Shopping !!!!

As fall is approaching I realize I need to go and do some damage to my account because I barely have anything to keep me warm that`s stylish for the cold weather. Yikes! This season I am seeing a lot of over sized sweaters,cardigans and tops being paired with crop pants. As well one of my favorite things are leggings and normally I would double up in winter because they are thin but I have been seeing thick leggings, almost a pant material but is soft and comfortable like leggings. The military jacket was in last season but has made a return and I might get one, they are great to style up a casual outfit or dress down a fancy one.

As a fashion blogger I feel ashamed (only a little) because of my shoe collection, it`s horrible. I have barely any heels,I think they all walked out on me, and none of some of the essentials.I need more stockings especially the printed ones, and i need way more dresses to get ready for the holiday parties.

MY ESSENTIALS
1.classic black pump
2.colored pump
3.fitted blazer
4.sexy booties
5.patent black purse
6.nude color sidebag
7.white v-neck tee/tank
8.boyfriend jeans
9.black mini skirt
10.denim jacket
11.LBD
12.bold rings

Boy am I slacking. No need to worry because now that school is back in session, I will have to buckle down and focus less on going partying and more on you. The only sad part is that my shopping will have to wait until the paycheck comes, then I will go crazy.

Have you realized your wardrobe is not ready for Fall/Winter 2010? Tell me what essentials your are missing out on?

Sexy:sexually attractive or exciting (Oxford Dictionary)
It occurred to me that sexy is a word used very often in every day conversations and I wondered What do people really thin is sexy?

I personally think sexy comes in different categories, and often gets jumbled into one which is is she hot or not? Women can be sexy covered from head to toe, sexy when they speak and sexy when they are powerful. Feeling sexy is a feeling EVERY single woman should FEEL and you are no exception. One thing I admire about all of my friends is that feeling sexy becomes apart of their daily lives. They will wake up,get dressed, put on makeup then take a double look at themselves and smile even laugh at just how gorgeous and sexy they are. So i challenge you to take a double look in the mornings or whenever you are going out at how sexy you are, it does not mean wearing the most revealing top but could just be the way your hair is. And remember if you love to show off what you have that's sexy too.

Try it and tell me how your day went after that.

Here are some pictures of some days i felt sexy.

Pink nights

Taking walks at night are one of my favorite things to do, so I wanted to try taking a few pictures, they came out okay i just need to get a better camera but good things come to those who wait.

Caribana !!!

Caribana for those who do not know is a Caribbean parade, that has many different types of music like soca, dance-hall, reggae and others. The parade\festival has different floats,bands and people dressed in costumes. The festival is not only for caribbean people but for anyone looking to jump and whine and have a good time. I finally enjoyed myself for the first time,though I have been many times before, with some of my friends. I had so much fun I plan on wearing a mask and costume next year!

Trendy: Shredded

So I have been searching the blogosphere and online magazines looking for some inspiration, and I found it. I have been seeing a lot of people and celebrities wearing distresses t-shirts and blouses. At first glance I was not sure it was something that would take off but it sure has. I first seen Miley Cyrus in a grey distressed t-shirt then i seen a fellow blogger Musings of a Fatshionista,and now its taking over. I jumped on that bandwagon too, and they are easy to make. Unlike the celebrities who can buy a shredded tee for $200, why not DIY. It`s easy.

Jaea Magzine Unleashed Fashion and Music Fundraiser

This event was short noticed since i found out two days before but it made no difference because Rhea S. of Jaea mag hooked me and Deliciously fat up!!!

Here goes the rundown of the night. In true fashion the show was began late but there was never a dull moment. The designers brought there A-game, the crowd was warm and fun but i have to give it up to the dj's for keeping me happy and in a sweet mood all night, with there early 90's throw backs and mixes. The only bit of criticism I had was one of the hosts was walking in between models while the show was taking place. I personaly found that rude not only to guest who could not see or photographers but the designers who should have gotten that respect. He was a lovely guy nonetheless.

Hosts: Shannon Boodram, Quinn Martin and Sherry Rampersaud

Sorry is some of the pictures are bad, I am in the process of getting a better one and some of my pictures got misplaced so this is based off memory.Also check out the videos for the collections on my YouTube page GarciaBlogger







The Performers included Jelly,Chin Chilla,Unbuttoned,Wolf J,and many more. Check my youtube page for some videos of the performances @ GarciaBlogger

Less is more

I know many of us do not believe that less is more, well its time to change. Less is more has this negative stigma surrounding it of being trashy, and slutty but wearing less can be very classy.

The reason for this post Canada is getting some amazing weather here and I am tired of seeing young women in sweat pants (WTF), pajama tops, and overly baggy t-shirts with a too short cut of denims. I believe summer is the season to expose your body,show us what your working with.

Here are a few outfits and tips I put together to help you show some skin in a classy, sexy way.

Tip 1: Short shorts

Yes you can wear those shorts, get a pair that fits higher on the waist and way below the buttocks because thats just not flattering on anyone. Pair it with a light material printed blouse and a thin belt (optional).

Tip 2: Banded Skirt

These skirts have been a hit since last year and are still looking fab for the year to come. They come in many different colors and can dress up any outfit or give it the casual feel. You can pair it with a baggy colored t-shirt, and a statement necklace.

Tip3:Stripes

Many of you have many striped blouses but aren`t sure if you can wear them anymore. Yes ladies you can make them look modern by wearing it with a banded skirt and a thin belt. Add to the casual by wearing some comfy flats or gladiator sandals. You can wear this out to a movie.

I AM READY

I am ready for love, life, future, and anything else this planet has to offer. In life we are given rules and judgment from the day we were born, to the day we die and rarely do we ever stop to think about what "I" want, the few who do live an extraordinary life with no regrets. This is exactly what I am doing, living. Are you?

A tad bit more is about fatshion and how being fat can but will not affect what I wear and how far I get in life. I am here to uplift any girl, or woman`s confidence and self-esteem. It is becoming a get skinny pandemic and I will not stand by and let it take over the world. Too often I hear about the latest diets, models eating a celery stick for lunch or another sad story about how an eating disorder has taken another young woman or man`s life.

A tad bit more is your source for instant confidence boost and energy. As well it`s here to highlight people who are making their obstacles their opportunities and making a way in fashion, music and life.

Designers Closet 2010

Sorry about the late uploads.

The amazing Christine Minton(ceeminton) and Justin B. was the one in charge of the amazing event The Designers Closet. It was the first one to take place and I hope it will become an annual event that will continue to showcase the greater Toronto upcoming designers and artists. The show was exceptionally fun and entertaining. The clothes and accessories I saw at the event are definitely unique and fun pieces that I would wear. The line up of designers included milk and canvas, Beaucoup, Shona Peniston, Material World and J.Big. The performances were by Gifly Singh ,Wolf J (amazing) and JKB.

I attended the event with Sasha from Deliciouslyfat and met some amazing people and other upcoming designers who were not featured in this years event. Hope to see them next year.

Now for the good stuff, the pictures.
