I had the pleasure of attending the official party for People Style Watch x Charming Charlie accessory collection. For those that do not know about Charming Charlie, it is an accessories and clothing company with an affordable price point. I know about the company because in any of my fashion magazines, there is always a great piece from one of their collections. People Style Watch teamed up with them to create a curated collection of pieces in red, gold, and black. The event was held in their Midtown location in NYC. This was my first time in the store (because I'm such a online shopper these days), and I must say that the store is gorgeous.

There is definitely something for everyone in this collection. The wallet's come with a chain so that you can wear it as a crossbody. The enameled bangles look more expensive than their $10 price tag suggests. In addition to the jewelry and handbags, there were suede wedges, which are a great addition to anyone's Fall wardrobe, and the easiest way to spice up an outfit, an amazing printed scarf. My favorite piece is the handbag in red, black, and leopard (which of course I bought). For the plaid addicts, there are reusable coffee cups, and for the dog lover, there's frenchie bulldog accessories (Frenchie was on notecards, a passport holder, luggage tags, cases, mugs and so much more). There were so many great pieces, it's definitely worth checking them out. With prices starting at $6, and nothing higher than $39, you will definitely have a good deal of items in your cart. The collection is out now, so get shopping lovers.

I was invited this weekend to go on a shopping excursion with People Style Watch and Tanger Outlets. My blogger boo Grown and Curvy Woman came with me and we were up to the challenge. We were given $250 to shop at the outlets and then get styled by People Style Watch. The best IG post for this challenge would receive $5000 shopping spree. We visited the Tanger Outlet in Deer Park, LI. The outlet has some goodies to shop. When it comes to shopping at outlets a lot of times it's hard to find items in my size, but I will say when out in Deer Park, I was able to find a lot of goodies that did come in size (there were several things I wanted, but they were sold out...sad face). I found a super cute bomber jacket at the Gap Outlet, a long lace maxi dress from Torrid, and a nice crossbody from Kate Spade. Even though a lot of the stores such as Gap, Banana Republic, Ann Taylor Loft do not carry XXL or a 18-20 in stores, but in the outlets they do, so there is more of a chance of you finding something that you love out there. I went to the Social Style Shop to get some advice on how to style my goodies, and some Spring fashion inspiration especially in the accessory department.

The outlet had many places to eat, and a movie theater, so you could make a day of it. I will definitely try to head out there again because there were a lot more stores I would have loved to shop in. Since it was such a beautiful day, I wanted to of course be comfortable, but wear items I can easily change out of. I'm not a big fitting room person, but if I'm at an outlet I am more inclined to try an item on before buying since who knows when I will be back.

I wore my favorite pink moto from Mynt 1792, this is an oldie but goodie, but Torrid has one currently on sale. I wore my favorite crop top from Simply Be and these adorable crop pants from Eloquii. Since Spring is upon us, I had to get a fresh pair of white Nike's. After attending the Air Max Con a couple of week's back I felt all nostalgic and got the Air Max 1 in all white. After shopping we went to this rooftop bar called Mr Purple. The food- banging. Drinks-banging. The view- banging. If you get a chance to go, definitely give the proscuitto pizza and the rooftop lemonade a try. I enjoyed myself, and I want to thank my blogger boo for coming with me, and to People StyleWatch for the invite.
