Have you been on the hunt for jeans that give you the right curves? I have! When Royalty for Me contacted me and asked me try out their “Wanna Betta Butt” line of denim, I was thrilled! These jeans help give you curves in the right places. Love!

I am always on the hunt for comfortable jeans that fit well. The fabric on these Royalty for Me jeans is soft and comfortable. They fit really well too. That’s always a plus! They also happen to be available in regular, petite, and plus sizes! Love that!

Royalty for Me “Wanna Betta Butt” skinny jeans in dark blue

These skinny jeans are really comfortable; and they can be rolled up, tucked into boots, or worn straight. I normally wear a size 8 or 10 (28-31) in jeans. These are a size 10 and they feel like the right size. If you are between sizes, definitely order the larger size to be safe. You can find the dark wash skinny jeans online here.

This is a great pair of classic black, skinny jeans. They can be paired with high heels at night, or with boots during the day. I know I will get a lot of wear out of them! These run a little bigger than the dark wash. Although I am wearing a 10, I feel like an 8 would have fit better. They are on the loose side in a size 10. If you order black, and are between sizes, order a size down.

Royalty for Me “Wanna Betta Butt” bootcut jeans

This is my favorite pair of the three; the bootcut Royalty for Me “Wanna Betta Butt” jeans! I love a 1970s vibe, and the fabric is really soft! The bootcut jeans run true to size. I am wearing a 10, which I feel like fits really well. If you are between sizes, order the larger size.

All three of these jeans are really comfortable. The fabric is soft, and the fit is great! Royalty for Me has “Wanna Betta Butt” jeans in regular sizes, petite sizes, and plus sizes! This means there is a size for everyone! Love!

The era of real fur in fashion has come to an end

how to wear a teddy coat

pictured: wearing my favorite faux fur coat, you can find it online here.

Once upon a time, people hunted for food. When they hunted for food, they used their target for everything they needed to live. This included food, tools, and skin or fur for clothing and shelter. The human race has come a long way since the cave days, or days of living off the land. We use wood to build our home, electricity to heat our homes, and we have a wide variety of fabrics to use for warm clothing. The fact of the matter is, we don’t need to use real fur to stay warm and cozy anymore; those days are long gone.

The anti-fur movement has been happening for decades. When I was in high school, I pledged to never wear real fur; and to also advocate against wearing real fur. I don’t see any point in killing animals solely for their fur. The fur industry can be cruel, and the animals are raised and killed for fashion rather than food. There has been an uproar about the use of real fur in fashion since the mid 1900’s; and now, in 2018, the fashion industry is finally getting it!

In September, several global fashion designers pledged to no longer use real fur in their designs. While a few designers had already been fur free for many seasons, new designers joined the ranks of the fur free crowd. Some of these designers included Michael Kors, Donatella Versace, Gucci, DKNY, Furla, Tom Ford, and Burberry. In fact, London Fashion Week claimed to be fur free in September! Love that!

Designers are not the only ones shunning real fur in their collections. San Francisco recently banned the sale of real fur within the city, and this could start a national, or world-wide trend towards more real fur bans.

Let’s face it, it’s 2018. We have the technology, and the design know-how, to re-create the look of real fur. In fact, faux fur can look and feel almost exactly like real fur; and for a fraction of the price! Plus, faux fur is easy to keep clean and does not need to be in a special storage unit over the warm summer months. Faux fur is just better on all fronts! It’s cruelty-free, it’s more affordable, and it’s easy to clean! Love!

I am a huge fan of faux fur. I love the soft and cozy feel of it. I also love that it is synthetic and no animals were hurt to keep me warm and cozy.

When shopping for a handbag this holiday gift giving season, be sure to write down a few things about the person you are shopping for. First, what is your handbag budget? Second, is she understated, or does she love flashing the hottest IT bag in town? What is her lifestyle? Does she need a roomy bag for the office, or for carrying a lot of her kids things? Maybe she is young and needs a fun going-out-at-night bag! Once you have answered these questions, then you can focus on what to get her!
