Hey Loves,

I refuse to let this ultra rude weather of NY/NJ rule my life. So I am thinking ahead to the spring & summer time. If you follow me you know that I've already posted about swimwear. I'll definitely be adding to that post as the months go by. But this post is listing one of my favorite trends. ROMPERS!!! I love rompers. I know it's not a trend that works for every one, but for me I purchase at least 1 to 2 rompers every year. I mean you can never have to many rompers.

There are some that say plus size or curvy women shouldn't wear rompers, but much like a lot of things in fashion, it's all about fit. For me finding a good romper isn't easy. I'm tall with this big thighs, I need something that won't ride up or is cut too small in the thigh area.  And when you find a good one stick with it.

Hey Loves,

Being that I have the AWESOME new camera, I want to put it to full use. So with that, I finally recorded my 1st beauty haul. I have purchased quite a few great beauty products lately so I complied all of them into a nice video. Check it out and let me know if you would like to see more beauty haul videos.

Hey Loves,

This post will be slightly different. I get TONS of questions all the time about me personally and about my blog. So I figured I would finally do a post answering all of your most frequently asked questions. If in this post I haven't answered one of your most burning questions you can always email me or tweet me. Keep reading!

Hey Loves,

It's that time again! If you've followed me for the last 3 years, you know that every year on this day; February 21st  I make a point to wear an all black ensemble. Why you may ask? Because today marks the 49th anniversary of the assassination of Malcolm X. Check out my posts from 2013 and 2012 (By Any Means All Black and Wearing All Black)

Hey Loves,

Yes you read the title right, there will be GIVE-A-WAYS at the Sweat N' Style latin heat party. I wanted a way to show my love and appreciation for ALL OF YOU. You guys have stuck it out with me over these last 3 years and it really does touch my heart when someone says I inspire them. Or when someone emails me and says they took my tough love advice.

I never thought I would have this long of a time in the blogging world, but you guys make it worth while through the good and the bad. So lets take a look at the list of PRIZES.

A special thanks goes out to every single brand/company that donated something. It is truly a blessing that companies are willing to support you and your ideas.













So as you can see there are some pretty awesome prizes to be won. I really hope to see all your lovely faces on March 8th in your favorite workout ready to Sweat N' Style! Click the link below to register.

Hey Loves,

Yes you read that title right. Eloquii is making a comeback and they are coming back with a serious vengeance. I wrote about them when they 1st hit the scene. And naturally felt "some kind of way" when they "closed" back during the summer. But they didn't stay down for long. I got a chance to take a look at the spring 2014 lookbook and I love the direction they are taking. It is a total difference than what they were a couple years ago. They are truly carving out their place in the plus size fashion market

Hey loves,

I get asked this question all the time. What is in my make up or beauty bag. So one day I decided to give you all a peek inside. To start I have quite a few beauty bags, I split them up between my face bag, my lip bag, and my brushes. But for this post we're going to dive into my face bag which also ends up being my everyday beauty bag. I tend to have some random things pop up in my beauty bag like tampons...U by Kotex of course!

Hey Loves,

I have to say the plus size swimwear market is blowing up. Plus size, curvy & thick women will be showing out at the nearest beach & pool. This is part to to my Plus Size Swimwear post, so many brands are releasing great options that I had to do a part 2. Let's get into them.

Hey Loves,

If you follow me on instagram and Facebook (if not you should be :)) You know that my birthday just passed (February 12th). I made plans to go out to dinner with the guy & some friends. I can wholeheartedly say that this was one of THE BEST birthdays I've ever had. I was blessed with great food, great people and AMAZING gifts. More than I could ever imagine.

Hey Loves,

I am so happy to announce that I am having my VERY 1ST BLOGGER EVENT *twerk* lol Yes loves, I'm so excited, and this has been a long time coming.

Hey Loves,

And we're at it again. This the 3rd look in my Foxcroft lookbook. I decided to style both shirts that were sent to me in 2 different looks. This the send look came up with. It was partially inspired my one of my favorite bloggers Ivory. I am so grateful to Foxcroft for the being open to sponsoring my 1st blogger event that is coming up in March. Keep your eye out for details on that. So now on to my outfit.

Hey loves,

So I am excited to say that I will be having my 1st blogger event YAY!!! Details on the event will be released in the coming days so keep an eye on my social media platforms for details. But I'm excited to say that it is Because of Foxcroft Collection that my event will take place. I have teamed up with this awesome clothing line to put this event together, and to try out some of their pieces. And if you stick around you can have a chance to win a blouse of you own. I've always loved Foxcroft as brand, so when I got the chance to style a couple of their shirts I couldn't resist. This is look 1 of 4 that I put together. Let's get into it.
