    What I’m Loving: Kiyonna’s Newest Arrivals

    Kiyonna is one of my very favorite places to shop – you can read why in my review of their famous Boudoir Lace Dress – and every week they add new items to their collection, which means I’m almost always adding new Kiyonna items to my wishlist! Their newest arrivals, part of their Fall collection, are absolutely stunning… so I wanted to share with you today what I’m truly loving from Kiyonna right now…

    Olivia Work to Cocktail Sheath Dress, Olive (Womens Plus Size)
    Olivia Work to Cocktail Sheath Dress
    As the name implies, this dress is totally versatile, and that’s one of the reasons why I love it. The dress features slimming vertical seams meant to flatter any body shape, and the slim sleeves are perfect for layering with a sweater or jacket. The ruching at the bodice provides both a comfort and coverage as well as a pretty and feminine detail. This dress is available in olive (pictured), hazelnut and black. Totally love!

    Color Blocking – Hot Fall Trend

    If you’ve been shopping around among the latest Fall collections in the past weeks, you’ve probably noticed that color blocking trend is back, and it’s going to be one of the hottest trends for the Fall and Winter. This trend came back into style a few seasons back, and I absolutely loved some of the style designers like IGIGI came up with – this trend is very retro, yet still versatile – so I am happy to see it back this season as one of the hottest trends.

    Yours Clothing have come up with a number of fun color block tunics and tops, and as usual the price points are super. Check them out…

    Black & Red Colour Block Top - 30-32
