Getting Intimate with Torrid

 

 

As we all know, I've been preparing for my upcoming nuptials since November of last year. In doing that, I've been getting my honeymoon wardrobe on fleek. You can't go on a honeymoon trip without new lingerie. So the search began.

 

One thing I've always found disturbing is finding intimates that look both beautiful and luxurious without the luxury tag. And to make it worse, I had to try to find all of this in plus sizes!!!

 

I wasn't very optimistic going into this process. lol But behold, TORRID to the rescue. Now, I did see some other amazing pieces on some other sites BUT the quality and design of this collection of intimates far exceeded those of the others I purchased.

Though I don't think I'm quite ready to show pictures of me in my skivvies (aka intimates lol), I did want to show off some of the pieces I purchased.

So here's some of what I got:

One of my favorite sets!!!
 

The ultimate nude for my melanated sistas
 

I live and breathe for this set
 

The most adorable purchase of them all
 

 

I think the high-waisted panty has to be one of the sexiest pieces of the collection. I was super excited about those. The half slips and long line tops are so "plus size diva" friendly but still and yet, they are uber sexy. They create an amazing silhouette. All of the intimates in this collection take me back to a different era when being voluptuous and curvy was the goal and women wore luxurious pieces on the daily. I wish  we would could all adopt that way of dressing into the current day and time.

I'm completely obsessed with every single piece and I love that they all flatter my body in various ways!!!

There are so many different things to choose from but all uniquely beautiful. The prices are moderate and fall in line with the rest of Torrids clothing.

I welcome all feedback and comments.

 

SMOOCHES TO ALL!!!

Thanksgiving Holiday Round Up

Hey Everyone!!

I hope you guys had an amazing Thanksgiving Holiday. I was in the kitchen for a few days so I didn't do much real clothing (sweats and t-shirts at home). I did however snap a few shots on Thanksgiving and the Sunday after!

Faux Fur Vest| Ashley Stewart * Dress| Fashion to Figure*  Fishnets| Torrid

My Thanksgiving look was pretty simple, in that I tried to be comfy but chic because I was going to my boyfriend's family's house. I paired a black dress with ruched detailing with a faux fur vest. To amp it up and make it interesting, I added skull fishnets and skull earrings and a skull studded bag. And then my simple velvet booties.

Sunday evening, I kept it casual with older wardrobe pieces. Because I got them a while ago, I can only list where they are from but I doubt they are still in stock at the particular stores. Anywho, below is the look

Sweater| Torrid *  Skirt| Old Navy*  Belt| H&M * Boots| Diba Shoes

Again, I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday and I hope you enjoy my looks. Leave your feedback and comments. I'd love to hear from you.

Be blessed in the meantime.
XOXO

Tunic Tops: Casual Days

Tunic| F2F ($26.00)  Boots| MACY's ($125)  Scarf| NY Street Vendor ($8)  Hat| NY Street Vendor ($10)  Tights| Ashley Stewart ($26.50)

 

Aren't TUNICS super fun. I like that they are totally convertible in the fact that you can wear them as a top or a dress. They are also super comfy. It's a staple in my wardrobe. 

Today, I chose to pair this Tunic with neutral tights, calve high boots, a printed scarf and a fun hat!

How do you wear your Tunics???

 

 

I bought this one from my favorite store (Fashion To Figure)

My color is no longer available.

This color is still available, click picture to shop this look.

As always, thank you for reading my blog and until next post, 

XOXO!!!!

BLACK & WHITE WEEK: Horizontal Stripes

BLOUSE| Fashion To Figure
SKIRT| Old Navy
BELT| Asos Curve
HOSE & SHOES| Torrid

Today's Look is the last installment of this Black & White Series. I love pairing black and white with shades of pink (because pink is my favorite color).

This ensemble features a button front blouse from Fashion To Figure. I purchased it a while ago so unfortunately it is no longer available.

The skirt however was purchased recently from Old Navy. It is now on sale for $15 on-line. I suggest going into the store because I got it for $9.00

Pointe-Knit Circle Skirt

My spider web stockings feature the oh so sexy line up the back of the stockings. They were purchased from Torrid. Some say they are a bit pricer but I can count on their hose to last.

SPIDERWEB TIGHTS $15

My studded patent pumps were also purchased from Torrid. They weren't purchased this year so unfortunately they aren't available either.
