What I Wore: “If You Should Ever Leave Me, Well Life Will Still Go On Believe Me”

May 24th, 2012 Stiletto Siren

Hey Curvy Chicks!

Ok, I will be the first to admit that today I feel like some rock n roll/RainbowBrite/teenage rebellion version of a Sister-wife LOL.  I think its the height of my pompadour and how it ended up setting itself today in a combination with the maxi dress which is a length I don’t typically venture to since I’m such a shorty. Whatever this look really is though, I am loving it and that’s what counts! Today is a pretty basic day for me, running some errands, hanging around the house working on a few things and I decided it was a perfect day to show off my new maxi dress sent to me by my lovely friends at IGIGI and embrace the style and the level of ease and comfort that comes along with it!

Spike Earrings: Fuego/Octopus Necklace: Gift From Mom/Antonia Dress In Lagoon Blue: IGIGI (Gifted)/

Bangles: Torrid/Animal Print Flats: Maurices

I have been dying to get my hands on a  designer maxi dress perfect for Summer and when I saw the Antonia Dress in Lagoon Blue on the IGIGI site I knew I had found just what I was looking for. I instantly was attracted the fact that this dress was intended to hit the woman wearing it just above the ankle which made me feel like it would actually be a great maxi length for my 5’4″ frame. I WAS RIGHT! I love being right. While this dress would be fabulous just above the ankle on a taller woman it hits right at the floor on me making it perfect to wear with flats, which I never imagined I would be able to do. The second thing that caught my eye about this dress was the beautiful color. The Lagoon Blue is so majestic, bright and summery I thought it would  be a perfect addition to my wardrobe to brighten things up with the ability to dress it up or dress it down. The quality of this dress is exactly what I have come to expect from IGIGI with high quality fabrics and special attention to detail.  It is so soft and comfortable and is also so flattering with the short sleeves, v-neck, and of course the stunning princess knot that is the perfect addition to the waistline.  Proof again that IGIGI is always bringing pieces designed with our curves in mind. I received the dress in a size 18/20 after following the size charts and it fits very true to size and honestly like a dream. I don’t think I could ask for a better dress for my shape and for the look I was after. To make the look a little bit more me I accessorized with some spike earrings, my octopus necklace, bangles and animal print peep toe flats. Such a fun look for me today thanks to IGIGI!

What are you wearing today?

What I Wore: “You Can Have Whatever You Like”

April 20th, 2012 Stiletto Siren

Hey Curvy Chicks!

One trend I have always been interested in is androgyny. I personally am a huge fan of women who can appear ambiguous in gender and pulling it off from time to time myself has always been a fashion aspiration from me. When I decided to start rocking a full on pompadour I knew this would give me even more of an opportunity to embrace the andro trend but I wanted to do it in a truly classic way and I figured what better way then with a great tuxedo jacket.  I have been looking for the perfect plus size white tuxedo jacket for what seems like months now and I was so excited when I finally found the ideal match from Bespoke  I knew I had to get my paws on it, so I was thrilled when I received this jacket in my most recent review package from my friends at SimplyBe!

Earrings: Torrid (Gifted)/Bespoke White Tuxedo Jacket: SimplyBe (Gifted)/Sequin Tank Top: SWAK Designs (Gifted)/Pleather Leggings: Torrid/Hot Pink Sole Black Pumps: Shoe Dazzle

I feel in love with this Bespoke White Tuxedo Jacket on the site, then again when I saw it on the hanger, and once again but to the extreme when I finally tried it on! I recieved it in a size 20 and found it fit perfectly true to size based on my measurements. It buttons comfortably to enhance my curves by hugging the smallest part of my waist but also looks nice left open for a more casual look. The materials are high quality just like other items I have received from the Bespoke line before and you can tell this piece was made with consideration to quality and with curves in mind. The small details from the perfect collar width to the 3 button sleeve as well as the overall style of this pieces makes this piece perfect for any curvy girls wardrobe. For this look I wanted to wear it just like I would if I was going out and hitting the town while serving some serious fierce style. I paired the white tuxedo jacket with my black sequin tank I recieved a few seasons back from Sealed With A Kiss Designs and since the tank top has some extra length in the back to cover the hiney felt I could wear it with my black pleather leggings i’ve had for it seems like years from Torrid. I finished off the look with a pair of dangly earrings and a pair of black pumps from Shoe Dazzle. I felt like the earrings and shoes added some feminine quality to this look and I absolutely love that these pumps have hot pink soles that match my hair so well!

Loving this look and feeling SASSY!

What are you wearing today? Would you rock a white tuxedo jacket or another androgynous piece?

What I Wore: “Somebody That I Used To Know”

April 18th, 2012 Stiletto Siren

Hey Curvy Chicks!

Over the last almost 3 years of blogging here at Stiletto Siren: A Life & Style Blog with Curves I have done a complete style 180 due to lifestyle changes. I have gone from donning dresses and heels on a daily basis proving that I know how to rock some work wear to now working from home and allowing my style to become more relaxed, as well as more true to my rock n roll lovin, edgy self while having no one to answer to but myself. I have really found a happy place of wearing things based on nothing more then the fact that I simply LOVE THE STYLE!  When I saw the dress from today’s look on the IGIGI site I knew that while it was a bit closer  to my conservative style of yesteryear it had some details that made me completely 100% positive that it was something that still felt like my style in the here and now and that it HAD TO BE MINE!

