JustFab August Unboxing

Happy Wednesday Darling Divas!
I’m back up on the blog, and today we are talking about SHOES! I have my recent JustFab Purchase, and I am so excited to share it with you! So sit back, relax, and let’s get started!

My August Just Fab Shoe of the Month The Rosario! 

The Three looks created with the Rosario Shoe!
Casual Cutie
Top-Fashion to Figure ( Via Dia&Co)
Shorts- Burlington Coat Factory
 Although Summer is coming to an end, this look is still perfect for all your end of season activities! A trip to the beach, amusement park, you name it this look will be perfect for it! 
Pop Of Pink
Blazer: JCPenney
Jumpsuit: Gifted 
(But I think it’s from either Rainbow or DebShops)
 
 
A Blazer is always a must for me, so when I saw this vibrant pink one, I knew it had to be mine! It adds structure and color to this plain old Jumpsuit. The shoes also compliment the pink and black! Such a fantastic color combo! 
Feelin’ Blue 
Dress: Fashion to Figure
 I have three of these Fashion to Figure dresses in different colors, and they honestly are the greatest thing ever invented! They can be dresses up or down, and the material is so forgiving! In this look, I wanted to keep it casual, but still wanted to be a little sexy. This look is great for if you are chilling with your boo and still want to catch his or her eye!

What’s In Your Bag?

Happy Friday Darling Divas!

I hope you all are getting ready for your fabulous weekend! In today’s blog post we ae going to talk all about bags! Purses, handbags, whatever you may call it, you need some in your wardrobe! When building your perfect wardrobe, accessories are just as important as clothing. Bags are great for holding all your items in a stylish way! So enough of the small talk, let’s get into the video!

Did you enjoy the video? I hope so!  Remember that there are collages for each bag category on Pinterest! Click here to check it out! What bag was your favorite? Comment it down below! Let’s get into the breakdown. 
Everyday Bag
This is going to be the bag that you carry with you every day! It’s super casual, comes in a neutral color to match with any outfit, and carries your life! I prefer satchel bags as my everyday bag because they are very fashionable, and is just big enough to carry all my personal belongings!

List of Everyday Bag Suggestions
Crossbody Bags
Crossbody bags are great for when you are on the go, or if you are traveling! This is a great choice
for keeping all your items close to you so that it doesn’t get stolen! I have so many of these bags because I take a lot of Ubers and public transportation. I want to keep all of my items secure, and this is the best way to do it!

Overnight Bag
A bag like this is great for when you are just going someplace for the night or weekend. It’s lightweight, easy to carry, and will hold just enough stuff for a couple of days. It also can double as a carry on back for vacation! 
List of suggested overnight bags
Clutch
A clutch or evening bag is just the right addition to your formal wear! They can be solid, printed, or blinged out! This is supposed to small so that it doesn’t take attention from your beautiful outfit! It doesn’t hold a lot of items, so you just need the essentials!

Dia&Co (October) Styling and Try on video

Hello All My Darling Divas
I’m back at it again with another video!! As promised in my post at 3 PM today, I am back here today with the styling and try on video for my October Dia box! If you want to check that out, click here! So let’s get this styling video going!

I hope you enjoyed! I loved every single piece from this box! I have been wearing them faithfully~ So let’s get into the breakdown for this box!

Celebrity Pink- Bree Mid Rise Skinny Jeans
Size:18
Keeping? YES
This is honestly one of the most comfortable pairs of jeans that I have ever had! They feel like butter. I have never had a black pair of jeans before, so I just knew I had to keep them! Jeans are always so easy to style. I would wear the jeans casually with a sweater and boots, and would dress it up with a beautiful blouse and ankle booties! 
 Michel Studio- Jada V-neck Peplum
Size- 1X
Keeping? Yes
I’m not sure why I am obsessed with peplums at the moment, but I just had to keep this one! It’s such a simple piece, and I know I can do a lot with this in my wardrobe! For me, peplum tops were made for pencil skirts and skinny jeans, so that’s exactly what I would style it with. For a night out I would style it with a bold pencil skirt and heels, and for a comfortable day, I would style it with jeans and a cardigan to keep warm!

