Is Spring in the Air?
|
Ok, firstly I’ll admit that looking out of the window today is not filling me with the joys of Spring. However, when walking the dog over the last few days I have been surprised to see the sprouting of tulips and other spring flowers along my way. Apart from the odd day (like today) the weather has been pleasantly mild for the time of year – so I thought it time to turn my thoughts to Spring/Summer fashion.
Spring promises a soft and feminine feel in fashion, with sheer silk dresses which are so delicate they will dance at a hint of summer breeze. Following the success of purple in Winter, Spring will bring a new lighter shade – violet, which will be a key colour in all tones. Even denim will be turning soft, in faded blue washes and wispy frayed seams. Floral & safari patterns, and indulgent hand painted fabrics will also be out in force. So get girly this season, and for some plus size fashion essentials try Curvety.com. |

Real Curves Slated Online
Keely Shaye Smith, former soap star and wife to 007 actor Pierce Brosnan, was last week pictured on the beach in Hawaii, daring to show her curvy figure in a bikini.
TMZ.com ran with now and then pics of the happy couple, with the earlier pic showing a slim Keely. The title read ‘Double Oh No! Pierce Brosnan and his wife, Keely Shaye Smith, had a whale of a time on the island of Kauai on Wednesday’.
While it is not politically correct to judge by race, gender or social standing, it is still deemed ok by some in the media to be down right rude about weight. I was gladdened to see that most of the readers on the TMZ site were commenting on how beautiful she looked in the beach shot & how wrong TMZ were for their nastiness.
‘I think it’s great that she is proud of her body,’ said S. Tia Brown, senior editor for InTouch Weekly. ‘To be in a photo in a bikini in your 40s and not be petite, speaks to her confidence. It takes even more courage because her husband is considered a sex symbol.’
Her husband, who played James Bond and has been called ‘the sexiest man alive,’ said he thought his wife was stunning. ‘I love my wife’s curves,’ Brosnan told Vogue.
‘I never shy away from color or my curves,’ the beautiful Smith told a magazine. ‘I like to play up my neckline and shoulders. If a jacket is pulling in the bust, I might just move the button an inch. But I never hide in baggy clothing.’

Igigi New Workwear Collection
|
US plus size clothing specialists IGIGI have introduced a ten-piece work collection made up of fabulous staples including jackets, trousers and skirts in US sizes 12 to 30 (UK sizes 16 to 34).
‘I am thrilled to introduce this new collection,’ said IGIGI Founder and Designer. ‘It is almost like every customer who bought a dress, wore it and came back home with a trail of compliments called or emailed us and asked when we would come out with clothes they could wear to the office and feel like they we were on top of the world. It took us some time for development purposes, but here it is now and I think the IGIGI community will love these pieces of class and comfort.’ The new line, which is designed to flatter the plus size figure, features large open collars, 3/4 length sleeves, side zippers and princess seams & are made from top quality stretch gabardine/viscose.
