A few weeks ago, I walked into my local Nordstrom and was shocked to discover a new plus size line that was edgy, reasonably-priced and fabulous...it was Love & Legend by Addition Elle! You will know Addition Elle from their super sexy lingerie collaborations with Ashley Graham and their blogger capsule collections - which recently included Nicolette Mason and Nadia Aboulhosn. This brand is killin' it, y'all! Case in point: this adorable Love & Legend Sweater Dress with Cowl Neck and Shoulder Cut Outs. I'm obsessed!

I will choose a dress over jeans any day! There is just no beating the comfort and the easy, effortless style of a dress, and I absolutely love that Maggy London has such a fantastic selection of plus size dresses perfect for fall and the holiday season! I'm so happy to collaborate with Maggy London to show you 3 fabulous fall plus size London Times Curve dresses! For my first look, I chose this absolutely classic London Times Curve Ophelia shift dress.

You can't go wrong with a classic shift dress, especially when it comes in this scroll crest black and tan pattern. When I wore it to the office, my coworker said I looked "regal." I laughed and said thank you, but the pattern does look a little regal! I wore some black quilted riding boots and went for a bare leg...but this dress can easily be dressed up with some tight over-the-knee boots, or dressed for the office with a nice pump. When the weather changes, you can add some fleece-lined leggings to add warmth and trade your fancy boots for some winter snow boots.

• Quilted Suede Riding Boots via Lane Bryant

Here's a close up of this great pattern!

I love a good print -- especially one that so perfectly captures the mood of the fall season. This is the second part of my 3 part series featuring fabulous fall dresses from Maggy London's plus size line, London Times Curve. This London Times Curve Harper Fit and Flare Dress has a dark romanticism that almost has me thinking of Little House on the Prairie in the best -- chicest way possible!

I mean, this Harper Dress has such an amazing graphic print -- so many colors in a digital floral print playing across a black background (I'm loving the pops of yellow and red!). It's a fit-and-flare silhouette, so it looks great on pear shapes and apples like me! And can we talk about the black lace insets on the shoulder? That--along with the longer sleeves--add that dark romantic sensibility that's all the rage this season. There is also some magic in the seaming in this dress, since it nips in perfectly under the bust, creating a great curve right where it should be!

I really wanted to play up the western-cool factor on this dress, so I added a long choker necklace with tassels and paired it with some black tights and some over-the-knee boots.

 Totally feelin' myself in this dress!

Since today is Election Day...and also unofficially #pantsuit day, I wanted to share one of my favorite pant suits...and YES, it is POLKA DOTTED!

When you want to get a job done, put on a pantsuit! This polka dotted one is from Lane Bryant from earlier this fall. I think it's all but sold out, unfortunately. But I love how unique it is...I mean, who would have thought to put polka dots on a tweed pattern? lol. A slim ankle length trouser with a cuffed hem, paired with a two button blazer with a sleek Mandarin collar.

Maggy London is totally knocking their London Times Curve collection out of the park this season! This is my third post in my Fall Plus Size Fashion series featuring plus size dresses from Maggy London's London Times Curve line. Each dress I try on, I fall more in love with the brand. Today, I'm featuring the Fay Dress, and it's making all of my LBD, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Jackie O and Madmen dreams come true!

London Times Curve Fay Dress c/o Maggy London

This dress can totally become your go-to party dress this season. The sleeveless fit-and-flare silhouette is super versatile and roomy -- so that you can overindulge on holiday sweets without fear of busting a zipper. The embellished neckline is so fancy (and eliminates the need for a necklace!)...and the shimmery fabric makes this a great party frock. The high neckline and somewhat conservative lines are perfect for an office holiday party and any number of other events.

This is one of the easiest, most versatile dresses in my closet! It's absolutely going to be a wardrobe MVP this season.

Finally, finally! After so many designer collections that left plus size Target consumers out in the cold, the latest collaboration -- at last! -- included plus size items. The Target Who What Wear collection has some super cute plus size pieces, and I'm thrilled to share a few of them with you! Here's the first one...featuring this fab wine-colored sweater and faux leather skirt*.

 Outfit details:

• Who What Wear Plus Size Faux Leather Birdcage Skirt*
• Who What Wear Plus Size Rib Elbow Sleeve Crew Sweater*

To tell the truth, I did not think that I would love these pieces as much as I do! I bought the sweater in a 2x and the skirt in a size 20. I love how the crew neck sweater has ribbing that helps it hug your curves perfectly. And I like the longer elbow sleeve length -- not to mention the rich color, which Who What Wear is calling "Pomegranate Mystery!" The only concern with the top is that it's a little sheer, but not revealing enough to make people talk. ;) The faux leather skirt fits like a dream, with big boxed pleats which give the skirt a nice full shape. Have you checked out their collection and tried anything out? What are your favorites?

I don't know how I missed the news, but the Lane Bryant x Glamour collection debuted last month, and it was such a surprise to me! I didn't even hear about it until I saw it in my local Lane Bryant store, and I had to seriously stop myself from buying every single piece on the rack! I had to settle on just one piece, and I wasn't the only one who had to have it...since it looks like it's already sold out! Just look at this adorable red and black striped dress!