Rachel Roy- Faye Oversized Jacket
Size- 1X
Keeping? Yes
I requested this jacket, and I regret nothing! I love how well its made, and how comfortable it is! A jean jacket  like this is so perfect for everything! Style it with a tunic top and leggings for your weekends, or with a printed dress and combat boots for an edgy look with a girly touch!

Fashion to Figure- Avril Top
Size- 1X
Keeping? Yes
At first, I wasn’t going to keep this top. But then I thought about how I can pair this with so many things in my closet. Since it’s something that I don’t have, I decided to take a shot and keep it! I instantly knew that I would style it with a midi skirt like this pink one. Add a choker and a pair of heels, and I have a retro look! For a badass rocker look, I would also wear it with black faux leggings and pointed cap flats!
Society Plus- Maude Waist Belt
Size- 2X
Keeping? Yes
I have always wanted a belt li
ke this, and I swear to you I am so happy that I finally have one! It just adds such a pop to any look! For a formal evening, I would wear it with my dress to give it some bling. I would also pair it with a shift dress to bring my shape back to life!

So that’s it for another double feature! Don’t worry if you’re tired of seeing me. You won’t again until next week! I seriously love everything about Dia&Co, and you should do!

So today I am coming at cha with the behind the scenes footage for the Fire Lookbook! This lookbook I have to say is the one that I am most proud of, and I explain that more in the video. Enough of the rambling let’s hop right in! 
  
Did you enjoy the video? I hope so! It’s always so great to look back and see how each of the looks was created since I filmed this footage so long ago! Special shout out to my two best friends for keeping me laughing and being the greatest people on the planet!! Below you will find further styling tips on each look. This time around I only gave you one styling option since all the looks in this lookbook are pretty wearable! 
 I love this look because of its bold high slit! Who doesn’t like showing a Lil leg? This look was my go-to outfit all summer, so I am pleased that this dress is finally making its NoMinusPlus Debut! 
Scenario:
A casual outfit like this is perfect for any weekend. Whether you are hanging out with friends, attending a family event, or chilling with your boo.
How To Transform:
I actually wore this dress for a night out a couple of weeks ago. I rocked it with a pair of suspender tights, a pair of black booties, and a fabulous purse! This creates a casual look with a pop of sexy! 
 
I used to tell myself that I couldn’t rock yellow because it would make me look muted. Well, I have been lying to myself because this yellow peplum is everything!
Scenario:
This outfit is a great option for Date night. It a pop of color, a little bit of sexy, and super comfortable since I’m wearing flats! 
How to Transform:
Ditch the skirt, and rock this beautiful peplum top with a pair of distressed skinny jeans, a fab pair of heels, and an amazing clutch for a bright and vibrant look perfect for a girls night out!
This outfit made me feel like a BAWSE! I’m not sure what is it about jumpsuits, but they always make me feel like I’m on top of the world! 
Scenario:
An outfit like this is another weekend favorite. You can wear it for a day of shopping, or for spending quality time with the people that you love! 
How To Transform:
Add some color to this black jumpsuit by switching the letterman’s jacket out for a blazer, wearing pumps instead of sneakers, and a clutch to make this jumpsuit great for the workplace or after office drinks!
 
This outfit gives me Bad Sandy from Grease vibes! I felt so cool rocking this look! And I also love that I transformed my red bathing suit into a bodysuit! You gotta be creative with your wardrobe! 
Scenario:
Since Halloween is next Monday, you could def rock this as a Sandy from Grease costume! All you need are pumps, a cigarette, and your best “Tell Me About It Stud” 
How To Transform:
Grab the pants from this and add a striped top, and a bold colored cardigan for a casual look with a pop of color!
Well, ladies, that’s it for today’s blog post! I can’t believe that next week will be the last element video!! October has flown by.
