Here are some additional pics from our adventures at NJFFW in Atlantic City.  Barb (EP model, dear friend, and the original jersey girl) and I had an amazing time at the shopping event.  We met so many gorgeous EP customers!

I also *finally* had the chance meet some of my favorite women from the plus size world.  Gabi of blog Gabi Fresh , Chenese from Plus Size Model Radio , and Chelsea from MTV’s Chelsea Settles all stopped by our booth to say hi.I am such a fan of all three women — it was SO wonderful to meet these pioneers in person!

Runway in AC!

Last weekend Barb and I had the pleasure of attending New Jersey Full Figured Fashion Week in Atlantic City. Here’s the first of a few blog posts on our adventures:

The incredibly talented Susan Moses styled the fashion shows throughout the weekend. The Monaco, Portofino and Miami dresses all made appearances on the runway!

I love how Susan styled the Portofino dress – great head scarf, the Double Buckle Belt and fabulous wedges.

The Monaco dress in Purple looked chic paired with the Silver Buckle Belt and incredible purple heels (How did these models make it down the runway in 5 inch heels!?!?).

Sorry for the poor photo quality! These photos are courtesy of our iPhones. I’ll hopefully be posting the professional photos of the runway shows sometime soon. Stay Tuned! xoxo Jessica

My Eliza Feature: Korey in Portofino

Eliza Parker Portofino Dark Magenta with Million Ways Cardigan on Korey

Korey, my beautiful friend and a MyEliza model, is heading off on a cruise next month. She’ll be taking the Portofino dress in Dark Magenta (it’s on sale, by the way!) with her. The Portofino is a great option for a cruise. It’s chic enough for cocktail attire requirements at dinner, but it also manages to be comfortable for daytime excursions.

On a side note: the Portofino is definitely bra strap friendly.  As our friend, Kelsey, discussed on her blog Charming Pumpkin recently, I recommend a plunge bra with this dress — it sits perfectly under the Portofino and eliminates the need for a camisole.

The Portofino is a breeze to accessorize for night or day.  Korey styled the Portofino two ways: One for evening with a gorgeous statement necklace and strappy sandals. Look two pairs the Portofino with the Million Ways Cardigan. I love the relaxed daytime feel.  Korey is sensational in both day and night looks!  Let us know what you think! xoxo Jessica

Victorious in Violet

Eliza Parker Verona Dress in Violet with Double Buckle Belt

A while back (you may notice the Christmas tree in the background!), I visited Niagara Falls  and gambled a little at one of the casinos.

I wore the Verona dress in Violet with the Double Buckle Belt.  It’s the perfect dress for chilly Canadian evenings. I am in love with the extra soft mohair jersey fabric.

Pair the Verona dress with tights and boots or simple sweet flats, and you have a fabulous outfit.  The dress also proved to be lucky  – I  doubled my money on roulette!  xoxo Jessica

Million Ways (three more times!)

Million Ways Cardigan: The High Tie

Million Ways Cardigan: The Low Tie

Million Ways Cardigan: Belted

How about some more Million Ways? The Million Ways Cardigan has been my go-to separate everywhere and anywhere since December.

I wear it to the office over a pencil skirt or trousers, to brunch over leggings, and even to the gym over yoga pants. I love this top. It’s so super soft and the most versatile thing in my closet. It adds a pop of color to any look instantly.

Today I tried it over jeans and a black camisole. There are three looks: Belted, Low Tie and High Tie. Let me know which is your favorite! xoxo Jessica

Teal with a Twist

I’m thrilled that we brought back the Million Ways Cardigan. I have the magenta, gray and black from last year and literally wear them all the time. I wear the cardi as a layer to the gym or coffee shop, over leggings and jeans, and as a wrap over dresses.

This last weekend, I wore the Million Ways Teal out shopping over a simple black tunic and leggings. It’s the perfect item to travel with because it is so versatile and chic. xoxo Jessica

Warm up!

Chilly weather in SF means that I get to take my favorite winter accessories out of storage.  From November through March, I live in the Luxe Shawl in Camel.  It is super soft, provides the added warmth you need in the cooler months, and literally goes with everything.   Today I wore it with our newest Sofia dress.  The luxurious mohair fabric of the Verona dress combines with the fabulous sleek silhouette of the Sofia dress to get the gorgeous Sofia in Violet.  I added my favorite tights with riding boots to make a warm and chic winter look.  xoxo Jessica
