Boom! Pow! Wow!

The Details
Here!

Hey pretties,
Almost the weekend, you know I had to tell ya’! I just love this trend. It is so fun and quirky! It’s based on campy television shows like the old Batman and Robin series where POW or BOOM popped up on the screen in those ridiculously scripted fight scenes. Yeah I know, some of you are too young to remember…LOL! I would definitely wear this trend with of course my favorite, boyfriend jeans and maybe add a biker jacket to make it more edgy. And remember you can always dip your toe in a new trend by wearing just hints of it, such as the ring or the socks.

Remember I told y’all about the wildly popular and successful 3.1 Phillip Lim Collection at Target. The boom sweatshirt was one of the most popular items, guess what…wait for it… it’s $20.98, Boom! It’s totally OK to have something unexpected in your wardrobe.

Do you have something fun in your closet?

Enter the Holiday Giveaway and getcha some POW or BOOM or hey both. Enter with the Rafflecopter!

Shopping Fun? Yes And No!

September 16, 2013 by robincharmagne 4 Comments

Hello pretties,
Another lovely weekend! A little nip in the air, bring on that fabulous Fall weather! Today I’m posting about my hobby – shopping, yes it’s a hobby. Last week, I had a blast at Girl’s Night Out at Lenox Square Mall and Phipps Plaza, two premium shopping venues here in the A. The event was hosted by beautiful blogger Oh! Nikka. Shoppers were treated to an evening of pampering, fall fashion previews, beauty demos, tasty treats, giveaways-one lucky shopper won a $500 shopping spree, and of course awesome shopping discounts with retailers throughout the mall.

Girl’s Night Out-Shopping FunTarget and 3.1 Phillip Lim collabo on Friday. It wasn’t so much fun. Now don’t get me wrong pretties, I still love Target and Phillip Lim, but I was disappointed in the collection. No Plus sizes. I don’t get why a designer collabos with a mass market retailer like Target but then doesn’t offer sizes beyond XL. Many designers have plus size lines, Michael Kors, Ralph Lauren, Eileen Fisher, Vince Camuto, Calvin Klein, Anne Klein, Donna Karan, I could go on. And mind you these are big, well-known brands. As a fashion consumer, I want to buy more than accessories. Yeah the handbags were cute, but so were the dresses, tops, sweaters, pants, and jackets. I wanted to snag some of that too. Not everybody is a size 6, true, or size 20 for that matter. But some folks are a size 18 on the way to a size 6 and we would like to look cute doing it! Needless to say my shopping cart was empty!

Have a Marvelous Monday lovelies!

Friday Faves – 22 – 3.1 Phillip Lim/Target Edition

September 13, 2013 by robincharmagne 12 Comments

Hello Pretty Ones,

Source: Lucky Magazine Instagram

It’s been a challenging week lovelies and I am ready for a weekend of a little bit of this and a little bit of that. What are you doing? One thing I’ll definitely be all over is the 3.1 Phillip Lim and Target collabo, today’s Friday Faves, which debuts on Sunday! Target loves partnering with designers to bring us high-end fashion and accessories at reasonable prices. My favorites in this collection are the handbags, in on trend shapes and colors. My advice is to to be early Saturday night, checkout the Lookbook at Target.com and have in mind what pieces you’d like to snag then head straight to the web. During the last collabo, the pieces didn’t load on the site until like 3am so be patient. Buy what you like online then also head to the store to shop for any piece that may sell out in your color or style of choice. Most important have fun!

And guess what? Next week is the blog anniversary of robincharmagne and I have some surprises just for YOU.

Have a beautiful weekend pretties!

My Skinny Self – vol. 2

January 18, 2013 by robincharmagne Leave a Comment

Hello Pretties!

It’s a 3-day weekend baby. Last Friday I told y’all I am pursuing a healthier Me and dang it if I didn’t gain a couple lbs this week. But I gotta keep moving forward. Today’s post is volume 2 of the My Skinny Self series where I feature what I would wear if I was My Skinny Self. Check out volume 1 featuring 3.1 Phillip Lim.

Diane von Furstenberg is in the spotlight today. She is an iconic American designer who turned the fashion world on its ear with one garment, The Wrap Dress. I love the Wrap Dress because it flatters every figure and can come in a variety of fabrics, from cotton to cashmere, leather to silk!

What I would wear if I were My Skinny Self

Iconic wrap dress

Black and white graphic print

Color block and polka dots

Cute solo or with a legging

Top with a biker jacket

Blouson in a bright graphic

Stripes done right

Ready for an evening out

The Wrap Dress is a great transition piece as I “downsize”. A fav wrap dress from my closet:

If you are working towards a healthier You, what transitional garment are you wearing?

Hello Pretties!
I enjoy blogging and bringing you tidbits on the fashion and home decor worlds. For 2013, one of my goals is to incorporate more feature posts.

Like many of You, I am pursuing a healthier lifestyle for a more improved Me. Sooo each Friday, since that’s a fun first day of the weekend, I’m starting a regular feature called “My Skinny Self“. These posts will be a photo collage of what I would wear if I were”My Skinny Self” from a favorite designer.

First up, 3.1 Phillip Lim. Here we go!

What I would wear if I were My Skinny Self

Pop of color

Contrast of textures

Hot pink – Yessss

Black and white always works

Soft with the florals, edgy with the black

I like this line because the designs are uncomplicated and wearable. I love how he transforms overalls into a chic garment in leather or suede and in great colors like pink and green.

Be sure to check out next Friday’s designer, and tell me what is your dream outfit for your healthier or skinnier self?

Keep it Pretty,
