:::drools::: June Ambrose-style for Plus Size Fashionistas

I am sure I am not the only fashion-loving woman in the world who finds June Ambrose the bee's knees. I am always bowled over by her seemingly effortless sense of style. I've actually been stalking this look since the spring and decided to dust it off and try to recreate it for plus size fashionistas. Here's what I came up with!

Tuxedo Jacket: Oyster Satin Collar Blazer ($71.99, Dorothy Perkins)
Camisole: Reverse Satin Cami ($12.99 - $17.99, One Stop Plus)
Pants: Leatherette Trim Skinny Pants ($22.80, Forever21)
Pumps: Women's Mossimo® Paisley Platform Pumps - Cobalt Blue ($29.99, Target)
Clutch: Jessica Simpson Lafayette Clutch ($70.99, Zappos)
Sunnies: Soul Wireless 36110 Purple Fashion Vintage Square Sunglasses ($18.15, Sears)

Complete this look with a bit of M·A·C's Ruby Woo and a killer smile and you'll be good to go!!!

Music Therapy with Miss Moon

It's another Monday, and I am very excited that its the start of my birthday week. While the actual day falls on Wednesday, I plan on celebrating my 34th year of life in small ways throughout the next few days. And I start this with jamming out to a song I love that never ceases to motivate me.

So this week's song choice for Music Therapy with Miss Moon is a song that I hope will bring a ray of light (wink, wink) into the new week for all of us. I hope you all will enjoy "Ray of Light", courtesy of Madonna.



Ray of Light

Zephyr in the sky at night I wonder
Do my tears of mourning sink beneath the sun
She's got herself a universe gone quickly
For the call of thunder threatens everyone

And I feel like I just got home
And I feel
And I feel like I just got home
And I feel

Faster than the speeding light she's flying
Trying to remember where it all began
She's got herself a little piece of heaven
Waiting for the time when Earth shall be as one

And I feel like I just got home
And I feel
And I feel like I just got home
And I feel

Quicker than a ray of light
Quicker than a ray of light
Quicker than a ray of light

And I feel like I just got home
And I feel
And I feel like I just got home
And I feel

And I feel
Quicker than a ray of light
Then gone for
Someone else shall be there
Through the endless years

She's got herself a universe
She's got herself a universe
She's got herself a universe

And I feel

Quicker than a ray of light she's flying
Quicker than a ray of light I'm flying

A Little [PHYLLIS HYMAN] for a Saturday Night

It's another Saturday night, and we're still in our time machine, revisiting some awesome ass music from the 1990s. Tonight's song first dropped September of 1991, and its from someone who left us too damn soon. I hope you all will join me in remembering Phyllis Hyman, and her song, "Don't Wanna Change the World"

Let's Talk Tresses Friday: What's the BEST/WORST #naturalhair advice you ever received?

Perhaps I'm alone here, but ever since I've rocked my natural hair, I've been approached with tons of unsolicited advice about how to maintain and improve my hair. Some of it has been good, I admit it... but some of it has been SUPERBAD, like the movie! LOL

I personally have been given advice that has proven the be immensely valuable (Vatika Oil, anyone?!?!),but I've also have heard home remedies that my My Mama and her Mama have tried and discovered wasn't worth a damn.

What has been your experiences with advice about your natural hair? What have been the gems of wisdom you've received? What advice was definitely a "let's not and say we did?"?!?!
