Don't Be Tardy to the Party!!! NYE Edition....

Well I know that i'm late posting this one, but hey its better late than never! This post is about great looks to make sure your the "Fashionista" of the night!!! I'm really digging the sequin look this year for NYE. It's something so sexy, daring, and just plain ol girly about having something sequin on!!!


A nice sequin blazer paired with a simple dress underneath would look great....or you can go with more of a Janelle Monet inspired look and pair it with some nice trousers, a sheer white shirt, a bow tie, and a nice pair of pumps! **Hint: the menswear look in very much in style this year--Kimmy Kardashian also wore this look for the Kardashian Christmas card this year**


This is a very classy knee length pencil skirt that should be paired with a nice blouse...nothing too busy! That could possilby kill your entire look...


I absolutely love this dress (sorry I couldn't get a pic of the front) but it is just covering your entire chest...no a line cuts or anything. But the back is giving you all the sexy you need!!!


Another gold dress with the sheer top....


Super cute pants and shorts...



I love this top!!!


Here's a few ideas for shoes...



Here's a little sequin something for everybody....

Special thanks to my sis Alexia (@iAM_NVYInk) for the post idea!!!!

Love  <3 Mimi!

Here's me, my sis, and Alana at Megan's Graduation Party....

Suck it up!!!!!

Ladies!!!!! Well yesterdays post was about great "Thick Girl" websites....well this is the follow up. I said on the previous post that if you learn your fabrics you can learn how to eye clothing that may not be your "typical" size, but you can learn to work it like its was made just for you! Typically if its stretchy material you can pull it off and make an outfit out of a Large garment but your normally an Ex-Large. But I gotta be honest...Honey you MUST know that you have to SUCK IT UP! I know, I know, your probably saying what do you mean by that?? Ladies, that means you need to learn to make GOOD shapewear one of your wardrobe must haves! You can squeeze you butt in that Large shirt, skirt, dress of what have you and look like a busted can of biscuits you if want too!!! NO!!! Shapewear maybe a little uncomfortable, I must admit, but one of my motto's is: "Looking Fierce ain't always Fun!" You have to suck up the pain of that tight ass girdle and ignore those burning/blistered feet in those bad shoes your rocking to pull off a great outfit sometimes! Good shapewear smooths out those lumps and bumps and gives your outfit a more polished look. And please don't get it twisted, Skinny girls need to wear it too. I'm just saying...We all use use that smooth, sexy curve appeal.

Below are a couple of pics of some shapewear that all of the ladies can use to create sexy shilhouette that we all what to have:

Spanx Power Pants-Black

Waist Cincher

Ava Lovers Booster Basque

Firm Control Slip

These are just a few pics of thing that does the trick! They can be a bit pricey for the good ones, but they usually last long when you take care of them...And before I forget getting fitted for a good fitting bra takes you a loooong way (I know because I am top heavy!) So to all my gals out there "Suck It Up!" and MAKE IT WORK in my Tim Gunn voice! =)

Thick girls need clothes too....

Today's post was inspired by my BFF, Kendra. She said that I should do a blog about sites that offer cute "Juicy Girl" clothing. Well here you have it....I'm going to dish on some of my favorite "Juicy Girl" websites! One thing I want the thick girls to know is that you are NOT confined to just plus size clothing. You can go in straight size stores and shop, but the key is knowing your different fabric types. If you learn that you will learn to try different sizes that you normally can't fit. Here are my favorite sites, some go up to a size 4x.

First we'll start with http://www.modcloth.com/. This site offers cute, trendy clothing with a retro twist. They offer clothing up to a size 4x. Here are a few pics of what they offer:

They even offer cute swimsuits up to a size 4x!!!

Next up is http://www.asos.com/. They offer a line called ASOS Curve which is their line that caters to the bigger ladies up to a size 22. The clothes that they offer are very fashion forward and trendy. Here's a look at some things on their site:

ASOS Curve Exclusive Short in Lace

ASOS Curve Exclusive Pleat Front Jumper

Third is http://www.dorothyperkins.com/ which offers clothing up to size 18:

Gold Glitter Jeans

Magenta One Shoulder Dress

Forth site is http://www.torrid.com/. Torrid has lots of fun, flirty clothes for the ladies:

Tripp NYC- Natural Leopard Skinny Jeans

Fifth Site http://www.newlook.com/, New Look now has a US site and have sizes up to 18 on their size straight size line. But, They offer a plus size line as well called the "Inspire" line that goes up to a size 26. Here's a peek:

Sixth, http://www.wetseal.com/ which also offers plus size clothing...ONLINE that goes up to a size 3x. They do not carry Plus size clothing in store.

Get Nail'd!

Well today's post is dedicated to the ladies that love to keep their nails looking Haute!!!! OPI is one of my favorite Nail Lacquer Brands because the polish lasts long, doesn't chip easily, and never gets dull. I love the shades that they offer, and I'm always ready to see the fun, flirty names underneath each bottle. Well, OPI has teamed up with the Harajuka Barbie, Nicki Minaj, and will be releasing her Pink Friday Collection in 2012. In true Nicki fashion, the colors are bold, fun, fly and in your face shades. Here's a peek at some of the promo shots:



I'm rather sure all you Barbz will be supporting our girl Nicki with her latest business venture with OPI!!!!

Next up is another nail trend that's popular with celebs like Beyonce, Rihanna, Lady Gaga & countless more are the "Stiletto Nails." These sharp, pointy, dagger style nails are whats hot now in the nail game! I mean I think they are fierce, buuuuut I don't think I could operate at work functionally with those claws! They also double as a great weapon (not that I recommend resulting to violence) LoL!! Here's a peek at a few different designs:





Werrrrrkkkkkk!!!!!!

Last but definitely not least are Minx nails! This trend has been on the scene for a while and is still going strong! What I love about Minx nails are all the fun, crazy designs that you can find! Minx nails are another fav of the celebrities as well. Here's a few:





So Ladies, get to your local nail salon and get Nail'd!!!!!

Love and kisses!
Mimi
