Transitional Sweaters – Dryel Home Care Tips
When it comes to fashion, the laundry does not stop! One discovers (very quickly) the proper care and treatment of garments is vitally important. Each article of clothing has its own label that includes the fabric percentage, content and suggested laundry needs.
I have a few sweaters that I’ve started wearing to help with the transition of seasons. In this region, the weather fluctuates; one day it’s cold enough to wear a cashmere tunic and the next day I’m searching for an open-front cardigan.
Dryel is such an important product (for your wardrobe) because it’s easy to use, inexpensive, and less damaging to your clothing. The product contains 6 cloths and for hard to clean stains, the company provides a booster spray.
From my personal experience, the kit was simple and resulted in my sweaters smelling great. I opened the Dryel ultra cleaning cloth and placed inside of the bag (with my sweaters.) After tumbling in the dryer for 30 minutes, I removed the sweaters and put them on a satin hanger. This was an easy laundry process for a lady on the go!
Check back with the site (over the next few months) and I will share additional tips from Dryel At-Home Cleaner.

Shoedazzle Color Of The Month – Daffodil Accessories
Daffodil is considered the new Shoedazzle color of the month. The accessories brand has an array of Daffodil inspired handbags, jewelry, and shoes. First Lady, Michelle Obama wore a similar shade in a beautiful sheath dress. This inspired women to wear the hue while adding a pop of color into their wardrobe.
It’s the perfect Spring shade because this color mixes (and matches) well with every fashion piece. Trendsetters and Style Bloggers are seen wearing Daffodil colored eyeshadow, nail polish, and hair accessories.
For an everyday look, pair (Daffodil) yellow accessories with a jumpsuit, jeans, or basic t-shirt. Color trends are fun to wear but don’t forget to make the style your own!

Ashley Stewart – Extended Size Collection Blogger Collaboration
Ashley Stewart, the premier plus size fashion brand, announces the launch of their spring dress collection in sizes 12-32. Already a brand known for embracing women’s curves, Ashley Stewart’s offering of their trend-right dresses in sizes 28, 30 and 32 allows a whole new customer to express herself through fashion and use the streets as her runway.
“We listened. Our customers have been asking us for more sizes and we’ve answered with our most sought-after dress styles,” says Kristen Gaskins, President and CMO of Ashley Stewart. “The collection will include maxi dresses, jumpsuits, and ready-for-work styles, with plans to extend more categories in the future.”
Ashley Stewart is launching their new collection and size expansion with real women. Partnering with Plus Model Magazine and bloggers Alissa Wilson from Stylish Curves, Beck Delude from Manfattan, Tiffany from Lace N’ Leopard and Megahan O’Conner from Little Lime Dress, each girl shows off their personal style while showcasing the new Ashley Stewart Spring Dress Collection. Denim dresses, patterned shifts, striped jumpsuits and the signature Butterfly Bra™ allow women to flaunt their curves.
“I think it’s amazing that Ashley Stewart has extended their size range because this is something that is needed. When you look at the fashion industry, all of these brands stop at a size 14 and 16, which makes you feel like the world stops at a 14/16. Having extended sizes is letting women know that they too can be fashionable regardless of their size.” – Alissa Wilson of StylishCurves.com
“Ashley Stewart extending their size range is very important for the brand as well as an important step in the fashion world. Allowing women who are 28 through 32 to dress for their shape and style is not only exciting but it is an uplifting movement that I am very happy to be part of.” – Meaghan O’Connor of LittleLimeDress.com
Available online at AshleyStewart.com, the new collection launches on March 1st. Given the buzz generated by Ashley Stewart’s industry-leading social media platforms and the national #LoveYourCurvesTour, which kicked off in Dallas over Presidents Day Weekend, the new sizes are expected to be very popular and sell out quickly.
