my first movie review!

okay, so last week i went and saw the new movie burlesque with cher and christina aguleria. i remeber, when i first saw the previews and posters for it, i couldnt stop lauging i thought,"omigod, cher and christina in the same movie? is the world going to explode?" but i went and saw it, personally, i thought it was great. was it flawed? yes, was there a gratouitous product placement for famous amos cookies? yes, but it was at least funny. if you want to, go ahead, i totally suggest going to see it . all around, i give it a B+.

Katie's top 10

Here's my top 10 picks of some of my favorite trends for this fall going into winter

10. Ruffle Skirts

 these aren't necissarily for Fall/Winter season, but they always look best paired with some leggings and slouchy boots.

9. Open cardigans

I feel bad about not knowing the real name of them but you know, those open, slouchy jackets that are usually made out of t-shirt material. anyway, i really love these things i own like three of them. they're probably one of the most versatile pieces i own.

8. Horizontal stipes

I know, this sounds like a huge contradiction for a girl thats not exactly skinny, but i actually resally like them I've been seeing them popping back up everywhere lately. To be ferank, before this year, i thought i left those things back in the 2nd grade, but i guess they're back to stay, and i love it!

7. Slouchy Boots

This fall, i've been seeing a lot of these what i'm gonna call 'slouchy boots" these things are awesome! i own quite a bit of these myself and i love them!

6. Blazers

This trend contributes to another trend i'm going to talk about later, but a blazer really is something that every woman should have as a staple in her wardrobe.

5. the Sweater Dress

\The sweater dress is one of those "carry-over" trends that have transcended from a few years ago, but still very chic and very cute.

4. Neutrals

neutrals, surprisingly have been coming back in full force and being used in more ways than one. For the more upscale, you can par beige dress pants with a khaki-colored blouse for a sensual 70's look

3. The Half-Formal Look- For those of you that don't know what i'm talking about, its that look where you pair a casual dress with a sharp blazer or some dressy pants with a tank top. I personally think this is going to be one of those trends that's going to last for a long time . Really fun.

2. Brights - The best way to add happiness to a gloomy fall day? bright skinny jeans and neons. this trend dosen't necissarily have to be restrained to clothes. Accesories for you and your home can be decked ut in bright colors!


1. Nostalgia Wear.- This trend, like the brights trend isn't necissarily being dconstrained to clothing. i saw a girl with a backpack the other day that had the old cereal box front from fruit loops. this again, is another trend i think will carry o into the spring/summer.

it IS easy being green

As we all probably know by now "eco- friendly" fashion is more than a passing fad. for the best fashionable eco-frindly accesories, try terratrendz.com. Their stuff is affordable, cute, and great for the environment. all of their handbags are made out of recycled, reusable materials. this one is my favorite:
i love the little brown "tree-looking" applique on this clutch. and it ships for only 59.99(including shipping and handling!) yay!!!

OMG I AM SOOOOO OBSESSED WITH THIS SONGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

a few months ago i was in a beauty pageant, i didnt win, but we had to do this dance for the opening number, and we danced to this song and after that i just could NOT stop listening to it.. i kno its a little old, but i hope you enjoy it! C:

Finding a cure with jeans!!

Torrid has always been very proactive in promoting breast cancer awareness like the cute "save the ta-tas pj's they had out last year, but now they're taking it one step further in support of the national breast cancer society torrid is saying "BREAST CANCER CAN KISS MY B<3 <3 TY!!!!! by taking 15$ off all jeans in stock! i was really excited when i heard this, because i have a few frioends whose parents have died from at least one type of cancer, and then, as a woman, the fear of this disease always lurks somewhere in the back of my mind.... but anyway, leave me a comment telling me what you think about this or if you know someone living with  or who died of cancer.

The new Look of Lane Bryant

So the other day, i was back at the mall in Virginia, when i decided to stroll through lane bryant cuz i hadn't been in awhile. the first thing i noticed when i walked in is they have a new JUNIORS LINE!!!!! yay! I was really happy, cuz, i love lane bryant, but it was usually like work-ish clothes for women from their 20's to their 30's . but now they;'ve got some really cute stuff tho the line is called loop 18. But, they do go by juniors sizes, so a 13=12, a 19=18 and so on, they're also having a sale now on select jeans and leggings so shop now! Also, if for some reason you've never heard of this store, its a great store for plus size women, starting at a 12-32 women's sizes and juniors sizes 13- 29.

well that's all for right now, good-bye my lovelies!!! C:

MARC JACOBS' NEW LINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG u guyzzzzz! so i was scanning the internet when i came upon an article saying that marc jacobs is going to make a new plus size line! he's the first top designer to make a plus size line.

"Although there is yet to be an official announcement, Robert Duffy, president of the Marc Jacobs label, wrote about the move on Twitter, confirming that the company was in the early stages of discussions to produce a plus-size range. He said that it would be a year before the line was available."

guardian.co.uk

"We gotta do larger sizes," he added. "I'm with you. As soon as I get back to NY. I'm on it! It will take me about a year. But stay with us."

i'm SOOO with him!!! designers really need to realize that women who love fashion DO exist over size 14. it still kinda makes me mad how alot of people dont recognize that. they thing cause we're a little bigger we have no taste... but anyway, i'm ranting... Cya'll later lovelies!!

XOXOXOXO

Faith 21 !!

I know it's been out for a little while now, but i absolutely adore the new line of plus size clothing at forever 21! they've always had good accesories, but now r i can actually get clothes there! they're sizing is a little bit different than torrid's but a 1x= 13/14 2= 15/16 and a 3=17/18. They're new fall stuff just came in and its adorable!! here's some pics of my favorites:

this first one is a houndstooth belted dress and is SUUUPER versatile! you could wear it to a wedding ,a fancy-ish party or to church... 2KEEWT!!!!

I've been looking for a new coat for Fall/Winter for a little time now, and i'm DEFINITLEY getting this one! it's in one of my favorite colors that kindof dark aqua and fits closer unlike the last coat i had... it was a kelley green trench, and a couple weeks in a button broke off .. and well... it was pretty much downhill from there..... but anyways.. that's all i got today...

Peace out my lovelies!!!

XOXOX

My love for Torrid

Omg how much i LURVVVVE this store! When i discovered this store i was in potomac mills mall in Virginia(Follow if ur from VA!!!!!) and i saw the sign, and i was like,"whats this?" and i went in, and i fell in love with it. i had never been to a store before that had such cute clothes and IN MY SIZE!! being a size 18 it isn't always easy to find good clothes. i'm used to going into a store looking through all the size XXS and M and finally giving up and going home. but at least at torrid the sizes are better too. 0= XL 1= 1x 2=2x 3=3x and 4=4x it's also not TOO expensive which is great! i just  went on their site the other day and they ALREADY have a selection of halloween costumes this one's my favorite :

sorry its a little blurry but its SOOO cute!!

Cya'll l8r Lovelies!!!! C: XOXOX
