I'm going to try and keep up with the blogging as I am in NYC. I am using phone photos, so please bear with me. Today I had a pretty full day attending bloggers events for Torrid, Evans/Dorothy Perkins, getting a private showing at Rachel Pally, and attending the Bloomingdale's Fashion Show. Today's dress comes from plus size designer, JIBRI. When I saw it I totally thought of the dress Julia Roberts wore as Vivian Ward in Pretty Woman. I channeled that in the styling complete with white gloves. It is utterly amazing. I blogged a while back and decided to get this to wear to FFFWeek. I can't say enough about this dress. Also, Dorothy Perkins had some really amazing pieces that l'll definitely be looking out for.
The first and only event I attended thus far that was officially apart of FFFWeek was the Bloomingdale's Fashion Show. I must say that I was a bit disappointed with it. I so looked forward to it, because Bloomingdales has such an awesome plus size section online. Unfortunately, the event started over an hour late, I was unable to find seating, standing room was overcrowded and I really could't see anything (or get any photos for that matter), and from what I saw I was underwhelmed. The limited seating I can attribute to being a complimentary event. The clothing that was shown, I thought, was not exciting and wasn't styled in appealing way to make you want to buy the product. Honestly, of all the fabulous things I have seen on their site, they picked some of the most boring pieces. It seemed so typical plus size. In my head, I thought we were pass that phase, I guess not. Tomorrow in is the indie show. I am definitely looking forward to an awesome fashion show and new designers. It was also so much fun to connect with plus size bloggers. It's always like a family reunion.
Style Note: In the photos below, I am seen with fabulous Kate Spade bags and a Ralph Lauren Jacket from Lord & Taylor. If you are in NYC, the Lord & Taylor in NYC is really nice. I often see plus size sections neglected, but not there.

Διαβάζοντας για την εμπειρία σου στο Fashion Show της Bloomingdale’s και την απογοήτευση που ένιωσες, σκέφτηκα πόσο σημαντικό είναι να βρίσκεις μικρούς τρόπους να χαλαρώνεις και να περνάς καλά. Εκείνη την περίοδο δοκίμασα το playjonny και ξεκίνησα με μερικές περιστροφές σε φρουτάκι· οι πρώτες προσπάθειες δεν πήγαν καλά, αλλά όταν τόλμησα ένα λίγο μεγαλύτερο ποντάρισμα ήρθε μια ωραία νίκη που ανέβασε τη διάθεσή μου. Αυτό μου έδειξε πόσο διασκεδαστικά και χαλαρωτικά μπορούν να είναι τα απλά παιχνίδια καζίνο, ειδικά για παίκτες στην Γεωργία που θέλουν ασφαλείς και εύκολες επιλογές.
