Get To The Point

Hello my pretties:) How is everyone doing today? Keep it fabulous at all times.

Now that we have checked our fab meter, let's turn it up even higher with some hot pointed booties.

Ooo wee. I dare you to put a pair of these on and not werk. Not only are they the it shoe for fall and winter, pointed toe shoes in general have a timelessness about them that will keep them fresh for many seasons to come.

These are 10 styles that I am coveting in sizes up to 15. Yes mama. I said 15. Explore. Be dazzled. Strut like no other.

Side note: every time I typed pointed bootie, I looked back at my actual booty to see if it was pointed. I am happy to report that it is not.

Now, please return to your regular boot shop programming. TallSWAG it all day!

When I saw the 99 problems tee from Height Goddess I said out loud, Yes hunni! I know that's right!

Yes. I talk out loud often. I like to think of it as conversations with myself and they are some of the best conversations ever but let's get back to the task at hand...

This shirt is the absolute truth! Being tall is not a problem, it's a privilege and I am so happy that Height Goddess made a shirt to tell the world. HG also made some other amazing shirts including; Life is short but I'm not, love tall, nope just wearing flats and Height Goddesses motto, tall never looked so good. The shirts themselves are super soft and cut in the perfect tall-short manner. 

Now, I love a good casual t-shirt/skinnies look but don't put your tees in a kick back box. You can dress them up or down. From work to a date night, you can style a tee in a plethora of ways. This is the happy hour that turns into a night out with the girls that turns into breakfast with the homies at 2 a.m. look but you could easily swap out the skirt and bag and rock it to work. Long story short, rock your tee in any and every way you want to.

So which Height Goddess tee would you rock and more importantly how would you rock that bad boy? There is no wrong answer:)

Before we start, please don't hate me for posting these sick shoes when they are not available anymore:( I scoured the internet to locate them but I bought them last year and can't find them anywhere. But can you blame me for posting them!?! They are just fab. I mean, I love anything that Christian Siriano touches. In my humble opinion, I should be his very own tall ambassador for his sick accessory and shoe line up to size 13.  Holla at me boo. I got you C-Monay.

Ok...now that I have shamelessly plugged and relentlessly apologized, let's talk fall, tall fashion. I never thought I would say this (because I am a sunshine kid) however I am fully ready for some crisp weather so I can rock some fall style.

Everybody let the sweater dance commence! The warmth, the comfort, the style! I love this option from H&M. Not just because it is long enough in the arms straight off the shelf but also because it is long enough in the body straight off the shelf. Swoon. It's a 1-2 tall punch that knocked this sweater right into the bag. Just another example of why you must try everything on in the store even if you don't think that it will fit. What if I had passed this up? Let's think positive thoughts shall we.

Next...my current obsession...the combined leather leggings from Long Tall Sally. They are the perfect marriage of sexy and comfort. You can wear them with a gamut of options, from a white tee to a blazer, they literally go with ev-ery-thang. I am a huge fan. In fact I thought about starting a fan club for them but thought that was just silly.

Fall Fashion...let's do this! What looks are you looking forward to falling into?

COAT OF ARMS

Right now I am in a deep relationship with tall jackets and coats. There are so many of them that are fabulous and I find myself staring deep into their fabric at least once a day.

This season it's all about amazing necklines, classic cuts and layers. These are mostly tall options but as you can see I included a Forever 21 option because many of this seasons coats have short arms.

Stop the record. Silence the crowd.

Yes. I said short arms. Layering is all the rage so having your actual shirt or wrist pop out of the coat is completely acceptable (little do they know we have been forcibly sporting this for years:). I am not mad at this trend at all. Our wrists are used to it and ready to rock. 

Faux fur is also making a strong entry. I for one am so excited. Tall Girls look fierce in faux fur. Bring it on.

So there you have it...tall outerwear love at it's strongest. Which one are you crushing on?

*Love the skinnies. They give just the right amount of plaid which is a hot pattern for fall and winter. The tall tee from TTYA is just the right length and has a very sexy neckline that brings it from casual to chic. I layered a cardigan on for fun and warmth and the boots are some of my favorites. Unfortunately they are from two seasons ago but Nine West has a great boot selection that comes in sizes up to 12 that is worth a looksie.

