Sip, Shop, Meet, & Greet @ Twelve24 Boutique

   Thursday night I had the PLEASURE of meeting some FABULOUS VIXENS at a Sip-N-Shop event held at this TWISTACIOUS plus-size boutique in the heart of Decatur, Twelve24 Boutique. This is NOT your average plus-size boutique! The pieces they carry are PERFECT! Not too trendy, but just enough. Super classy, but modern. I nearly hyperventilated when this pair of tan and black palazzo pants began calling my name. I was so enamored with them that I totally forgot to snap a pic (slaps wrist...BAD VIXEN!). Everyone looked fashionably gorgeous and each and every piece was TO DIE FOR!
   The event was hosted by one of my FAAAAAAAAAAAVORITE BLOGGERS, Chastity Garner-Valentine. She wore a gorgeous red, polka dot, peplum dress that oooozed glamour, casual, and retro all at the same time. It's pretty hard for ANYTHING to not look super on her. For those who may have been hiding underneath a rock, Chastity is also the author of "The Curvy Girl's Guide To Style". A perfect self-help manual, a la "styling for dummies". If you're a curvy girl and don't already own it...you MUST pick it up!
    I also had the privilege of viewing jewellry pieces by the beautiful and TALENTED, Porchia Coleman of  Divinité Jewellry. She delivers QUALITY pieces at inexpensive prices. As soon as I got home her Etsy shop, HERE ,was the FIRST site I visited! I have my eye on a few pieces that I WILL BE OWNING! All of her pieces are handmade, especially by Porchia! It's AMAZING how creative one mine can be. You'll DEFINITELY make a statement with ANY piece in her collection. Go ahead and stop by her shop and pick up a few keepsakes.
    Lastly, I met designer, La Krisha Baker, of, Lavenders Jungle. Dope name, right?? She exhibited a STUNNING gown that I fell in LUST with! I've never seen a gown so classy, yet SUPER SEXY. I'm kinda bummed because I have a pretty cheesy camera *adds new camera to X-mas list* and my photos are practically an INSULT to her craft. I swear I stood by that gown for nearly an hour! lol This line is definitely HOT, STEAMY, FLIRTY, and TIMELESS! Go over to her site to drool after these scrumptious garments.

MY CRIMSON CRUSH!

Red gown with lace bodice by Lavenders Jungle

This gown is OUT OF THIS UNIVERSE! I almost didn't add it because it looks 100000% better in person. This photo does NOT do it ANY justice, whatsoever! I have absolutely NO PLACE to wear this gown to, but I WANT IT! No! I NEED IT!

Vintage Dress from "Everybody's Buying Vintage"

 

EBV is a funky store I found on Facebook a while back. I've been a member of this company's fan page for a while now.  But as we ALL know, vintage in plus size is pretty hard to come by. So, when I saw this beauty...I POUNCED on it! EBV has their listings "auction-style" and as "Buy-It-Now". This dress was listed for $48 as "Buy-It-Now"...and only 19.99 if you chose the auction. You already know which one I chose. Luckily, I'm the only one who bid...and WON. The dress was delivered yesterday and I paid for it on Friday. So, it took only 2 days to reach me..(which is AMAZING). It came shipped in PERFECT packaging and a sweet handwritten letter (I think that was a nice, personal touch). Check out other vintage-unique finds on their Facebook fan page "Everybody's Buying Vintage"...and their website www.shopebv.com. I can surely see myself as a regular shopper at this store.
