Curves & Prints

photo credit: jiggyloves

Curves and Prints are a lovely thing! Wearing prints camouflages problem areas and are really fun to wear.  In the photo, I'm wearing a printed jumpsuit by Anthropologie (no longer available), which I love and it's great for my curves.  It pulls up, no annoying zippers or buttons.   A lot of the time it's hard to find quality and cute pieces to fit just right, but I think I found some cuties that my curvy reader will love.  Here are some of my go-to online shops. . .

Wednesday Style Steal...

 Miranda Kerr

Ok!  Yes, another WSS featuring Miranda Kerr.  What can I say, her style catches my eye!  Tuxedo pants have been around since Spring and should run straight through Fall.  I'm really starting to dig them.  They add that special touch when you turn to the side or just knowing that stripe is going down the side is too fun! lol! Gotta find me a pair!  Of course, I spotted Miranda Kerr wearing them and she looked really darling chic.  Her look can go from day to night in seconds.  Love it!  Also,  recently saw Rihanna rockin' some here.  

Here are some of my favorites...

cheetah stripe pants

striped side pants

crepe tuxedo trouser

warehouse color block pants

silk colorblock pants

ivory and black wide-leg tuxedo pant

Also, these from Pixie Market are pretty cute...

tribal print trousers

reno pant

Feeling the tuxedo pant or not so much?

happy summer!!!  when I think of summer, one of the main things I think of is travel.  where can I go?  who can I go visit?  It is the time for lots of vacay!  when I saw this photo of Miranda Kerr, I thought her look was perfect for summer travel.  relaxed drawstring trousers, light-weight tee, a blazer to keep you warm and cozy during the flight, lovely sunnies, and of course the ultimate travel tote. as for the peep-toe pumps, I'm not a stiletto/pump girl, but I would throw on some cute flat sandals and keep it moving.  whatever works for you!

Wednesday Style Steal: Pretty In Pink

Beyonce Knowles

Paris, France

Here I go again with another "WSS" on Beyonce.  What can I say, I'm just really feeling her style lately.  Got your red pants? Now get some pink!  I'm not really a pink girl, but something about a pair of pink pants really catches my eye.  Beyonce paired hers with a print, but a solid blouse in any color would work great...colorblocking!  I love her in this relaxed, no fuss look!

Snake Skinned...

python wraparound watch

python boras bag

snakeskin ballet flats

snake pattern scarf 

snake print pant

sydney sandal

snake print maxi skirt

I love almost anything leopard print, but lately I've been drawn to snakeskin print which seems to be the "it" print of the moment.  Snakeskin can be pretty pricey in it's genuine state, but there are a lot of faux snakeskin cuties to go around.  My finds are a good mix of both.

Are you feeling it?

Blooming Prints...

floral print jumpsuit by topshop

one shoulder pattern dress by eloquii

scattered heartsease blouse by leifsdottir

nina jacket by creatures of comfort

wide leg floral print pant by alice + olivia

black vintage one-piece by miss selfridge

Floral prints are a must for this Summer...the bigger the better!  Sometimes floral prints can be a bit matronly, but if you stick to an updated silhouette you will be less matron and more chic.  Mix prints by pairing a floral skirt or pant with a striped top like this or keep it safe with a solid.  I'm looking for the perfect pair! My mom has some wide leg pants from the late 80s early 90s that I've got to get my hands on.  I did just get these on sale...loving them!

Happy first day of May!

What do you think Bey and Jay are talking about? Hmmm...
Bey: "Darn, my favorite earring broke!" or "My earring fell off" Jay: "Huh? What did you say?"

Streetstyle: Printed Pant

I've got more streetstyle for you today!  The printed pant was all over the streets of New York and Paris during Fashion Week.  The ladies really came out with great style.  They had fun with color and prints while showing off their personal style.  Major inspiration for me as I'm a lover of prints and vibrant color! 

Here are my favs...

Tamu of all the pretty birds rock some cut printed palazzo pants and vibrant cardi.
So fresh and fun...she is such a cutie!!!!

My fav of them all!  Love the mixing of prints and textures.  The tote is a HOT one for sure!
