Eloquii Keeping It’s Brick and Mortar Store Is A Plus Size Victory

Posted in FASHION & BEAUTY, FASHION & BEAUTY, LIFESTYLETagged , , , , , , , , , 16 Comments

eloquii“Fashion for the style driven, fit obsessed customer.” _ Eloquii

Eloquii due to the success of their pop-up we will be opening a permanent brick and mortar location at Fashion Centre.  The Fashion Centre is located in Pentagon City and is also known as Pentagon City Mall, in Arlington, Virginia.  Eloquii will be keeping their current pop-up store open through the summer while they build out their new space a few doors down.  The permanent location is slated to open formally in early August.

Congrats to the entire Eloquii  team & I wish them much success!

This pop up shop opened 10 weeks ago and I’m hoping leads to Eloquii opening more stores nationwide.  Chicago for one, lol.  Eloquii pop up store found themselves featured in USATODAY’s article on Why plus-size stores edging into brick-and-mortar matters.  The article spoke on how plus-size consumer is expanding from brands and designers, it’s still lagging behind in one of the most basic areas of retail: The brick-and-mortar store.  The article goes on to quote J.C. Penney’s chief merchant John Tighe, “We believe the demand for plus-size fashion will continue to grow,” Tighe says, noting that special size markets “keep our brick-and-mortar stores relevant as plus-size customers prefer to try their clothes on before committing to a purchase.”  In this same article BuzzFeed writer Kaye Toal, a who covers plus-size issues said “Plus-size vendors being only online underlines this social expectation that fat bodies stay hidden,” she says. “With fewer physical spaces that are created for us and celebrate us, where we are welcome and our needs are met, we are being told implicitly that we don’t deserve those spaces at all. This is obviously not true.”

.

.

If you can’t make it to Eloquii‘s Virginia store don’t worry.  Eloquii is a title sponsor for 2017 theCURVYcon and I’m sure they’ll have plenty of items to try one there.

Grits&Biscuits Dance Party |Chicago| First Time Party Tips & #OOTD

Posted in FASHION & BEAUTY, FASHION & BEAUTY, LIFESTYLETagged , , , , , , , , , 1 Comment

GB 2017 8“I twirl on my haters” _Beyoncé

.

.

I first attended my first Grits and Biscuits party in 2015 and I’ve been in attendance ever since.  It gets better and better every year.  The first time I went I went alone. Year two my friend and her sister joined me.  This year year three those two came again along with their partners.  It’s great to come together with close friends and former classmates to dance to your favorite sings current and pasted.  The idea of peaceful partying never changes but the music evolves and I’m here for it!

GB 2017 5

Ladies I writing this post for you.  Many attend this event for the first time and make mistakes that I’m here to help with.  Here’s a few of don’t for Grits and Biscuits:

  1. Don’t wear heels – People come to dance and heels won’t cut it.
  2. Wear loose fitting clothes – Bodycon are super sexy however when dudes start bumping and grinding that dress might end up over your head, lol.
  3. Don’t get your hear done – Save your coins because your curls won’t last.
  4. Warm up – You don’t want to hear “Drop lock and pop it” and then you can’t unlock it once you’ve popped it.
  5. Don’t over pour – The music and the crowd’s body heat will have any person who’s had a little to much wasted fast.
  6. Don’t get made with a random dances on you – It’s a party it’ll happen.  Just move to the side and don’t make a scene.

Day two of my St. Louis trip centered Honey’s Child boutique first fashion show deemed a live look book.  Honey’s Child boutique took over the chic St. Louis roof top of Anew and turned into a plus size fashion runway.  The fashion show was hosted by Marie Dee of thecurvyfashionista.

This show not only offered a great view of St. Louis but an amazing up close and personal view of the latest in plus size fashion.  The show featured plus dresses, shirt, skirt and my favorite swimwear.  The swimwear just kept coming & coming and I was here for it!  I was able to snatch a piece for myself right from the runway.  The bomb piece will be hit the blog soon.

TIGER TEE AND PLEATED MIDI SKIRT| ST. LOUIS #OOTD DAY TWO

Posted in FASHION & BEAUTY, FASHION & BEAUTYTagged , , , , , , , , , 31 Comments

STL day 2 1“I’m not afraid of lions and tigers and bears.” _ Jazmine Sullivan

.

.

I’ve been obsessed with pleats since forever so when I saw this pleated chartreuse skirt I know I had to have it.  It’s prefect for spring summer and worked well for the first of many roof top events I attend this season.  This skirt was a true show stopper.  Oh and did I mention is has a front split.  Yes, the front split always you to show a little leg.  This high-rise waist skirt comes with smooth woven fabric.  The knife-pleat design skirt does run true to size.  Being 100% polyester the skirt is machine washable.

I paired the chartreuse skirt with a fun tiger tee that I cut the neck of.  The tiger tee and the clutch were the first items received from Zara.   You can see the look I wore on St. Louis day one here.  Zara has not completely turned plus size by any means.  However, Zara does have some items that a plus size girl can pick up.  Before you stop read and run out to Zara let me try you want I feel a plus size girl can get from the trendy store.  Pants are a no.  Zara pants stop at a size 14 and run small.  Tops are a maybe.  Zara tops like their dresses are hit or miss for a plus girl size 18 or smaller.  They have many “oversized” shirts and tees that a curvy girl could wear with no problem.  Accessories are a yes.  I think Zara is a great opportunity for a curvy girl to upgrade her bags game.  I personal love many of the looks Zara has to offer.  Their clothes really speak to my style.  I really to hope they expand their sizes.

I paired this fun look with a “Gold Digger” clutch and white flats.  For me this was perfect look for a roof top fashion show.  It was great to see Marie Dee of thecurvyfashionista hosting the rooftop show.  Her event is the next plus size event I’ll be attending from the 2017 ULTIMATE BUCKET LIST OF PLUS SIZE EVENTS.  Hope to see you there!

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.
