I’m giving away a $100 gift card for Bareplus, the amazing plus size intimates website! All you have to do is like Bareplus on Facebook and tell them your worst bra story and/or why you need an intimates makeover! The winner will be chosen Thursday the 26th, so enter now!!

It’s time to get rid of your smashing, overflowing, too small or too big bras & finally wear one that’s jusssssssst right.

50-75% of women are wearing the wrong size bra (and you’re probably one of them). After being inundated with advertising that shows women wearing undersized push-up bras that they’re spilling out of, the average woman thinks it’s normal to be falling out of her bra cups and making constant strap and band adjustments. I’m here to tell you that’s not the way it’s suppose to be!

BarePlus.com, the amazing plus size intimates site, understands the pain & frustration that full figured women endure when it comes to finding a great-fitting bra. They want you to find your perfect fit and the perfect bra for your bust. Thanks to their amazing fit tips and their fabulously helpful customer service, you’re practically guaranteed to find the bra of your dreams!

And what’s the best way to begin your brand new relationship? With a $100 gift card of course! How can you win? Easy! Just like Bareplus on Facebook and tell them your worst bra story and/or why you need an intimates makeover! The winner will be chosen Thursday the 26th, so enter now!!

(And yes, that’s me up there: I was wearing a 38DDD in the grey bra… turns out I’m actually a 38GG. Huge difference in fit & comfort, and I no longer have awkward moments where I realize my chest has spilled out of my bra. Hurray good bras!)

This giveaway is sponsored by Bareplus by Barenecessities.com. P.S. It’s Fashion is hosting the giveaway.

I went to the American Rag event at W.I.P. on Tuesday night where I was able to meet their new “It Girl,” Lenay Dunn. With her fresh-faced Midwest looks and sweet, bubbly personality, she was a far cry from the typical “It Girl” that’s plastered all over blogs with scraggly hair, a scowl and last night’s makeup smeared on her face. Lenay offered a charming and unjaded take on her thoughts about American Rag, Macy’s, fashion and music.

“Well, I’m American Rag’s new It Girl! It was cool,” she continued, “Macy’s reached out to me and said ‘We love the way you dress, the way you style yourself, we know you’re into music and fashion and we think you’d be great to represent our brand!’ And I was like wow thanks! Like, of course! It’s a partnership made in heaven, I love it!”

Not only will Lenay wear American Rag on her MTV show, 10 on Top, she will also be clad in American Rag as she reports from various shows and events this summer, such as Bamboozle, SXSW and Warped Tour. She will also be blogging for Raggedmag.com, the online American Rag Magazine.

P.S. American Rag also has a plus size line, American Rag Plus (which is where my awesome colored jeans are from!), that is available in Macy’s stores and online at: American Rag Plus

Lenay is wearing all American Rag.

Lovers forever... face to face
My city or mountains
Stay with me stay
I need you to love me
I need you today
Give to me your leather...
Take from me... my lace

Out of all the amazing fashion contrasts there are out there my favorite has to be leather & lace. The edginess of the tough leather paired with the femininity of the romantic lace is such a delicious contradiction it’s a guarantee to make anyone stop and stare.

I started the outfit with a lace skirt as an easy base, then added a long-sleeve button-down collared shirt in a contrasting lace pattern. The two different lace patterns help break up the outfit and prevent it from looking like a dress. I topped off the lace shirt with an edgy asymmetrical leather vest to give the outfit some bite.

I continued the leather & lace theme with an Alexander McQueen inspired clutch and black suede booties that I spiked myself! The lace clutch is one of my favorite accessories (although I wish it was slightly bigger so I could store more things), as it has a bejeweled skull four-finger knuckle clasp- it’s a clutch and a ring! And I’m quite proud of the spiked booties- I bought them cheap at Target and spiked them myself. (I bought the spikes at http://studsandspikes.com). Spiking the shoes was not that easy and it’s quite the arm workout, but I think it was totally worth it!

So get a little femme, get a little butch, and toss on some leather & lace!

Ooh la la!

I was originally just looking for a basic dress to play off my red accessories (to match my red hair) and I ended up feeling very comment voulez-vous dire… French?

While I didn’t necessarily see people walking around Paris dressed like this, the classic black & white striped dress with the vintage red, white, blue & gold neck scarf certainly gave me a stereotypical French look. While I didn’t top it off with an obvious beret or cigarette, I did continue the color theme by adding red suede platform heels and a black & white jewel print clutch. The amazing Erickson Beamon satin clutch also has two amazing crystal tassel  zip pulls on the front that mimics the print. I added some over-sized round sunglasses towards the end to protect from the blistering soleil. 

I certainly think it gives me a little… je ne sais quoi, wouldn’t you say?

Dress: Forever 21

Belt: Target

Scarf: Vintage

Sometimes inspiration can be found in the strangest places. In my case, the inspiration for this outfit came from a picture of a child I saw on Tumblr. (For the record, I’m not a fan of children, so those that know me would find this even stranger).

With nippier weather, this outfit offers a cosy, casual and warm weekend look that is perfect for running errands as well as curling up in front of the fire. The maxi skirt offers a long line for a flattering look, as well as offering protection from the outside air.

Layering is key when you’re running around, as temps change from location to location. A long sleeve thermal and edgy zip-up vest offer substantial warmth without adding much bulk. Keeping them in the same tonal family is also flattering, and black is a universal color that works on all skin tones.

Topping off the look with a thick knit beanie and gold-tipped cat-eye sunglasses keeps the casual and edgy theme running from head to toe.

Dress (worn as skirt): Norma Kamali for Walmart

Black thermal: Target
