DE-MES' TIKS by REUBEN REUEL NEW YORK

Image
Hey Dolls, I'm so excited to share my new designer find with you! As you know fashion is my passion, particularly high end designer pieces. Unfortunately, most designer items are not made in plus sizes, nor affordable, so I've made it my mission to try and re-create designer looks with affordable pieces I find in plus.  Currently, I'm totally obsessed with designer Stella Jean! I adore all of the prints and layering. After seeing the line, I went on a hunt to find African print plus size items. I started with a simple Google search and ended up on Etsy. It was there that I discovered my new designer muse, Reuben Reuel! Mr. Reuel's line is called DE-MES' TIKS . His print choices are amazing and I basically fell in love with EVERYTHING (just ask him lol)! I placed an order for my 2 fave items within the hour!  Here's my 1st item...  UGH! That moment you realize part of your skirt was flipped up after the fact! lol I decided to keep this outfit sim

EMBROIDERED JEANS

Hey Dolls,  When I went to New York in June, I attended "A Torrid Affair" where I was able try on new items from the line. I loved loved loved their skinny jeans and Torrid was kind enough to send me this pair.  I've never been a fan of embroidered pockets but I really liked the bold white stitching on this pair of skinny's. Here, I've posted two looks using the same pair of jeans. I wore the first look during the day and the second look was worn to dinner later that night.  First Look Jeans: Torrid Premium Skinny Jeans - Embroidered Leatherette Dark Wash   Yellow Dotted Top: Lane Bryant Necklace: F21 Earrings: Torrid Shoes: Target Second Look Same Jeans as First Look Side Zip Belted Jacket: Lane Bryant Shoes: Lane Bryant Earrings: Karla Deras for Roman Luxe Watch: Michael Kors Have you tried Torrid jeans ?

BROWN SKIN

Image
Hey Dolls,  I hope y'all are having a great Saturday thus far. Today, I took my daughter to buy school pants and decided to pull out this easy breezy shirt dress. I don't know why brown is so often neglected because it's a great neutral that pretty much matches everything. I paired it with a pop of pink.  Dress: C.E. by Cristina Ehrlich for QVC Scarf: Lane Bryant Shoes: Jessica Simpson via Dillard's Sunnies: Jessica Simpson Earrings: Vintage Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

A FIT LEOPARD WITH FLARE

Image
Hey Dolls,  I'm currently obsessed with skirts! One of the most universally flattering styles is a fit and flare. Basically, a skirt that is fitted in the waist and then flares throughout the tummy and hips. This particular one is my fave because not only does it fit and flare but it also has the best print ever....LEOPARD!!!  I created this cropped top by cutting off the bottom portion of a dress that was too tight in the hips. Totally loving DIYs at the moment.  Sunnies: Jessica Simpson Necklace and Earrings: Melody Ehsani (Queen of the Jungle ) Top: DIY Skirt: Jones New York Shoes: Nine West With LOVE, Kiah

SATURDAY WITH SOFIA

Image
Hey Dolls,  I spent my Saturday with Sofia. Sofia is my first Rachel Pally  dress and I love it! The material is very soft and comfortable and the print gives an "ethnic" vibe that I adore. I'm certain that in the very near future more Rachel Pally pieces will find their way into my closet. ;-)  "Sofia" Dress: Rachel Pally (get yours here ) Belt: Target Shoes: Nine West Sunnies: Jessica Simpson With LOVE, Kiah
