I met Taliah perhaps over a year ago via twitter. I think I need to buy some stock, LOL. I am still wondering how we missed each other. We clearly share the same friends, party at the same places, and more importantly we both heart sushi!

Taliah’s blog is so amazing to me. She’s one of those bloggers that finds the time to explore the world outside and take those fun quirky pics. Taliah is definitely one of those style bloggers that you want to shoot because they look good in everything! #URGH. But beyond of all that, I talk to Taliah now almost every day. IDK what I would do without my blog besties.

Take a peak inside Taliah’s world:

If you read my blog you’ll get lots of  versatility, vintage inspiration, and my all-over-the-place style.

My parents taught me to stay true to myself, love thy neighbor, and express individuality.

Everyone should know that I am not ashamed of using the repeat button and this goes for my favorite movies and songs.
Half the battle of blogging is staying consistent and editing/uploading photos.

Fashion is clothes and accessories but style is all about how you wear them and exude your confidence.

And idea I would try would be to start a non-profit organization for young girls who want to be creative in the arts and fashion but don’t have the support at home or school to do so.

If you could combine Bianca Jagger, vintage Ali Mcgraw, and Olivia Palermo’s style together, I would be complete.

If I could interview anyone it would be Kanye West and I would ask him what are three things that keeps his ever growing creativity going.

3 things fashion bloggers should do are (1) never stick to the script, (2) think outside the box and (3) always give your readers a cool and fresh part of who you are.

I could not agree more. For her second time, Heffner Seattle Plus Size Model, Tara Lynn graces the March cover of Elle France. This time, they dub her the body!

When I saw this posting from her Agency, I quickly headed over to Pippa’s site, Runway Revolution and happily she had the inside track on Miss Tara Lynn’s cover!

On the Elle France site, Tara Lynn is featured in an article that talks about her beauty and her (from what google translate shares) her love of brushing her teeth! LOL

“I brush my teeth all the time and everywhere, toothpaste, that’s fine, but we do not need it every time you brush,” she said. This girl with a big smile ultra bright is not the type to bother with conventions.”

They ask her what has changed over the last two years, since she last appeared on the cover (has it already been two years?). Since then, Tara Lynn has modeled for: Nordstrom, Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s, Forever 21, H&M, by Olivier, La Redoute, Tallissime, and Wacoal to name a few!

In her Elle France feature, she is shot by photographer: Marcin Tyszka and styled by Nora Bordiah. On the cover shot, she is wearing a top by Lanvin, underwear by Wacoal, and Yves Saint Laurent heel.

Congrats Tara Lynn! This makes me QUITE happy to see another cover for the Plus Size Women! If you speak French, please enjoy this Elle France interview and feature with Tara Lynn:

So, this spring I am not attending NYFW, but rather I am headed to Las Vegas to attend another mega fashion event: MAGIC! Last August, I attended my very first MAGIC Tradeshow and let me tell you I had a blast, but I wasn’t ready! I thought I was- but no.

Each season over 5,000 brands descend to Las Vegas for MAGIC, a fashion tradeshow uniting the largest and most influential network of buyers, brands, media and decision makers via innovative initiatives, exclusive access to cutting-edge information and conveniently merchandised show areas that I am a fan of: WWDMAGIC, FN PLATFORM, POOLTRADESHOW, PROJECT and SOURCING at MAGIC.

Seriously, it is amazing and overwhelming all at the same time, but if you are not prepared, MAGIC can kick your tail! So, as I get ready to head out to MAGIC, I through I would share with you some tips and tricks to make it through MAGIC Successfully!

Tips to Make it Through MAGIC Fashionably and Sanely

• ·Wear shoes MADE for walking.Please note, not all flats are made for walking. I paid the price last season as I thought I could sashay through the 1,000,000 square footage convention halls… Um, my feet had me paying the price through the rest of my trip.
• ·Bring your chargers.As you are snapping photos, tweeting, updating your blog, these things can drain your battery quite fast and you will have to have moments where you can recharge and relax your feet. Thank God, for the Blogger Lounges I was a part of last season, or my poor overworked phone would have died ten thousand deaths!
• ·Bring a great carryall bag.Trying to carry your purse, iPad, Tablet, notebooks, and merchandise from and about all the brands you have can get quite overwhelming if you are not ready. Please note, your bag should be made for carrying vast amounts of weight and hopefully has the ability to stay organized. I was so grateful for my MZ Wallace bag- this saved my hands and arms!
• ·Get your Coffee fix EARLY.If you think leaving your hotel room with 15 mins to spare to get in and out at the coffee spot will work? You my dear, are so WRONG! These lines were everywhere! My poor caffeine addicted self was in a flurry trying to think I could speed through and just grab a cup of joe. Please, plan accordingly… Give yourself at least 30 mins just for coffee. 
• ·Snack Attack.I ran myself to the floor being so overwhelmed without snacking or eating well throughout my time at MAGIC, please do not do the same mistake as I! Bring little energy bars, snacks, or whatever will give you energy throughout the day! Before you know it, it is 6pm and you realized you only had a slice of pizza all day. There are many places to get your eat on and I highly advise you take full advantage!

Q. Have you been to MAGIC? What tips would you have for those attending? Did I forget anything? If you are on Twitter, make sure you follow @WWWDMAGIC and the hashtag: #MAGICLV for the latest news and join the convo!

***WWDMAGIC is sponsoring my trip to Magic and I have been compensated to cover the event but the opinions are all my own!!***

I would be remiss not to acknowledge that Valentine is a week and some change away! As the day approaches, whether you have plans with the beau, the girls, or yourself (YES, have you taken yourself out before?), I thought I would round up some fun Date Night Picks!

Valentines, interestingly enough has a love hate relationship with a more than a few people and while some may rumble over the commercialized aspect of this, to others, Valentine’s Day is REAL. I have only had a Valentine once in my life… In fact as I write this, I am single and sooo ready to mingle, but that does not take away from the fact that I love this day- but I am also a big sappy, hopeless romantic, and secretly wish for flowers to be delivered to me… but that is another story…

Don’t worry, while I am sharing Date Night Picks, later in the week, I will share some fun lingerie picks for the grown and sexy… Hey, we do have a few options! In the meantime, take a peek at some of my favorites and if you already have your date night outfit, I want to know! Share in the comments!
