One of my favorite past times is curling up on my loveseat with a bottle of wine and a good book. As outgoing and social as I am, for me there is sometimes no better time spent than with self. Like many of you I was introduced to Chastity Garner via her blog and when I read she was publishing her first book I was excited…. until I saw the title and I thought “what is this exactly”.  Is it her blog in a book? If so, I can read that for free. After some research and my interview with her for SKORCH Magazine I found out we were all wrong.

 The Curvy Girls Guide to Style Vol 1 is titled perfectly. It is a beginners or even those with a little experience guide to looking your best. There are two things that makes Chastity’s book worth buying (1) its written by one of us for us.  I don’t know about you but sometimes I just get so sick and tired of people with no clue on how it feels to be plus size telling how I should wear my clothes. The options are practical well the power panty is a bit much but honey it works. (2) its an easy read. I didn’t struggle thru the pages. Her personality comes thru and you feel like her in a conversation. 

In celebration of the release of her book The Curvy Spot is bringing a copy of The Curvy Girls Guide to Style into your home.  Just leave me a comment about your style and how Chasisty can give you a few pointers… A winner will be chosen on July 1st!

Yes that is Toccara Jones modeling for the Evans Summer 2010 collection. I came across this photo shoot when looking for something else Evans related online. Can we say O-M-G! I wonder when Evans will post the pictures on the site. This is a good look for Evans especially after the recent article on Jezebel “The Under-representation Of Black Plus Size Models In Mainstream Fashion“. I know that Evans have Julie Henderson and I love Crystal Renn just like everyone else but can we get others like Christina Mendez, Anansa Sims and Jordan Borgella on more ad campaigns outside of urban plus size clothing.

And yes I want all the pieces..What are you thoughts on this photo campaign?
