What's in my bag: January 2015

I've been in love with my new purse lately, 

so I figured I'd show you a little 

sneak peak as to what I typically carry in this beautiful bad boy.

First off, this is my new baby...

It's the Merona Satchel in green with a cross body strap 

and tortoise & gold hardware.

Love. Love. Love freaking love.

This color has been discontinued,

 but Target now offers it in a ton of colors.

I'm tempted to buy the hot pink mini version.

Without further blabbing..

Keys with a ridiculous amount of keychains 

& vineyard vines lanyard

Phone charger

Kate Spade Agenda, monogrammed of course

"Sorry I'm Not Sorry" ID holder

Kate Spade card holder 

Fake RayBans from Cotton on

Halloween hand sanitizer from B&BW

Fake Rayban flashbans from Burlington

Simply Southern mason jar coozie

Kate Spade Patent Leather wallet

No7 mineral setting spray

Grossly old Victoria's secret lipgloss

Mad about you body spray from B&BW

Scrunchies & a claw clip

EOS lipbalm stick

NYX HD concealer

Pacifica Tuscan Blood Orange lotion

and towards the bottom of my bag

 is normally an obscene amount

 of pens I've stolen after I close my tab, 

mechanical pencils,

spare change, 

and receipts from things I shouldn't have spent money on.

What's in your junk holder?

Plus Size Fashion Dupe: Plus Size Pixie?

                                      Plus Size Fashion Dupe #1
I always hear about how amazing the JCrew Pixie pants are online. From vloggers to bloggers and everyone in between, I constantly see these plain black skinny pants everywhere! They seem to fit everyone perfectly. They kind of remind me of the jeans from "the sisterhood of the traveling pants." The thing is JCrew's pants only go up to a size 12. 

This world is full of beautiful, full figured women who would ROCK pixie pants if they came in ACTUAL plus sizes. I found something for us, plus sized girls, that are basically a dupe for the Pixie pant.

They are rightfully called the " Little Black Skinny Pant", and are for sale at Torrid for around $45. I know, for pants, that may seem like a lot of money. From a fashion point of view, I believe every woman should have a staple little black dress, neutral blazer, and a perfectly fitting pair of black pants. They are SO versatile. Now, from my point of view, I spend that on 2 pairs of leggings that rip in the thighs after 5 or 6 wears. Why not invest in a quality item that will last, and never go out of style?

Just so you all know, I'm about 5'6-5'7, and they hit me right at the ankle. I like that style of pants, because they're a bit cropped and won't get ruined by touching the ground. I think they tend to make my legs look a bit longer too, (since I was blessed with the tree stump legs from my Italian roots). Grazie.

Here's the link for the pants if you want to check them out.

**Also, if you're not a curvy girl, the pixie pants are an awesome addition to any wardrobe. I wasn't trying to diss the pants at all, but offer an option from my point of view!

I hope everyone's having a beautiful summer break.
Talk to you all soon!
Until then,
