Domino Dollhouse: Make Out Circus Collection

Phillii — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 01:32:57 +0000

When it comes to stand out clothing, I am typically NOT the curvy girl you will see rocking that trend. I am fan of more classical and timeless pieces that I can wear after the facade as ended. The type of pieces that our Grandmothers’ referred to as “timeless”. Every now and then there comes a designer or brand that not only peeks my interest but sends my heart racing with excitement. Today, I came across that collection – the Make Out Circus Collection offered at Domino Dollhouse. These are definitely not your wear to work options, well that depends on your gig; but they are absolutely worth checking out.

Here are a few of my favorite looks. Notable mention to the Lipsticky skirt in black, it isn’t a part of the Make Out Collection but isn’t it GORGEOUS! All photos courtesty of DominoDollhouse.com.

PMM presents This Is My Body ft Fluvia Lacerda

There is no doubt that Plus Model Magazine is a leading source in the plus size fashion industry. Last week, the magazine’s You Tube channel premiered a campaign video encouraging all of their fellow curvy fashionistas to demand fashion for the curvy girl.

We are asking all of our readers to support Plus Model Magazine by sharing their comments and “liking” the video. There is strength in numbers.

Le Mystere Lingerie ft. Asia Mone’t

Phillii — Sun, 03 Jul 2011 19:47:30 +0000

Remember a couple of weeks ago when fellow blogger Monique from Curves and Chaos started an anspiring petition to plus size retailers to use models that were more like us.. well it seems that although the road is long and the process has a very long way to go, I am proud that every now and then there is a retailer that challenges what is acceptable marketing and pushes the limits.

A few days ago, plus model Asia Mone’t was announced as the new face for Le Mystere’s Captivating Curves full fit collection. Asia is the first plus size model and “G” cup to be featured in the collection.

“Throughout our history, Le Mystere has been known for our fantastic fit and high quality bras,” said Jessica Pfister, the brand’s New York Director. “I think it’s wonderful for everyone to see firsthand just how supportive our bras truly are. Asia looks beautiful, confident, sexy and well-supported in Le Mystere and we are proud to be making a product that does exactly what we say it can. Our product will lift and support you like no other, leaving you feeling like you can take on the world.”

Bennetts Boots USA

Phillii — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 23:23:13 +0000

Over the years I have grown to really love international designers and the work they are putting in to keep curvy fashionistas fabulous. Among my favorites are Australia based City Chic and Carmakoma. Back in February, I had the pleasure of adding another Australian based company to that list – Bennetts Boots. Bennetts Boots are designed for wide calves and they are super sexy! They have about a dozen styles that can take you from casual to night life. And the technology used in their design is definitely impressive. Bennetts Boots offer a full lining that helps prevent sweating and odors; some extra cushioning in the sole to provide added shock resistance and full zippers!

Every year around late summer/early fall, I begin my rigorous search for companies that have designed full boots that are stylish and offer enough stretch for closure or even some strategic placement for an added panel. This year my search will be short. I will be heading over to Bennetts Boots new site, launching specially for its US market during Full Figured Fashion Week in New York City!! If you plan on attending FFFweek this week, be sure to stop by and say hello — I will be assisting the ladies from Bennetts Boots to spread the word.
