Fringe Frenzy: Fall 2015

Fringe Frenzy




Fashion has a habit of repeating itself and this fall is no different Fringe is here and I'm honestly loving it. I must say Plus Size retailers are finally getting on trend with current seasons. I can remember being two years behind the current trends and getting  extremely frustrated with just how slow retailers were when it came to plus size fashion.









New York Fashion week was full of  looks featuring fringe in various hues. Celebs have been showing up to fashion shows rocking fringe from shoes to bags and even jackets.

I do however have a absolute favorite Celeb that has taken my fringe obsession to new heights....drum roll please!

  
Yes Ms.Williams showed up and showed Out with this look from her new line for HSN which debuted during NYFW. I must admit I want this to come in plus size so I can slay right along with the rest of the wold. Fringe can be both High Fashion and Hobo Chic it really all depends on the statement you are attempting to make.

I don't care for the 80/20 rule in relationships











As the weekend came in and I snuggled up on the couch I found myself watching Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married on the tube. In one of the scenes they introduce the 80/20 theory in relationships.
If you haven't seen the movie let me enlighten you on the rule. The 80/20 rule basically means when you're in a relationship you partner is 80% of what you want in a spouse. So You settle with that 80% and the other 20% you will never get in your spouse. It may look better but isn't because it's only 20% of what you're missing in a relationship.




So why give up your 80 for 20? logically it doesn't sound right huh? welp It caused me to think and honestly I say to hell with 80 and 20. I want 100% and dammit I believe I deserve it and then some. To say one should be content with 80 and forget about the 20 is not just unfair but not logical to me. Your spouse should fulfill you in every aspect to say the least you shouldn't have to settle for sub par because people say so.

SO YOU WANT TO UPGRADE YOUR LIPSTICK HOLDER?

SO YOU WANT TO UPGRADE YOUR LIPSTICK HOLDER?

So I'm just going to be honest and make a confession many of you may not know about me........ I LOVE LIPSTICK! There I finally said it out loud and I don't care who knows it. I know you may not think that looking at my social media accounts. I have three to four go to colors that I automatically just grab when I'm doing my everyday looks. That doesn't mean I don't own more colors from black to even yellow. It seems like every time I get one of the mac mailers in the mail and see one it's new collections I grab my purse and run out the door.  Only to ironically have them sit in my lipstick container or be given away to whomever raids my makeup box and begs and pleads for it.










My Cute Little Lipstick holder From Marshall's 
$18

I have three containers for make up



I didn't realize how many I had  actually collected until I picked up the cutest 30 lipstick holder from my local Marshall's. I was in love until I started to organize and realized between lipstick and lip gloss I had almost 60  containers and that little cute container was no match for a lipstick addict like myself. I searched high and low for a reasonable bigger organizer that was both chic and functional.


Then it happened I discovered Bella Posh Oraganizers and went crazy with excitement. I was gifted the item and couldn't wait to open it and organize my lipsticks. I chose an all clear organizer but it comes in other color such as pink and black. I just feel as if  clear can be timeless  and can pretty much blend in just about any surrounding with out needing to work around the color the organizer.






I choose the Grand Spinning organizer which retailed for $114  other organizers on the site go up to $200 dollars.

The Details: 
Dimensions: 12"L x 6.5"W x 6.5"H
The top part  fits 27 lip glosses 
2 sides are designed to fit 48 lipstick. 
1 side has 8 spaces to fit, eye shadow, blushes or powder. 
1 side is designed to fit, foundation, primers, lip balms, nail polish etc.

The shipping was super fast and arrived in under a week of placing my initial order. I was expecting to wait longer but super glad that I didn't have to. When ordering online you sometimes become accustom to the waiting game. 












I have placed all of my lipsticks and lip gloss in my orgranizer with room left to add to my collection. I also used space for my eyelashes and pressed powders. I chose to keep my organizer in my bathroom and it fits perfect. It's not bulky or taking up too much space it fits in just perfect and did I mention it spins?  Yesssssss *jumping for joy*. Honey I just felt so amazing spinning my little organizer looking for my daily beauty products this morning. 


I will be ordering a few more items from the site maybe even the Queen Organizer and a Make up Brush Holder. If you are looking to upgrade your beauty organizer I recommend totally recommend  Bella Posh!
