Chicsters I feel like I haven't posted, in forever but I've been putting in that "Work Work Work". I've got a few things in store for you guys in April; one of them being my first Free styling e-guide. To get the Trends for your Body Type Guide delivered directly to you Sign up Here. Also dont forget to enter my Spring Giveaway details are in the description below the video Here.


So if your Subscribed to me already on YouTube you would have already seen this Haul; however since I know you are all not Subscribed to me ( insert sad face emoji) on YouTube, I thought I would share my picks here. 

Most of the pieces are under $50 with the exception of a few, so the items are pretty affordable. Even though I didnt keep everything I still thought I would share; for each item I gave a brief review ( notable features , sizing and pros and cons etc.). 

SHOP THE POST


Typically as I said, I dont post my YouTube content on the blog, cause I like to keep the content fresh on each platform but I made an exception this time. However If you would like me to continue to share seasonal Hauls here on the blog let me know in the comments below.

ON THE TUBE

For those who dont know it I have a youtube channel. I started first making videos so I thought it was only fitting for me to start a series with my current favorites on youtube. The honest truth is that I dont watch t.v I watch youtube dont ask me about any shows on cable because I honestly will be clueless, aside form my guilty pleasure HBO(In Addition to Scandal "I  ♥ Kerry" and finally Homeland). Hope you like! 
BACKSYNCFAN
love thrifting and love reconstructing thrift finds. Unfortunately for me I have two containers filled with stuff I am currently working on. So she gets major points for following through and completing her reconstructions. I got so many ideas from this video hope you do too.


ALLTHINGSFAB101
Love Asia she has great taste. I just love everything about this look: the Midi length dress, the gold plated belt, the floral moto-cycle jacket, the autumn colors.........

                                                                                   
THEFASHIONCITIZEN
I really love these twin girls,they both work in the retail industry so you know they have dynamite taste. I am always intrigued/inspired by the combinations they come up with.

          

SUPPLECHIC
Of course I had to put one of my videos lol! shameless plug one of my favorite trends for fall is leather ; so I had do a look-book featuring leather and while thrifting I scored this amazing sequin jacket! literally I have had a sequin jacket on my thrift list for ever. So I was super excited when I found this one. I would have preferred black and gold or colored sequins but hey beggars aren't choosers.  Subsequently I decided  to include it  in the look-book and also to showcase how you can style up and old tee and jeans.



WENDYS LOOKBOOK
So with age I have become a hopeless romantic( to my dismay) and this video that was made by Wendys beaux almost made me cry. Most men who help out with youtube videos dont do it by choice and God only knows the cajoling that must go on behind the lens. I love how invested he is in her venture; you can see the love through the lens and wendy's rise characterizes the quote "two heads are better than one" kudos to you mystery man.


POPFABSUGARTV
Lastly I Love videos that show ways to wear anything and a jean jacket is a classic/staple. If you dont have one run to your nearest store and if you are on a budget thrift stores have loads. This video shows how versatile a Jean jacket is. Throw it on anything and it just tones it down it creates that "I am not trying too hard look".Furthermore I love the  concept of this video. I lust for the days when I will have the equipment and expertise to make such awesome video's, but I try to tell my self its  one step at a time. A one man crew can only do so much.



P.S I am always on the lookout for new channels, any suggestions?

CINQ CHOSES

It seems that of late I have become intrigued by all things french. Hence the title "five things" I think its because of the latest street style shots from Paris fashion week. Or it may be because the innate frenchman in me has surfaced. Frenchman? I took french of and on for about six years of my life. The funny thing about the whole thing is all I can say is "what is your name" and "my name is". I feel bad for my mom sometimes she really tried to make me cultured, french, piano ......... But all I wanted to do was draw and sing. 

Now here are my current five 
favorites:
Gabi FResh plus size blogger Slaying
Bloggers in Tutu's
           Pencil Skirts and TeesTee shirt pencil skirt and pumps
Leather sleeves
                                Anything and everything Solange
Leather Sleeve coat Solange ELLE south AFrica wearing African Designers                              











                                 


           








I AM loving the current explosion of plus size bloggers in TUTU's. As I said on my FB page I guess we all have inner ballerina's in us. As usual Gabi didint disappoint I also loved the outfit Gurl With Curves put together; if you are intrested in this style I know that forever21 has a few less expensive versions of the tutu skirt.
I could write a post just on the PENCIL SKIRT. The pencil skirt embodies my philosphy on style: it accentuates ones curves, it is sultry/sexy without being vulgar, its sophisticated and leaves room for the imagination............. 
Pairing it with a tee makes it modern and gives off that effortlessy chic vibe we are all trying to attain. 
Off course one of the biggest trends for fall is LEATHER and I have been obssesed with leather sleeves for about two winters  I am still trying to find the "right look" within my price point. I am crossing my fingers that it will happen soon. 
PRINTS!!! If you didn't know I am Nigerian, we love prints and all things colorful, bold and clashing. You can take the girl out of Naija but you cant take the Naija out of her.
Last but not least SOLANGE I am thoroughly intrigued by this woman; I just love her style and how she owns who she is. It cant be easy being her, but if her sister owns her music SOLANGE owns her style, her style is impecable! its the perfect mix of high, low, edgy, modern,  and vintage with an ethnic twist. My goal is that one day I will be able to work with her
( I am having a Stan moment ).

