MY REVIEW OF SAVAGE X FENTY

Rihanna is an icon. Okay...my post is over. That's all that needs to be said, right?

Since plus size lingerie brand Savage x Fenty made its debut, I have wanted to try out the brand. You all know that I am no stranger to wearing lingerie around my apartment for a little confidence boost. So why…

FAUX LEATHER MIDI DRESS

I am not sure what it is about faux leather, but I love this material so much. I have faux leather pants, skirts, dresses, and more. The way the material clings to my curves and highlights my figure is something that no other material can do. I think I just answered my own question. LOL

I CAN'T WAIT TO WEAR THIS

In Illinois, we are starting to move to phase 3, which means some ways of life will go back to normal while we still exercise caution and practice social distancing.

ARE WE STILL WEARING JEANS?

Not only did I wonder if my favorite jeans would still fit, but I also wondered if I would ever be able to go back to wearing jeans. However, since I have made the pledge to dress up and do my m…

MODCLOTH PLUS SIZE DRESSES

Now this is a floral print I can get with. If you frequently scroll through the pages of Natalie in the City, you will know that I am not a fan of floral print.
