[Beau-Tea] Two Toned Lips

Two Toned Lips

" Make a statement with your lips"

Recently I worked backstage for Honey's Child Boutique at the Saint Louis Pink Carpet Fashion Show a Charity fashion show for Breast Cancer awareness . As you may or may not know it is traditional to wear all black when helping out back stage at a fashion show so that you are identified as staff.Wearing black posed as a dilemma for me because I still wanted to be able to showcase my support for Breast Cancer Awarness but it's almost impossible to do in all black apparel. So after throwing my thinking cap on I choose to rock a two tone pink lip.My "lip-spiration"comes from my curvy-licious cousin Chrissy who is always dressed to impress with flawless makeup to match.The key to achieving the perfect two tone lip is by choosing two colors in the same color family but different shades or two different colors that complement each other.For example if you have a bright red lipstick choose a darker second lipstick.Check out the close up of my two tone lips below!

[The Laydee Posh Look Book] Convertible Boots

 Convertible Boots

"From Boots to Booties"

There's nothing that brings my fashion heart more joy than an item that can serve multi purposes like these awesome pair of Studded Fold-Over Combat boots from Torrid. These convertible boots can go from boots to booties in a matter of second's, which in my opinion is a "Fall-buh-las" buy! What I love most about these convertible combat boots is that there wide foot and wide calf friendly, which is really important when your a Plus Size Beauty! To achieve a more edgy look you can wear them up straight and for a more softer ellobrate look fold them down and show off the killer studs.Check out how I rocked my convertible boots below.

It's finally my favorite season of the year,FALL!  That means it's time to swap out your summer wardrobe and open toe shoes and break out your cute jackets,tights, and boots! And honestly what better way to pair up your fall essentials then with the perfect fall dress. This week I stopped by one of my fav plus size stores Torrid.I went into Torrid on a mission to find bargain and while I was browsing the clearance racks I found two great transitional fall dresses. Both of the dresses I found screamed 90's fashion and when I was told by the sales associate that all clearance was buy one get one free I immediately fell in love. What I love about these two dresses where the color,style and print. They both have a velvety texture and really short flirty flow of the dress. Check out the details on my head to toe looks below!

A Touch of Class

"Break the Rules"


This past weekend I attended my father's Pastor Appreciation Ball to celebrate his 1Oth year as a Pastor. I had a lovely time and of course I did it in style!This fall a lot of my fellow full figured bloggers are challenging Plus Size beauties to ignore the rules and wear what you want! I feel that it's so important that you wear what you love and what makes you happy. So with that in mind I choose to stand out and break all the "so called rules" in a white cocktail dress wayyy after Labor Day by designer Monif C. My cocktail peplum dress by Monif C was purchased from Honey Child's boutique a boutique exclusively for full figured beauties located in Saint Louis,Mo.This dress is absolutely gorgeous and I must say I felt amazingly confident and beautiful and I looked the part too. I encourage each of you beauties to step out the box and create your own fashion rule book. Never let the world define your fashion footprint! Check out the picture below for more details!

[Fall 2013 Must Haves] Nike Dunk Wedges

"Nike Sky Hi Dunks"

 
I've always been a Nike girl so when I found out that Nike released there own version of wedge sneakers I had to share the news! The "Nike Sky Hi Dunk" wedges are a def must have item this fall/winter season and Nike was more than generous with the variety of styles. These Nike wedges come in suede, leather, various colors, and prints and even in plaid! What I love most about sneaker wedges is that are perfect for giving a casual look a kick and they personally make me feel a bit "Girly-er" because I know that I'm sporting wedges! Below I've listed a few of my favorite Nike Wedges and the links to where you can purchase them.

[Fashion Buzz] Nicki Minaj's Kmart Collection

The Nicki Minaj Kmart Takeover  


Nicki Minaj is giving Kmart so much life this fall with the debut of her brand new Kmart Collection that was released today. Each of her pieces stay true to the "Nicki Minaj Brand" which are evidently show cased throughout her entire line. Its without a doubt that Kmart has never had so many fresh, fly and fashion forward fabulous pieces on there racks I just know the "Barbs" (Nicki Minaj Fans) pulling tearing off the racks. I must admit I was a little nervous when Nicki Minaj annouced her line with Kmart and how she create a wearable collection mostly because her over the top looks that she's known for wearing and most of the time pulling them off. But suprisingly her line is both wearable and tasteful and I love her flirty dresses, and her use of animal prints, graphics, fun colors and denim. She defintly owns her collection through her photo campaign in which she rocks her own pieces like the true fashionista she is. Overall her line is nothing short of AMAZING and her sizes extend to a XXL in select pieces. The only let down for me personally was that among all of her fabulous clothes and accesories there were no shoes :(. Maybe there will be a shoe collection from her in the near future. Items are avaialbe for sale online at www.kmart.com but they seem to be have some kinks that they are still working on so that purchasing and pre-ordering will go smoothly. Below I have some of my favorite picks from the collection take a look and enjoy!

