A Queen's Fashion, Style & Curves

Ever buy the most beautiful necklace, bracelet, ring or pair of earrings at Forever21 , Charming Charles , Aldo  or any little shop at the mall? I know I do all the time and especially this past weekend with all the great Black Friday sales! It becomes your favorite piece of jewelry and you seem to wear with every outfit. After the fourth or fifth time its dull, a little dark and some times a completely different color.  I use to get so upset, but for som e time now I've been using the  L' Protect Liquid   from  Charming Charles ! It prote cts it all! Its like a clear nail polish and I LOVE it! Now I don't wear anything until I get it a good coat on it.  Its even great if you have sensitive skin as there is not do direct contact to the metal.  I usually try to do it as soon as I get home so I don't forget.

 I've never been too much of the floral or print type of gal. The more I've learned to love my body the more appreciation I've grown to have.

Hello Queens!!! I've added a "Retail Therapy" tab! Whether you are in need of a quick session or need to address a serious issue like what to wear for the weekend lol, I hope this tab helps! 

Dear Lane Bryant, I feel we have an amazing relationship. You are always there for me when I need you. Whether I need a new pair of jeans, jacket for work or a little retail therapy, you are there giving me all I need.  You shower me with lovely gifts, $25 off of $75, $50 off of $125, “Real Women Dollars” and my absolute favorite 50% off clearance! You’re the best! So you can imagine how excited I was when I heard that you were opening a Cacique Lifestyle store at the Newport Centre Mall in Jersey City (NJ). I mean I don’t even own a bra that isn't Cacique. I love that you have it all; lace, boy shorts, thongs, strips, pock dots and all sorts of bold colors and prints. So you must understand my absolute disappointment when I walked into Cacique Lifestyle at the Newport Centre Mall. What happened?!? Don't get me wrong, I love the Sophie Theallet collection and everything at the store, especially the layout, but it was boring!  I feel you have come such a long way an
