Phillip Lim x Target
It's that time again! Target has recently unveiled another fabulous designer collaboration and this time it is with designer Phlilip Lim. I am definitely excited about this collaboration as I have been eyeing the Phillip Lim pashli tote for quite sometime. The collection has a little bit of everything from work seperates to cool sweats and even some pretty awesome handbags and totes.Although I would surely splurge on the pashli which retails anywhere from $825 to $895, I would also love a cost effective alternative from Target! I love a good handbag so I of course will be at my local target as soon as it opens on September 15th to see what the collection has to offer.

How do you feel about designer collaborations with retailers such as Target? Are you planning to buy anything from the Phillip Lim x Target collection? What are some of your favorite pieces?

Outfit of the Day: Monochrome Mood
This outfit is actually from this past Sunday. For a trip to church I decided to go for a monochrome look an add a pop of color with my cute neon clutch from Zara. Something simple but fashionable. These Zara sandals are super comfortable and the gold accents are just right without being over the top. I know everyone out there has these sandals but I still love them. The tribal accent they have are a favorite of mine.
This forever 21 top is super old and this was actually my first time wearing it. Comfortable and chic.
Blouse and Earrings: Forever 21, Skirt: Dorothy Perkins, Shoes and Clutch: Zara, Watch: Fossil

Bobbin'
I decided to change things up for the spring and summer this year and cut my hair into a cute bob. Although I have really enjoyed this hair style, I must say that I am starting to miss my longer hair. I am thinking of getting a sew in for a while until it grows back out but I am not sure.
These pictures are over the last few months of wearing my cute bob. It has grown quite a bit in the back and the layers are not as pronounced anymore more are the sides/front drastically longer than the back. I miss the definition, but I definitely want it to continue growing.
No more haircuts for a while for me lol!
How do you transition after a haircut? Are you a fan of extensions or do you prefer natural hair?

Updated: Boyfriend Jeans for Plus Size Women
Have you ever wanted to try boyfriend jeans but were afraid that you would not be able to achieve the perfect fit because of your thighs or butt? That was my issue for quite some time. As the plus size fashion market grows and more and more brands and retailers begin to embrace the curvier woman, our options increase for different fashions that were not always as readily available to us. Often times I highlight trends and ideas here that are not necessarily plus sized but can be done by a plus size woman by just shopping her closet or purchasing a few key items. I have given you an example of a chic casual outfit with boyfriend jeans before, so I wanted to talk about some place where you can purchase plus sized boyfriend jeans.
Here are options at various price points for any of you curvy ladies out there that want to try the boyfriend jean trend.
FOREVER 21+

FOREVER 21+
If these jeans are not quite your style you can also grab a pair of men's jeans or other over sized jeans and do a DIY project to make a pair that suits your specific taste. Another great option would be to try a thrift store or Goodwill in your area to look for a good pair of distressed boyfriend jeans. Do you own any boyfriend jeans? Where did you purchase them from and how do you style them?

Brands to Know: Eshakti
While reading one of my favorite fashion blogs, Fashion Bomb Daily a couple years ago, I came across the brand Eshakti. I perused the site and of course read customer reviews and feedback (always do this if you are shopping online ladies! You find invaluable information about the brand and its products this way.) which I normally do before purchasing any product. I was pleasantly surprised at everything I read from their customer's as well as the array of cute dresses that the site had to offer. I had a few events coming up for my wedding so I decided to order a dress (or two) to wear to my bridal showers. This was a great decision! Eshakti offers the option to customize your order, meaning you can input your exact measurements and have the garment made to your specifications. This takes the guess work out of choosing a size and allows you to add or remove sleeves from an item or even add to or shorten the length of a dress or skirt. No need to take your items to the tailor once you receive them because the work has already been done for you. This is great for those of us with larger hips and smaller waist or those who have problem areas that they would like to camouflage while accentuating more appealing areas of our body. As a bonus, Eshakti allows new customers to register for a gift coupon to use with their first order and sends monthly offers to existing customers via email. Eshakti's sizes range from 0-36W so there is something for everyone! The quality of the items are also great. I have had some pieces going on 4 years and they are still in great condition. Shipping is fast and easy and I even received a free tape measure to use for measurements in the future. If you are in the market for a dress for a special event, casual wear, or new work garment, I would highly recommend this site for you. Have someone take your measurement for you if you have never done so and record them for future use (the website will allow you to create a profile and save this information for future purchases). Good luck and happy shopping!

Excuse the wrinkles(and the mirror picture). This is me trying the dress on straight out of the box.
