I added some glitter wedges from Senso and my favorite necklace from Spike the Punch.

I scored this gorgeous sweater at an H&M outlet, from their MAMA [maternity] line. I loved the bold stripes, the big buttons, and the big pockets. I tried it on and I loved the oversized fit! It also has an A-line fit which makes this sweater look great over jeans, leggings, and dresses.
I am a huge fan of mixing prints so I paired this bold striped sweater with some fabulous red polka dot jeans from Forever 21+. I finished the outfit with red Aldo wedges and for a pop of color my new favorite BCBG leather fold-over clutch.
I’m allover printed jeans right now, here are some of my favorites: HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE

I love me a great chambray shirt! This forever 21 find for under $20 bucks was a great investment! I wear it all the time and the great thing about a good chambray top is that it can be dressed up or dressed down. In this look, I paired the top with a comfy jersey mini skirt from ASOS. To accessorize, I paired this ensemble with the coveted Margiela Candy Clutch that I scored on eBay! I also added my ASOS glitter shades and necklace from Spike the Punch.

I’ve been on a serious LEATHER + NEON kick and it just wont go away. This season leather is all about the “Glamorous Gothic” look. From leather gloves, jackets, dresses, skirts, leggings, trousers, leather is all over. Check out some of my favorite {plus size} must have leather statement pieces this season: HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE.
In this look I paired some faux-leather leggings with a sheer neon pink flowy top from forever 21+. I finished the look with my JC platform sneaks [I’m obsessed with them], and added a touch of glitter with a Betsey Johnson sequin backpack, glitter ASOS sunnies, and a gorgeous sparkly necklace from Spike the Punch.

NYC is full force into winter which means the weather is in the 20s and 30s. But alas, it isn’t too hard to stay cute and warm. This winter NYC has been all about the FAUX-FUR statement coat. This hooded faux-fur beauty from ASOS was perfect for me, and very very warm! If I wear it over 30 degrees I’m going to be sweating! Some similar options are: THIS, THIS, and THIS.
I am so obsessed with the peplum trend! Peplum creates a beautiful feminine silhouette on all body-types and sizes. If you haven’t already gotten into peplum, get to it: HERE, HERE, HERE!

I am very patiently awaiting autumn, but I have to say, I am quite overrrrr the heat. Bring on sweaters, jackets, leather, boots, scarves… I’m ready! Here are some of my newest fall pieces to my wardrobe. This plum feather vest is amaze, and was such a good forever 21 find for under 30$. These bad bitch gold studded boots are officially my favoritest boots so prepare yourselves to see them all the time. Can we please talk about this perfect neon green Kate Spade bag [on super sale!] with gold hardware… it’s a perfect fall statement bag! I’m predicting that leather+gold+spikes+neon are still going to be totally on trend this fall. [P.S. Polka dots are forever timeless and always on trend. Always.]

I’m back! Sorry darlings, I just started working full time again as a preschool teacher and this summer I’m also taking grad school classes trying to finish my master’s… so I have been a bit busy! I just bought this dress from Forever 21+ and I had to share!
Its not easy staying fashionable when the temperature outside is over 90 degrees plus NYC’s 100% humidity… but here is how to make it work: Stick with a light dress and minimal accessories. Look for light breathable fabrics and pair them with a bright shoe. Here I styled this back chiffon cut out dress with a metallic pink belt from ASOS Curve and hot pink barbie like heels from Forever 21. Remember ladies, just because its hot out doesn’t mean we can’t be fashionable and comfortable!!
What I’m Wearing: Dress- Forever21+, Shoes - Forever 21, Bow Clutch- H&M, Skinny Belt- ASOS Curve, Earrings- Betsey Johnson
Happy Father’s Day!!! To celebrate having the best Dad ever, my family went on a brunch booze cruise around NYC. I kept it casual chic and slightly patriotic with a red flowy summer dress from Forever 21+ and my favorite navy Jeffery Campbell platforms. The weather in NYC is finally perf, no jacket or sweater needed. Just a piece of advice, platforms might not be the best choice in footwear for going on a boat… oh well, they went nicely with the dress!

I know I’m super late on the neon trend but I was waiting for a really great neon statement dress… I found it! A neon pink skater dress with polka dot lace… could it be more me?!?!?! If only it had sparkles hehe. This dress seems like perfection but I had to get it tailored twice, it didn’t sit right on my petite torso [I’m 5’2”] and it needed to be taken in from the sides also. After all the tailoring I love it! I paired it with a black ASOS Curve bow belt and some fun Jeffery Campbell platforms.

Yayyy! NYC weather is nice again to bare legs! For a day spent running errands around Manhattan and having lunch with a good friend, I kept it simple and chic for this outfit.
