Blonde in the District

It's that time of the year, friends! ELOQUII is having their outlet sale! Cue the excitement! I always love shopping the outlet sale as I can grab items that I didn't buy in earlier seasons for a fraction of the price! Its a great time to stock up on summer dresses, basics, and items you know you'll need next in upcoming seasons! Especially with prices starting at just $15- now is the perfect time to shop! So, without further anticipation, I've compiled a list of my faves fro

In an effort to mix it up a bit and bring some fun to quarantine, I decided to create a fun video inspired by some of my fave new arrivals from ELOQUII and some of my fave emojis for ELOQUII looks as emojis! Feeling stuck the past few days wanting to create something new, I decided to put together these fun looks full of character and happiness! I hope you enjoy it!

To kick off a full day of fashion shows for the main Paris Fashion Week day of my trip, I decided to go full on Parisian chic for a morning shoot at the Louvre followed by coffee and croissants! From my trips to Paris, I have learned that the color palette of Parisian women is black, black, and more black, lol. If you see someone is a super loud outfit in Paris, its almost a given that they are not Parisian! In the winter months I noticed that the fun self expression in outfi

Can I get a huge high five for fall, ya'll? (sending virtual hive-fives all around!) Now that the weather has FINALLY dropped below 70 in DC, I'm pumped for all the clothing, shoes, and accessories to go with it- sweaters, denim, OTK boots, scarves, and TWEED print! Since I've peeped tweed, windowpane, and plaid suits all over the NYFW street style scene for the past two seasons, I'm telling you its going to be huge this fall and into winter. And to be honest, I can't get eno

I know it sounds weird to say, but I sometimes feel the most attractive when I am in a fully covered outfit. This past winter I literally lived in a black turtleneck, black leather skirt, black tights, and boots, and I gotta say- although no skin was exposed, I felt like a boss. The same goes for suits. I own a handful of suits from ELOQUII (their suits are the best!) and after an event last night where I wore the Beyonce inspired suit from the Apesh*t video, and felt like a

When you walk into my closet it may surprise you at the range of colors and prints you may see. I have my clothing racks categorized by colors, print, or sequins, and although you may see me in colorful items most of the time, my biggest selection of colors is black. After that, its reds and pinks, blues, prints, and then sequins. Although I have a colorful closet, the one color most missing is yellow. As a blonde, I always felt like I couldn't wear yellow. I always shied awa

So its not surprise here that I love sequins, and its also no surprise that I love ELOQUII. It's even more of a non-shocker that I love a good sale. You're probably wondering where I'm going with this, and I'll tell you where I'm going.... straight to the ELOQUII sale! ELOQUII x Jason Wu Dress (no longer available, but similar styles linked below) After the holidays and right as brands are looking to get rid of all their winter inventory to make way for spring new arrivals is

Right now, the only thing that is getting me out of the Christmas-is-over blues, are all of the amazing sales going on RIGHT NOW! My favorite plus retailer, ELOQUII, is at the top of the chart on sales with their Semi-Annual Clearance event with markdowns up to 80% off. YES, 80% OFF!!!! Today I'm sharing some of my favorite picks from the sale, with each item $50 or under! If you are local to DC, or in NYC, Chicago, Detroit, Miami, or Houston, you can also shop the sale in-st

I just realized that with all the Holiday Gift Guides I've been working on, I haven't posted any holiday style guides! As its the season of holiday parties and glam overload, today I've compiled 10 different ELOQUII looks to inspire you to get ready for upcoming holiday parties and New Years Eve! If you already know what you're wearing- congrats for being ahead of the curve! For those that are looking for some inspo on what to wear, or haven't even begun to even think about h

I KNEW that plaid was going to be hot this season, but I never anticipated to become plaid obsessed, like I have. Maybe its really because I am *almost* always super into what's hot at the moment, or maybe I just really like the prints, but I am into it ALL. My favorite plus retailer, ELOQUII, always knows how to translate the hottest trends into options for curvier women, and they have totally upped the plaid game recently. In fact, they just launched a whole new plaid colle

