FROM THE EDITOR Tawana Blassingame Founder & Editor in Chief
Welcome to the October 2017 issue of Queen Size Magazine. At this point everyone should have already shopped the fall trends. Y’all know this is my favorite time of the year; sweater dresses and boots. These never go out of style for me. Prints made an appearance this summer and it looks like it is sticking around through the fall as well. I just scored some amazing floral sweater dresses from The Avenue, which by the way has become one of my favorites. In this issue we have featured some fall trends from Torrid and Charlotte Russe so be sure to check them out, and be sure to let us know what your favorite fall trends are by tagging #queensizemagazine and #iamqueensize in those photos. As always, thank you all for your support. We are six years in and still going strong; all thanks to you. We would love to hear your feedback. Email us at queensizemagazine@gmail. com and let us know what you like, don’t like and/or want to see in future issues. We value your opinion.
