LUXURY SHOPPING MISTAKES TO AVOID IN 2022

  We all love our luxury items don't we? I'm sure we all do. Luxury products are not cheap and with the insistent price increase from  brands. Of course, we want to wear these luxury brands because we love the lux lifestyle and having to spend hundreds of our hard earned on these items can sometimes be ridiculous. I have narrowed down six tips on how to avoid luxury shopping mistakes and also buyers remorse.   1. Avoid Instagram hype trendy items: Do not fall for the Instagram hype when you see influencers wearing this items. What some of you fail to understand is that some influencers are gifted this items from luxury brands to promote because that is part of their job. A trendy item will be gone in the next couple of months and there comes another trend. Who wants to keep up with this trend every 6-12 months, spending thousands of money on these items? Not me of course. Sometimes it is very hard to give a honest review for a product that has been gifted to an influencer from

Autumn Sweater Dress

The sweater, trench coat, leather jacket, leather blazer, leather pant and jumper dress season is here again. Autumn sweater dresses are wardrobe staples that can be worn seasons around. These type of dresses are beautiful with minimal effort to achieving your desired look.  When it comes to sweater dresses i personally love it a bit fitted not body hugging and oversized. Since i am plus size i do not want the dress to cling onto my body as well as look ill fitted. For my body type i normally opt for something lower or just above the kneel. If the dress is above my kneels i simply pair it with a thick tight or leggings to keep me warm. I love that the dress can be worn with an over the kneel boot,  knee-high boot, calf or ankle boot .    A pair of statement footwear if possible with pop of colour will make the sweater dress stand out. I opted for a red suede kneel high boots from Asos i have had these over the year, bag is a vintage Chanel Vertical Jersey flap with gold hardware check

The Dress Over Pants Trend Summer 2021.

 The trick to pulling of this look is to keep it simple with a structured shirt dress. This particular shirt dress is from H&M, linen blend and the white shirt dress is very crisp with two breast pocket. It can also be worn alone with a white trainer or a pair of heels for that classic, sophisticated and elegant look. Yes you can try wearing this over a jeans too not just pants but i opted for a khaki green pant .  For this trend you do not have to necessarily go for a shirt dress. Try a longer shirt instead and wear it with a more structured pant.  I love this look because it can easily be transitioned into the fall by layering while still keeping your arms and legs warm.  The fact that you can wear this outfit for a variety of occasions is amazing. The pant and white shirt dress where gotten from H&M sales so check your local H&M to see if you can get your hands on it and guess what ? You can try this trend with what you already have from your wardrobe. I paired mine with

Wide Leg Pants Are Back In 2021

Today's blog post is all about the wide leg pants and how to style them for your body type. One thing i love about this style of pant is that it is very elegant, sophisticated, chic, makes you look feminine and put together without even trying. I must say wide pant legs are wardrobe staple for everyone. With plus size it can be tricky sometimes to get the right silhouette because we are shaped differently.  To be sincere i have been one that shy away from wide leg pants for a very long time until i found this from the H&M sales rack for 10 euros you can't beat the price. This type of trouser can be paired with wedges, flats, heels and sandals like i have done with my Hermes Oran sandals in tan colour. I love the versatility of this wide leg pant. For the colder months you can wear this trouser with a pair of blazer, leather jacket or a trench coat. Since the weather is still hot over here i paired mine with an old lace top i got from Newlook way back and my Chanel beige cla

The Best Slip Dress For Plus Size

   If  you have been following me for a while you know that my style has changed due to some personal reasons. I strongly believe that when you get to a certain stage in life you have to let go of somethings. My style has changed because certain things no longer work for me and i am not into tight fitted clothes anymore that is not to say that my clothes should be ill fitting it is a big NO for me. I have opted for  clothes that are flattering on my body type. I do have a blog post here about things i no longer wear make sure to check that out  as well as a detailed YouTube video which you can find here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6u_u6l8rp7E&t=20s. I love dresses and i want a dress i can transition from morning to evening, casual to chic as well as from summer to autumn and winter. Slip dresses can be a hard one to get your hands on if you are plus size because they tend to show your business if you get what i mean and sometimes they could be very unflattering. Getting the ri

Zimmermann Look For Less.

There are cheaper alternative to luxury brands if you can not afford them but still want to get the luxury look for less. I am all about saving and investing my money into something meaningful and am in no means saying luxury clothing is not an investment. I love luxury items as you all know but i believe in spending my money wisely. Hence, i have decided to do this series for you all on getting the luxury look for less kindly check out my previous post on how you can get the Atlanta sleeper dress for less. Zimmermann is a brand that most of us love from the design, cut, fabric and aesthetic . Nicky Zimmermann designs are a work of art but the price point can be exorbitant. Here in Ireland the cassia wrap dress goes for 1,50.00 euros, the mae long sleeve frill louse is 635.00 euros these are way too extortionate for some people. This particular Shein dress looks very similar to the Zimmermann Amari Paisely dress and unfortunately it has been sold out from shein's website but not to
