eloquii Provides Fashion Forward Plus-Size Clothing by The Limited

[Gabi looking fabulous in eloquii]

The Limited celebrated its first full figure clothing line, eloquii, this past week at the Cooper Street Hotel. FashionPulseDaily was lucky to partake in the official launch party celebrating a love of both fashion and curves.

Brand ambassador Gabi Fresh (check out her fantastic blog!) looked radiant in a golden dress from eloquii, proving the clothing was designed for, and inspired by real full-figured women, unwilling to sacrifice their love of fashion. I listened while Gabi explained how necessary quality and fit were to the production. She fills the void for the generation of curvy women, women beyond a size 16.

With everything from leather bombers to skinny jeans to sheath dresses and capes, no trend has been left out. The creamy tuxedo jacket with black lapels is ideal to polish off any look.

The collection of 22 styles, ranging from size 14 to 24, will be available online only beginning today, Tues. November 1st. The site even offers the “Shape My Style” feature, a personal shopper of sorts, to help those who struggle with finding the right silhouette and fit – a plus, indeed (pun intended!)

Forever 21 Pick of the Day: Tatum Skinny Jeans, $14.50

by fashionpulse

When Kate Moss began sporting her famous skinny jeans years ago, they shook up fashion and had millions of fashion followers flock to the sleek skinny look. Fast-forward to the next decade — they are still ubiquitous – not necessarily the ‘It’ item they once were, but now, they have become staples in every girl’s wardrobe. Pair them with a baggy T-shirt for contrast or a similarly fitting top for a long, slim look. This magical item not only adds a foot to your legs, skinny jeans are also quite versatile . With lightly frayed markings and perma-crease accents, this affordable pair of Tatum Skinny Jeans, $14.50 from Forever 21, also has a slightly worn look made for the streets and when the cold weather hits, tucked into your boots!

Budget Stylista: Glitz and Glammer on NYE

by fashionpulse

Via our friends at CollegeCandy.com:

So maybe I’m a little late in the game, but 2010 is, like, soon. It feels like only yesterday that I was sitting on my daybed thinking, “this is the last time we can sing ‘Tonight We’re Gonna Party Like it’s 1999′” as I placed 5 too many butterfly clips into my hair and rocked out in my platform gym shoes.

God I feel old.

But I digress. New Year’s Eve is hands down the best excuse to dress up. But that doesn’t mean you gotta splurge on some hot frock that will look great in pictures, but not so great sitting in the back of your closet for the next 2 years because you have nowhere to wear it again. There are plenty of ways to spice up your look for the big night by adding some fun pieces to the stuff you already own. Here are just a few not-a-dress options to ring in the big 20-10.

Skirt:
You gotta rock something shiny on NYE, and this skirt is just perfect. I love red and gold together, which is why I paired this shimmery skirt with a basic red tank. But if red is only your color when your monthly friend comes to visit, throw on a basic black scoop tank or tee, black tights and pumps and this look is good to go.

Romper
There’s something about a romper that just screams, “I’m totally chic.” And this one has just the right amount of sparkle for the special night. You canpair with tights if you’re not in Miami…and shave your legs if you are. Feel free to play with textures, like sequined shoes, chunky tights and a bold cuff. Or keep it simple and throw on a colored bag or bangle for a pop.

Leggings
You already own some leggings, obviously, so dress them up with a bold (and long!) sequin top. You’ll dazzle into the new year and be super comfortable to boot. Just make sure to keep everything else pretty neutral so you don’t look like you just fell out of a Prince music video.

Jeans
I love, love, love this body suit. Yes, it’s a body suit. Yes, body suits remind me of jazzercise videos from the 90s. But tucked into jeans (or a skirt) it’s fashion genius: it’s sexy, fitted, and you don’t have to worry about it bunching. And can we talk about how hot the back is?

OK, so it may be a problem when your New Year’s Kiss wants to get busy…or when you drink too much champagne and have to go to the bathroom every 3 minutes, but it’s probably the most versatile piece you could pick up for the big night. Just think of all the other places you could work this thing. And, really, you can sparkle it up as much or as little as you want. Add a big, bold necklace. Throw on some bangles. Slip into a bright colored shoe. And roll into the new year without looking like you tried too hard.
