Curves & Prints

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. . .

Love It or Leave It: High-Waist Shorts

photo credit: passion foodie

It's Summer...4th of July is tomorrow and vacations are booked!  All you need is a pair of high-waist shorts.  The high-waist thing is on trend for the season in swimsuits, pencil skirts, and cropped pants, and of course vintage.  When I saw this photo of  Dyan of Passion Foodie and our beloved Blah Blah Birds rocking some high-waist shorts during a trip to Jamaica, I definitely had to show how cute her look was and help you find some cuties to wear this Summer too.  So, here's what I found...

Love it or Leave it: Bermudas

Paul & Joe Spring 2013
Nanette Lepore Spring 2013

Bermuda shorts in my mind were always those vacation shorts that your grandma wore with big floral prints on them.  Well, that has changed!   For Spring,  the bermuda short is on trend and has taken on a whole new vibe.  I think I'm feeling it!  Chic them up by wearing with a silk button-down blouse, a boyfriend blazer paired with an open-toe ankle boot, a chunky wedge, or a laced-up gladiator sandal. You can't go wrong with that or just pair with a soft cozy tee for a more laid back look.  Just get some for Spring! 



Here's my favs...

Nicole Richie always looks great when she hits the red carpet or on any given day.   With her hair up and fresh make-up, she looked effortless chic. I thought she was wearing a dress, but she's wearing a sleeveless top and a high-low hem skirt (not too fond of the paisley print ) by her own collection, Winter Kate.  Loving the leather sleeve jacket and tribal print top. I adore prints, but a tribal or ethnic print...gotta have it!  I bought the aztec midi dress below from Asos Curve...can't wait to try it on.
