Fall Floral's

Hey Friends!

So I know I've been really MIA this summer things have been crazy for me. I'm trying to get re-inspired but I do have a few things planned for the blog so you can look forward to that. I'm looking forward to cooler weather because I'm so over the warm weather. It's still pretty hot here in California but it's cooling down at night. Are you ready for fall/winter? 

Spring back to basics!

Hello Hello!

I hope your all doing great, I've been so uninspired recently fashion wise, I think I was in a little fashion funk. But whenever I get this way I go back to the basics and what I know and to me that's black and white. I think I've been so fixated about wearing more color that I forgot about my favorite color combination black and white. So today's outfit is my back to basics spring outfit. 

Inspired by Taylor Swifts Grammy Outfit

Happy March Everyone!

Did you guys watch the Grammy's? I know it was a few weeks back but I love the Grammy's because it a fun awards show to watch and the fashion is also fun. I love watching the red carpet and one of my favorites in general is Taylor Swift so when I saw her on the red carpet I was inspired to create an outfit. 

Curves Around the World: Seasonal

Hello Gorgeous Friends!!!

So I'm late on my "Curves Around the World" post again but last week was crazy for me and I think I needed a break from my break. Any of you have the same feeling? But yeah this week's theme is one we have done a few times and it's Seasonal because we all live in different parts of the world so our season might be different. For me it's currently Spring. 

Curves Around the World: Lazy Sunday

Hello Beauties!!!

So I took a little blogging break but I'm back and I should have things back to normal, I know I've been saying that but things just always come up. So I'm trying to get myself more organized with the blog. But yeah this week we are starting a new list of themes with the lovely ladies of "Curves Around the World," and this week's theme is Lazy Sunday. My Sunday's aren't really that lazy because it's usually the day that I like to do errands but I do like to dress very comfortably. 

Curves Around the World: Favorite item of Clothing

Hello beauties!!! 

I hope everyone is having a wonderful day, Spring is almost here! Well technically here in California it feels like we skipped Spring and went straight to summer because the temperatures are already in the 80's. 

Pinay Curvies...Something Old

Hello Everyone! Sorry I haven't posted, we decided to postpone our "Curves Around the World" post for this upcoming week and it was perfect for me because it took me a little longer to recover from Vegas plus I got a bit of cold. I'm still not feeling 100% yet but I'm getting there. 

So for today's post is for Pinay Curvies theme for January and it's "Something Old." I wasn't sure what to wear because I'm the kind of person that doesn't really like throwing things away unless it doesn't fit me. So I have quite a few things in my wardrobe that you can consider old but I decided to pick out one of my older items that happens to be my favorite one as well. 

So the item I chose was my forever 21+ jean jacket, or should I say Faith 21 because I got this jacket when it forever 21 first launched there plus line and it was called faith 21. So you know that it's pretty old because since they have expanded there line quite a bit and its called Forever 21+. But yeah it's one of my favorite items in my closet and I wear it a lot, you can tell because I've already featured this jacket a few times on my blog already. This jean jacket is so close to my heart because it was one of the jackets I had when I was living in the Philippines and I wore it a lot, so it has a lot of memories attached to it. You can also tell that my jacket has gone through a lot because it's faded and it's starting to tear in a few places but it's still good. 

So I usually wear this jean jacket in the spring and summer and I haven't worn it in the fall or winter so I thought it would be a challenge to myself to create an outfit for the cooler weather. But actually right now in California it's been pretty warm, so I was happy that today it was a bit cooler. So when I was thinking of how to wear this denim jacket I was thinking how I always wear my faux leather jackets with denim, and I remembered that I have a pair of faux leather pants that I haven't worn yet. So that's how my outfit came together.

{Jacket, Tank & Pants - Forever 21+} {Scarf - H&M} {Shoes - Call it Spring}

So I decided to keep my whole outfit black to really highlight my jean jacket and also because I was in the mood to wear all black. But I did break up the black with my leopard print scarf. I like how my outfit came out even though I wanted to go for a more dressed up look and it came out more casual, I still like it. 

Do you have a favorite "something old" item in your closet?

