A Dress for All Seasons

August 14, 2018 By: Fan

Today on the blog I wanted to share with you the Marie dress from Heart of Haute which is perfect for curves and all seasons. Heart of Haute has such a great selection of curvy fashion and curvy dresses. I am wearing the Marie in Teal Dragonfly print and have been rocking this fabulous frock since February. The dress is not only perfect for late Winter but also for Spring and Summer and depending where you live I think you can wear it well into early Autumn. I am wearing the Marie in my standard 2X size and I think you will agree that it fits my curves to perfection. The dress is so light and comfortable too!!

Here in northern California the mornings can start chilly and then the evenings cool off nicely in summer so adding a touch of warmth with this Sweet Sweater is perfect. The Sweet Sweater comes in a variety of colors from Heart of Heart and it is a wardrobe staple… yes; I own one in every color. Hurry on over to Heart of Haute and snap up a Marie dress and some Sweet Sweaters while they are in stock, you will love them!!

ModCloth Gnomes Dolores Dress

August 6, 2018 By: Fan

To me Gnomes have almost a fairytale like charm to them; they are mysterious, mischievous, and adorable. When I first laid eyes on this Gnome print dress from the latest collaboration between vintage inspired Collectif Clothing UK and ModCloth it seemed like the perfect novelty print match and I was so excited to get this Collectif x MC Copacetic Charm Midi Dress in Gnomes on my body.

The dress style is the Dolores dress from Collectif and it seems to naturally be cut for a large bust and girls with curves. It is incredibly comfortable and very figure flattering. The Gnome and mushroom print is so sweet and bright, it is perfect on the navy blue background. The details of this dress are so well done with the elasticized cap sleeves, pleated and buttoned neckline and the fit and flare silhouette make it light and can easily be paired with a petticoat for additional fluff. In these photos I am not wearing a petticoat. My accessories are very simply with red shoes to play off of the red mushrooms in the dress.

The Dolores is such an easy to wear style that has so much vintage inspired charm. I am wearing the dress in UK 20 to fit my bust but I will size down next time, as it is a very stretchy dress while keeping my hourglass shape. I can see many more Dolores styles in my future and they will be easy to dress up with different colored cardigans, handbags and shoes. Hurry and snap up this Collectif x MC Copacetic Charm Midi Dress in Gnomes as it is nearly all sold out!!

Watermelon Crush

Watermelon is usually a hit at every BBQ and all summer long. The sweet and juicy fruit is so hydrating and packed with all sorts of goodness for your skin and hair. So, what could be even better then a dripping delicious slice of chilled watermelon… well, this stunning Lady Voluptuous Lyra Dress in Watermelon Crush!!

Look at this stunningly sweet pattern…. watermelon covers the entire dress but is strategically placed so they look perfect on this wrap dress. The colors are bright and vivid with shades or pinks and reds and then that bright green just screams summer. This style is the Lyra dress and it is a wrap dress made in the UK by Lady Voluptuous. I have worm many Lyra dresses from Lady V and this one is so fun and summery and sweet. We had a lot of fun over the weekend shooting these pics and my little Luna was not happy that she wasn’t getting any watermelon.

Easy, Breezy, Beautiful, Summer Dresses

July 10, 2018 By: Fan

The team over at Lady Voluptuous keeps amazing me with each season as they come out with the prettiest of wrap dresses- the Lyra dress. I love the Lyra dresses because they look spectacular on a wide variety of body shapes and available in sizes 14-32 UK and are made from high quality fabrics. I love the Lyra’s fit, because it is a wrap dress it fits my bust perfectly and gives me a very feminine silhouette. I feel well dressed and beautiful.

For summer, these two styles (already selling out online) are perfection. Being a lover of color, I was smitten with the Lyra Dress – Summer Blue immediately. The full 1950s skirt and fluttery sleeves felt so classic while the fabric (96% polyester and 4% elastine) is perfect for those scorching hot summer days and, no wrinkling!! The dress ties in the back to accentuate your waist.

The bright Summer Blue dress is such a stunning color and the florals make it a very pretty print. You can match cardigans and accessories with ease. I kept the look simple, as I wanted the print to standout and am wearing my standard size 18 UK in the Lyra dress. Fits my curves perfectly and keeps me comfy all day. Even hangs with my puppy dog Luna on the porch are perfect in this dress

Take a look at this gorgeous Lyra Dress – Floral Wonderland. The stunning florals are what caught my eye and I could not wait to get this dress. Again, I am wearing my standard size 18 UK and couldn’t be happier with the fit. I added a sweet pink bow and my blue shoes for a pop of color.

The Floral Wonderland dress is classic and sophisticated making it a perfect dress to wear to a summer wedding or out to dinner and dancing, or a stroll on the boardwalk and beach. The florals are so pretty and feminine. The fabric is a stretch jersey and has those lush fluttery sleeves and ties in the back to accentuate your waist. The Floral Wonderland is selling out quickly and comes in sizes 8-22 UK.

Lady Voluptuous is a UK company and makes all their items right in the UK. They have a wide selection of dress and skirt styles in sizes up to 32. Lady V of London has many styles of dresses that come in a variety of silhouettes and stunning prints that you will need them all!! I live in California and shipping is very fast. Hurry to Lady V of London and snap up your summer dresses before they are all sold out!!

Mod Mint Day in San Francisco

July 2, 2018 By: Fan

A fit and flare dress is universally flattering on a number of body shapes while making legs look longer and showing off your waist. This aqua blue beauty with a stunning border print of San Francisco in particular from retailer Modcloth in collaboration with one of my favorite vintage-style brands Collectif Clothing made me swoon from the first moment I saw the Collectif MC Golden State of Mind A-Line Dress online.

Living in the Bay Area this dress was an absolute must for me!! It arrived very quickly and I could not wait to put it on and shoot it for you all. I was not sure exactly which size to order but I followed the online size guide to fit my bust and am wearing the dress in size 20 (UK) and it fits my curves perfectly. Dress is available in sizes 4 (UK) – 28 (UK). It is so wonderful that Modcloth has beautiful clothing for us plus size gals. There is room for my ample bust, it has pockets, and the skirt is so full and gives me such a feminine silhouette and makes me want to twirl, twirl, twirl.

The boarder print on this Golden State of Mind A-Line Dress is incredibly detailed with the world-famous Golden Gate Bridge and the cable cars that buzz around the city all day and then of course that stunning aqua blue water. The dress is cotton but feels like cotton sateen and is made incredibly well and is very high quality. I styled the dress for a pastel summer day in San Francisco complete with my pink sweater and vintage Enid Collins cable car purse. We snapped some photos before heading into San Francisco!! I received so many compliments and felt so pretty.

Check out this super sweet Polaroid camera that matches my outfit to perfection!! My sweet hubby surprised me with this one, it is the brand new Polaroid Originals One Step2 Camera Mint in special addition Mint and nearly impossible to get your hands on and this pack of Ice Cream color film. WOW!! We had so much fun in the city taking a photo walk.

I cannot wait for more dresses like this from Modcloth. I have many dresses from Collectif London and love the 40s-50s vintage glam Pinup styles so with Modcloth collaborating with Collectif, I think we are going to be seeing some amazing items hitting the Modcloth website soon!! Ladies, hurry and snap up your Golden State of Mind A-Line Dress while sizes remain in stock….. You will be sad if you don’t!!
