One Year Blogiversary!


Happy one year blogiversary to my little bloggy, Fatale Fashion!

I can't believe it's been a year since I started documenting my outfits for the world to see! WOW have we come a long way since my first post! I continue to be inspired by all the fabulous fashion bloggers out there, but especially by YOU, my wonderful readers! I can't tell you how much all your love and support means to me, whether it comes from your comments, tweets, emails, or even just pageviews! It's YOU who makes writing this blog such a positive experience, and who keeps me coming back to write more. I couldn't do it without you!!

Which is why I'm teaming up with Lucie to give one of you lovely ladies a $50 gift certificate to her plus size boutique, LucieLu!



Good luck!

BTW, what do you guys thing of Rafflecopter? Better or worse than doing giveaways the traditional way?

I'm a bit behind the times here! This was my work outfit on Friday, and as far as last minute outfits go, I like this a lot!

The plum top I'm wearing was sent to me by the lovely Lucie of LucieLu. She touts the Veola Top as best suited for busty girls, and she was definitely right. I love the pleating detail at the bust, which enhances rather than overpowers as many tops with pleating/ruffle details do when it comes to girls with big girls. My favorite thing about this top though, is the v-neckline, and that it's flattering without being too low. If there's one thing I hate, it's always having to layer tanks under my v-necks because my heavy duty lock-and-load-those-bad-boys bra ALWAYS shows. I received this top in a 2x as Lucie recommended I size down - my bust measurement, 47in, put me in between a 2x and 3x. I'd definitely recommend this top for other well-endowed fashionistas - It's cute and flattering and so easy to remix in countless ways.

I paired the top with this leopard print cardigan (thanks, Mom!), my denim trousers (now a staple), black booties, and some of my favorite silver accessories. I've really started to embrace wide-leg trousers/pants as of late. I've come to realize that they are some of the most flattering for my shape as far as bottoms go. I love the elongated legline I get from wearing long trousers with heels juuust peaking out the bottoms.

Also, I hope you all had a lovely Valentine's Day! We had beautiful weather here in NJ yesterday, so the boyfriend and I spent ours wandering around Montclair, which is full of little shops and boutiques, as well as this awesome old bookstore where we spent at least an hour browsing and walked out with a stack of books. We also popped into Urban Outfitters where boyfriend picked up these hilarious socks, as well as "Like" and "Dislike" stamps to use while grading his students' papers. Love it! I found myself absolutely drooling over a few dresses, but of course they're not carried in my size. I also agonized over this gorgeous blanket, but just couldn't rationalize spending the money. One day!
