Unless you are blind or don’t have the internet or never leave your house or whatever you’ve probably noticed the bodysuits are cropping up EVERYWHERE. Those little snapped gussets are taking up all our clothing racks and invading our fashion lives. I have mixed feelings about body suits. Yay! No more tucking shirts in repeatedly. Boo! I can’t maneuver those snaps when drunk. Whatever you opinion, body suits are definitely trending for fall.
I like to keep my body suit purchases to body looks, that are more dimensional than a standard singlet. If i am going to have to wrestle and snap I want to do it for the sake of fashion. In my opinion, a regular tank op just isn;t worth it. That said, this green number definitely is.
Another major hot look for fall is the return of disco rocking, jive talkin’ flare jeans. I applaud their arrival with a sigh of relief- skinnies are comfortable, but flares are luxe. Look mom, I can feel the breeze on my calves. However be careful about length; dragging, city dirt encrusted flares are not a good look.

One of the most unusually pervasive trends this fall season was the pairing of mustard yellow hues with soft delicate rose quartz touches. While the color combination seems nothing short of an odd couple, getting the right balance can make a look really stand out.
So how do you make it work? Keep it simple. Choose one hue to rock the stage and the other to play a supporting role. For example, in this look I only added a light nod of pale pink as a sleeve under a deliciously golden dress.
Highlighting another popular Fall 2016 trend – statement wrap chokers, Ive pair this look with rope belt wrapped twice around my neck and tied as a necklace. The red adds a pop of color and adds dimension to the look .
The result is a look that has a vintage feel, with a modern color palate. So many trends this season bring in the old while providing something new. I really enjoy the yellow pink pairing because it feels fresh and young, but at the same time makes me want to go to a disco.

For the next 5 days, I am going to be showing off my favorite fall trends, made for plus size bodies. To kick things off I’m showcasing one of my favorite trends- modern bohemian. This trend takes hippy vibes and mixes them with decidedly urban elements to create a new style aesthetic that is both nostalgic and modern. 
You can spot this trend cropping up everywhere if you look for the signs. First and foremost- deconstructed denim. Jeans this season provide a variety of washes all with a truly lived in feeling. Expect everything from hole filled denims, to completely reconstructed denims- like this pair from Lovesick.
Second there’s a return of bohemian inspired elements, on refreshing forms. Expect to see unexpected embroidery, folk style prints, and sheer prairie cuts ( like this dress from Eloquii). This shirt is a perfect example- its a refreshed take on a sheer over shirt with a Scandinavian inspired embroidery. The result is a cool way to pop some color, while still rocking an of the time silhouette.
Another unusually pairing is the resurgence of velvet on fashion forward and bold accessories. I am digging velvet chokers- because of my unhealthy love of all things 90s – like this one from alapopjewelery on Etsy. The key is a one per outfit rule, so I added a nod to this other fall fashion trend by adding a little funky chunky crushed velvet to my step.

I have been noticing that these seasons plus size swimsuits have a sneaky streak of Gothic wonder in them. Gothic style is known for being dark, mysterious, and vintage inspired. Gothic fashion draws inspiration from Victorian arts and in some case punk subcultures. This season I’ve enjoyed seeing exciting uses of lace, hardware, and bondage elements in water ready garments.
As a girl who used to rock a faux hawk and loves a bit of magic, I am digging the romantic bewitching under tones of this cruise seasons beach wear. Here’s some swim looks that are sure to cast a spell on you, and that spell is lightening your wallet and officially putting you on beach sass patrol.
Forever 21: Mesh Panel Swimsuit
I love the bondage feel of this suit and it reminds be of the complicated lines of traditional Gothic architecture. If harness straps don’t make you feel like a sex goddess, I am not sure what will. I can imagine pairing this with a velvet choker and a don’t give a funk attitude. This one piece is oooozing with confidence.
Bonsoir Bella: Lightening Suit
This retro styles bikini in funky holographic lightening print is electric. Plus, it’s also versatile. I can imagine the top doubling as the perfect partner in crime with a black pencil skirt on a rocking night out. I am a sucker for sparkle, and this suit meets all my needs: Versatility, uniqueness, and cut designed to flatter and lady’s curves.
Le Noir Luxe: Vicieux Latex One-Piece Swimsuit
This suit is a winner for so many reasons first the latex look screams “I’m feeling that 50 shades of gray vibe” while the full coverage still provides support and coverage for those of us who feel more comfortable in a full piece suit. The deep plunge accentuates and highlights the girls, while still lifting and supporting them with sassy bondage inspired straps.
Rue 107: Arianna Black Lace Bikini
Get lacy and a little racy with this romantic black lace bikini from Rue 107. The fabric pulls vintage feelings while the cut is undeniably modern. This suit evokes a dark Victorian romance with a hint of mystery. It’s like you’ve got a secret and that secret is that you are sultry vixen oozing with confidence and a touch of girly flair.
Lane Bryant: Strappy bandeau bikini with hardware
This hardware bedazzled suit is ready for some, well, hard wear. This sporty take on the gothic trend, is a more accessible interpretation for the everyday girl. The metal accents are fun and flirty, and the playful take on the harnessing, makes this suit an easy way for any girl to throw an appreciative nod to the dark side.
