FFF WEEK/CURVES IN THE CITY

Welp it is that time of year where curvy women flock to NYC and indulge in workshops and fashion shows and get to meet other bloggers. I must admit I was some what skeptical about meeting other bloggers. I must admit most were just lovely and so welcoming and not to mention gorgeous in person. Today was Curves in the City Part 1 and It was lovely I got a chance to see gabifresh swimsuitforall bathing suits in person.  Just picture a room full of independent make up lines, clothing lines and accessory companies. I got a chance to purchase a few items and loved the great vibe. I wanted to be simple yet a little spicy but New York makes you want to just wear sneakers and a track suit. I must admit I am guilty for having a pair of slippers in bag to switch after my feet couldn't take it anymore.

 The Fashion show was awesome I must say I will do a full review and pictures of all the lovely lines and pics of the show in a later post. I decided that I wanted to sparkle in the NYC night and settled on this lovely 2 pc set from asos.com. It is from the curve section and Im wearing a UK 16 simply because their clothing runs kinds of big. I have talked about asos sizing on my YouTube channel so if you are still having trouble figuring it out tip on over to my YouTube page (successisnotaoption). I received plenty of compliments on this dress. It is shiny and just so cute BUT my skin hated it anyone who has worn anything sequin you know it kind of itches.  In order to achieve certain looks you have to have a bit of pain so I wont complain.

THINGS I LOVE FOR UNDER $50 BUCKS!

So we all know I love a good sale that no secret lately I have been finding things that just the cutest. It is my duty to inform you lovely ladies of my finds. I haven't  been on my duties of blogging but its not on purpose. I will try to do one every other day from now on. So first up which girl doesn't love a good deal on shoe?  I loved the cap toe trend and I looked for the perfect shoe to no avail. When I logged on to karmaloop.com and saw these Jeffrey Campbell  cap toes black heels with 65% off I could not say no. I was also able to use the promo code which bought the shoe to a $45 total! Today I checked and now they are $38 dollars!!!!!




 Now I wear make up and I love it but I must admit I hate cleaning my brushes I hate having to lay out over 40 wet brushes and they take up my entire counter for at least 8 hours of my day. So when I found this Benjabelle.com make up tree I couldn't help myself but purchase it. It comes in three shades black, white and pink! Its only $35 and it does collapse and doesnt have to stay on your counter top all the time. I think it was a great invention and I love the lovely ppl  who made it!







I'm guilty of getting my eyeshadow everywhere when applying it and having to use concealer to fix it. I:m no make up artist geesh I do the best I can. So  when I saw these cute shadow shields I feel in love. They are only $10 for 30 shields and guaranteed to make you like so much more easier
visit the site and purchase them now!
