Your girl turned 32 today. I am not as hype as I used to be on my birthdays since I entered my 30s. Maybe because I am really scared of getting old. I am thankful to be alive & healthy, and hope to celebrate many more years.

Right before I started writing this post, I saw a very interesting post on my instagram feed here. The post was about fact that many of us let ourselves be fooled because we have a certain number of followers on social media. After I re-posted the post on my feed, I asked my followers the following question:
” After you turn off your facebook, instagram, twitter, blog, are you still happy with your life and the things you’ve accomplished ? “
I had a long conversation with a blogger friend of mine just a couple of weeks ago. I expressed to her how sometimes, I really wanted blogging to go back to what it was before.Remember, when people just blogged for the love of it? Remember when you did not have to advertise on social media ? Don’t get me wrong social media is a beautiful thing, however you have to remember that they can be shut down in a minute. The things you do when you are not online are really the moments that matter.
When you pick up your kids from school, when you cook your family’s favorite meals, when you take care of your husband/wife/partner, when you assist your friends in time of need, when you donate that blood at the hospital, how you treat people to name a few. So let me ask you again, when you turn off your computer are you happy with your yourself , and your life?

Clearly I have a thing for anything off the shoulder these days. I know I’ve fooled quite a few people on instagram last week when I wore this off the shoulder dress with ruffles as a top. There won’t be any fooling today, because I am actually wearing an off shoulder black top. This top goes with every single midi skirts, jeans, in my closet. I got it a few months ago from Asos. They are now sold out, but you can find plenty of options HERE and below. Read More »
It’s time for another French Curves challenge. For those of you who are new here, French Curves is a monthly outfit challenge for curvy French speaking bloggers.This month’s challenge is to embody and or recreate a look from a celebrity ( singer, actress, …..) or a movie character. I have decided to recreate this look from the beautiful Miroslava Duma former editor of Harper’s Bazaar Russia. I have been looking for a blue pantsuit for while with no luck. I’ve had this blazer for while, so when I found these pants from a sale rack at penningtons, I had to grab it. The colors don’t match, but I thought they were close enough to recreate this look. Colored suits are not easy to find, so you better off buying the pieces separate.
This closet remix post is late, I know, I know…….You can blame it on #ontheruntour. I went to see Beyonce and Jayz on wednesday night and the show was absolutely amazing. I screamed, and danced the whole entire time. Well, that’s the reason you getting this lovely post later than usual. Read More »

I am a firm believer that when you do something or practice something for a while you get better at it. That’s how I feel about my thrifting skills these days. I swear when I walk in a thrift shop, I can spot an interesting item from miles away.
Happy Thursday! I finally got my act together to bring you another closet remix post. This time I opting for the 10 pieces 20 different ways challenge. Right after fashion week, I’ve made the decision to get rid of half of my closet. Yes, half of my closet. I know someone asked me over on Instagram if I wanted to sell my clothes. I wanted to, but then again at this point I just do not have the time nor the energy to do a sale. Half of the clothes already went to the Salvation Army, and the other half is sitting in a suitcase waiting for my sister to pick up (lucky girl !).
I have a lot, I mean a lot of clothes. Lately, I have been overwhelmed with my dressing room. There were clothes too small, out of date, or simply sitting there with tags.I realized that I am actually more in love with the idea of a full closet than what is actually there. I want to start fresh. Letting go was not easy, but I had to. My style has changed within the last few years and some of these items no longer fit my personal style. Now, I can almost see everything I own.
Finding the perfect plus size tulle skirt is no easy job. I’ve been looking for one for a while with no luck , so I decided to make my own. It took me a while to figure it out, but I took my time and voila !!!!. In case you want to make your own, you can follow the instructions here. I found a few options HERE and HERE. Read More »