P.S  Rant alert!I need a HTML crash course I have spent literally four hours trying to place picture where I want them and trying to get rid of extra space really peeved feeling a little better now if the space wants to be there let it be!!
Ive got a Mini Look-book out on the TUBE check it out if you havnt already

BFSC: POOLSIDE

This is my last post for the BFSC I am elated literally; because these last couple of weeks have been posting OLYMPICS for me. I can see why people quit their jobs and become full time bloggers lol! 
I really wanted to shoot at the beach but there is no beach around here for hours. Which makes me miss New Haven, the beach was literally 5 mins away the funny thing is I'll probably be at the beach this weekend. So instead I had to settle with my sister-in-laws pool.I really love Rihanna style. Most especially her vacation style she is always on the cusp when it comes to fashion trends, swim wear included; I love the way she mixes her pieces.

BFSC: ISLAND STATE OF MIND

I am in serious need of a vacation,since that is a long way off I will console my self by dressing like I am on vacation. I am really having a citrus moment,I have been graduating towards colors like chartreuse/citron.I was so happy when I scored this 100% silk skirt (brand new)while thrift-ing it was definitely my score of the summer.

So happy that I have only three more pieces to cross off my BFSC list. I actually made this top three years ago when I was desperately on the hunt for a cropped bustier but couldn't find one that had big enough cups. I have to say I was definitely out of my comfort zone with this outfit cause typically when I wear items like this I usually, have to have a jacket or cover-up. Strapless anything (without outerwear) is a no-go area for me because of a combination of reasons my arms and bust. Wearing strapless tops especially when you are busty can be tricky finding the proper bra is key. Thankfully stores like Lane Bryant and torrid and brands like Fig-leaves, Just My Size and Bare Necessities are listening.   
P.S I have learned that the key to wearing crop tops when you are plus size is all about what you wear on the bottom 
hint:"high waisted"

BFSC:BABY NEON AND PRINT ( HIGH WAISTED)

I am so happy to have 3 items crossed of my BFSC list, I am still trying to come up with a strategic plan to get all the posts in by the 31st lol! So right now my focus is on finishing the challenge,I know it may seem like I have tunnel vision but I promise to post other content once the challenge is over.
When I spotted these scarf print pants at Target I did a double take.My love for palazzo pants has been growing and I had been seriously lusting for the palazzo pants at Zara, but unfortunately they have limited sizing.
Similarly my love for neon has increased exponentially.I spotted both pieces during a trip to target and I knew they would make a perfect combination.

Tee, Pants and Sandals: Target  clutch:Vintage Watch: Micheal Kors

Target is one of my favorite places to shop because they are a wonderful source for trendy inexpensive pieces,they go up to 3x in straight sizes, they have a plus size section and extended shoe sizes.
P.S Thanks to Chanelfiles I have added additional(Target)items  to my never ending list of wants Lord help me!

BFSC:(SEQUINS) SHORT SHORTS!

I have amassed a mini arsenal of shorts and I wondered which pair to wear,I didn't want to do denim cut off's; had my eye on a printed pair at target but didn't buy them. 
Finally I decided on my scalloped sequin-esque shorts that I bought in the winter from F21+.I am more of an introvert so I really don't like things that bring attention to me so sequin during the day is a bit of a stretch for me.
  However for awhile now I have been intrigued by the thought of wearing them for day because they are definitely night time shorts and "not something I would normally wear" for day.


how to wear sequin shorts F21+

There was a time I wouldn't be caught dead in shorts because I didn't think I had the body for them, in my mind only girls/women who where a certain size could pull them off. 
I don't know when the change happened but slowly I stopped caring about what others thought of me (don't get me wrong sometimes I get an off day) and I decide to be free of sleeves and jeans in the Heat.

My message is wear what you want (as much as possible make sure the style favors your body type)forget about physical imperfections ( we are all imperfect in some way its just more apparent with some of us)ill say it again WEAR WHAT YOU WANT.


Tunic : H&M ( get similar HERE HERE) Shorts: F21+ (get similar HERE HERE HERE

If you have watched any of my vids on YOUTUBE you would know how much I adore multi-purpose clothing so I styled them for day tell me, how did I do. 

P.S we are having a ridunculous heat wave I guess we are paying for the mild winter, and all I want to do is stay in my temp controlled home, but I have about NINE items to knock of my BFSC list! and about 3 weeks to go.

BIG FAT SUMMER CHALLENGE: WEAR A MAXI

If you are curvy/plus-size/fat/full figured then I know that at one time or the other you have struggled with summer time attire.
So if you dont know what the Big Fat Summer Challenge is it is a challenge that requires us to wear certain items within a certain time frame (started by Jennifer of jasiferlionsclub )

big fat summer challenge

The challenge is designed to get us to try other fashion alternatives as well as get us out of our comfort zone.

For someone who loves fashion as much as I do I am usually very practical about what I buy, and also tend to buy classics. 
I really dislike spending money on trendy items for multiple reasons, but mostly because I have a pretty rigid budget and also because I thrift shop. Anyway I was on the look out for a chiffon maxi skirt; so when I spotted these bad boys in the non-plus section of Forever 21 my heart did a little dance.
P.S Just realized that I pretty much wore head to toe forever21
