NYC Style Spot   +  Inspiration

Happy Valentine's Day!
Happy Valentine's Day!!! So many of my readers and friends have asked how I like LA so far--the truth is I haven't really had time to settle in yet. My place is full of boxes, but almost as soon as I got there, I had to turn around and head to NYC for the last few days of Fashion Week. My trip was sponsored by the fashion brand maurices, which offers both straight and plus sizes. When they reached out to me, I hadn't heard of them, but I was really pleasantly surprised when I got a box in the mail and everything was cute and fit well (note: the fit is true to size, which means it runs about a size smaller than ASOS). For my first day at Fashion Week, I paired their embellished blush top and their really cute statement necklace with an ASOS skater skirt, a long teal coat from OneStopPlus and River Island boots. I love how it came together--and it unintentionally is very V-day appropriate!photo editnewgabipastel1_zps9226c698.jpgphoto editgabipastel2_zps55cb6f0e.jpgphoto newIMG_2829_zpse83b124d.jpgphoto newIMG_2861_zps886b0674.jpg Top-maurices/Necklace-maurices/Coat-OneStopPlus/Skirt-ASOS (size 14)/Shoes-ASOS/Clutch-GiGi/Sunglasses-street vendor
