Temps are way too high and mentally I'm already into autumn and trying to dress myself as such. Unfortunately, my body is still in summer so to marry the two, my love of
Gabi... lawd this woman, she is just EVERYTHING. I have followed her throughout the years, when she first started blogging at Black, Fat & Fabulousness renamed to the now Gabifresh. Her style is undeniable and she, without a doubt, is literally one of the icon plus-size fashion bloggers. Most recently she has launched a 2nd collection of BEAGORGEOUS bathing suits with a no hold barred approach. Below are my favorite looks for the collection. Visit her site to get more deets on the pieces or head over to the swimsuitsfoall to shop.

"Rock forever21 but just turned 30" Touche Kanye. Touche. However, I'm sure that this new forever21 artist series would get the approval of any high brow style connoisseur. And let me pause for a second just to swoon over this year's collaborations; Alexander Wang x HM scheduled to launch in November, and yesterday's Altuzarra x Target announcement!!! 2014 is shaping up rather nicely and I am all here for it.
Not just 1 capsule collection but 2 are being offered from the folks at forever21. Pieces are perfect for the approaching warmer days where copious amounts of beach laying, music fest going, park frolicking, and patio sitting will occur. I am head over heels for the bandeau from the Keith Haring collection and the trapeze tank with Basquiat's iconic symbol.


Head over to forever21 to see the complete offerings from both colections.

Anna Dello Russo, style icon and editor-at-large of Vogue Japan, sent the internet in a frenzy yesterday with the announcement of her collaboration with H&M. She is designing a fabulous accessories collection with the retailer set to launch October 4th. Her collection will include jewelry, sunglasses, bags and shoes. It is even reported that there will be a trolley designed by her for the launch. Since H&M has yet to launch their US online store (though its reported to be this fall), hopefully you live in an area where they have stores. For those like myself, a road trip just might have to happen come October (well they did tweet me about the online launch, but I'm still keeping my fingers crossed).
