Inspired By Film Noir in This Riveting Ruched Dress From Kiyonna

Sometimes, I want to change in my bright colors and go for a classic, sexy little black dress. I love putting together looks that are dark, mysterious, with a little edge to them like the Film Noir heroines of the 40s and 50s! This Kiyonna Riveting Ruched Bodycon Plus Size Dress* is everything my film noir-loving, LBD-craving, fabulous dress-wearing heart desires!

Plus Size Bikini: Blue Always for Me Swimsuit

Plus Size Bikini: Blue Always for Me Swimsuit

When I was planning for my trip to New York City for Full Figured Fashion Week and the Golden Confidence Pool Party, I absolutely could not decide which swimsuit I wanted to bring. So what’s a girl to do when she can’t decide? She takes all 3 and has a few outfit changes during the event! This Always For Me Sundance Plus Size Bikini was one of my favorites, and I had to give it its due at the pool party!

Swim Diva! Rue 107 Plus Size Swim Suit

When I was planning my poolside outfit for this year’s Golden Confidence Plus Size Pool Party, I could NOT decide which one of my swim suits to bring! I wanted something dramatic and unique…and I didn’t to show up in something that another fabulous curvy lady was wearing! I ended up finding the perfect DIVA-RIFFIC two piece swimsuit at Rue 107.

This Rue 107 Miami Bikini Top comes in the most lovely purple-pink color and has these amazing sheer mermaid sleeves. So different and so dramatic! And the bikini bottoms are navy and white stripe with a luscious fruit and foliage motif. I love the way they paired together. So unexpected!

Golden Confidence Plus Size Pool Party 2016 – Event Recap

This year, I was thrilled to be able to travel to New York for Full Figured Fashion Week 2016! I’ve never been before, so this was a huge deal for me…and when I heard that Essie Golden — the amazing blogger behind the #GoldenConfidence movement — was hosting her second annual Golden Confidence Plus Size Pool Party, I knew that I HAD to be there! So, I extended my trip and added another weekend! The party was held at a very nice rooftop pool at the Holiday Inn Midtown in Manhattan. I had a blast…so many gorgeous curvy ladies to talk to and compare fierce swim suits! It was a  bit of a dream come true! So…on Saturday night, I grabbed a taxi and headed to the pool party!

My Favorite City Chic Dress: The Succulent Sweetie

I fell madly in love with this City Chic Succulent Sweetie dress the moment I saw it in Nordstrom over a year ago! The PRINT — SO vibrant and bold…and unexpected!!! I mean…succulents? On a dress??? And it’s not just any dress…it’s this amazing fit-and-flare party dress that’s made out of crepe de chine and has a fabulous tulle underskirt to make the skirt stand out…just so! It’s a win from top to bottom…and you can see I felt like a million bucks in it. And…lucky you — some sizes are still available in this dress at City Chic, Macy’s and Bloomingdales. Snag one if you can!!!
