Who is Christian Siriano

Today, while checking my google alert, I noticed a name repeatedly popping up. This lead me to ask myself, "Who is Christiano Siriano?".  So I started my search. This lead me on a glamours star studded trail of gowns and pose. 

I started with this first article that popped up on my google alerts. The headline read...

" Cardi B, Whoopi Goldberg, And Laverne Cox Sit Front Row At Christian Siriano NYFW Show "

I was intrigued interested in this designer. Something else, other than this name started to stand out. I noticed the diversity in this designers work. For women of all ages colors and sizes. Every single one looking amazingly glamorous. 

From names like Angela Bassett, Emily Blunt, Jennifer Lopez, Solange, Elle King and Whoopi Goldberg; this list goes on and on.

After a little more research on his website I found that Christian Siriano is the youngest person to ever appear on the Crain's “40 Under 40” list, and was a member of Forbes' "30 Under 30" in 2015. He was named “Designer of the Year” at the 2016 AAFA American Image Awards and won the Couture For A Cause “Designer of the Decade” award that same year. He co-founded accessories e-commerce retailer “Send the Trend” and served as Chief Curator until its acquisition by QVC.


The designer has an eye for every skin tone and shape. He knows how to make you glamours but also comfortable. This is obvious on every woman's face that I have seen dawning one of his fierced designs. He isn't afraid to use bold and striking colors. So many of his designs demand attention. You can deny the detail and thought that was put into his work. The consideration for the person who has the honor of wearing one of his pieces is very clear. For some pieces you can also tell who it is for without seeing the person wearing it.

Tailored pants suits, big skirts, to african inspired prints I can not wait to see what he will share next.

It's been a few years since I posted on this blog but I never once forgotten about this space. I know a lot of you have been vocal on where I've been. 

Just know that i'm back and better then ever. I have so much planned for this space. Form vlogs to lingerie reviews to behind the scene footage from my future photoshoots. I look forward to pumping out quality content for all of you.

So i think I'm developing a slight obsession with thigh highs ... 

I recent purchased my first pair from torrid. They were on sell for 15.00 and fit perfect.

Well if you want a nice pair of thigh huggers torrid has a sell currently going on in store and online. simply go to Torrid. com and enter code WILD1 and instantly get 30% off. i bought mine in store but the selection was nearly empty, so i suggest ordering yours online and take advantage of the online code . 

Thigh Highs can go with nearly any outfit and kick it up a notch. You can go from simple to sexy in no time with these babies. i felt like a true vixen walking around with my sheer maxi skirt  and white crop top from forever 21. 

 

Currently all thigh highs are 15.00 bucks online on torrid.  

The selection at torrid online and in store  isn't very large so ill let you guys know when i find some other chic thigh high suppliers. 

P.S. 

I also purchased a new pair of spanx and they are awesome too. 

I don't know about you gals but i tend to wear shape wear under a lot of my clothing for a smoother silhouette, which mean i used to have discomfort with seams and cuts of whatever I wore. I even gave up on spanx or even any other control top. 

Little did i know Spanx had a surprise for me. Right next to thigh highs were these Black Higher Power Briefs. I literally have no complaints about these, Ultimate comfort and control..

Are You Wearing The Right Bra?

Did you know that by simply buying the right bra  in the right size you can appear to drop a full dress size. You would be surprised how many woman go years wearing the wrong bra size. Between weight gain/loss, children, and changes in your frame over time, your boobs change. I would advise that you get measured ever year just to keep up with any changes in your bust. 

Now how do you know if your bra is not the right size? Here are some telltale signs:

The back band rides up

Your boobs jiggle when walking, going down stairs, standing... 

your straps leave red whelps and/or makings on your shoulders

Side boob (need i say more)

Back Pain

Tension in the neck and shoulders

spillage or squished boobs
If your bras gives your any of these issues then you might want to go get measured and invest in a few new bras.
