8 Items You Need To Survive a Polar Vortex aka Winter

GLOVES // VEST // SWEATER // CAMEL COAT //  TRENCH COAT  // SCARF 
// BEANIE  // BOOTS

Being a former New Englander I fully grasp and have a sense of appreciation for winter. So when I hear locals ( people in the DMV) talk about winter weather when their is just a sprinkling of snow on the ground I get amused.

However this week was something else and according to the news all we are/were experiencing is/was a Polar Vortex. Honestly it probably wasnt that cold but it was the first real taste of winter  ( it was so cold that it made me think of New York holiday weather minus the snow) we've had this fall and I can definitely say that I wasnt ready for it.

So if you are like me and you need to get ready and to add a few items to weather prove your wardrobe then look no further all is here. I'm all about those little extras that can just elevate an outfit. Which is why if you only get one thing I suggest you get this fur vest from Nordstrom. Stay cozy my friends ( in my best dos equis voice)

pas de DEUX

 

As promised here is part two;

Lately I have been gravitating towards the black and white palette and consequently I have purchased a few clothing pieces with that color combination.

The sun dress is the quintessential summer staple, it even has "sun" in its name.

During Full Figure Fashion week I spotted this dress and i knew it was coming home with me.I love this dress for three reasons it has a palm print (vacation!!), it was thirteen dollars and it features the silhouette of the moment the "fit and flare".

For fall I decided to go for a "school girl" inspired look I layered a blouse underneath the dress and turned it into a pinafore. 

In addition the blouse was buttoned all the way to the top, a statement necklace and botties completed the look

depending on your weather you can go bear legs or if its a bit chilly add some tights.Their is just something I love about black tights and black botties 

DRESS, BLOUSE - H&M JACKET OLD - JC PENNY SHOES- TARGET

P.S I Got this dress from H&M ( I love the H&M's in New York City they dont make em the same)

FALL TRENDS

I think Fall is every Bloggers favorite season, especially in the last couple of years because you can play with textures and layer. For me I love FALL because its a relief from the scorching summer but still warm enough to enjoy being outside.

 New York Fashion week has wrapped up so I thought this would be the perfect time to do this post. I am playing catch up this year like I previously said but so far I like what I see for S/S 2013. 
However we have to get back to this season. 

Hands down my favorite trend and the trend that has been in my top five list four seasons in a row is the PRINT TREND and most importantly "mixing prints".

 It was personified this FALL in the printed Cigarette Pant and for me the J.Crew presentation encapsulated everything I love for A/W 2012

 EMBELLISHMENTS, LEATHER, HEAD TO TOE PRINTS, ARE THE NAME OF THE GAME PLUS THE EVER PRESENT MILITARY TREND

AND  THE COLOR FOR FALL................ IS OXBLOOD

ANOTHER KEY COMBINATION WAS BLACK AND GOLD I WAS GOING TO SAY AN ODE TO WIZ BUT THEN I REMEMBERED HIS WAS BLACK AND YELLOW

For more on A/W 2012 TRENDS click on the video

P.S The winner of the contest will be announced in my next video and on Instagram

SONSI FFFWEEK RECAP: Curves Connections & Cocktails Event & Be-YOU-tiful POP-UP PARTY

So if you are following me on any of my social media platforms you would know that I was in New York for FULL FIGURE FASHION WEEK ( click here for info). I attended two events the Curves, connections and cocktail event (Curvy Cabaret) and the Sonsi Be-YOU-tiful pop-up party. 
The first event I went to was the Curves and Connections event and the highlight of my night was having Fluvia Lacerda compliment my dress. 
I was exhausted can you tell from the picture,.... I am very shy so I have been trying to put myself out there; anywho it took all I had to walk up to her,and as you can see it payed off.
Unfortunately I didn't get any footage because I misplaced my camera, however I hope these pictures will be enough.

FULL FIGURE FASHION WEEK is an annual event and last year was my first time going, this year I was lucky enough to attend a  networking event 

( my first ever Press event) 

sponsored  by Sonsi which was the pop-up party.

I thoroughly enjoyed seeing/meeting bloggers, especially the ones I know virtually like Alyssa,Jennifer,Marcy,Jessica,Marie and many more.

  

 we were treated to h'orderves and there were stations where we could get 5 min manicures & our makeup done

We also got to preview Sonsi Swimwear as well as swak designs fall collection in addition there was a bra fitting station as well as a raffle (basically mini pampering sessions)

All in all it was an awesome trip although it was tiring; after the event I went shopping which is my favorite thing to do when I go to New York
(You haven't shopped till you've shopped in New York)
I ❤  NY

My Favorite spot currently in NY 5 Floors of Awesomeness

P.S Just wanted to say thank you to Sonsi for giving me the opportunity to attend their event and I hope to see them next year!
