5 TAKEAWAYS FROM GABOUREY SIDIBE CONVERSATION ON “THIS IS JUST MY FACE”

Posted in FASHION & BEAUTY, LIFESTYLETagged , , , , , , , , , , , , 21 Comments

gabby sidibe 3“This is just my face try not to stare” _ Gabourey Sidibe

.

.

Gabourey “Gabby” Sidibe visited the Chicago Humanities Festival to speak with Britt Julious about her new book “This is just my face“.  This hour long talk gave great insight into the person who is known internationally as Precious.

With that the first takeaway for the talk is the power of ones name.  Gabourey spoke about how for years she fought off being called “Gabby”.  As a child she found her name and the proper pronunciation of it very important.  She added that when people call her by her iconic character’s name she politely corrects them because she doesn’t want to be only known for in her budding career.

The second takeaway was her relationship with her father.  Gabby spoke about how her ideas of her father had been formed at the age of 6.  Family issues (read the book for the tea on him) caused by her father laid the foundation on how she would deal with him.  Her feelings for her dad did not change until she started writing her book.

My third takeaway was her handling of her mom.  People live their lives though their own eyes.  These same people will project their issue onto you because that’s all they know.  These people include moms.  Gabby spoke about her current views on getting married.  She gave insight on how her grandmother’s thoughts on her mom and if she would get married.  In turn Gabby’s mom shared her views to Gabby and her getting married.  Gabby in a since, stated she broke the cycle on living life though the lens of her mom.

The fourth takeaway was how funny Gabby is.  Gabby spoke about how she would love to do a dramedy.  She has a dry wit that I’m here for.  She finds herself to be funny and laughs at her own jokes.  I saw that for myself, lol.  She has lived a very interesting life that I could see myself watching a show loosely based on it.

The last and the most important takeaways ways for me was the idea that you can love and believe in God but still seek help for mental health.  Gabby joking said “I love Jesus but I needed a pill.”  She goes on to say that the black community needs to be more open about mental health issues and not making a person feel “crazy” when they do seek help.  I firmly believe this.  I’ve told people I love to see a mental health provider.  Talking to a good girlfriend is great.  Everyone needs to vent from time to time.  However, you can not unload on a home girl like you can with a trained professional.

 

gabby sidibe

 

I’m loving Gabby book.  I was over the moon to have a front row seat as she opened up about her life.  I’ve been a fan on Ms. Sidibe since seeing her in Precious.  Even though the movie was hard to watch it was great seeing a woman who looked like me starring in a movie.  As a dark skin woman of size I don’t see myself on screen as the star.  Fasting forwarding to now, I love that Gabby is not going to allow herself to be pigeon holed into the “fat friend” roles.  Many of her statements and feeling were just like mine on life, dealing with parents and choosing your own path to happiness.  I was great to see her telling her own story.  If you haven’t had a chance to pick her book “This is just my face” I encourage you to and give one to a friend.

REVIEW OF KYLIE COSMETICS’ #KKWxKYLIE CREME LIQUID LIPSTICKS

Posted in FASHION & BEAUTY, FASHION & BEAUTY, REVIEWSTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 33 Comments

kkw X kylieREVIEW OF KYLIE COSMETICS’ KKWxKYLIE CREME LIQUID LIPSTICKS.  MAKEUP REVIEWS DONE BY WOMEN OF COLOR FOR WOMEN OF COLOR.

 

 

Kim and Kylie teamed up to create the KKWxKylie creme liquid 4pc lip kit.  These creme lipstick were suppose to be 4 nude lip.  Kim is known for her nude makeup.  It’s often called the “no makeup‘ look.  Knowing Kim constantly wears nude lips I was happy to finally jump on the Kylie Cosmetics wave.  Kim promoted on her Instagram that the kits came with the new creme liquid formula Kiki: Pinky Nude, Kim: Peachy Nude, Kimmie: Deep Nude and Kimberly: True Nude.

 

kkw X kylie 1“I take, like, 500 selfies to get one I like.”_ Kylie Jenner

 

This collection is not nude.  On brown skin none of the 4 lipsticks look nude.  The color nude as defined by Merriam-Webster is 2a :  devoid of a natural or conventional covering; especially :  not covered by clothing or a drapeb (1) :  having a color (such as pale beige or tan) that matches the wearer’s skin tones nude pantyhose nude lipstick (2) :  giving the appearance of nudity a nude dressc :  featuring nudes a nude movied :  frequented by naked people a nude beach.  To me all four of these color are pink and not nude as defined by Merriam-Webster or my eyes.

