Too young for the Nu Nu reference? Peep the link below. So lots of new things on the blog. All of the new "stuff" can be found right side of the page. Scroll down, look around, check it out, click things...get excited! (haha)

First, I've added YouTube videos from Mercedes-Benz Fall 2011 Fashion Week. I love this feature because you can scroll through and check out all of the top shows. I'm OBESSESED with Alexander Wang, Betsey Johnson and Charlotte Ronson. In brief: Alexander Wang is inspiring...period. Though his clothes don't come in plus sizes you can certainly recreate the vibe. Additionally his accessories are SICK *dead*. Betsey Johnson's show moved me for the first time in a very long time. It was rock and roll, chic, grown up, sexy all in one. She also has recently launched a less expensive line which is for "every woman" which is why she used her staff and sales force to model it rather than traditional "models". Lastly Charlotte Ronson *swoon* really fantastic and she has a doper than dope less expensive line at JCPenney, most of which is cut pretty generously. I have a few pieces from that collection and always get great feedback.

Second, I've added a "Shop" section where I'll sell new and gently used items I've acquired. The first thing up for grabs is an incredibly cool NOOKA watch. I got it in a fabulous over the top gift bag and never wore it. I have 2 and wear the camel colored one on rare occasions but the fuchsia not so much.

Next, there's a new "Beauty Buzz" section where I'll do short to the point reviews on new or new to me products that are worth mentioning.

And lastly, also new is the following OOTD. I've had these shorts for a few weeks and was looking forward to a respectably mild day to don them. These are from Torrid and I instantly fell in love with the bold floral print and sassy cut. I wore this on an afternoon mini date followed by dinner with another friend. I kind of loved day to night versatility.
