Finally a national pageant that truly represents the 67% of plus size women in the United states, Miss Plus USA! It's so exciting to watch curvy beauties compete in a pageant for a national title.To be honest im anxious to see what kind of wardrobe these beauties will be rocking during the pagent.I'm also really thrilled about the rapid progression that's currently taking place in the plus size community,however it would be awesome to see some of the nationally televised pageants like The Miss America Pageant allow women of all sizes compete because women come in a variety of shapes.If you'd like to apply to represent your state in the Miss Plus USA pageant enrollment is currently open online.What are your thoughts on the Miss Plus USA pagent?

[The Laydee Posh Look Book] Punk Chic
Punk Meets Curves
"The Butterfly Effect"
I was going through my closet and came across this really awesome high waist/high split maxi skirt I bought earlier this year on Ebay. As I was holding the hanger, I thought to myself "how could I forget to wear this bad boy this summer?!" Then suddenly my fashion light bulb switched on in my head and I came up with an awesome stylish summer to fall concept for this skirt,"ADD LEGGINGS!" And that's exactly what I did! Check out the pictures below for full outfit details!

Sweater Season is Here!
"Daddy can I have $500 dollars?!" -Hillary Banks (Fresh Prince)
I absolutely love sweaters! Cardigans, tunics,sweater dresses you name it I probably have it.But when choosing a sweater I always consider the 3 C's; cute-ness,color,and comfort.These are extremely important to me because nothing is worse than a itchy ugly sweater especially before a Ugly Sweater Christmas party.(yikes) I'm sporting a black and white color block tunic sweater dress from Target.After trying it on l immediately fell in love. Not only was it reasonably priced but it exceeded my 3 C expectation.For more details on my head-to-toe look take a closer look below!

[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.

"I channeled Clarissa Explains it All for these 90's inspired looks"
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!

"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!

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!"