LADY GAGA. Quite possibly my favorite icon ever. I still remember the first time I heard Just Dance and wondering who it was. In fact, I at first didn't like Lady Gaga. I don't think I understood her. I enjoyed her music but her over the top performances always left me confused and her costumes.... well, those left me confused too. It wasn't until Bad Romance came out that everything changed, and the "little monster" in me was born. Bad Romance came out at a time in my life t

You guys. I was just thinking of boots and how I'm obsessing over the new ELOQUII boot selection for winter. As I was looking online, I checked my Instagram DM's and there was a message from Tracy, who is a reader who lives in Italy, and she said she had a dream that we were at a dinner party together and I made her try on the shoes I was wearing- which happened to be rainbow sparkly boots. LOL- this totally sounds like something that would happen/I'd wear in real life! So fu

It’s October 1. Are you planning to be a bad witch or a basic witch this Halloween season? LOL, I saw a meme today with this question and it cracked me up, so I had to share. Speaking of Halloween season, save the date for Oct 27! Caro of The Caro Love and I will be throwing a Black Cat Soiree Halloween Costume Party and you are invited! Today I want to chat about a trend that isn’t at all basic- leopard print. This fall, leopard print is everywhere and the more of it, the be

Perhaps you recall that lavender wide leg suit I wore time and time again last spring. The suit I'm referring to was a huge hit among ELOQUII fans and I heard from a little bird that its coming out in more colors soon (eeeek!!). While I'm waiting on one of my favorite suits I've ever owned to drop in more colors, I've taken it upon myself to explore other ELOQUII suits, as I'm seeing power suits to be hot Hot HOT this fall/winter. I don't own enough coordinating suits, so rec

Well, friends, this weekend marks the official end to summer. And my thoughts are- good riddance summer heat wave, lol. While everyone else is ranting that its *still* summer, and fall isn't here yet I'm over here waiting for fall/winter likeeeeeeeee: Elizabeth Taylor Photo from Pinterest What can I say, I love the fall and winter crisp cool weather. Plus, I'm really over dripping in sweat every time I walk outside. I also love fall and winter for the style. Fabulous coats an

This past Saturday I attended Diner en Blanc in DC for the second year. Diner en Blanc was started in Paris in the late 80s and is essentially a fancy picnic where everything you wear and bring is white, and you cart all of your supplies with you (table, chairs, food, decor, etc). Diner en Blanc is know for its over the top reputation and is one of the best events for people watching in all of DC, as people go all out with their personal style and looks. Given this fact, I kn

Shortest Horror Story Ever: It's Sold Out. Anyone else laugh at this meme, but also know all the feels of how terrible it is when something you've been eyeing is sold out? Me too. Image from Pinterest Last summer, ELOQUII had some of the cutest clothes. Don't get me wrong- they still have some of the cutest clothes in the entire plus industry, but last summer was REALLL cute. Included in the list of REALLL cute items, was this zebra print dress. I'm not sure why, but I didn't

If there's one thing I love, its a sale! Even better if its a clearance sale!!!! Right now, ELOQUII is having their semi-annual clearance sale and its insane. I personally ordered 6 items all for just $120. That averages $20 per item- which at ELOQUII is a huge bargain! I could have shopped way more, but my pockets are still feeling a little tight after Vegas, if you get what I mean :) In browsing the semi-annual clearance sale, I saw a ton of amazing deals on items that I to

Last week I spent 8 days in Fabulous Las Vegas. 8 days may seem like too much to some, but to me, its just right <I love Vegas!>. The purpose of our trip was for a work conference for The UPS Store (we own the location in Old Town Alexandria!), but my husband and I tacked on time the weekend before the conference started to have some fun! Packing for 8 days in Vegas can seem like a burden. If you're like me, you over pack, unpack, re- over pack again right before your flight

Last week I visited Ladurée in Georgetown for the first time on my birthday with my girl Arielle Lewis Studios! You may know I love anything French so celebrating my birthday at a place such as Laudrée was a no-brainer. Laudrée is located in Georgetown and it’s so stunningly adorable. There are elegant chairs, chandeliers, and all the macarons your little heart could desire. The staff is all French, making me feel like I had instantly been transported to Paris. The Laudrée br