Armani Exchange Sunnies: Nordstrom’s Rack (Gifted)/Large Pink Stud Earrings: Lushae Jewelry (Gifted)/Sonia Dress in Merlot: IGIGI (Gifted)/Grey Dollhouse Heels with Studded Flower: Ross

I instantly fell in love with The Sonia Dress in Merlot when I came across it on the IGIGI site due to in large part the fabulous print on the sleeves. It’s a great floral when you get close but from a distance it also looks like it might be jeweled which I think makes it fantastic all the more. I also was so enamored with the color choices of the deep Merlot and the pops of fuschia, purples and greys on the sleeve and knew it would be such a fun piece to showcase with my pink locks.  When the dress was sent to me by my lovely friends at IGIGI I came across even more reasons to fall in some serious love with this piece from the wider v-neck that honesty fit “the girls” in a fierce way and the fantastic rouching on the booty that helped me showcase one of my favorite assets! I also found myself super impressed with the double layering on the flutter sleeves that was very flattering and comfortable on my arms, and the lovely length that was stylish but also made this dress something I could work if I had an important meeting and needed to be slightly conservative. This dress sent to me in a size 18/20 based on my bust size on the size charts also fit me perfectly and was extremely comfortable as well. My only qualm with this dress is honestly that it doesn’t play well with my muffin top but that’s really something that some shapewear could easily take care of.  Overall the Sonia Dress in Merlot is another slammin IGIGI piece that fits perfectly in my wardrobe and my life.

IGIGI has recently really amped up their game and is bringing some really cool new features to their site and community of loyal customers.

What I Wore: “Go Your Own Way”

April 17th, 2012 Stiletto Siren

Hey Curvy Chicks!

It is absolutely BEAUTIFUL out today and I am loving soaking up some vitamin D in the sunshine. I realized I haven’t posted an outfit in like a month and thats not cool so today even though I am certainly not the fliest version of myself I decided that I was going to capture what I am wearing while loving the weather and taking the first opportunity to go sleeveless this Spring.

Now some curvy girls and some skinny girls too hate their arms. While it may not be my favorite body part (you know I LOVE my booty) I don’t really have a problem with my thick chubby arms. I know their are some out there who think if it can swing in the wind you should cover it up but I say FUCK THAT! Pardon my French but its time to stop being polite and starting getting real (circa Real World 1992) on Stiletto Siren!

Anyhoo I wanted to rock a sleeveless dress and decided to take the opportunity to also try out the high low trend with this lovely animal print dress sent to me by my lovely friends at Simply Be! This dress is super comfortable and loose fitting but is a lovely light and airy fabric. This dress normally comes with a brown metallic belt (I have somehow misplaced mine in my mess of a closet) that is thicker then the one I chose to pair it with to cinch in the waist. I decied to just add a black skinny belt that could be for the most part hidden creating a separation between my chest and the rest of me. I felt comfortable and floaty in the best way possible and know that this is a dress I will easily be able to turn to as it heats up this summer.

Black Fedora: Rue21/ Silver Wing Earrings: Torrid/Angel Ribbons Up Down Hem Dress: SimplyBe (Gifted)/

Black Belt: Thrifted/Wedges: Torrid (Gifted)

How do you feel about showing off your arms? What did you wear today?

What I Wore:”Everybody’s Free To Feel Good” IGIGI Review & Coupon Code!

March 20th, 2012 Stiletto Siren

Hey Curvy Chicks!

Hope you are all having a fabulous day! I myself am feeling a little bit like a procrastinator but what else is new. I did however shoot a great outfit I wore over the weekend that included a lovely dress sent to my by my wonderful friends at IGIGI and I am super excited to share it with you! IGIGI may not seem like the most obvious relationship for me when it comes to my style, as IGIGI is known for making beautiful pieces with true quality for work-wear and  special occasions while I am a little bit more known for crazy looks and rocker chic styling that is anything but work appropriate. However, IGIGI brings such quality and understanding of a curvaceous woman’s body to their designs that I feel their pieces are on a special level that they really can be for any woman with any type of style and that is why I love them so very much and find so much happiness in showing how their pieces can work for a girl like me!

Octopus Necklace: Gift From Mom/Limited Edition Tatiana Dress: IGIGI (Gifted)/Raspberry Pumps: Torrid

I was instantly drawn to the Limited Edition Tatiana Dress from IGIGI the moment I saw it on their site. I am an extreme lover of animal prints of all shapes, colors and levels of attitude and this dress was bringing animal print to the table in a different way than any other pieces I have seen. I loved the use of black, blue and grey that gives the wild appeal you would expect from an animal print but does so in a truly classy way that makes this dress appropriate for many occasions and for curvy women from all walks of life. This plus size dress could be perfect for the office and for cocktails after hours, as well as for a dinner party or a night out on the town with the one you love.  Everything from the surplice bodice to the ¾ sleeves and the absolutely perfect flared skirt in an ideal length is right on the mark and showcases the quality and  understanding of a curvaceous body we have all come to expect from IGIGI. I love that IGIGI creates pieces that are for every woman whether she be all about business or for the edgy and wild girls out there like myself. This dress, as well as many of the others IGIGI offers takes a beautiful silhouette and quality fabric and creates a piece that can either be worn right off the hanger or with the option of adding the customers personal style. I received this dress in a size 20 as instructed by the size chart and ordered based on my bust size. It is so extremely comfortable and is a great fit. I loved that they included a black sash that I could choose to use or to leave off for other looks in the future. IGIGI never disappoints and has done it again with the Tatiana! Since I dyed my hair a couple weeks back I have found that accessorizing doesn’t take much anymore and with this dress I finished off the look with diamond stud earrings, one of my favorite necklaces, an octopus my Mom gave my for Christmas, and then decided to add a pop of color with my Raspberry pumps from Torrid.

What do you think of this dress and other items IGIGI carries? Do you have you eye on something special made just for your curves? Use the coupon code SPRINGISHERE at checkout for 10% Off from now until March 31st 2012 and add some IGIGI to your wardrobe!
