LOOK OF THE DAY: CASUAL COMFORT IN A T-SHIRT AND JEANS BY STS BLUE

Happy November, Blogland!

I hope you all had a fun, sweet and safe Halloween!  Now, let's talk about Jeans...
They are a staple for so many of us, and with so many styles, cuts and washes it is nice to have a variety of the in your wardrobe.
However, comfortable, flattering cut, quality jeans aren't usually that affordable, but it doesn't have to be that way.  The STS Blue jean line offers a variety of them for an affordable price ranging from $42 - $68.
They kindly sent me a pair of their Piper Skinny Mid-Rise Jeans and they fit like a glove!  
I've always wanted to try a pair of black skinny jeans, and I'm in love with the look, fit and how comfortable they are to wear.  I always have trouble finding jeans I like, but I am truly so happy with these and their perfect stretch factor!
I put this simple t-shirt and jeans look together for under $90 plus accessories!
The best part is they offer FREE Shipping & Returns on every order, which makes it that much more affordable and creates a worry-free shopping experience!  
However, if you still prefer to try them on before purchasing, you can buy them at your local Nordstrom as well.  Share your favorite, affordable jeans in the comments below!

REVIEW + GIVEAWAY: KEYSOCKS - WHEN FASHION, COMFORT & FUNCTIONALITY MEET

Happy Monday, Fashionable Friends!

I was recently introduced to KeySocks, an affordable, super soft and comfortable line of socks that allow you to wear your favorite heels or cute flats when the weather gets cooler.

The socks are knee high in length, but don't show as a sock in the front, which makes them pair well when wearing pants or your favorite, go-to jeans.  I think its perfect for booties, which you'll see below, because sometimes you can see the front part of your foot, but with these you won't and it adds extra comfort to the heel area.  Love it!

Not only do they add that little bit of extra comfort, but with football season, apple and pumpkin picking in full swing, they add a little warmth as well without having to compromise your fashion.

Their online shop offers a variety of staple and versatile colors from their original, light and girls lines. Plus, they offer a 100% money back guarantee because customer satisfaction is their top priority!

Plus, I'm giving away a pair to 1 lucky Fabulous Fashions 4 Sensible Style Reader!  Just scroll to the end of this post to enter and Good Luck! :)

AFFORDABLE FASHION REVIEW: CLASSIC COLLECTION BY NICKI MINAJ

Happy Monday, Everyone!
Popular recording artist, Nicki Minaj, recently came out with a classic and couture clothing line.  
Her team reached out to me and introduced me to her Classic Collection, which offers a variety of dresses, tops and skirts, all under $25.  The affordable prices made it a perfect fit form my blog, and one I wanted to share with each of you.
The line offers a way to "look fashionable and feel confident in your curves," something I like, since I've always had fuller hips.  Each piece in the collection is "created with easy-to-wear fabrics including versatile rib knits, soft ultrasuede, and comfortable jersey cotton blends."
They kindly sent me the Rib Zip Front Midi Dress in black, seen below on the model and then on me, to review.  It offers a versatile, classic black dress look, which can be dressed up with some heels or down with a some chic sandals or even flip flops on the go.
I'm someone who doesn't love having things fitted around my hips, but the dress they sent is super soft and with quality stretch that gives added comfort and movement.  Although the dress is lightweight, it is not see-through, which is often a problem with lighter fabrics, so, this was an unexpected positive factor.
Overall, the knee length cut and sleeves, seen on most of her tops, dresses and skirts, make many appropriate for the work place and will transition seamlessly into happy hour or dinner after work.  
Also, there are a number of more club worthy, fitted, low cut and backless options, which fit Nicki Minaj's overall persona and style, but with a balance of some more conservative options, which fit my style, it does offer options for a wider range of tastes and styles.

1. Textured Flannel Neck Crop Top $19.99 (Available Colors: Red & Black)
2. Rib Knit Zip Front Midi Dress $19.99 (Available Colors: Black & Gray)
3. Mock Neck Ultrasuede Dress $24.99 (Available Colors: Camel & Black)

Dress: Nicki Minaj Classic Collection = $19.99  /  Black Heels: Steve Madden - TJ Maxx = $34.99  /  Bronze Clutch: Target = $6.00 (on christmas sale - available in 4 additional colors)  / Chain Bracelet: Miss A = $1.00
