Plus-Size Designer Duds Coming to Saks Fifth Avenue!

July 27th // 2 Comments

As of right now, the largest size available by a high-end designer at Saks Fifth Avenue is a 10. Come fall, that is all about to change! Labels like Chanel, YSL, Dolce & Gabbana, Alexander McQueen and Fendi will be offering pieces up to a size 14 or possibly a 20.

The downside is that these items will only be available in New York – however, if all goes well you might see plus-size designer duds in Saks‘ all over the country in the future!

What do you think? A step in the right direction?

How to Update Your Plain White Tee

December 1st // Comment Here

As easy and comfortable as it may be to pair your favorite white t-shirt with jeans, it is a lot more fun to mix it up with a statement mini. It’s one of my favorite simple and sexy outfits right now.

These are my suggestions for the perfect mini to go with your tee:

Arden B

Arden B, Exposed Zipper Floral Skirt $44.00

Torrid

Torrid, Black and Gold Animal Spot Ruffled Miniskirt $34.00

If you get a little chilly, these skirts look great with tights!

Love,

Fit for a Queen

October 28th // 2 Comments

I’ve always admired Queen Latifah’s ability to make clothes work for her—while still looking fashionable and amazing. So I recently took a moment to figure out how exactly she pulls it off. Here’s what I came up with:

One:

It’s all about the waist! Don’t hide in drapey clothes that hang straight from your shoulders to your knees. Look for pieces that define your natural waistline.

Two:

Jeans are tough no matter what your size, but a perfect-fitting wide-leg jean is always key. Make sure you have a snug fit through the butt and that the legs have a slight a-line (not flare!) cut.

Three:

Always opt for the knock-out evening dress. Show off those shoulders and highlight those curves. Just be sure to watch the fit. Too tight will only make you look uncomfortable.
