Target Corporation recently announced the second edition of The Fall Designer Collection, featuring three limited-time-only design partners: Kika Vargas, La Ligne and Sergio Hudson. The collection, which features more than 100 apparel and accessories items, reflects each designer's bold creative vision and arrives just in time for the fall fashion season.

Fall fashion trends are the ones that true lovers of fashion really get excited about, and can anyone blame us? With a definite back-to-school/work feel, this time of year gives us all a chance for a fresh fashion start. We've spent so much time inside the last few years, those boots that were made for walking, have very little mileage up to this point.

We have all fell in love with the ELOQUII brand because over the years they have seen and heard us. And now we have yet another reason to love them. It’s no wonder why they have been selected to receive the 2022 Retail Brand of the Year award from The Full Figured Industry Awards. Introducing Bridal by ELOQUII

When we heard that the Bridal by ELOQUII launch was coming, we had to reach out to Yesenia Torres, Creative Director at ELOQUII for the tea.

It's that time of year where we say "so long" to summer and what the heck do I wear now? but of course that doesn't mean we have to immediately get rid of all of our summer fashion. It's sometimes tricky to automatically know how to transition your summer clothes into fall, so getting ideas of how to use old pieces to create something new is key. You don’t want to pack away all your cute sundresses and shorts just yet?

“Shopping for shoes during the back-to-school season can be an exciting time for families,” says Otto. “With the range of options of brands, prints, and platforms, it’s easy for parents to select footwear to complement any school outfit, while helping children express their individual personalities.”

It's time for the last summer hooray. We've wrapped up our last vacations and it's time to get back at it! Graduates are getting settled into their dorms, and school and work shopping has officially taken over our leisure trips to the mall. Since the temp outside is never on the same page this time of year, what is some style inspiration we can pull from to make us "first day" ready??!!

After the last couple of summers, we are all still in need of a good change of scenery. With the cost of everything continuously rising for everyone, dropping dollars to travel may not be at the top of the list right now. Our current reality doesn't have to mean that we can't enjoy or Summer!!! Whether you stay in town for a staycation, or have the luxury of getting away, beach and resort wear is still necessary this year.

June has definitely nurtured a bright summer in the fashion realm, as the month's main theme of inclusivity beams through to an exciting July. We can surely say that great strides are being made when it comes to the idea that "fashion should be for every-body", we see how, when we shine our summer light on these latest brand collaborations.

It’s no secret that our Lizzo is an absolute star, but she really has everyone moving in her new collaboration with Fabletics, Yitty!!!

You know the phrase, "Don’t forget to check on your strong friends"? Well, that phrase is something we definitely should not forget within the fashion industry. Images and social media will have you thinking industry professionals have it all together all the time, when nothing could be far from the truth, in most cases.

Who doesn’t appreciate a good show? More importantly, who doesn’t appreciate a good show with a cause? On April 9, 2022 the Not My Eyes Showcase gave us exactly what we came for and more. It was Elegant, Entertaining and Educational all at the same time. As a plus size fashion magazine, we have attended many fashion showcases, and this one was no different.

Another sold out event! Brooklyn native Bobby Stone (@bobbystonemusic) of The New Old School brand (@thenewoldschoolbrand) did it again with the production of it’s annual Earth Day Fashion Show (@tnosfashionshow) in honor of Mother Earth. The Invisible Bully in Brooklyn was filled with people who came out in support of the brand.

As a black woman and former soccer player with thick thighs Tiffany loved working out but hated having to constantly pull down and unroll her shorts mid-workout. That's what spurred the idea for a new type of short: one that was made to stay put and had pockets.

The classic bikini silhouette is stripped down to the basics in stretch lace with an elastic waistband that honors your ever-changing shape, making for the perfect everyday underwear! Fabric is a combination of nylon and spandex, and the panties are midrise with moderate backside coverage.

Every February for 71 years, all eyes have been on the NBA All-Star Games but they haven’t come to Cleveland since 1997. To celebrate, Diane Linston, a fashion veteran of more than 20 years, size inclusive fashion designer of N.G.U. ("Never Give Up") Designs, owner of Styles of Imagination Boutiques, and the only woman manufacturer in Cleveland, joined forces with more than 15 other designers to turn those eyes to the Fashion All-Star Weekend Edition!

This time of year is the best time to focus on our love for fashion. The major holidays have passed, so now there is almost nothing to steal the shine from one of our greatest loves. The world is gearing up for Winter Fashion Weeks, and we are always excited to see the trends that will set the tone for the remainder of the year.