[The LaydeePosh Lookbook]Thrifting Edition

"Finding The Beauty in Thrifting"

I dedicate this post to my very patient boyfriend who spent hours with me in the thrift store this weekend with no complaints. -Love you Bae-
I'll be the first to admit that I've never been a fan of thrifting. For me the whole idea of wearing someone else's old clothes was not at all appealing. But after watching a lot of my friends find awesome steals time after time from the thrift store I thought I'd give it a chance. My Granny is the biggest thrifter of them all and she tried to get me and my sister into thrifting when we were younger but we were naive and never saw the beauty in anything "pre-worn".  Although I was disappointed in the lack of plus size apparel I came across at some of the thrift stores here in Saint Louis I was still able to come across some awesome steals. My goal is to share a thrifted outfit with you every month from now on. But check out the details below on my mix and match thrift fit date night outfit below.

What happens when some of the best full figured fashion bloggers in the game team up to create a Holiday collection of jackets? A fashion explosion!!! MYNT 1792 approached these bloggers because they loved there personal styles and knew that each of them could create five uniquely different but equally fabulous jackets, and boy did they deliver! I love how each of these ladies interpreted there personal style into each jacket while also drawing inspiration from other places.As much as I would love to get my hands on some of these jackets right now they won't be released for sale until November 1st.These trendy coats range between $108-$248 and because they wont be released till next month that gives you beauties plenty of time to set aside money for these "Fall-Buh-Las" jackets. But until then here's a sneak peek at each jacket and the inside scoop on where each blogger drew there inspiration from while designing these beautiful and very versatile pieces!

A CLOSER LOOK AT THE MYNT 1792 HOLIDAY COLLECTION



Nadia Aboulhson "I was really inspired by the early '90s and various Missy Elliott videos for this jacket.Making my dream jacket, and the fact that my readers can actually have access to it is incredible!"


Alison Teng "Being able to work with MYNT 1792 on a namesake jacket was a total dream come true! I wanted to create a piece that works for Southern California's mild winter, and incorporates a few of my favorite features-quilted leather sleeves, exposed zippers in a rich gold hue, and a convertible length for added versatility."



Kellie Brown "Creating a namesake jacket with MYNT 1792 was such a fun experience. I'm really into sporty looks right now, so I wanted to make a casual jacket that felt special. Anything convertible is a big win for me, so this jacket is a three-in-one. It's a three-quarter puffer coat, a vest, and a short sport jacket."



Nicolette Mason "I've been following MYNT 1792 for the last couple of years, and they've become one of my favorite emerging brands. Being able to work with the team from MYNT 1792 on designing my jacket was a dream come true; it was so fun to be able to create a jacket (a pink one, naturally) that was 100% my own vision — with added inspiration from their design team.

"The five girls included in the MYNT 1792 collaboration, myself included, all have distinct aesthetics and strong stylistic points of view — all of which I think come across really, really clearly in our jackets. At the same time, I know with 100% confidence that we could all rock all of the jackets in this collection without hesitation."



Franceta Johnson "I wanted to create an edgy, versatile, coat that could be worn as many ways as possible. This two piece trench can be worn as a dress, a vest, a crop and... well, a full trench, duh! I added some quilted sleeved because I will always be obsessed with them and a belt for a little more detail. I hope you guys love the design as much as I do!"

#1 NYX Matte Lipstick "Perfect Red Rouge Parfait" $4.99 (Purchased from Target)
My Review: This is seriously the perfect red lipstick! It applies on smooth and easy much like a high quality lipstick but for a great price! I definitely be adding more NYX to my makeup stock!

#2 NYC "Blue Rose $2.99 (Purchased from Taget)
My Review: I absolutely love this color lipstick.As far as application it was above average which should be expected for its price point.I have to say that I was highly surprised at its quality and not at disapointed.This lipstick is a def must have!

#3 Wet n Wild $1.99 "Its a Girl" (Purchased from Walgreens)
My Review: This lipstick required a little more work when applying.If you're a makeup rookie you may want to steer away from this brand because if not applied right you can give off the circus appeal.This lipstick comes off real loose and heavy when applied.On the bright side of things if applied properly you'll end up with amazing pink lips.Overall it was an ok lipstick but I won't be running back for more of this brand anytime soon.
