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

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…

BRB...TWIRLING

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. Now, I have contradicted that statement here and there and I have made some exceptions, but rarely ever do those exceptions make me chang…