 

.

 

kkwxkylie 10
kkwxkylie 11

Colors in swatch order: Kimberly, Kim, Kiki and Kimmie

.

The colors look fleshy on my brown skin and don’t deposit enough color to work alone as a pink lip color.  I not happy with product.  The total cost was $45.  There was no tax or shipping cost.  Which comes to $11.25 each lipstick. That’s not a bad price for non drug store liquid lipstick.  However with the false color promotion and bad formula I feel cheated.  The KKWxKylie creme liquid is not FatGirl approved.

 

Beauties have you jumped on the Kylie cosmetics wave? If so what product did you get?

 

Product purchased and all opinions are my own.

“I wish I had invented blue jeans. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity – all I hope for in my clothes.” _ Yves Saint Laurent

.

.

It is the start of crop top season and I’m here for it.  This time I choose to go with showing more shoulder than stomach.  Don’t worry you’ll be seeing a lot of my stomach this Summer.  Now let’s get into this structured cotton cold shoulder top with contrasting straps.  The flared sleeves and relaxed fit is just what I needed to get the party started.  It’s definitely a wardrobe score.   This dress code winner is from the Asos collection straight size section.  I got the largest size it came in which is a 14.  So plus size ladies you don’t have to stick to just their curvy selection to get fab finds.

I couldn’t wait to wear my skinny jeans.  They are the perfect mix of comfort meets girly curves in these soft denim jeans.  I love love love this jeans.  They are fit to perfection.  They do my shape well!

I still wanted to look polished so I added chic accessories.  I paired this modern yet classic look with a pair of black heels and my memory of bag.  Just a little on my heels for those who struggle will traditional heels.  They’re laser cutouts, an open toe and a breezy lace-up detail at the shaft define a warm-weather pump finished with a stable block heel.  I love love love them.  I was going for a comfortable and fun look.  For me this was perfect for the #lifestyled17 event.  I think I nailed this season’s blue jean fashion goals.  If you were there and were one of the million people I took pictures with be sure to tag me in them.    If you didn’t make it you can see all the action from the#lifestyled17 mixer here.  Read 2017 ULTIMATE BUCKET LIST OF PLUS SIZE EVENTS so you don’t miss the next plus size event.

phatgirlfresh“Being plus size is more than a size.  It’s a community” _ thefatgirloffashion

.

.

I landed in beautiful Atlanta with a mission.  My mission was to help in celebrating the plus community.  I’ve appointed myself as Chicago delegate for the plus community.  I fly all over showing support for others in the community.  People who share the same values I hold near and dear to my heart.

.

These values include but aren’t limited to: Being happy in your own body,  Dress in a way that makes your heart happy,  Fashion don’t stop at a size 8 and plus size women aren’t to be shamed but celebrated.
.
I met Phat Girl Fresh last year at TCFStyleExpo and I’ve since then she’s an outspoken advocate for the plus size community.  Her brand had a mixer to kick off the start of #lifestyled17 weekend.  Plus size cuties from across the U.S. and Canada came to rally behind Maui.  In her brief speech she expressed how grateful she was that so many people came out to support her event.
.
This is year one of what I hope is an annual event.  The mixer was so much fun.  I got a chance to see all my blogger boos, dance, eat, drink and be merry.  What more could I girl ask for?!  This is a real FoMO (fear of missing out) weekend.  If you can’t make it this weekend be sure to follow my Instastories so you don’t miss a thang!

THAT ONE TIME I WAS A STYLIST

Posted in FASHION & BEAUTY, FASHION & BEAUTY, LIFESTYLETagged , , , , , , , , , 2 Comments

THAT ONE TIME I WAS A STYLIST 22“Fashion is mute.  Style gives it voice.” _ June Ambrose

.

.

 

I served as the stylist for Vivian Sinya; the video director for the music artist Isaiah Jones.  It was the amazing.  The video was for a great song called “Statue“.  Statue is a song about a woman so perfect she’s like a work of art.  The guy in the song is in love with her however he can’t have her because she a Master piece.  She’s only to be looked at and not touched.

