Outfit of the Day

Today was my first full day back after traveling for work and of course I spent much needed time with my little man. Before I could do that I had one quick meeting I needed to attend so I wore something nice enough to get contracts sign but easy enough for me to convert to Mommie.

What I wore my Favorite Pink Anne Klein Blazer , White Mossimo Tee ( available at Target), Blue Crop Pant from Lane Bryant, Shoes from Lane Bryant( over a year ago) Jewelry (mine)

What's in the bag?

 

I carry a lot of stuff around everyday, between work during the week and my son on the weekends. I needed a bag that had great straps and lots of room so I chose my Louis Vuitton Neverfull PM( Compliments of Jessie G) and it works wonderfully. Now for all the stuff inside on a normal day, from left to right:

Back from vacation

I am so happy to be home( and now I need another vacation)! I have been traveling all over the Caribbean, we went to Jamaica, St Lucia and Barbados. We had a wonderful time just chilling and relaxing. Because of what I do I am always scouting for my clients, FFW. When we went to St. Lucia not only was it beautiful but there were some of the most beautiful plus size women in the world, as well as the men that love them. We stayed at the Jade Mountain resort, and as amazed as I was with the beauty of the resort, I was more amazed by the plus size women who carried themselves with respect , honor and pure fabulousness! One of the gentlemen told me" Women like you are considered a Jewel".. Yes we are, love yourself and be proud of who you are.

Plus size and the heat!

Hello All!
As most of you know I have been traveling a bit, for pleasure(usually its for business). The last couple of weeks I have been in Texas where it feels like 110 degrees everyday. So we spent a lot  of time at the pool and we are going to the Caribbean next week. So it is important that I have great swimwear.
For most full figured women going to the pool, being fashionable is a must and yes I am one of those women. Last year I had a horrible time trying to find the perfect swimsuit, however this year I had a couple of them sent to me by clients and I am going to tell you my absolute  favorite ones.

This one is from Mod Cloth and it fits very well. I really love this suit because it it truly flattering. and very reasonably prices.This is a great suit if you really want to swim and still look cute.

My other favorite is from Monif C.When my client told me that she was sending me this suit, I was so excited. I remembered when the ad was shot for Monif C swimwear, I was telling myself I have to have that suit! This swimsuit is sexy, classy and flattering. This is one that all full figured woman should have in there closet. This is one of those " look at just how fabulous I am swimsuits!


So just keep in mind that whether you are a size 2 or 32  you can find a great swimsuit.



Chow for now and love yourself!

This Raging Heat

As most of you know I am originally from Houston and I went back home this week to visit and work. I still have my family home there and OMG the heat. Being away from here makes me realize that it is toooo hot in Texas. But of course us FFW still have to look good and being stylish is the name of the game. Today I wore one of my favorite dressed from eShakti, this dress was $69.95, but now it is on sale for $59.95.They have some of the cutest clothes and they are having a great sale. Love this place! Thanks eShakti for keeping us stylish even in this heat!

Your Foundations

Today I am going to share with you something that has been on my mind for sometime. Full Figured Women letting it all hang loose. Now there is nothing wrong with loving your body, because I love every inch of mine. However there is a right and a wrong way to carry yourself.Last week, I was on a job and the designer was casting models. His clothes are wonderfully elegant and he is a very well known designer. This is the first time that I was able to talk him in to using actual FFW( Full Figured Women) so of which are friends on my Facebook page.

Needless to say that most of these ladies are stunning, totally and completely beauty. Most of them were very well put together, then there was those who had left the house without the proper foundations. Now use like a house, if you build it with a bad foundation or it has a crack in it's foundation it is going to crumble, correct? So why would you leave the house without yours?

Ladies, your bras, underwear, panty hose, SPANX are all a part of your outfit, they hold you up and in, they smooth you out. They make your perfect outfit look FABULOUS!!!!  If some of the most famous Skinny women wear them, Kim K, Gweneth Partrow, Beyonce, then you know they must work. There is nothing wrong in loving your body, but if you look in the mirror and there are things out of place there is nothing wrong with loving your SPANX.

Chow for Now,

Full Figured Monday Inspiration

This weeks inspiration is non other than Whitney Thompson, I really love Whitney. I had the opportunity to meet her at a shoot that I was doing with a client and she is the bomb. Not only is she a Full Figured model , but the first plus size model to win on America's Next Top Model( cycle 10).
Whitney received favorable reviews on her looks and photo shoots on and off. She was often accused of being too beauty pageantry and was even once compared to Anna Nicole Smith (who's idea was it to turn her into a blonde anyway - oh yeah, Tyra's) We all know that Anna Nicole was Beautiful!. Despite the negativity she managed to maintain and win the title. Whitney this weeks FFF.
