A Queen's Fashion, Style & Curves

Tonight I found myself seating and reflecting on 2014.... with a glass of wine of course. It has been a year of many challenges, life lessons and great new beginnings.  In the rush of our day to day we forget to stop and reflect on how far we have come and what changes we must make in order to reach our new goals. As I prepare to work on my vision board for 2015 and set new goals, I am amazed on how 2014 has shaped a different me. I am in a no way, shape or form the same woman that began this year. I’ve learned so much about myself and know I have so much more growing to do. This year more then ever I've learned that it’s a journey and that’s what it’s about...the journey.  If I had to narrow down my lessons or go back in time I would definitely tell myself this.    Never   Put Your Happiness In Someone Else’s Hands.    No matter how much someone loves and cares for you, only you know what  truly  makes you happy. Follow your heart.   Never Settle, Not Even One B

May this holiday season sparkle and shine. May all your wishes and dreams come true and may you feel this happiness all year round. XoXo Paulaska

As many of you know I'm obsessed with costume jewelry especially rings. For years I've had a great love affair with   nOir Jewelry . I attend one of their sample sales this past week and wanted to share the amazing goodies I bought for only $87!! If you love costume jewelry as much as I do, you should definitely check them out! (Not on nOir website, I paid $5!)

Hello Queens!! How many times have you walked around a store and seen an amazing dress or top and said to yourself, "I need it". I know I do all the time. You go through the rack and just as you expected no plus size! Again, I know I'm not the only one who gets upset and frustrated at the fact that they did not think of us. Well, Sarah also known as Curvily  is the creator of #PlusSizePlease, encouraging all to use this new hashtag to show stores and designers that there is a demand for plus size fashion!
