PLUSH BOUTIQUE, By: Alissa

Hey curvy girls,

I found a really cool site that caters to the curvy girl. Plush Boutique is based in Atlanta and now has an online site where you can purchase plus size apparel in sizes 12 and up from some of your favorite brands.

On their site they carry everything from Monif C., Kiyonna, and Igigi.

They also carry the transgender friendly shoe line Le Dame footwear which comes in extended sizes for those girls who wear a size 11 and up. They are offering a 10% coupon on orders that are $50 or more. Check out their Facebook page for more info and their website at Plush Boutique

I recently became a fan of theirs on Facebook and discovered these cute dresses on their photos page.

FOREVER21 GIFT CARD WINNER

Hey curvy girls,
Thanks so much for entering in the Forever 21 giveaway. The winner for the giveaway is

Asha
When asked how does she embrace her curves Asha said-"honestly, i just recently started embracing my curves by wearing clothes that showcase my brickhouseness instead of hiding behind sizes and cuts that were way too big and loose."

Thanks Asha, hopefully this gift certificate can help you to continue embracing your curves in a stylish way. I remember the first time I realized that my curves were beautiful and from then on I vowed to never wear shapeless clothing again. 


 Please send in a pic from your Forever 21 purchase when you get it.

AT THE OFFICE!

Hey curvy girls,

Are you enjoying the unusual warm weather today? I am. Since it is super sunny today, I decided to wear one of my many bright colored dresses. I bought this dress at Banana Republic on the sale rack for about $25 almost 2 years ago. It has carried me through numerous weight losses and weight gains and manages to still make me look and feel pretty good. My favorite part of this dress is the billowy sleeves that tie. I can wear this dress with so many pairs of shoes, but, today, I rocked my BCBG Girls multi colored pumps.

Since I work in the finance industry, I try to keep the office wear simple and chic. The one thing that I don't keep simple at the office is my footwear. My heels are normally 3.5 or higher and have some sort of crazy design to them. I'm quite sure, I have worn some questionable heels to the office. Lol!

Trying to do a close-up of my earrings.

I promise to work on some better poses. I haven't been catching up on my ANTM lately.

What I'm Wearing:

Banana Republic Dress

BCBG Shoes
H&M Earrings
Bracelet-Garage Sale

DKNY JEANS and MIRACLEBODY JEANS IN PLUS SIZES , By: Alissa

Hey curvy girls,
I was catching up on my monthly magazine reads and came across some great curvy girl denim news while reading People Style Watch. DKNY has a new plus size denim line with sizes ranging from 14W-24W. I said it before and I'll say it again, Donna Karan is one of my all time favorite designers along with Michael Kors. I feel like she has always made clothes for a curvy body. Even before other brands, she was carrying sizes 14 and 16. Last year she debuted her DKNYC line and included plus sizes and here she is again thinking about her curvy girls with this new plus size denim line. Let's just hope they fit well.

Check out a few pieces. All available at Zappos.

Need jeans that make you look 10 pounds lighter in 10 seconds, then checkout the Miraclebody jean. The Miraclebody jean is made with built in shapewear to keep those curves in place. I love a good fitted jean and these look like they accentuate and flatter your curves simultaneously.

Check them out at Bloomingdales

What do you guys think about the new DKNY denim line and the Miraclebody jeans?

GET IN ON THE CHAMBRAY TREND, By: Alissa

Hey curvy girls,
This season, one of denim's family members is starting to shine. If you haven't noticed already, Chambray is becoming the fabric of the season. The light weight fabric looks just like denim, but, it's a little more comfortable and less abrasive.

Are you a curvy girl looking to get in on the trend? Here are a few pieces to check out .

SKINNY GIRL FASHION FOR CURVY GIRLS, By: Alissa

Hey curvy girls,
Check out Kourtney Kardashian showing off her new post baby curves in cargo pants, a v-neck tee, and wrapped platform sandals. I have to admit that the zebra clutch throws me off a little bit. The outfit is a little too casual for a clutch, let alone a zebra print clutch. However, the outfit is cute with a hint of sexiness.

BEST STYLISH CURVY CELEBRITY OF THE WEEK

Hey curvy girls,
Today I am adding a new post feature called "Best Stylish Curvy Celebrity of The Week." This feature will showcase a weeks worth of outfits from some of our favorite curvy celebrities. At the end of the month you guys will vote who had the best curvy girl style for that month.

Since March is over, we decided to choose Serena Williams for having the best curvy girl style for the month of March. Serena has been showing her softer girlie side with a touch of edginess. What I love about Serena is her spirit. Other blogs talk about how manly and overly muscular she looks and everytime I see pictures of her, she just looks great. I know she deals with her own body issues (didn't know that did you?) but she keeps it moving and her curves are always stylish.

BTW-I love her new doo, it's sexy and chic. One of those hair styles that instantly upgrades anything you wear.
Check out some of her looks during the month of March.

Are you feeling Serena's style?
