From the Ground: What I wore

What do you wear to an eco-friendly fashion show?

Why vegan leather, glasses, and a beanie of course!

Hat:  Forever 21 (similar)
Glasses:  Coach  (similar in black)
Scarf:  Storiarts
Jacket:  Buffalo (similar)
Tee:  Max Studio (TJ Maxx)
Pants:  GAP
Bag:  Kate Spade
Booties:  Target

Actual conversation with my husband during our "photoshoot" (I use the term loosely).

Him:  "You're wearing LEATHER to the GREENTOPIA fashion show?  Someone is going to throw paint on you!"

Me:  "It's pleather."

Him:  "THEY don't know that!"

And that, ladies and gentleman, is one of the many reasons why he is awesome.

I later learned that the cool way to say pleather is "vegan leather."  How chic.  How green.  How devoid of any negative connotations established in the late 80s and early 90s...

PS- Those Target booties are "vegan suede."  Can't say the same for that Kate Spade bag though...

Happy Friday!

How to Dress Like a Blogger in 5 Min or Less

Going to event?  Want to look like a blogger without really trying?

Try this foolproof approach.

First, put your hair up in a sock bun.  No sock?  Just slap it up there like you're late for ballet class.

Then, touch up your makeup.  Some powder to reduce shine, a bold lip because that's how bloggers roll, and mascara so you don't look like a naked mole in photo ops.

Speaking of photo ops, want to know how to look smarter in them?  Wear glasses.  The nerdier the better, but not too nerdy.  You need to be geeky in that chic kind of a way...  Think avante garde artsy girl, not crazy cat lady.

Next, put on a baseball tee (not a real one, silly, a slouchy slinky imitation one) and a pair of distressed boyfriend jeans.

Whatever you do, do not forget a statement necklace!  The bigger and blingier, the better.  And be sure to wear a minimum of seven bracelets.

Finish with designer handbag and completely impractical, but hot shoes.  Super high with studs and/or animal print is recommended.

Viola!  Instant. Blogger:

What I Wore to RWM September Launch Party at the Del Monte
I call this look:  "Hi. I'm a fashion blogger."

What do you think?  Have I discovered the recipe for instant blogger?

I think I nailed it.  For.  Sure.

Pretty and Plus-Sized

Beauty, might come in all shapes and sizes, but finding on-trend plus size clothing can be challenging.  The fashion world seems to forget that the average woman in America wears a size 14 - far closer to the plus size shop that the juniors department size 0 walking down every runway.

Since lack of shopping options can be frustrating for fuller-figured women, I wanted to make sure that I catered to all sizes with my personal shopping business.  I am dedicated to finding wearable, affordable fashion for everyone.  I love making my clients' lives easier by saving them time and money.  No need to waste hours walking the mall only to come home empty handed.  Let me design a virtual catalog just for YOU based on your needs, your style, your size.

Let me show you what I'm talking about.

I've been busy curating a bunch of catalogs on shopyourway.com and right now I'm pulling pieces for my Pretty and Plus-Sized look book.

Right now it includes favorites from Sears, Kmart, and Lands End, but over the next few weeks I'll be adding more pieces from other brands and clothing lines.

What do you think?

Love the idea of your own, personalized online catalog?  Want me to shop for you?  Sign up as my client here.  It's fun, and best of all, it's FREE!  Oh, and I'm giving away $100 to one lucky client. ;)

Can not wait to shop for you - be you a 2 or 22 ;)

PS- What's your favorite place to shop plus?

  

Style Me May

This month I teamed up with Hilary Rushford of Dean Street Society for her instagram style challenge #StyleMeMay.  It was so much fun!  One of my biggest challenges every morning is deciding what to wear, so having a little style inspiration goes a long way - not to mention that knowing you''ll be posting a picture of your outfit every days gives you some added incentive to get it together.  Ha!

 

I'm sure it comes as no surprise that I have a little blogger crush on Hillary; between the bangs, the clothes, the theatre background, and her having my dream career - it was destine to happen.  If you aren't familiar with Hilary and Dean Street Society - you have to check it out...anyone who signs their posts "with grace and gumption" is a good egg in my book.  This girl is fan-tastic and one of my favorite blogger/stylist/brooklynites period.

Here was the challenge:

Here I am in some of my favorite #StyleMeMay looks:
