FASHION MEETS CURVES: June 2014

424 FIFTH, the Balm and Nicolette Mason

Wednesday, June 25, 2014

Well well well, it's Wednesday already! Which means 2 more work days and time for another WILW!

424 FIFTH Plus

Not that long ago The Bay launched a new label by Lord and Taylor, 424 FIFTH. It is a stunning line with great basics, a few statement pieces and much to my satisfaction there is a plus size line! I am absolutely loving this beach scene jacket!

the Balm

I have been a fan of the Balm cosmetics for a number of years. I love their anti-wrinkle concealer timeBalm, their tinted lip gloss Plump Your Pucker and now I introduce to you the greatest beauty product I have every used...Put A Lid On It! Does your eye shadow crease or come off? I know mine does, or I should say it did, especially in the summer...well not any more thanks to this amazing product! Seriously...it works so well and you barely need any so this little tube lasts a while! Best thing about this brand, it is both paraben and cruelty free!

Nicolette Mason

There are many reasons why I started FMC and one of them is to inspire woman to dress for their body and exude their own personal style. Additionally, I was inspired by such woman as Nicolette Mason who have such kick ass style! I have been following her blog for a while now and she is a cool NY based fashion blogger, contributing editor and columnist for Marie Claire with a closet I would love to have! We also both have a love for Kate Spade and she recently got to go to Camp Kate Spade...umm...how do I get invited?!

Ciao, for now!

Boyfriend Jeans: Part Two

Sunday, June 22, 2014

As promised in my Boyfriend Jeans: Part One post earlier this month...here is a post all about dressing up your boyfriend jeans. I am still loving these jeans, maybe a little too much, they kind of go with everything and are a quick and easy solution when in a rush!

Even though this post is about dressing up the boyfriend jeans, lets be honest here...IT'S ALL ABOUT THESE SHOES!!!! I saw them in LOULOU magazine, immediately fell in love, went to Aldo, bought them and started dreaming up outfits to wear them with. I love mixing patterns and these are a perfect mix of stripes and florals!!

Boyfriend Jeans: Old Navy

Tank Top: Old Navy

What I Love Wednesday

Summer Dresses and SS Print Shop

Wednesday, June 18, 2014

Hello hello and happy Hump Day!! Is it the weekend yet? This week seems to be dragging on a little...but soon enough it will be the weekend and I will be celebrating by attending a few of my friends wedding showers!

Summer Dresses

Speaking of wedding showers...what am I gonna wear?!?! I will need to scour my closet first, I am sure I can find something in there...but if not then I am loving this maxi dress, this skater dress and this trapeze dress from Rickis! Hmmm...might need to go shopping ;)

SS Print Shop

I stumbled upon SS Print Shop on Instagram and have been a fan ever since. I have purchased a few prints from the online shop, but now they are much easier to get as Chapters has the collection in their stores!! Not only does Stephanie have SS Print Shop, she also runs an awesome blog over at www.stephaniesterjovski.com. I think I need to add this print to my collection!

Have a good rest of your week!

Happy happy happy! That's what this WILW is all about...something that makes me so happy!!

KATE SPADE NEW YORK IS IN EDMONTON!!

Welcome to the City of Champions

I am so overjoyed that 'my happy place' is now open in Edmonton! This just shows that #yeg really is becoming a shopping destination in Western Canada. There are so many great stores opening up in our great city.

Brad Goreski Glasses

Brad Goreski is a fashion stylist known all over the world and is currently the Executive Brand Stylist for Kate Spade. Check out his website here. They released a collection of jewellery inspired by Brad's signature glasses...and when I saw it at the store I knew I had to get the ring!

Decor

I mean come on, I just want the store to be my apartment and live there...I love the decor so much!! Le sigh...

I just realized that my current manicure even matches the Kate Spade bag! Have a good week everyone.

Bestie Vacations

Wednesday, June 04, 2014

Hello FMC readers...it is time for a LONG overdue post...I am back from vacation rested and ready to blog blog blog! This weeks WILW is all about something I love...travel! Especially when it involves your best friend, celebrating turning 30 and Mickey Mouse. Here are some of the parts of my trip to Orlando, Florida that I absolutely loved.

Outlet Shopping

There are two major outlet malls in Orlando...and I went to both...one of them twice! As much as I love to support local businesses in Edmonton and the Canadian economy, sometimes a girls got to let loose and outlet shop! Kate Spade, Saks, Neiman Marcus, Nine West...I could go on and on, basically I got some great deals and I cannot wait to feature some items on upcoming blog posts.

I got a ridiculous deal on this clutch at the Diane Von Furstenberg store!

Disney World

How can you go to Orlando and not visit The Mouse?! We completed two parks in one day, we went from 9am to 12am! In that time we fit in 17 rides (including a brand new one), Mickey Mouse pretzels, some shopping, walked the parks, saw a few little shows and then of course the parade to end the day!

Last ride of the day...the carousel!

The Florida Sun

Ahhh...the sun! The humidity! I miss it already. We lucked out with weather, there were threats of thunderstorms, but we managed to sit by the pool and relax.
