Thick Snack Attack: S A V V Y

I've been following S A V V Y on  Twitter for a while now, but I just decided to go through her Twitpics out of boredom. Those pics confirmed what I had known for a while. Miss S A A V Y is the epitome of badbi**hness.   Her style is loud and in your face and I LOVE it. Beat face + Sick Hair + Bananas Outfit = Thicksnacknessfordays

In her own words, S A A V Y states: 
I come from a long line of Large Luscious Lovelies. As a child, I remember sitting, in awe, watching my mom dress. She always did so as if she was unaware of or indifferent to the fact that she wasn't the size that society saw as acceptable. Instead of hiding behind bulky, bland, boring pieces she dressed to be SEEN. Big hair. Big accessories. Beat face. Colors. Patterns. Heels.

She was always a fat force NOT to be f**ked with which is why she's my O.G. Style Icon. With her example, I never thought I couldn't be fashionable because of my full-figure.
Believe it or not: I've always been shy, but have never allowed that shyness show in my wardrobe. I've always taken fashion risks by  changing my hair often and infusing my outfits with bold, "HERE I AM!" colors. Red, Yellow, Orange, and Turquoise are my absolute faves. And since it's so difficult to find cute, quality items in these colors in my size, I mostly wear Black for its polished, chic, easy aesthetic. In turn, it's the job of my accessories to give my garments the POW! that is lacking by its conservative coloring.







I need these glasses in my life. RIGHT NOW!!!


That hat is perfection. YESSSS!!!




GORGEOUSNESS!!

Gwen Stefani has this celebrity fashion line game on LOCK. L.A.M.B. is consistently my favorite show of each season. The RTW Fall 2010 collection is no exception. Some of the pieces from the line were lost in transit due to the heavy amount of snow that hit the east coast earlier this week. This forced the folks over at L.A.M.B. to make some adjustments before the presentation. The hodge- podge of everythingness seemed like a a mess on paper but was executed perfectly. Denim, military, lingerie, vintage pin-up...YES. Perfection. I cannot wait to get myself strung up on one of these belt/ vest contraptions.

NY Fashion Week Fall 2010: BCBG Max Azria

I usually cringe when I hear the name Max Azria. Not that he is not a great designer, it's just that I always think of that horrific Miley Cyrus for Walmart line that he does. It kind of makes my skin crawl. But I will concede that the RTW Fall 2010 line is quite awesome. It's full of draped pieces that can be worn effortlessly. Layer the dresses and cinch your waist and you are on the move. And yes people ...SEQUINS ARE BACK for the fall.

Bag Game Proper: Anthropologie Ringmaster Tote

Since it's just me an you.....I am going to be completely honest. Clowns and their ilk scare the s*** out of me. Ever sine I say Stephen Kings "It" I've had a paralyzing fear that a clown would run up on me in an ice cream truck and murder mw. Irrational? Maybe. But fear is rarely rational.  When I saw this ringmaster tote from Anthropologie I nearly fell out of my seat before I realized that it was kind of awesome. It's a playful conversation piece that would be awesome to wear with all the denim and light leather that will be popping this spring/summer. 


Foot Game Proper: Denim Shoes for Spring

Spring/ Summer 2010 runways were full of denim looks. It's clear that denim is no longer just for jeans. Some spring you will see fashionistas (and others ) rocking their blue jeans in all different ways.  My life needs a denim shoe. Here are my faves:
