In Full Effect

Hola Chicas!

I don't know how it is where you are, but here on the east coast the summer sun is in full effect. We've been experiencing 90+ degree weather for weeks now. Thank goodness that for this summer season less can be more. With many designers using simple, chic white designs in their S/S 2010 collections this trend is coming to streets near you.
In my quest for a white dress, that wasn't matronly or wedding-ish, I came across this Monif C. design. You'd think finding a white dress in the middle of summer wouldn't be so hard. Unfortunately Nordstrom, Saks, Lane Bryant, Igigi, Kiyonna, all of my faves failed me in my quest. But this dress hit the nail on the head just when I was becoming desperate. White? Check. Chic? Check. Not overwrought or over thought? Check! Pair this dress with a pair of neutral shoes to keep the clean look of the outfit and you will have the ultimate summer ensemble on your hands.

The dress can be found at monifc.com
The shoes are sexy and come with a stacked heel that provides a bit more sturdiness than stilettos. They are by Michael Kors and can be found at Nordstrom either in stores or online at nordstrom.com

I Had to Give In

Temptation was too great, the clothes were too fabulous, Crystal Renn was too fierce for me to forgo posting the pictures from her fashion spread in V Magazine. I tried to resist and simply mentioned and linked to it in the previous post. However, as a wanna-be plus model and advocate of all things fabulous and curvy...and fabulously curvy...I couldn't resist showcasing the pictures on this blog. She holds her own alongside a straight sized model and shows that bigger may not always be better...but it is damn sure equal. And when it comes to fun, funky, fearless clothes maybe one size can fit all.

Haute, Haute, HOT!

Hey fashionistas!

Today's post was born of necessity. Well, that may be a bit dramatic but I did feel compelled to blog when I saw these images and I have finally made time to post them here for your viewing pleasure.
I came across these stunning pictures in issue 63 of V Magazine, an edgy fashion mag. In their size issue, they featured a fabulous spread from the curvy beauty Crystal Renn in which she proved that clothes can look good whether showcased on slender or fuller frames (She also proved that she can be as fierce as any model on the planet) but the lusciousness didn't stop there. In a spread aptly entitled Curves Ahead, models Candice Huffine, Marquita Pring, Michelle Olson, Tara Lynn, and Kasia P served big girl body in the best way. Full of confidence, sexiness, style and glamour, these women showed that straight sized models aren't the only ones made for fashion mags.
This picture made me stop. Not (just) because she is nude but her face is also FLAWELESS. She is absolutely stunning in this picture.
