BELLE-Air

As much as it sucks to see summer leave,

I am extremely excited about fall fashion.

I live for trench coats, riding boots, scarfs, leather jackets, knee-hi's, pea coats, & sweaters!

As a glamazon, it's hard to find clothes that are long enough and also flatter my curves.

But I've found that my favorite retailers are now becoming more tall girl & plus friendly.

I pretty much have my entire fall wardrobe.

YES Fall, this girl is ready for you!

FUN FACT:

I'm a fall baby.

Birthday: November 9th

These are the best times of the year.

Holidays are coming.

Everything is changing all around me.

I'm looking forward to the unexpected.

I'm looking forward to the memories.

I'm looking forward to blogging & growing!

I love this trench.

It cinches at the waist & falls like a tutu on the bottom half.

I didn't like this dress when I first pulled it but decided to try it on anyway (glad I did). I also purchased a similar lace dress from Target but this ones a little more dressy.

It's a size 14 but fits like a 12.

Absolutely love this dress!

There is something so beautiful & poetic about the way the flowers and leaves wither away- giving up their brightest, most beautiful colors right before dying.

This is why I love the fall.

Change is beautiful.

Summer Day Date

These summer days seem to be slipping by twice as fast. It's definitely a weird time of year to go shopping.

You wanna prep for fall but you also want more cutesy summer clothes.

My favorite retailers aren't making it any better with all these end of season clearance sales.

Here's a tip: Buy your fall staples FIRST & then have fun with those mega sales!

Don't waste time & money building your summer wardrobe, it's almost over.

My fiance took me on a surprise day date to lunch & to the beach.

He called me his genie all day- LOL.
I had such a great time.
We laughed & kissed all day like teenagers.
We ate at a secret seafood spot that I refuse to tell my friends about.
It's our little gem. *sticks out tongue*
By now you know I love food with all my heart.
When I say this is the BEST seafood I've ever had, it's an understatement.
Well worth the $120 tab.

I got this cute genie skirt from H&M. It's a cool Transitional Piece.

Anything that you purchase in the month of August should be a TP.

You'll thank yourself later when you realize you don't have to play catch up.

This skirt is so whimsical & pretty. I love, love, love it.

I always have trouble finding longer dresses because of my height but this was pretty long.
It's pretty sheer but has a visible underskirt- a trend I've never tried.

Here are a few selfies from my date;

"There's a long-legged girl in San Francisco by the Golden Gate."

"She said she'd give me all I wanted but I just couldn't wait."

"I started to pickin em up & layin em down,

pickin em up & layin em down..."

"There's a pretty brown in Birmingham..."

So, who said I couldn't loiter in front of this building? Right across from the police station. Like a boss...

Paint? Tee-Hee!

You keep all the rules, keep quiet. I'll keep doing what ppl said I could not.

I'll keep going against the grain.

I'll keep failing. I'll keep trying. I'll keep growing.

I'll keep SUCCESS.

A sense of freedom comes when you JUST DO what you are passionate about.

& right now, I'm passionate about looking amazing while breaking the law.

I can only hope you feel the same way about yourself.

Don't wait for someone else to compliment you.

COMPLIMENT YOURSELF.

You are what you THINK you are.

Stay curvy, beauty!

I'm going to lay here & enjoy one of the last few moments of the summer. It feels like the days are just zipping by. I'll just catch the sun & listen to music. This very spot will be full of snow soon. But not today...
