Cocktails with Claire Atlanta is a few weeks away!
I hope Bombshell NikkiFree from the A will be in attendance:

She says, “I am NikkiFree, a 40+ plus size blogger who lives in Atlanta and loves having fun fashionably!”

” As I said in a September 2015 issue of Redbook Magazine, “When I walk into room, I want people to think ‘She’s fun, she’s approachable, she loves life.’ That’s how I love to dress.” “


“I would describe my style as Classic But Trendy.”


” I love clean lines and classic shapes but with a bit of a twist … bold colors statement pieces: a funky shoe, an oversized clutch, big bold jewelry.”

” I enjoy mixing high-end, luxury pieces and affordable clothing together to create a great look. So I don’t really have a signature style. I just like what I like. However, I do like to be different and a bit unpredictable.”


“I love bright colors and mixing patterns. Nothing is more exciting to me than to find a plus outfit that’s full of color. I definitely take body type into account. I’m curvy, so for me, I like clothes that compliment and accentuate my curves.”


“My blog, NikkiFreeStyle.blogspot.com, is just my way to memorialize my looks, encourage others (most especially women who are in our 40s and curvy/plus size women) by sharing styling tips and places shop. There are some treasures out there online for mature, professional curvy women to find fun and non-frumpy clothing. “

Remaining as as a mainstay on the celebrity style circuit, Moschino made an appearance out and about in New York tonight.  For the latest Scream Queens screening at the Crosby Hotel, actress and singer Keke Palmer wore a patchwork jacket and skirt set from the Italian brand’s Resort 2016 collection.

The design itself was a bit of a fun, kitchy take on the Chanel classic tweed suit and was shown in the lookbook paired with a tweed bikini top and quilted backpack. While that was nice and all, Palmer had other plans.

For her go, Keke went a bit more chic and subdued with an on trend black turtleneck. A simple pair of earrings and ring and we’re in business.

What do you think? Did Keke Palmer rock the look?

Who Wore It Better? Kat Graham vs. Rita Ora in Balmain x H&M’s Pearl Embellished Blazer

Kat Graham took to the VH1 You Oughta Know Concert in the same Balmain x H&M Pearl Embellished Blazer Rita Ora originally sported just last month:

Kat paired the piece with black tights and patent booties, while Rita chose black suede thigh-high boots and fishnets.

Though it doesn’t seem so, the blazer is a lower-priced version of the iconic French fashion house’s signature pearl blazer.