The call time for 9A.M. and I was there with bells on.  As the models filed in I made sure to greet them.  I let them know I was there to help them.  All the models were beautiful.  The video focused around curvy women.  Each model offered a different look at the curvy body.  I often caught myself looking at them and thinking you all are simply gorgeous.
Doing a video is hard work.  At one point I stepped in as a frame girl.  Good thing I did my makeup,lol.   I had on my weekend uniform which consist of a customized tee, a pair of jean (often times Rachel Roy Girlfriend Jeans) and matching hat.   I call it comfy chic.  The experience I had was wonderful.  I’m honored that the director and artist trusted me with their vision.  I can’t wait to see that vision completed.
.
.

The video is currently in post production when it’s finished I’ll update this post with links to it.  Until then you can check out Isaiah’s soundcloud here.

M·A·C’s Justine Skye Iridescent Pressed Powder | Reviewed

Posted in FASHION & BEAUTYTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , 26 Comments

JSkye“Never frown because you never know who might be falling in love with your smile.”_ Justine Skye

 

M·A·C has teamed up with a visionary group of women shaping music’s future in a series of limited-edition collaborations.  M·A·C teamed up with Brooklyn native and violet-haired R&B singer Justine Skye woos online audiences with her velvety voice and unstoppable presence. Her easy glamour and confident eclecticism come together in a bright purple-pink Iridescent Powder for those ready for as much colour and charisma as Skye herself.  Justine SkyeXMAC iridescent pressed powder is now available.

Lately I’ve been obsessed with everything iridescent.  So when I saw the new Justine Skye by M.A.C. iridescent pressed powder I know I had to try it.  Pressed powers can be used in many ways.  I’m choosing to use this press power as a highlight.  The color is called Justine Skye offers a hint of soft purple along with shimmering pink pearl sheen.  This fun shade is long-wearing with buildable coverage and shimmery finish.  It comes in special packaging that features a purple glitter design with holographic silver accents and Justine Skye’s logo.

 

 

 

I love it.  It ready pops without having to use a ton of the product.  I used a slight hand and it showing up well on my brown skin.  I can see myself putting this press power on wet to get an extra glow.  This is a limited edition item from M.A.C. so I’m going to run out and get another one so I can have a backup.  I like it that much! You can get your own here.

 





As for the Starbucks’ unicorn drink. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm don’t waste your money.  It taste like food coloring and whip cream.  This is the first special Starbucks drink I purchase and didn’t like.  Unicorn are everything good and sweet and this drink simply wasn’t.  Sorry to report such bad news.  However I hope this save you money and taste buds, lol.

 

 

Beauties will you be getting Justine Skye iridescent pressed powder?  Will you trying the unicorn drink from Starbucks?

 

Product purchased and all opinions are my own.

HOW TO DRESS FOR BRUNCH

Posted in FASHION & BEAUTY, FASHION & BEAUTY, LIFESTYLETagged , , , , , , , , , , , , 12 Comments

Brunch OUTFIT
“Brunch is not a meal. Brunch is a competition. And I’m winning. ” _Matt Bellasai

.

.

 

Brunch is a combination of breakfast and lunch eaten usually during the late morning to early afternoon, generally served from 11 am up to 3pm.  The word is a portmanteau of breakfast and lunch Brunch originated in England in the late 19th century and became popular in the United States in the 1930s.

For me it’s a reason to dress up,  eat well and slip champagne with my girls.  Dressing well while having the goal of eating and drinking can be a little hard when it’s not a dinner event.  Daytime fashion can have you thinking am I overdressed?   Am I underdressed?
Well here’s my example of dressed up causal.   The top is trending while the distress look.  The skirt is encircled with knife pleats, an effortless midi skirt fashioned from blush-colored lamĂ© gleams with molten shine and is available up to size 3x or 24w.  In this Rachel Roy Pleat LamĂ© Skirt I’m wearing a size 2X.   I could have gotten a 1X.  It’s not to big because of the hidden zipping detailing.  I added a patent leather belt, neutral metallic shoe and a fun bag.  I’m ready for the required snapchat photoshoot or shopping after brunch.
.

What’s your favorite place to have brunch?  Do you dress up?  Do you dress down?
