Have you shopped at QVC? Over the last year, I have been drawn to the surprising finds over there, especially when I catch wind of certain fashionistas and stylists with their own collections that I have to take a peek at!

For example? Luxe Rachel Zoe! With her fashion pieces going up to a 3x, I am constantly checking her out! But when I got wind of her jewels (I am big on rings right now), I had to delve into the jewelry finds throughout the site! And I found a few! And then I started looking and getting a bit lost throughout the site!

From rings, earrings (I love the flair of the drama!), and necklaces, I thought I would share with you a few of my faves that caught my eye!

Last fall, I shared with you and offered a lucky reader a piece from fun, edgy, funky, and fresh jewelry collection, Pirate Romance. This time around, I wanted to share with you the latest collection from Joi French and her jewelry line!

For spring, Joi French draws from her childhood inspiration (and one of my favorites: JEM!) the the use of neon, fringe, hand-dyed turquoise, and metals laced with leather. Through JEM, Joi took the ideal of transformation and translated them into the jewelry.

“I wanted every woman to have the feeling of when she put on a piece or pieces of the jewelry that she somehow transformed; she became brighter, sparklier, flirtier!”Joi French

Take a peek at the latest Spring 2012 Pirate Romance Collection:

Pirate Romance has become a favorite of fashion forward celebrities such as Estelle, LaLa, Shaunie O’Neal and have been featured on television programs including X-Factor and Black Girls Rock!. In addition, Pirate Romance pieces have also graced the pages of Faint, Kontrol, and Icon magazines as well as over 50 other digital media outlets including Refinery29 and FashionIndie.com!

You can learn more about Pirate Romance by visiting the site, following @inPirateWeTrust, and liking In Pirate We Trust on Facebook!

Q. Do You Have a Favorite Look? DO YOU Remember JEM??

I love when new sites pop up and offer you a fabulous way to Shop and Save! Especially when it adds or offers a new twist! I was invited to test out the newly launched Little Black Bag, a site that is nothing BUT accessories!

You hear me?

Accessories!

And what is even better is that you have the option to either subscribe to the membership OR make a single purchase (for only $10 more!). Choose one item and you are surprised with two other items in your bag! Get something you do not like? No worries, you get to trade with your homies! Cool right?

Based on the Lucky Bag site from Japan, this is how it works:

For starters, you create a style profile that the team at Little Black Bag fashions with the best fashion and beauty products to place in your bag. Based on your profile, you’ll be offered a personalized Little Black Bag, filled with items that you can view online. Once you get your items, you get the chance to make a purchase that includes two additional items! You purchase a bag full of designer products (at up to 70% off!) and trade the items you do not want among friends!

Top brands like R&eM by Rebecca Minkoff, BCBGeneration and Kenneth J. Lane are already available, with new labels being added regularly!

My first purchase was this Revel NY Bowery Clutch! It’s regular Price was $98! I bought my bag outright for 59.95 and got these other two items:

Kenneth Jay Lane Square Drop Earrings (I love these!)

Present Time Terrier Dog Salt & Pepper Set (This I am going to trade with someone for!)

Kind of cool huh? If you do not want to trade, you can have your items shipped straight away!

Because accessories are like the icing to your cake, I had to share this with you and to get you started, here is my invite link for you! You have to move fast cause items are extremely limited and time is of the essence!

What is in your Little Black Bag!?!

Keep it Curvy.Confident.Chic.

In my quest to rock more heels AS well AS play in the Cali “Winter” in my boots, it is not cool enough for tights and thick socks, yet I need something to keep my feetsies comfy! Today, for example, its 80 degrees as a high and 40 as a low… bananas right? SO dressing strategically is a must.

One of the things that I have found was something sent to me. Kushy Foot. I happen to see these at Duane Reade in New York! So, as an option to wearing the thick socks or daring NOT to go barefoot, I slid on these Kushy Foot “Foot Covers” that “massages your feet with every step!”

Interestingly enough, these bad boys were quite comfortable! I do have only one concern though… for my size 10 feet, depending on the fabric choice, it is almost too small. In the lace ones they kept falling off my heels L, but the regular solid ones were quite the comfy delight!

HOWEVER, I realized that I had on the wrong size! In plus, they have the fun low cut, lace front, and regular Kushy Foot Socks in sizes 9-12, and these are the ones I need to get my feet in!

And at no more than $20.00 (for the ones I mentioned in plus!), you cannot go wrong! I suggest you also check out their full range of products: from Toe Covers, Trousers and Knee Socks, and Flats to go!
