So yeah, I know... I haven't done a Plus Size Fashionistas post in a while. The truth is, I haven't been all that inspired by celebrity fashion as of late. But I assure you all, that the moment I see something that knocks my socks off, I will be sure to attempt to recreate the look for a post. Which leads me to...
How cute and simple is this outfit.. I love the different colors, the bag and the sunnies. I decided to revamp this look a bit to make it more weather-friendly. Here's what I've come up with:
Sweater: Striped Boucle Sweater ($22.80, Forever 21) Jeans: Lola Slim Leg Jeans ($65.00, Simply Be) Boots: Annie Tall Boots in Cognac ($59.99, One Stop Plus) Bag: Cute Snakeskin Clutch ($35.00, Lulu's) Sunglasses: Ricky Business Sunglasses ($12.00, Urban Outfitter)
I think this outfit is a great burst of color for the winter. Where would you rock this look?

What is it about birthdays that makes one suddenly introspective? I guess it's because we're entering a new phase in our lives with each birthday, and it's only natural to reflect on where you've gone just as much as where you're going.
Such is the case with me this past weekend. I spent a lot of time thinking about my past and about the pivotal moments that have shaped me.. for the good and bad. I thought a lot about the mistakes I've made, and what's astonishing to me is that for most of them choices I've made... I'd make them again. There are a few exceptions to that, but for the most part... Yeah, I'd take the same steps. Why? Because they've made me who I am... and I happen to think I'm pretty damn alright.
When thinking about writing about this for Music Therapy with Miss Moon, Corinne Bailey Rae was the first person I thought of. So here's "I'd Do It All Again".
Ooh, you’re searching for something I know,
won’t make you happy
Ooh, you’re thirsting for something I know,
won’t make you happy
Ooh, you did it all again, you broke another skein
It’s hard to believe this time, hard to believe
That my heart, my heart’s an open door
You got all you came for, baby
So weary, someone to love is bigger than your pride’s worth
Is bigger than the pain you got for it hurts
And out runs all of the sadness
It’s terrifying, life, through the darkness
And I’d do it all again, I’d do it all again
I’d do it all again, I’d do it all again
You try sometimes but it won’t stop
You got my heart and my head’s lost, ooh yeah
I’ve been burning down these candles for love, for love
So weary, someone to love is bigger than your pride
Ooh, someone to love, mm, someone to love
Someone to love
Ooh, you’re searching for something I know,
won’t make you happy
Ooh

Dhak Dhak Karne Laga, Ho Mora Jiyara Darne Laga
My heart started beating, and started getting scared
Dhak Dhak Karne Laga, Ho Mora Jiyara Darne Laga
My heart started beating, and started getting scared
Saiya Baiya Chhodna, Kachchi Kaliya Tod Na
Beloved, please leave my hands
Saiya Baiya Chhodna, Kachchi Kaliya Tod Na
Beloved, please leave my hands
Dil Se Dil Mil Gaya, Mujhase Kaisi Ye Haya
Our hearts have met, then why are you still shy?
Dil Se Dil Mil Gaya, Mujhase Kaisi Ye Haya
Our hearts have met, then why are you still shy?
Tu Hai Meri Dilaruba, Kya Lagti Hai, Va Re Va
You are my lover, how beautiful you look
Tu Hai Meri Dilaruba, Kya Lagti Hai, Va Re Va
You are my lover, how beautiful you look
Dhak Dhak Karne Laga, Ho Mora Jiyara Darne Laga
My heart started beating, and started getting scared
Apana Kaha Jab Piya Tune Mujhe, Main Meethe Meethe Sapane Sajane Lagi
When you called me mine, I started having sweet dreams
Dekha Meri Raani Jab Maine Tujhe, Meri Soi Soi Dhadkan Gaane Lagi
From the time I saw you, my mind is awakened, my queen
Jaadu Tera Chhane Laga, Meri Nas Nas Mein Samaane Laga
Your magic has spread into my whole body
Kkud Ko Main Bhulane Laga, Tujhe Saanson Mein Basane Laga
I started forgetting myself, and hold you in my breath now
Rishta, Ab Ye Rishta, Saathi Tutega Na Tode Kabhi
What is this relation which has maddened both of us?
Dil Se Dil Mil Gaya Mujhase Kaisi Ye Haya
Our hearts have met, then why are you still shy?
Dhak Dhak Karne Laga, Ho Mora Jiyara Darne Laga
My heart started beating, and started getting scared
Uljhi Hai Kali Kali Lat Teri, Zara In Zulfon Ko Suljhane To De
Your black hair is entangled, allow me to set it right
Itani Bhi Kya Hai Jaladi Tujhe, Ghadi Apane Milan Ki Tu Ane To De
What is your union, let the time for our union come
Aise Naa Bahane Bana, Meri Rani, Ab To Bahon Mein Aa
Don't make reasons and come into my arms my queen
Aise Naa Nigahen Mila, Koi Dekhega To Sochega Kya
Don't meet my eyes like that, what will the others think?
Masti Chhai Hai Masti, Ake Lag Jaa Gale Se Abhi
There is happiness all around, come and hug me.
Dhak Dhak Karne Laga, Ho Mora Jiyara Darne Laga
My heart started beating, and started getting scared
Dhak Dhak Karne Laga, Ho Mora Jiyara Darne Laga
My heart started beating, and started getting scared
Saiya Baiya Chhodna, Kachchi Kaliya Tod Na
Beloved, please leave my hands
Saiya Baiya Chhodna, Kachchi Kaliya Tod Na
Beloved, please leave my hands
Dil Se Dil Mil Gaya, Mujhase Kaisi Ye Haya
Our hearts have met, then why are you still shy?
Dil Se Dil Mil Gaya, Mujhase Kaisi Ye Haya
Our hearts have met, then why are you still shy?
Tu Hai Meri Dilaruba, Kya Lagti Hai, Va Re Va
You are my lover, how beautiful you look
Tu Hai Meri Dilaruba, Kya Lagti Hai, Va Re Va
You are my lover, how beautiful you look
Dhak Dhak Karne Laga, Ho Mora Jiyara Darne Laga
My heart started beating, and started getting scared
My name is Audrey. I have been called many, many things. My Pirate Sistahs dubbed me Pirate Yemaya Chalice Moon, Mother of the Secret Realm (or Yemmy for short), which I remixed P-Diddy style into Miss Moon the Brooklyn Geechee. This blog is basically all about me and my life. I call it the rantings, ramblings and revelations of your average Brooklyn Geechee.
I have a lot of interests, and I admittedly get a bit dorky about them. So this blog will be about music, movies, politics, tv, getting healthy, and as Lisa Jones dubbed her book Bulletproof Diva (a must read!)... tales of race, sex, and hair.
I hope you like it. And if not, I welcome constructive criticism.
My only rule is be nice or leave.