Curves Around the World - Animal Print

Hey everyone, I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. I have a have some fun news, I was asked to participate with 4 other bloggers around the world to do a series of themed outfit post every Wednesday. I know a lot of the blogs that I follow have there own weekly themed post as well, so when I was asked to participate, I was very excited. The title of our group is "Curves Around the World" because we are literally from all over the world and I'm so excited to work with these ladies. Be sure to check them out, there links will be at the bottom of this post. 

So this weeks theme is Animal Print and I wasn't sure which item in my closet I wanted to use. But I know I had a pair of shorts that are animal print that I haven't worn in awhile so I decided to go more of a casual look since I wasn't going anywhere special, and I was just going to go shopping.

{top & Jacket|F21+} {shorts|H&M} {Jewelry|Philippines} {shoes|LoveD}

You can probably guess that I really like these short boots a lot because I wear them quite a bit. I just think they are so comfortable and they go with a lot of things. Plus when I go shopping I like to wear comfortable shoes.

Shopping was a bust, I don't go shopping often, so I was excited to go. But I hate it when you actually go shopping and you want to find something and you end up finding nothing. I know for me it's hard to go shopping in the first place because there aren't too many stores that actually have plus size clothing and at the mall that I went to it's very limited. So when I go to the mall I go to all those stores first and see if they have anything I like. And since I didn't see anything at those stores, I went to stores that might have my size and I was sad because things I actually liked didn't fit me. I know that's what a lot of girls go through when they shop, especially when your plus size. Do any of your girls have that problem when you shop? I know a lot of people shop online, but I'm the kind of person that likes trying on things and seeing how it looks on me so I get scared buying clothes online. But I still enjoying going into stores and looking at the different clothes, even though I might not fit into them, I like looking at them. :)

Well here's a close up of my animal print because I wasn't sure what kind of animal print it is. I think it's a combination of different animal prints, I think that's why I chose these shorts because I like that it's a combination of animal prints. What kind of animal print do you think these shorts are?

Now check out the other ladies and see there great Animal print outfits.

Have a wonderful rest of the week everyone! ~Nina~

Think in Bright Colors

Hey everyone, Happy Wednesday! I hope everyone is having a great week so far! The weather has been great here in California not to hot and not to cold just perfect 70 degree weather, just how I like it! So that means I can wear light layers and not die of heat. 

If you saw my last post I was wearing a top made by my mom, and this top that I'm wearing was the pattern my mom used to make it. The top is actually a dress and I usually wear it with leggings but I thought of using it as a top. I really like mixing up pieces from my wardrobe and using it in different ways. Do you like experimenting with pieces in your closet? I am a person who doesn't have lots of money and I don't shop often but that doesn't mean  I can't be fashionable with the pieces you already have in your wardrobe. One way of doing that is recreating pieces that you already have wardrobe 

{top & necklace|H&M} {skirt|Target} {Jacket|F21+} {sunglasses & bracklets|forever 21} {shoes|Charlotte Russe}

I love this bright colored skirt and I've only worn this once before and since it was such a pretty day that I thought it would be a great piece to wear out. Since the skirt is so bright I decided to tone it down with the polkadots. And I love how the skirts belt actually fits me because usually belts that come with things I buy never fit when I wear it with the actual item. So I was really happy that this belt actually fit because I think the color really compliments the outfit well. 

Have a wonderful rest of the week everyone! ~Nina~

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Hello Friends, Yay for my first post! I hope everyone had a wonderful day! Since it's St. Patrick's day I had to wear green. I don't really celebrate the holiday but I like to participate in it anyway I can, so wearing green and eating corned beef cabbage with my family is the way I celebrate it. 

My green dress is from Old Navy and the belt is from a pair of shorts that I got from target. The belt actually doesn't fit me with the shorts, so i thought hey i'll just make it work another way and now i wear it with dresses. You have to stay positive and make it work for you. 

The jean jacket that i'm wearing is from Forever 21+ that I got a few years ago when Forever 21 first started their plus size line. I was so excited when I saw the line at one of my local Forever 21. This is my favorite jacket so you might see me wear it a lot in this blog.

Lastly I want to leave you with this video of CeeLo and Kermit the frog singing "Bein' Green." I figure it's fitting because when you think of St. Patrick's Day you think green. This is also one of my favorite performances because who doesn't love the muppets and the meaning of this song to accept who you are. Plus i'm excited for the new season of the Voice. I love the concept of how they don't judge the person by the way they look but by their talent. 

Have a wonderful day! ~ Nina
