7 Affordable Plus Size Lingerie Stores That Sell More Than Granny Panties

If you have ever felt bad cause you didnt like a gift you got on Valentines Day, but you knew his heart was in the right place then todays post is for you!!
Todays post is a two for one I will be sharing V-day gifts for her as well as where to buy Plus size lingerie.  For a while finding plus size lingerie was on heard off ( affordably any way) unless you count granny panties. You really had to dig to find anything good (flattering, fit). 


Thanks to brands like Cacique ( aka Lane Bryant) plus size lingerie is no longer a novelty.  So if you've been looking, whether you like to be Naughty or Nice Im sure you will find something great at one of the sites below. 
Also if your partner is in need of hints, gentle suggestions or ideas on what to get you for Valentines day I've included some gift ideas in widget below (all you got to do is just forward this post them). 

The first brand I wanted to talk about is HipsandCurves I found them on Instagram.
The next brand I wanted to talk about is AdoreMe I found out about them on Youtube and they for the most part are a subscription based service they sell plus and non plus lingerie you pay monthly to get the most bank for your buck but you can also just buy ( with no subscription)from them. 

The remaining brands do not just sell intimate but they do have a good selection; they are Nordstrom (they carry both the Ashley Graham line and the Dita Von Tesse line amongst others ), Simply Be, Yoursclothing, and finally Evans .

Psst... dont forget to accessorize (Lace Blind FoldTickler, Cuffs)

Red Culottes & Long Line Coat : 3 Ways to Standout at Work


plus size, culottes, old navy

red, culottes, trend
COAT // CULOTTES // PUMPS // BAG
 Have you ever felt your work wardrobe was boring, almost like a uniform and didn't show your personality. Well then today's post is for you. Even in the strictest of offices (dress code wise) you can still show off your flair for style with these three tips.

Before I delve in how are you doing, hope your having a great and productive day!  If you havnt already make sure to check this Post to find the Perfect Dress for Valentines day .

 First Tip is to look for alternative (modern) cuts like I have done here, rather than a traditional trouser I went for a Culotte, you could also opt for a Wide Leg pant or even a Cigarette pant . Before you dismiss Culottes for winter you could totally pair it with Boots ( Over the Knee or Mid Length ).

Next Tip is its all about details look for subtle ( possibly neutral or small) prints like a leopard ( like This) or a floral, look for added frills like in a Victorian Style Blouse, look for pieces with over-sized or military style lapels (like This), and interesting fabric choice like lace  ( luv this Lace Cropped Pant), velvet or jacquard ( Like these Pants)  etc

Final Tip you can always accessorize with seasonal colors; in winter burgundy or hunter green (like This or This) in summer pastels like Mint or Yellow.

SHOP THE POST


Its important to look and feel your best especially in the work environment (confidence stands out) because remember your outfit is what people see first. 
Will you be updating your work wardrobe ( where are your favorite places to shop for work  pieces), if you are make sure to take advantage of the end of winter sales going on now.

Psst...... be sure to check back on Thursday for a post on the best places to buy Plus Size Lingere

11 Affordable Date Dresses Valentines Day Edition




JACKET // DRESS ( on sale)  // PUMPS ( only $22)
If you have a hot date on valentines day and your not sure what to wear then today's post is for you!

Everyone style is different some people prefer to be modest ( aka sweet) others prefer to be sexy or sultry on Valentines Day in the end we want to look and feel our best and off course be admired. So whether your spending Vals day with a Beau (gift ideas for him HERE) or Best Girls I've linked pieces down below you will love.

I've noticed that I typically go for a sweet look around valentines day ( like last years Blush Pink Outfit). My tastes around this time of year is pretty typical  I like anything  pink, anything with hearts and cutesy things . So when I saw this Dress and the floral print I thought sign me up. The floral pattern on the black makes it perfect for cooler months and adds a little edge.

Tip: To add interest to any feminine look  add  something tough like a trusty Moto Jacket .  To compliment the floral print in the dress I went with an ankle strap Pump in the same hue as the florals in the Dress .

SHOP THE POST


The Dress it self  features a deep V in the bust ( has boning to keep it shape), a fitted waist with a belt and a petticoat to make the dress flare out . I recommend this dress because its quality and its definitely a classic so it will last you seasons. When you put on the Dress  prepare to feel like a mix between a 1960 house wife and a princess.

 I would love to know how your spending your Valentines Day? Will you be going on a date with the Beau, spending it with your girls or will it be a Netflix and chill kinda night?

9 Valentines Day Gifts He Will Love



I have a confession to make I haven't taken down my Christmas tree ( in my defense we have an old school tree that you manually have to set up)  please tell me I am not the only one! dont worry its coming down this weekend.  My sons solution is that we put a huge trash bag over it until Christmas, its a rather tempting offer. 

Hmm where was I going with this......... the point I was trying to make is that we have barely recovered from the last round of (gifting angst/anxiety trying to find the perfect gift  for your loved ones ) and now Valentines Day is less than a month away. 

