BIG GIRL FRIENDLY SUEDE PUMPS

Hey my fab readers I know I've been away for some time, But I plan to change that in 2017 and try my best to bring consistency and interesting reads starting with a reflection of 2016 for me and why I've been away, But for now I wanted to share I quick shoe find that stopped me in my tracks while out shopping. Seems like Suede everything has been trending this year especially Skirts, bags and shoes, Well today I came across the cutest "Big Girl Friendly " Suede pumps in .......KMART!!!! Would you believe that, Back in the days maybe about 3 or 4 years ago I use to love shopping for cute plus dresses and shoes there when JustMySize Brand where available in Kmart, But since they pulled out thier plus size clothing options are terrible so I haven't really been back until today to do some Christmas Shopping and that's when I saw them and knew I had to share for my ladies who aren't able to walk in 6in heels like myself, I have very small ankles and too much body to support on them lol. The price tag read $29.99 but Kmart has a sale buy 1 get 1 half off going on, I didn't purchase because I'm shopping with a budget this week and was able to say no...But I'll be back for them.

Earrings Of The Day

Hello loves it's Monday, Today's Earrings Of The Day will be very quick ( At Work). I love these $1.00 flea market "Africa" earrings that I purchased while in Miami for the Jay z and Beyonce concert last year, I actually purchased  about 5 pairs of these because I was afraid I would loose a pair and wouldn't be able to place them. I have a love for African print and jewelry so expect a lot of other post with African inspiration.

Q: Do you have any "Africa" shaped earrings or other jewelry? 

Selfie Saturday

Hello loves and happy Saturday, I'm just sitting around here at the hospital with my son  (More on that at a later post) and seen I packed a scarf I purchased from dress barn during a shopping trip with my mom, I had never been there before then and was impressed with some cute things  I purchased, But I wasn't impressed by their prices I'll say lol thank goodness for mommy's. Thought I'll share some selfies with this gorgeous scarf that I just had to have when I saw it, Now I'm on a hunt for more fashionable scarfs. Enjoy and be blessed.

Spot Light Model " AaNala"

 

Spot Light Model of the month "AaNala"

 

Ever since I was a kid, I was self conscious about my body. I was always told that I had a pretty face, but needed to lose weight in order to actually be noticed! My first photo shoot was simply for fun and for a boost of self confidence with a group of ladies in the California Bay Area. Not until my third photo shoot, did I feel comfortable in front of a camera and realized that I love being there. I love posing, I love feeling beautiful and confident in my clothes and skin, but most of all I love that I am reaching out to other women who once felt the same way as I did and helping them also come to the realization that every person is beautiful in their own individual and unique way and we should embrace and love ourselves for who we are. I am thankful to the many women out there who unknowingly helped me get to this level of confidence by loving themselves no matter what. It is more important to be healthy internally than to be obsessed with losing weight. I just want to do my part, along with all the other beautiful Plus role models out there, to help less confident women feel better about themselves.

 

Stay tuned for the "Meet the spot light" post later this month to learn more about AaNala

4th of July OOTD

Hello everyone I hope you all had a great 4th of July, I was able to enjoy the little time I did have after I got off work at 6pm and after the rain decided to stop. I'm here I'm Florida and it has rained everyday this week ruining any plans to do outside. But after the day was over I can  say I did enjoy my day which consisted of family cookout,  fireworks snd quality time with my boyfriend,  I didn't really put much thought into my 4th of July outfit due to lack of energy. I originally purchased this dress from Ross to wear on this day, But this was months ago and now it really didn't look that fabulous to me anymore since I already wore it once,  But by simply adding a red belt and red wedge heels I think I made it work, felt good about it and I got many compliments. What do you think of my outfit choice?  And how would you have styled this dress?

Swim Wear Confidence PT1

Hello and happy Friday readers, This post is kind of a big deal to me because as you can see I'm wearing a swim suit with no wrap or shorts, even pants Yes I have worn pants to the pool because I was just that self conscious about my body with exposing too much. Honestly all my life when it came to swim wear I never felt comfortable, But times have changed and there is a movement happening right now in the plus size community. Plus size women are making a lot of noise and is being recognized, breaking boundaries and letting the world know that we can be sexy and fashionable. I'm ready to join the movement so I starting in this dressing room at walmart this week, Me and a few friends will be taking a trip to Miami in July and of course will want to visit south beach so I needed something that I would be comfortable in, I feel in love with this pin up style swimsuit for $30.00, I have plans to dress it up with red and really bring the pinup out so be on the look out for the updated photos in July. I also wanted to put the spotlight on some of my followers showing off their swimsuit confidence, Check them out and show them much LOVE!!! Thank you ladies :)

SPOTLIGHT "Pandora Lynn" CHATS WITH PSB

PSB:What inspired you to pursue plus size modeling?

Pandora Lynn:I think just the appreciation people started showing me when I started to appreciate myself was what led me to pursue modeling. I was approached about it on several occassions before I started working as a model. After my first show, I could not deny that there is something people see in me, and I dont want to hide that. Its confidence, love, faith, and hope that comes from my soul that really makes a difference when living in this world, and people can see that.
 

PSB:how many years of experience do you have modeling?

Pandora Lynn:I have modeled for just about two years now.

