Press Release: State Farm & Essence Magazine Present the “Celebrate Your Unique Style Contest”

May 16th, 2012 Stiletto Siren

Hey Curvy Chicks!

Another new category here on Stiletto Siren! I receive dozens of press releases daily regarding brands, fashion opportunities, model calls, and everything under the style sun it seems and I do my best to weed through them and find the ones that I think will interest my readers most. I will now be sharing those press releases here regarding news you can use and things I truly feel are important to take notice of.

I was recently sent the following information on the Essence Music Festival and the competition State Farm and Essence Magazine are hosting to send a fashionista with some unique style and 2 of her friends to the Essence Music Festival as well as to receive a style makeover and some stage time during the festival itself! Here are the deets:

State Farm & Essence Magazine Present the “Celebrate Your Unique Style Contest”

Fans are Encouraged to Share Their Style to Win a Trip to the Essence Music Festival

State Farm and Essence Magazine have teamed up to bring you the “Celebrate Your Unique Style Contest.” The contest is a celebration of your unique style and an extension of the Essence Music Festival, an annual festival celebrating contemporary African American music and culture. This year’s music festival is July 6-8 in New Orleans, Louisiana at the Superdome. The festival will be one of the largest gatherings of African American artists in the country.

The contest celebrates State Farm’s belief that each person is unique and that your style should match your agent. To enter, fans submit a photo showcasing their unique style for a chance to attend the Essence Music Festival with 2 friends. In addition, the winner will receive a style makeover. The winner will be brought on stage at the music festival and their makeover will be featured online. All entries will be judged by a panel of qualified judges and one winner will be selected.

Your Style. Your Plan.

To participate in the “Celebrate Your Unique Style Contest” contest submit your photo to WWW.ESSENCE.COM/CELEBRATEYOURUNIQUESTYLE. The contest begins May 7th and will run until June 7th.

What are you waiting for? Go enter and show um what your working with!

What I Wore: “You Dis And Wanna Kiss? Now That’s Absurd”

May 11th, 2012 Stiletto Siren

Hey Curvy Chicks!

I had a really great day today that included sleeping until Noon, celebrating that my amazing girlfriend got a 100% on her last final of the semester giving her straight A’s (for real she worked her ass off so everyone give her some congrats) and spending the day with one of my oldest friends Jackie. I listened to some great old school hip hop, talking about how I was back in the day, felt energized and happy as a girl could be and had a awesome day.  I also actually got myself all beautified today and decided that I might as well snap a couple photos with my iPhone and share my outfit in an absolute quickie fashion. HERE YOU GO!

Head Scarf: Apricot Lane/Sunnies: Armani Exchange (Gifted from Nordstrom Rack)/Leopard Cross Earrings: Betsey Johnson/ Crochet Top: City Chic (Gifted)/Black Cami: City Chic/Jeggings: Torrid/Wedges: Torrid (Gifted)

How was your Friday and what did you wear?

Shop Til You Drop: New Forever21+ Swimwear For Under $30

May 3rd, 2012 Stiletto Siren

Hey Curvy Chicks!

While I may have shelled out some serious dough a few months back and am now anxiously awaiting the arrival of my Monif C bikini for the summer, high priced designer suits aren’t in everyone’s budget, but that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice great style right? I have to say when the new Swim collection hit Forever21+ yesterday I was seriously impressed with the plus size swimsuits they were offering for such a great price. All of these suits are available for under $30 and are all on trend made to flatter your curvy curves and pretty fly if you ask me!

Retro Halter Swimsuit

Ruffled Ruched Swimsuit

Ruched Halter Swimsuit

Ruched Leopard Swimsuit

Fringed Halter Swimsuit

 

What do you think of the 2012 Swim Collection for Forever21+? Will you be rocking your curves in a swimsuit this summer?
