Snowpocalypse

I wanted to start out by saying thanks to all my Fabulous readers for not abandoning me over the last week . You guys rock and I love all the comments and e-mails I get from you all. So I'm sure you all know (via the news) that the east coast has been getting hit hard with blizzard after blizzard . However for Philly this is our third blizzard (over 20 inches of snow) this winter and the second and third were within one week. Philadelphia has had over 40 inches of snow in five days. The city has been shut down completely, meaning no school and for most no work . Usually I would use this extra time to catch up all things fashion and my school work but I've been doing everything except that . I've just been being lazy,reading books, watching movies,cooking, and even playing  in the snow . Anyways NY fashion week is coming up so I should be getting back to usual level of blogieness soon.

So I had to take out the trash and decided to bring my camera so I took some pics while I was out there ,this is what it looks like in my neighborhood. It was super creepy outside because no one was out and it was so quite, but I have to admit it is kinda beautiful.

Do you notice anything different? Yup I got a new camera no more blackberry pics. Yaaaaaahhhhhh.....

I thought this dude was funny as hell. It's not exactly new but I had to post it .

OOTD/Blackberry pics

I haven't posted any pics lately so I wanted to do a OOTD. Me and my friends went to $2 Tuesdays the other night so I finally had a good reason to get dressed up  .I needed to get out of the house and have some fun and I was too happy cause this also  gave me a chance to wear my black sequin blazer for the first time. Before I left the house I got my sister to take some pictures of me.I had a few pics that were taken at the club but I decided not to post them because drunk and hot is not a good look on me . After looking at the pics I was like, I wish I would have wore all black.When I was getting dressed my thought process was I wanna do black with a pop of color, but my color didn't have enough pop to it .It's all good though, I got compliments I had a lot of fun and I met a cute boy (honestly not so much cute but definitely fly)so the night was good .

• Skirt -Alloy
• Top-Oldnavy
• Tights -Torrid
• Belt-Ross (wore  the belt backwards so only elastic part would show)
• Shoes- Endless
• Jacket-Yours
  

O and look at my hair, I got rid of the short do and went back to long hair.I'm glad I tested the short look  out first cause I missed long hair . Even though short hair is in right now and i love the way it looks on Halle and RiRi  it's just not me. I'll take Sher over Halle any day...

2010 Golden Globes

The Golden Globes aired tonight and like many I wanted to see who would take home a globe but for me the real show was on the "Red Carpet".The Golden Globes is a eclectic mix of Hollywoods finest, actors from our favorite shows, and every thing in between.With this diverse mix of people there's the potential for all types of fashion hits and misses .As this was only the GG's and not the Oscars my expectations were not that high. None the less if you show up,you must show out.These are some people who I thought did just that and some I think should ummm,just try again.

First I wanted to talk about some of our fellow fatty's Monique,Amber,and Gaby .

Amber- (I could not find a decent picture of her from last night so I'll post a picture of her dress when I track one down.)

Gabourey Sidibe- I really like Gaby and I think she has a beautiful spirit.With that being said I have to say that every time I see pictures of her I'm disappointed. I think she is in serious need of a stylist (I'm available.) However compared to some of the things I've seen her wear in the past this is one of her better selections.Even though I feel that there are way better options out there she looks pretty good overall. I just wish I could see her in something that was actually age appropriate or on trend. I'm wont talk about hair and makeup, since it was raining everyone gets a pass on that .

Monique-Monique was beautiful as usual.She wore a strapless gold Reem Acra dress and minimal accessories .My only complaint  is I feel like I've seen her in this dress before.I would love to see her try a bold or bright color.

 Loved It

Hated It

 Me and my sister went back and forth about who should be on this list and we only agreed on two spots off the whole list.I know we all have different taste so let me know what who you guys thought were the best and worst dressed.

Deco Den

OK so when it comes to accessories I  love anything that's over the top glam or sparkly . My cell has a zebra pattern rhinestone case on it that's cute but I'm quickly getting tired of it. Recently while online looking for new cases I came across Deco den.I don't know much about it, but from what I found  Deco den really popular in Japanese culture and is basically  over the top decorations on all types of accessories like phones and any thing you can put gems on . As I searched the web for more deco den I found girls who had went all out and adorned  there phone ,cameras , key chains, and even their  nails in deco den. For a lot of people this would be way too much but as soon as I saw how flashy ,extravagant,and  just all out loud  this stuff was I fell in love with it . If any one knows anything else about Deco Den or  knows were I can purchase a deco kit please comment or email me . I haven't had much luck finding a place that wasn't sold out of deco kits . Lastly I'm really curious  to know what you ladies think of  Deco den .Do you all think its trashy or do you think its fab?

After searching high and low I've narrowed my findings down to a few fab pieces that I promptly ordered.  .Since I hate to keep secrets from you guys I decided to post my findings in hopes to make your search for the perfect cocktail hour accessories a lot easier.

BLACK OUT (TREND ALERT)

I might be jumping the gun a little by saying that black is a trend cause I can't remember a time when black wasn't in. However what I am talking about is all black from head to toe.The release of "Run This Town" is not my reason for this although it doesn't hurt my my case.Sum of the most fab fashionistas have been seen lately running around in all black this Summer.Who can blame them ? All black is always chic and lets not forget the sliming effect black is really hard to do any wrong by.With the last few summers being dominated by everything colorful,seeing all black is refreshing . Ladies take note all black is back.

Denim

Lots of girls(not just plus size) avoid jeans . Denim can be uncomfortable , and most times they never fit quite right . Having gone through this problem many times myself I know how hard it can be to find the right pair. So I decided to show you sum options that work well on most plus size shapes. your options are not limited to these but they are a good start.

The skinny

Allot of people will say that bigger girls should stay away from skinny jeans, but DON'T listen to them. Skinny Jeans are so in right now and more than likely they will be for a while . There is no reason any plus size girl should not have a few pairs of great fitting pairs of skinny jeans in their wardrobe. When looking for the perfect pair of skinny's keep fit in mind . Yes your skinny jeans should be skinny, but they should not be so tight that you can't breathe . Alos remember that if you find a fab pair that you like but don't fit quite as skinny as you would like don't discard them you can always have them tailored for around $5-$9.

Wide legs & Trousers

Trousers and wide legs are perfect for almost all body types. With a simple shoe change from a flat to a heel a well fitted pair can take you from day to night easily.trousers and wide leged denim are also good for sliming your tummy or evening out top heavy figures.

Right Fit denim trouser Lane Bryant $39



Cate Wide Leg Trouser Svoboda $118


Trendy Jeans

When it come to trends it's best not to splurge. What you like this season you may hate next season. Another thing about trends is they don't always work out. Depending on body type or the way you wear them trends may be fab or a mess so just have fun expirmenting with them .

Naoim Sims dies at 61

Sadly the beautiful Naomi Sims has passed away from cancer at the age of 61. Naomi was the first black super model.In 1968 She was the first black model to appear on mainstream magazine, Ladies Home Journal . Sims also appeared on the covers of Essence,Life, and Cosmo. Ms.Sims was a trail blazer and paved the way for the young black super models of today.My deepest sympathies go out to her family.