PSB:What are your goals as a plus model?

Pandora Lynn:I want to continue to do runway, and hopefully get into commercial, and more print modelling. I would like to be more in the entertainment business as an actress, as well as the music industry. More than anything I just want to keep inspiring women of any size to be happy with who they are; because beauty opens doors, but only virtue can enter. I feel like I represent that in any picture, or show that I do.

PSB:Who /What is your inspiration?

Pandora Lynn:My mother is my inspiration. She taught me the value of a human being. She taught me that no matter if you agree with what they do or who they are, they are still here, and everyone has a heart. So, you love them in the midst of anything. You dont have to put yourself around them, or be hurt by them. But, you never turn someone away who needs love, even if it means just giving a friendly smile. I think that plays a big part in being successful as a Plus Size Model. I run into so many walks of life each and every day. It is about standing strong in who I am, and who I want to be. Whether its in front of the camera, down the runway, or just embracing people at an event; it is something I have to value in myself, because that is the only way anyone else will value me too.

PSB:Who are your favorite Plus size designers/Retailers?

Pandora Lynn:I am a fan of the boutique "The Ultimate Dressing Room" in Houston, Texas and "N-V-US Fashions" in San Antonio, Texas. I like to shop at DOTS, Lane Bryant, Rainbows, and Ashley Stewart. I just started working with "Lady L Designs" as one of her first plus size models for her plus size line she added to her petite line. She is a wonderful designer and I am so excited to travel down that road with her.

PSB:What is your favorite fashion Trend this year? (Optional)

Pandora Lynn:The trend for me right now is short skirts, fitted tops, and a trucker hat (worn backwards or frontwards).

PSB:Favorite quote of all time

Pandora Lynn:"Sometimes this world will turn your life upside down, so you can start living right side up."

PSB:Do you have any upcoming events we should look out for?

Pandora Lynn:My first photoshoot with Lady L Designs is coming up this week, so pictures will be posted on facebook soon. Also, I will be modelling for Clear Hair Products at a hair show in Rosenberg, Texas. I am hoping this summer fills up with more events to come.

PSB:How can we contact you? facebook, website..etc

MEET THE SPOTLIGHT "Pandora Lynn"

I am an up and coming plus size model from Houston, Texas.   My favorite quote is, “Beauty opens doors, but only virtue can enter.”
 I have always been interested in fashion and beauty since I was younger.  However, I grew up in a very small town of Louise, Texas where being full figured was not really seen as being beautiful.  I was told for so long, “Oh, you have a pretty face.”  It wasn’t enough for me.  I wanted people to see what I felt on the inside; which was a confident, beautiful, curvaceous young woman.
I have been in the business going on two years now. I have walked in 8 fashion shows, including designers such as; "Dress Barn", "N-V-US Fashions", "The Ultimate Dressing Room", "Ashanti Nikki Fox", "AVENUE", and "Curvy Collection." I have been featured in 5 magazines, icluding; "BBW Magazine", "Plus Size P.O.W.E.R. Magazine", "SCREAM Magazine", and "D Magazine." I was on the cover of "Large in Charge's" Anniversary Issue. I was in a music video with Zaena Morisho. I have also been created into a comic book character by Red Skye Comics; "Lydia St. Claire, The Vampire Slayer." I have been a hair model for Farooq CHI and SHINE Hair Salon in the height, Houston, Texas. I was the 2nd runner up for Miss Plus America 2011 and  I won PSP's 2011 biker babe photo competition.
 
I recently started my own business called, Arts of Utopia.  It is a business that offers Photography, Makeup, Facepainting, and many types of art that is imagined by you and created by me. Arts of Utopia is made to be exactly as it's name provides: "A form of art created by your own perfect thought of how it should be."

 
I really do look forward to making any and every customer's dream a reality. I am just very intrigued about "ART" in itself; any form of it, from modelling, photography, makeup, facepainting, to a mural on the wall. Everything tells a story and in that moment as an artist, I become part of someone's story; part of their life. And it is another world that can be enjoyed in so many ways because its a perfect world to someone. I could not have made a better choice by choosing to create "Arts of Utopia." I have so much support and love from the people around me that I feel like I cannot fail. Its a journey I am willing to risk, and sacrifice for because doing this is my "Utopia." It is my perfect world!
 
I love when I walk into a room, and people actually notice my curves. They look at me and love me because they see a beautiful woman who loves herself.I think that my best curve is my smile. I believe a smile can make someone's day, and has the ability to change someone's life.

STARTING OVER...........

This is a very bitter sweet post and I hate that this has happend, All the time invested just ERASED with one click (REAL TEARS).
I had to delete my old blog and restart it brand spanking new as you all can see. I'm not sure what happened but all I know is that somehow all the pictures I have ever posted on my blog somehow saved to my phone (Hundreds) and when I went to delete the pictures it also deleted every photo on my blog so all was left were words, So I had no choice but to start over. One of the positives is that I was able to keep my name and web address (Thank Goodness), And another positive is that I get to start fresh with a new style new approach, better quality and much more. Being that I yet to have a folowing here at the moment I will be doing a lot of promotion and advertising to get the word out about the new and improved PLUS SIZE BRITTANY "DRESS FAB 4 LESS" BLOG.