As I have said previously when shopping for gifts for loved ones I like to give thoughtful gifts ( my definition of thoughtful, a practical gift that they either need or could really use). For example if you notice that your guy is that type of guy who dosnt believe in spending time grooming himself introduce him to Kiehls Brand ( he will probably fall in love) and a Clarisonic. If he always has cold feet do your self a favor get him some nice Slippers. All these gifts are practical, useful ( he will think of you when using them) and your guy will thank you for it.

The hardest time to choose gifts seems to be when relationships are new and  your just getting to know the person ( and you dont want to over /under do it). If you use the tip above ( regardless of how much you spend) you should be fine. If your in doubt stick to a $50 budget the Bow-Tie (luv this One too) and the Cardholder are all under $50.

SHOP THE POST


If you are looking for additional ideas check out This Post and last years more comprehensive post Here.
Hopefully you got ideas for gifts for him, remember you dont have to break the bank I guarantee you that the love/loving you give to him is his favorite gift. 

Psst..... I am thinking of doing a lingerie themed post let me know in the comments what you think. Also coming up next week is a date night themed post so stay tuned for that .

Blush Sweater dress and Pumps: Valentines Day Style & Outfit


forever 21, sweater, lace, dress

DRESS // PUMPS // CUFF // CLUTCH
Valentines day is exactly 10 days from today whether or not you are a proponent for valentines day there are still times where you want to get dolled up and look cute for your significant other or even for yourself. So if your not about that valentines day life then bookmark this post for when you just want to get dolled up.

The typical colors you see around valentines day are reds and pinks and I realized while prepping for this post that I dont have alot of pink and red in wardrobe; literally I have 5 items including accessories. Although I stay away from being cliche I still wanted to stick with the color theme for the day so I decided to go with blush pink.

  I was on a quest and when I walked into my local Forever21 this Dress (sold out online except size s, something  similar  Here )stopped me dead in my tracks I wish it was longer obviously but I am 5'8" so if your shorter than me and your hips and bum are smaller than mine this might look a little different on you ( it is a size large and I am between a 14-18, it also comes in black).

Blush pink seems to be a color that people tend to shy away from for two reasons one because its really close to white and 2 because they never know what to pair it with. Neutrals go really well with blush, so think gray , creams (like this gorgeous Shirt Dress) , camels and browns. If your not afraid of color green is also another that pairs well with blush.


I decided to pair the look with black pumps and a similarly colored blush clutch, my leopard cuff complete the look.
This post is a link up with  Jenesaiquoi.com ( who put together a cute and casual look for valentines) and hisandhersfashion ( whose look reminds us that you dont have to wear a dress on special occasions) so for additional Valentines Day inspiration go check out their posts!

30+ Valentines Day Gifts For (Almost) Every Type of Guy


 In less than three weeks it will be Valentine's Day ( Just when you thought you were done with gifts right) if your single well you don't have to worry about it but if you're not gift giving continues.I figured that 80% of my readers are female and I thought why not create a gift guide  for you ladies that are looking for gifts for your boo's.

As the title says I tried to think of great gifts for every type of guy. This Briefcase from Nordstrom is perfect for an executive; if your guy is into games he will love this retro GameBoy inspired flask. If your guy is into cooking I found some really great gadgets one of them is this in Home Barbecue perfect for grilling in the winter & for city dwellers with limited space also if he loves beer I found this make your Beer Kit from Sur La Table. If your boo loves the outdoors then he will love a Go Pro and this Annual Pass to all the parks in the United States; this pass also happens to be free from military families. A great gift for a guy who travels a lot would be a really good and durable Suitcase  like this one from Tumi that I found at Neiman Marcus ( they have an awesome Mens Shop). If your relationship is brand spanking new and your not ready to invest your mortgage I've got some thinking about you gifts too.

Sorbet : Pink Blazer & Blush Pink Clutch

VINTAGE PINK BLAZER SIZE 14


OLD NAVY ROCKSTAR JEANS BLACK SIZE 18

So this post was inspired by three things the pink fixation that took over the street style blogs early fall, Valentines Day and finally the fact that fondant/pastel colors where a big hit on the spring runaways(notting new). With the minus ten degree days we have been having lately I can definitely say I am ready for spring are you?

Last Minute His & Her Valentine Gift Guide

valentines his and hers

Its that time of year again the time of year when every one is "in love" and we are pushed by the consumer machine to express this love in the form of a material object. I personally prefer experiential gifts because unless your giving me a Chanel Jumbo Flap my memories/appreciation towards the object will fade; in a couple of years the chocolates, flowers and perfume will all be long gone . But if we make a memory together like seeing the Eiffel tower or sky diving or bungee jumping now thats something ill remember.  However if you find yourself without a clue of what to get your significant other I hope you get some inspiration from these items. I also made sure to included items that would be useful to both of you.

HERS
HIS & BOTH




PS. Makeup lovers will love anything from the RIRI HEARTS MAC collection; bag lovers will adore the PASHLI; scent hoarders will adore FLOWER BOMB. The on the go man will appreciate his portable charger; a man who likes his comfort will be grateful for the UGG moccasins; a man about his grind won't mind accessorizing with a $500 printed scarf and both of you can expand your language repertoire ( I.e. practice for Paris Fashion Week) by learning French together courtesy of ROSSETTA STONE.
