Last week was a week of major hauling for Miss Merli In NYC.  There were tons of amazing finds at the NYC Plus Size Clothing Swap hosted by xoxonettaP & Kendra Porter of Honor You at Katra Lounge. The amount of people and clothes that were swapped was insane! There was so many goodies that when 8:30 came to end the event no one wanted to leave. I loved it! Check out some of my lovely finds below. Have you ever been to a swap?

Miss Merli Goes Behind the Scenes of Vivere Lookbook Shoot

Fashionistas, designers, and clothing lovers alike, how many times have you wondered what work has gone on to create some of the most amazing campaigns that we love? Of course you ask who is the stylist, is the designer involved in the process, and what about that beautiful model how does she work. Well Miss Merli In NYC got an exclusive invitation from Vivere to do just that, meet the designer, model, photographer, and stylist.  I also had the opportunity to also style the model and be a model who knew?! Check out the pics for yourself. Special shoutout to fellow bloggers who are always a pleasure to hangout with and vibe off of  Jeannette Arrowood, Vanessa Flowers, Hanna Erlandsson, Manfattan, stylist @Jacquistafford and thank you to Janine Just  Vivere for the invitation I had a complete blast and look forward to doning your fashions hopefully sooner than I think.

How about this bracelet? I love it as well.

I don't know what she said something along the lines like shut up you're beautiful after I complained about my naked face.

                            What do you think about Vivere would you rock Sabrina's designs?

Beyonce's Call to Change "I Was Here"

More than a style icon Beyonce has brought attention to the many world issues that are currently taking place. In this video that was less about her and more about everyone else, one could not help but to shed tears to realize that so many of us can say "I Was Here". Whether it be through volunteering at a kitchen pantry, donating clothes to the less fortunate, or even just sponsoring a child to go to camp for a few weeks in the summer, we all can be apart of healing our world. Not many entertainers take that message on one that certainly pierces my mind is the late great Michael Jackson, but Beyonce certainly is making a stab at it and has done so with poise in this video. Stunning in her Marc Bouwer white sequin dress she dazzled and shined, her emotions beamed right through the screen and to my heart. One question that certainly one can translate through the song is, "How will you make your mark on this Earth?"
