Ose and Jibri

Hellooooooooooooooh!

I was making my usual blog rounds when I came across these two very fabulous collections on Stylish Curves.

No. 1

Ose

No. 2

Jibri

Ugh! These outfits have the name Karen written all over them! Clothing will be the death of me! On another note, these are great clues for friends and family looking for Christmas gifts. Wink, wink!

Eloquii by The Limited

Hi Loves,

I was hesitant to check out Eloquii by The Limited because career-wear really isn't my thing but once I got a look at their gorgeous tuxedo jacket I had to see more. Right now they only ship to the US but I'm sure we can rally around getting them include Canada!

Below are some of my faves.

Adele on the Cover of Cosmopolitan Magazine

Adele is looking lovely on the cover of the Dec. 2011 issue of Cosmopolitan!

Curvy Girls

"The partnership between the curvy world and TV is now well-established, confirmation of the fact that this is a subject that’s has been on the minds of many women – they’ve just been looking for a voice capable of expressing it." Veronica Botassini, Vogue Curvy.

PLUS Model Magazine Nov. 2011

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the face model Katya Zharkova is serving on the cover of PLUS Model Magazine? That dress by Dauxilly needs to be in my closet ASAP!

Speaking of Dauxilly here are a few other lust-worthy items of theirs:

Dauxilly goes from sizes 0-20. Happy shopping!

Here's a fun behind-the-scenes look from PLUS Model Mag.

New Addition...Once Again I've Overdosed on Torrid Shoes

I'm a bad little blogger. Torrid was having a massive sale this weekend and I failed to tell you all; with the exception of announcing it on Twitter. Please don't be angry with me, I've been frightfully busy...

Now that we're friends again can I show you what I got? Torrid has to have the BEST clearance section online-look at my new babies!

Stephanie Bezaire...Time is Now

Hello Beauties!

If you're in Toronto you will want to go down to the Rosehill Lounge on November 15 for Time is Now hosted by plus-size model Liis Windischmann (pictured above) featuring designs from: Stephanie Bezaire, Gussied Up, Lola and Gigi and Toni+ just to name a few. I'm especially excited to see Stephanie Bezaire as she is quickly becoming one of my favourite designers! She uses eco-friendly materials and designs pieces that I will be wearing for a long time. My favourite pieces of hers are pictured below.

I'll be there in a little gray and black number so if you see me come over and say hi!

OOTD No. 2

Thank all you dolls for the positive feedback on my first OOTD post. Putting yourself out there is not easy! About this post I have to admit I was very, VERY tempted to do some photoshopping and some cropping but at the end of the day I'm not the type of person who takes kindly to chasers. So in the spirit of "keeping it real" here I am, muffin top and all.

The event was the launch for GRAFIC Woman/Online and it was a lot of fun!

F3 Full Figured Fashionista Back in Action!

Anyone who knows me knows I am for all things bad ass and stylists-turned-designers Shuchi and Anjula Sharma definitely fit into that category. This duo debuted an amazing collection last year including my very favourite piece (shown below).

This year they didn't disappoint with a collection of seperates that work together or on their own with ease. F3 is alway tough and chic with a downtown girl vibe. Visit F3 for more.

Black Barbie

I popped my head in Forever 21 the other day and found this little gem, isn't she a beauty?!



Can't go wrong with a distressed, cotton tee.

OOTD No. 1

Here's my first 'outfit of the day' post. Let me start by saying that I am indeed an awkward, little wallflower; my nailpolish will always be chipped and (as my friends can attest) my clothes will never be perfectly pressed. I like OOTD posts however, because they'll allow me to edit and see how I can come out of my comfort zone. It will be nice to see how my style evolves. With all that being said, I bid thee adieu.

Blouse: Thrifted

Belt: Voluptuous

Pants: Forever 21

Shoes: Torrid

Purse: Gifted (and it's vegan leather too!)

Bracelet: MICALLA Don't Ask

Brooch: Sample Sale

I hope you liked it! There's nothing I love more than an androgynous look with a vintage nod.

P.S. You can catch my reason for loving Fall in The Bay's B-Insider! I was so blessed to have the opportunity to film with fashion film director Francisco Garcia. Believe me when I say I was a HOT, nervous mess!

Adele's Vogue UK Spread

Cover girl of the October of Vogue UK Adele takes an amazingly beautiful shot. My only hang-up is that none of them are full-length body shots. It would have been nice to see at least one full outfit on her curves, especially on the cover.
