Meanwhile on Instagram...

Hello There Gorgeous Dolls,

I never really informed you all, but I'm on Instagram (yay, another social networking site), but I would love to keep in touch with you all on there and on CRB of course. My username is @classicraw, so when you get the chance feel free to look me up and continue the fun we have on here.

I haven't gotten the chance to share, but I am one of the new faces for a plus size boutique called Infinite Style for the summer! This is both humbling and exciting for me, it feels great to be recognized for what I do as blogger and up-and-coming local model. 

Without my followers' support, I really do not know where my success would be! 

Love you all! 

Smooches! 

CRB Summer Fashion

As the summer goes by, I have been working it away at Forever21! It feels great to finally contribute my love for fashion and style in one of my favorite stores! I love standing out with my bright lips and HUGE hair, customers take to me so well and this makes me smile!

I promise I will snap some pictures of my work outfits this week! 

To keep my lovely followers on track with what I'm loving this summer, here are some items that I purchased from Forever21 online:

Cropped Turtle Neck 

As soon as I saw this in the store on my first day, I had to have it! But as soon as I went to go purchase it, they were sold out, thank goodness for online shopping gratification! 

Studded Loafers

After working long hours at the new, BIGGER Forever21 in Concord, my feet take a beating! I decided to order these cute, functional loafers that add style and rocker chic appeal!

Pleated Romper

This is an essential piece that needed to be added to my wardrobe! Something that I can wear both on the job and out on the town! I need to find this belt since I LOVE THIS together! It's all about functionality and comfort ladies.

Nude Patent Loafers

Loafers are my substitute for heels, I can still be chic and adorable in a pair of flats instead of abusing my feet in heels and wedges. 

So what are you ladies buying for the summer season? 

CRB Reviews: Escante Lace Bustier

Hello Dolls!

So today I have a special post, something that Classic.Raw.Beauty has never done before. *Cues in Drum Roll* I will be doing a blogger review of Plus Size Lingerie Boutique’s intimate apparel for curvy girls! When contacted by the company, I was extremely excited to be the voice of opinion for women of similar build who may purchase items from this online boutique.

When opening the complementary package from Plus Size Lingerie, I was ecstatic to find a pair of nylon knee highs and a naughty G-string to go along with the lace bustier. These complementary items made this review even more fun to do!  

When looking at the product online, I thought the bustier would be more rigid like a bustier and more curve enhancing. To my surprise, the lace bustier was more soft than rigid, I was kind of disappointed that the picture online did not fulfill what I thought I saw. Once I tried this bad by on, the lingerie boutique was forgiven instantly, because the top of the bustier supported my C-cup breasts perfectly! I usually have an issue trying to find lingerie from stores like Lane Bryant, whose cup sizes fail to fit my cup and width sizes. Plus Size Lingerie Boutique won me over with the adjustable strap that can tighten or loosen the cups for my personal comfort level. 

Though I was not a huge fan of the boning within the lace bustier, the middle lace panel smoothed my middle section impeccably. It definitely gave off a slimming effect to my curvy silhouette. I loved this about the lace bustier. 

I was determined to incorporate this piece of lingerie into my casual wear with this maxi skirts and distressed jean jacket. Though this lingerie trend is risqué, I decided to pair it with simple, classic pieces. 

Overall I give this item a B +, this would definitely be an online boutique I would shop at again. I highly recommend this product to all my curvy ladies looking for intimate apparel for that special someone or for those looking for  a unique piece to add to their wardrobe.
