Super speedy post today! Things have been hectic around here lately (the couple weeks around Lunar New Year always are!), so comfort has been key to survival. Dug up these ankle zip jeans from Lane Bryant (circa 2010) that suddenly feel relevant again, and paired them with an insanely soft sweater perfect for getting things done in. Added snakeskin accents, my go-to, hold-everything bag, and just a couple bracelets for good measure.

Until next time! Thanks for reading! xx

last minute shopping: Curvy Couture

With Valentine's Day coming up this week (eek!), I thought I'd share one more plus size lingerie line that caught my eye. Curvy Couture is a plus size line from Dora Lau, a seasoned lingerie designer who has been creating beautiful pieces for over 20 years. She draws inspiration from Old Hollywood glamour and silver screen stars like Ava Gardner and Marlene Dietrich to create timeless, beautiful pieces.

I was lucky enough to try the Cabaret Lace Plunge and I have to say, it. is. impeccable. It is easily one of the most glamourous pieces I own.

The color is rich, the detailing ornate without being excessive, and it absolutely looks and feels more expensive than it is. I can't emphasize enough how beautiful it is in person! I found the fit true to size, and surprisingly comfortable. I'm not particularly chesty so I appreciated the extra "push," but the padding is removable in case you don't want it.

I'm very much a believer in spoiling yourself (at least a little!), so even if you don't have romantic plans with someone this Valentine's Day, it never hurts to indulge in something as beautiful as this lingerie.

In case you needed another reason to pick up a new gorgeous set, the Curvy Couture team was kind enough to offer readers a 20% discount on almost everything using code SPC20, valid until March 15, 2013. Happy Shopping! ♥
