Bohemian SWAK Brunch

Wearing: Thrifted Dress, Old Urban Outfitters sandals, Street Vendor sunglasses 

A few weeks ago I went to a brunch for Swak boutique  with some of my blogger babe friends ( I love seeing all the random pics I have with the ever so cute Kelly of Masquemag.com) . It was on top of 230 Fifth Avenue in NYC. As you can see it has an awesome tropical vibe and an amazing view of the city.

And whether you prefer a maxidress, skater dress or anything in between, plus sizebrands are offering up tons of fabulous options. In preparation for one of my favorite seasons, I have been doing some serious recon on plus size spring dresses. Click through to shop 15 options sure to work with all body types, including flowing, long and short varieties. Tip: if you are busty, don’t be afraid to try a pretty neckline, like a sweetheart cut or boatneck.

Wearing: Vintage sweater, Debsshops.com skirt, Hue tights, Nine West boots, Forever 21 necklace

On Feb 9th I attended a night of fashion week presentations at Milk studios with my good friend Melanie from Moda Operandi. The presentations brought out some of fashion's elite including one of my style icons Taylor Tomsai Hill! The designers pictured above include Ostwald Helgason, Calla, and a new designer showcase. As you can see the above looks are full of amazing color and print combinations, all of which are definite show stoppers. We ended the night at Tortilla Flats where we turned the back area into a dance floor and blasted our girl B Spears !