Outfit details:

• Lane Bryant x Glamour Magazine Collection Red and Black Striped Dress (see the collection here)
• Bow Accessory via Nordstrom
• Lane Bryant Wedge Ankle Boot with Metal Toe

I love the thin black pinstripes against this cheery red! I felt that the button collar neckline was just screaming for a black bow accessory...and it just so happens that I found this cute one at Nordstrom. Add black tights and some ankle booties, and you've got a strong statement outfit! The gathered elastic waistband helps add some shape to the dress, and it would look great with black belt!

In my second look featuring plus size items from the Target Who What Wear Collection, I am featuring this Suede Sleeveless Trench Vest in Olive with a high-neck black and white striped tank dress.

This olive + stripes combo has been popping up everywhere this season, and I love it! Mostly, I've seen fabulous ladies wear a striped tee with a military-flavored olive green jacket or topper. When I saw this gorgeous olive green Plus Size Sleeveless Suede Trench Vest, I fell in love. The material is thick and weighty -- it's faux suede, but it feels luxe! It was perfect to throw over this black and white striped tank dress (also from the Who What Wear Collection for Target, but already sold out!). This vest is so versatile and will pair well with a long sleeve top and some skinny jeans or with a chunky sweater when the weather really turns for the winter.

What really stood out to me about this trench vest and the other pieces from the Who What Wear collection is their quality. This felt like an investment piece, but had an unbeatable price point. Everything I tried on was true-to-size and fit perfectly. There's a new round of items in this collection that recently came out, and I'm definitely going to give them a try!

YESSS. I need MORE cat sweaters! I am absolutely incapable of saying no to a cat sweater -- especially when they are as cute as this one from Torrid! Today is the first in a 3-part series of fabulous plus size holiday looks from Torrid. And I decided to start with a casual look -- because...well, cat sweater!

Outfit details: Cat Face Sweater via Torrid; Black and Red Plaid Shirt via Torrid (last year); Rachel Roy Sweater Knit Skirt via Macy's; Suede Over the Knee Boots via Lane Bryant

So cute! And since plaid is my favorite color this season, I threw this red and black plaid button down shirt on under this sweater and wore it with a Rachel Roy sweater knit skirt from Macy's. My favorite Lane Bryant over-the-knee boots finished off the look!

I wore this adorbs outfit to brunch with my girlfriends and then went and holiday errands -- and everywhere I went, people swooned over this sweater. :)

Be sure to check back tomorrow for my next Holiday Look from Torrid!

If you're looking to mix up your plus size holiday look this season, try this graphic tee + blazer + shorts + tights combo and see what happens! For my second plus size holiday look featuring outfits from Torrid, I went for more of a rock n roll vibe...and this Tshirt totally spoke to me!

 Outfit details: Rock n Roll Forever Tshirt, White Blazer with Faux Leather Trim, and Scalloped Lace Shorts all from Torrid 

I feel totally badass and glam in this outfit -- this Torrid White Blazer with Faux Leather trim is rocker chic when paired with these black lace shorts. I could have even opted for a darker weight pair of tights for a more streamlined look, but these lighter black tights work too. If you're jonesing for something other than a dress this holiday season, I think this pairing could be your answer. 

Tomorrow, I'll be sharing another great holiday look from Torrid, so stay tuned!

And it comes in a divine, deep black velvet!

 And I completely fell in love with this amazing beaded capelet as well...I mean, it's DIVINE!

I've been completely obsessed with plaid and am wearing it everywhere this season -- even to fancy parties! There is something so cheerful and bold and comforting about plaid. I usually pair my plaid tops with jeans or pop them under a sweater, but I feel like this plaid deserved a night out. So, I paired this red and black plaid top (from Torrid last year) with this fab sparkly Eliza J Textured Full Skirt that I found at Nordstrom*. Add some sequin booties and some statement jewelry, and this plaid is ready to party!

Outfit details: Red and Black Plaid Shirt via Torrid (similar below); Sequin Booties (old);
Eliza J Textured Full Skirt via Nordstrom*

Here are Four Plus Size Plaid Shirts that are also ready to party!

1. City Chic Plaid Boyfriend Shirt

2. Lucky Brand Back Overlay Plaid Shirt

3. Caslon Long Sleeve Plaid Shirt

4. Foxcroft Buffalo Plaid Pintuck Pleat Blouse

Absolutely in love with this Plus Size Sweater with the cutest Scottie Dog Print! It's Charter Club from Macy's and it comes in both petite sizes and plus sizes! It's oh-so-cozy and because it's tunic length, it hits at about mid-thigh and works perfectly over leggings. I've been trying to up my lounge wear game lately, and this Charter Club Plus Size Scottie Dog Sweater from Macy's is perfect for those days when you're relaxing at home -- or blogging from bed!

Faux Fur jackets are seriously everywhere this season. And not just the old-school sleek furs, but totally outrageous faux fur jackets with exaggerated shaggy shapes and cool colors. I was lucky enough to grab this crazy fun faux fur jacket from Lane Bryant earlier this year and it's my new favorite accessory!

Outfit details: Shaggy Faux Fur Jacket via Lane Bryant, Black Pants via Torrid, Velvet Crossover Heels via Simply Be; Houndstooth Clutch via Lillstreet

This shaggy jacket goes perfectly with jeans for a more casual/cool look, and when paired with black damask slim pants and velvet heels, you get a more refined uptown look. What do you think?

I'm so thankful to Sarah Tesfai for taking these pictures! You can check out her portfolio here: www.sarahjtesfai.com. It was a gloomy, overcast afternoon and I love how moody these photos turned out!

So obsessed with these velvet pumps! I've been wearing them everywhere!
