Say hello to Fatale Fashion's newest sponsor, Vantage Point Vintage! This fantastic little vintage shop is run by Jenny with the help of her husband Josh, who together are striving to bring great vintage to fashion lovers of all sizes. When Jenny reached out to me about forming this partnership, I was so excited to browse through her stock to scope out the plus size options. She's got some gems!

Sale Alert!

Macy's is having one of it's epic clearance sales! I got Christmas gifts for a few people, all for the price of what I would have paid for one particular person's regular priced gift (I won't tell what in case they're reading!).  Today's the last day, so don't miss it!

Unblogged

A lot of times I wear outfits I love, but they don't get blogged for one reason or another. I still want to share them, so I started snapping some shots of those outfits in the bathroom at work (let me tell you, it's very awkward getting caught standing on the couch by another bathroom going employee!). Every week or so I'll share those outfits in this format for your viewing pleasure! I won't share outfit details, so if you have a question about a particular item, let me know!


You'll definitely be seeing a few of these outfits redone in full OOTDs!

Losing light

Dress: ASOS Curve. Scarf: Uniqlo. Teggings: Re/Dress. Boots: OneStopPlus. Belt: Syms. Blazer: Gap. Ring: Street fair in Fairfax, VA.

We are losing afternoon light fast here on the east coast - daylight savings time is really going to screw me in the after-work photo department very soon. I'm still getting the last dregs of pretty golden light at this point and I'll be savoring it!

Every so often an item will come along that I fervently wish I had bought a back up of. This jersey dress from ASOS Curve is one of those items. I got it on super sale last fall, and have been wishing I bought a second ever since. It's held up really well so far, but I'm dreading the day I inevitably spill on it or rip it (knock on wood)! This piece has always been so easy to style up or down; two of my favorite outfits ever have it as a base.

Do you own and item that you wish you bought a back up of? Or something you have bought a backup of?

Up for grabs: Evans Booties

I ordered these Evans booties a few weeks ago and they're simply too wide and even a bit too big for my 9-9 1/2 foot. I got them with a sale code for $40 + shipping, but I'm willing to sell them for $35 + shipping (I'd let you know how much shipping would be from my PO before I sent - they're selling for $49 + $10 shipping on Evans right now). Anyone interested? Questions about the booties? Email me or comment here!

Back to my default pairing of this red Forever21+ skirt: black! I love the drapey silhouette the sleeves of this top creates with the fitted skirt, and how a thin black belt cinched it so perfectly around my waist. I really can never get enough of black, white silver and red together; it's just so crisp and chic!

In other news: It's looking like these boots, my most favorite pair from Evans circa 2009, are about ready for retirement. Let's be real, they were ready for retirement LAST season, but I just couldn't bear to part with them - they're so comfortable and fit my wide calves perfectly!

But I've got my eye on another pair from Evans to replace my dearly departed friends...

Spotted: Crystal Renn


Spotted: Former plus model Crystal Renn on Anne Taylor Loft's homepage. Looking absolutely stunning as usual, but no one could even try to call her a plus model.
