Style Capture: Suki Waterhouse

 So my cousin, who is also my best friend and blog picture taker extraordinaire sent me the top picture from Glamour Magazine with a quote of: "Can we plus this up?" Why, yes ma'am we sure can! Ive always been a fan of the glam suit and I'm preetttttyyy stoked its coming back! The trick with these bad boys is the fit. Don't be afraid to tailor if the fit is too boxy. I also like the super cleavage to fem it up a bit. Super cleave is up to you- but I wouldnt suggest it for the office.

I found all of the clothes in this re-do at Lane Bryant (because... of course) and the shoes are actually a Target find. Links below.

Style Capture: Melissa McCarthy



Melissa's look was all over the internet shortly after her appearance. Then I got the picture from a friend with a "check it out!" message attached. Everyone was loving it. Understandably! Its a great look! Simple yet chic. Any time I can throw a hint of a leather look into my outfit, I will do it. Not to mention, Melissa is about as close as I'm going to get to a celebrity doppelganger (Im free for stunts, just sayin'...call me, Melissa!!) so I  am excited to recreate this look for you.

What takes this look from drab to fab is the leather-like detailing. Sometimes it is the smallest of details that makes the difference between boring and bangin'. Leather or leather like materials give you a bit of an edge so your look doesn't fall flat.

This look is super easy to replicate. If you have as much black in your closet as I do, you could easily run in and come out with something pretty close. I may take the challenge- but what we really care about here are the links to the items, amiright? See those below:

Top: City Chic | Pants: Asos Curve | Shoes: DSW | Clutch: Nordstrom

Style Capture: Miss Piggy




When I think about who I first experienced as the first loved plus size gal, my mind always goes to Miss Piggy. The girl is fabulous! She had her man, she had her style and she had her sass. Ultimate sass. I'm sure I came with sass naturally, but Miss Piggy definitely showed me that you don't have to hide just because you aren't what you think other people might want.

I saw this picture of Miss Piggy and thought she looked fierce so I wanted to be able to share the look. The skirt and top separates are from Jibri, an online shop on Etsy. They are certainly investment pieces at a bit of a higher price point than some budgets allow, but the shoes and belt from Asos are definitely budget friendly.

If you want more of the dramatic sleeve look Jibri has another top that blouses out a bit more- certainly a fun look!
