A Good Deal

So back and January Target decided to release a new plus size collection (thank goddess) called Ava & Viv.  I never really got a chance to actually check out the line, but I did read about it on a lot of the plus size blogs.  There were some mixed reviews about this collection.. Some did not really care for it, and others loved it..  Well I finally got a chance to check it out and see what it is all about.

 First, let me just say that the Target near my house does not have a huge selection from this collection; however, I was able to find a couple of items on the clearance rack.  There was one particular item that I really liked and it was perfect too since I had an interview at Bloomingdales the next day. 

I chose the white and black striped blazer and did I mention that it was on sale for only $10.48... I was so excited that I definitely could not pass this jacket up.  Now the collection is really not that bad price wise... I found a couple of regular priced items that ranged from $25 to $40 so it is still a good buy for a diva on a budget.  Now I usually wear a 3x ; however, I had to go down a size.  The blazer also has shoulder pads but I took them out.  I looked like a henchmen.. Me and shoulder pads are not friends.  I can not wait to put it together with my outfit for my interview.. Do not worry.. You know I will show you.. Stay tune 

Ripped jeans

So I decided to do a little DIY project for myself... I was home bored with nothing to do so I decided to create my own ripped jeans... I have a pair of old jeggings that I brought from dots a few years ago ,and washed them too much. Now they have a freaking hole on the  inner thigh... So I decided to create my own ripped jeans so that I can still continue to wear them... I'm going to post a picture you guys tell me what you think lol

So I did some light shopping yesterday...I needed some new accessories..check out these bracelets I got.

What the nails

So I know all love to keep your nails looking great... If you're in a financial crunch like I am, then you just don't have the luxury of getting your nails done every 2 weeks when it's time.... So last night I decided to walk into Wegmans to see what I can find and I found a lot of cool stuff for your nails..... Right now the most popular thing going on is gel manicure which I truly love , and maybe I'm a little late but I do live in a part of Pennsylvania where they are behind the times.. Anywho  I decided to buy them and give them a try

Back to the blog I go

runways and dreams

April has def been an alright month, and it seems like even though it has some bad times, I think more good is coming out of it.. I never really attended fashion shows before( I know its sad) but this month that seems to be all that I am doing. It started at the end of March when I attended a fashion show that my cousin put together at her college called Gossip & Retro Funk.. I must say that it was a good show( not being bias).Vogue Evolution open the show, and they were on fire.. The designers that were featured had some really nice stuff..I really enjoyed myself ..Then on
Easter Sunday I attended the pink fashion show.. It was to help raise money for breast cancer. I really enjoyed this show a lot. The models were great, the designers had some hot stuff, and the vendors out in the lobby had really nice things for sale... I brought me a really cute pair of earrings...The next show that I am attending is coming up in a few weeks, and they say on the flyer that it will be the hottest show ever, so I am like super excited...Me being a stylist / fashion designer I feel inspired by going to these shows, but at the same time I get a little bummed out.. This is my dream and this is what I really want to do with my life..No more grooming dogs I want to be in the fashion world, but I know it takes time and baby steps. You def have to crawl before you walk, and thats something that I have never done before. I always just wanted to jump right in to things, but honestly in a competive field like this industry..Its not what you know its who you know.. Give me time hopefully you will see my name up there someday with my designs...
So Like I said in the beginning april has had some bad times, and that was somebody hacked into my checking account and stole my money. It totally sucked, and I felt violated. Not to mention I could not pay my bills , or get a new outfit for the fashion show.. So in a crunch situation I quickly threw together a really nice outfit.. I was trying to wear something pink because of the whole theme, but I couldnt afford a new top, and still pay some of my important bills.. So what i did was head to my fav spot Burlington Coat Factory lol, and picked up a set of pink bracelets. Then I went to Dots and brought me a really nice ring, and I only spent $16 ..Of course I have pictures and I want you to tell me what you think..I also wanted to get my nails done, but couldnt afford it , so I went to the store and brought me the ones that come painted already. They look super cute.... Well divas its time for me to go..I have so much work to due, but I will b back soon my little fashionistas...

this is the vendors setting up

some pics from the show..sorry my camera died so I couldnt get all of it..plus some are a little blurry, but the next show I promise u guys are getting a video

Stay pretty .. Stay fierce xoxo : P

Groomer by day Fashion stylist by night

This blog post doesnt really have much to do with fashion...I actually need some advice..I am a dog groomer at the moment..Not really my choice of a profession, but hey it pays the bills..My dream is to become a fashion stylist... I have worked as a dog groomer for about 5 years now, and I feel that its holding me back from doing what I really want to do.. I want to go in to a job doing what I love, and I know ... I know... it takes time..I just feel like I need to start putting myself out there ,and trying to get into the business.. With the job I do its very hard to take days off , and I missed out on a lot of oppurtunities ...So what should I do ??? Should I quit the dog grooming business and focus more on my future ??? Or should I hold on to the job and hope the best.. Subject change really fast ..If u notice that my words are one big giant word well that is because the spacebar on my laptop really sucks...grrr its pissing me off( jerk of a spacebar lol)... Anywho so yea please if u read this please give me some feedback... it really would b helpful..Thanks
Stay pretty .. Stay fierce xoxo : P