I am going to keep it all the way real with you...

This is the second time I am writing this post because I accidentally erased the first fabulous one. I mean, the blog about these 36" inseam Check Camden Skinny Jeans from Long Tall Sally was stellar and I could recreate it but I always want to share real thoughts and feelings with you, so here goes...

I am freaking frustrated. Right now, because an hour of work on the tail end of a long work day is down the drain but lately, it's been a bevy of things. From career paths, to failing to fall into faith to the mystery of unlocking love, I have had the continuous twinge of frustration upon me for weeks now.

There. I am not perfect. I admit it and completely cop to it. I have come a long ways. I am continually growing. I will constantly evolve. I, like everyone else on this earth am human with emotions that overtake and feelings that bend.

But I will not break. I won't. I refuse. I emphatically say no.

You see, you will go through things. It is inevitable and is something that EVERYONE experiences. Whether behind closed doors or for the world to critique, our experiences have similar threads. No two stories are the same but all have unequivocal tendencies. None of us can say that we haven't navigated a storm.

Regardless of the state that we are in, I know one thing, you must stand tall though it all. Yes, you may be frustrated but you must know that this state shall pass. It's not permanent but what is etched in stone is that you are a strong, beautiful, God loved individual that already has their life planned out in a blessed way. What you feel now, is a building block for what's to come. Grow from it, absolutely. Wallow in it, never.

So that's it my friends. I am a confident, blessed woman who gets frustrated beyond belief. I am raising my hand for myself and those who cannot yet raise them. This outfit is outstanding but this is truly how I am standing right now and I hope you see beauty in the stance.

More importantly I hope you see the beauty in your stance...and continue to stand tall...despite the state that attempts to take you down.

You can't control the waves but you can build a tall, strong ship.

 

#TTYA4LTS

Today is a HUGE deal in the world of tall style! The ultra chic Taller Than Your Average has teamed up with tall fashion powerhouse Long Tall Sally to release a limited edition capsule collection for autumn/winter 2014. In fact, Glamour Magazine called the line; the coolest fashion range ever for tall girls. If that doesn't excite you, I don't know what will! I am honored to be one of the first to try the collection!

There are so many amazing pieces in the collection. I literally found myself drooling while I was pursuing the look book. When I received options from the capsule collection those feelings were completely validated. The collection is constructed beautifully. The length is proper and the design is forward thinking and thoughtful. When you put it on, you definitely know that it was made for a tall woman on the move.

I am in love with the stripe wrap shirt. It feels amazing, it's cut perfectly and is appropriately sexy. You can't help but to feel beautiful in it. I dressed it up a bit here but the versatility of this top is another reason why I am a huge fan of it. You can easily take it from day to night with a simple switch of a shoe and blazer.

Can we talk about these leather look trousers!? As you can see they are also very versatile but my favorite part (besides the long length) are the details. These aren't your run of the mill leather look pants. The biker inspired details chic up the pants and the placement of the details are great as well. The knee detail actually hits the knee! What a novel idea. That further speaks to accurate tall cut of the line.

THIS. JACKET. IS. SICK. Seriously. I can't say enough about. It feels like butter, has super long arms, is cut like a dream and he one of the most unique tall pieces you will find in the space of tall fashion. I am simply enamored.

Last, but certainly not least is the long sleeve jersey body. This is one of those staple pieces that will take your wardrobe to new heights. There are so many ways that you can wear it. It's a very chic foundational piece that will take your layering moments to new heights. Another thing I love about it is it's adjustable. All too often you only have one snap in the bodysuit but this one has two so you can find your level of comfort in the areas that usually ride in a bodysuit.

My hats off to Taller Than Your Average and Long Tall Sally for this outstanding tall collection. I am a big fan of both brands and am so happy to see them come together in this beautiful way. No lie, I literally want every single piece. Don't you? Just look at them!

I look forward to showing you more pieces from the breathtaking TTYA Capsule Collection for Long Tall Sally. What is your first take on the line? I can't wait to hear what you think!
