Outta This World

  

A few weeks ago EVERY fat girl in the galaxy flocked to dominodollhouse.com frantically refreshing to see if the all new Astralnauts Collection was finally available for purchase. Thank the Gods I work from home and was able to get my hands on the first batch of these space themed garments. So as you can see I decided on the leggings! I'm so happy I did; they make a statement, they are extremely comfortable, and they are totally unexpected. I was contemplating the dress or the skirt for some while but I just felt I would get more wear from the leggings since I could also wear them as totally fun pants.

Can we also just take a second to appreciate this hair accessory I found on ebay? It's an elastic band with gold spikes, and it was only around $1.99 with free shipping. I'd say it's one of my most favorite finds to date.

Winter, what a great time to post some summer photos! Sorry for the timing of this post but I just found the folder with these beauties inside! You might recognize these from Tumblr but these are actually from the SKORCH beach shoot us ladies did back in the summer. It was a blistering, blindingly, SKORCHING hot day out but we pulled it together and had some fun taking turns with the camera. Even some strangers took a turn with the camera to capture our fantasy island looks. To be honest the best part of the day is when Sarah and I got to rip off our clothing and plunge straight into the cooling water.

Floral Mermaid

    

It's been a hot mess summer, that's for sure. I've actually been trying to stay indoors with my air conditioner so I've not had many opportunities to get my fashion on. I finally got the nerve to plan a trip to visit a dear friend. This outfit was put together for a girls night dinner and drinks. 

It was super windy this particular night so obviously I pulled out some "model in the fan" poses. Wind or no wind I absolutely love how my Mint Skirt from Domino Dollhouse flows and moves. It's definitely going to get many, many wears. I didn't want to pair this great skirt with something as boring as a black top so when I saw this bodysuit (yes, bodysuit!) from ReDress NYC I knew the two pieces together would be magic. 

I'm a size 28-32 so I knew the bodysuit might not fit, and sadly I was right. BUT - it was super stretchy so I just snipped the crotch and now it can  be worn as a top with high waisted skirts. I was desperate to make this floral work, and work I did.

Simple & Cute

Saw Prometheus tonight! Wanted to keep it simple, it's ridiculously humid and summer is just at it's start. Any kind of heat requires me to have my hair up, so my friend Patricia, along with recent tv/movie badass female leads (The Evil Queen in Snow White, Daenerys/Sansa from Game of Thrones, and Katniss from Hunger Games) all inspired me to do more with my braids. I've been youtubing different braid styles and have a few more up my sleeve, but I found this one to be particularly great for surviving the heat.

Spring & Summer Must Haves: Part 1

         

The first biggest Must Have on any fatshionistas list this spring/summer is anything floral. I've found some fantastic additions to any floral lovers wardrobe from the plus size ladies clothing catalogue sizes 12-32 brought to you by Marisota. They are ridiculously spot on with their wide range of trendy floral selections ranging from swimwear (!) to very pretty bras. 

My second Must Have is updated staple pieces. Staples pieces can really be worn year-round so, It's really important to find some nice basics that are a little updated. Here I've found a nice classic tunic: it's the mint green color that adds a little something extra and current. Same goes with the black dress, the lace sleeves and pleating detail make it stand out just enough to have ready and waiting for any occasion. 

Want more? Don't worry, I'll be back later this week with some Must Have Accessories!

Capitol Citizen Luna

Outfit Post March 23rd 2012

When I fangirl, I fangril hard. My newest obsession is "The Hunger Games."

The Hunger Games is a young adult novel written by Suzanne Collins. It was first published on September 14, 2008, by Scholastic, in hardcover.^[1] It is written in the voice of sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives in a post-apocalyptic world in the country of Panem where the countries of North America once existed. The Capitol, a highly advanced metropolis, holds absolute power over the rest of the nation. The Hunger Games are an annual event in which one boy and one girl aged 12 to 18 from each of the 12 districts surrounding the Capitol are selected by lottery to compete in a televised battle in which only one person can survive.

When I first read the book I was immediately hooked. Now the first instalment of the trilogy has been made into a movie, and it's finally here! I usually attend midnight screenings of my favorite book-to-movie premiers (like HP)  because of the crowds; the feeling of anticipation and excitement with a room full of like-minded fandom. Some people choose to dress for the night or simply have a token from the franchise. I chose to dress as a Capitol citizen simply viewing the games.

"Style and fashion are very important to the aristocratic citizens of the Capitol. It is common for them to tattoo and dye their bodies, as well as undergo plastic surgery to alter their appearances. Capitol residents also frequently wear wigs in a multitude of colors. The other districts think the people from the Capitol are both different and odd. Partly because the districts (other than District 1) have no sense of fashion"
