Glee star Amber Riley is feature in the new Essence Black Women in Hollywood Issue. Words can not describe how great she looks paying homage to the beautiful Chaka Khan. I’m so happy for her and I can’t wait to see more. Hopefully this issue will open up peoples eyes to a great new talent in Hollywood. She not only gracefully represents black women but young curvy women all over the world who dare to be confident.

Military Chic is another collection recently premiered at Torrid. The style is more nautical rather than focusing on the traditional camouflage and army inspirations. Honestly there wasn’t one piece that literally made me go “wow”. However, I do like that they are all very versatile and comfortable for every day wear. I especially love the stripes which mix beautifully with the soft color palette. (Who said curvy girls shouldn’t wear horizontal stripes) Overall this collection offers classic yet trendy pieces to be worn throughout any season.

Like many of us out there, shopping right now is unfortunately at the bottom of my list for things to do. I’m in the process of moving to Savannah, GA in a couple of months so I am on a realllly tight budget. However there is nothing wrong with a little lust so I will indulge myself. I am a big fan of the florals that are really popular this spring. I tend to stay away from them considering the fact that if I’m not careful I risk looking somewhat matronly. I did score a black floral peplum dress that I paired with my studded black blazer from Macy’s. I was apprehensive at first but I am happy with my choice. I bought a studded cuff from Hot Topic and wore my yellow clutch from Kohls. You can’t see the shoes but they are from Britney Spear’s line by Candies.Plus it gave me a chance to wear red lipstick, which I don’t do very often. 

<h4> IN LOVE WITH FLORAL </h4>
