Plus size Fashion Spring Boho Chic

Michelle Resendiz – Chicago, IL.

In my quest to find the hottest trends for all my Plus Size Beauties out there, I always come across some sweet looking dresses. I usually have to really pick through them, because that seems to be a theme with me in the Spring and Summer months. DRESSES DRESSES DRESSES! Think about it… it’s beautiful outside, the wind is blowing, and wearing a comfortable flowing dress sounds just perfect doesn’t it? SO, here are some more spring and summer dresses for all my Boho Chic Babies out there.

This batwing boho is perfect for warm weather, and look how great it looks with some nude or bone colored heels! I love this dress. I would pair this with a cropped jean jacket, ‘Smooth Sailing’ nail polish by Essie, and some bone colored flats…. IN LOVE!

I’m a sucker for prints. Anything Aztec, stripes, polka dots… you name it Michelle loves it. Sometimes, however, prints are not the most flattering of things for a big girl to wear. Finding the right kind of print is the hardest thing to do. Here’s some simple tricks that I can teach you.

• Opt for something a little more form-fitting and not so ‘hangy’! It’s true, and I know that it sounds backwards but it’s not. If you get into a dress that’s too big and just hangs off of you, you are going to look like you are in a potato sack. I’m sure that not the look you are going for!
• Show a little skin! There is nothing sexier than a girl who loves herself, and her body. Be proud of who you are, and wear what God gave you with pride! This dress, I particularly love, because it’s a nice off the shoulder dress… and showing a little shoulder is very sexy ladies!
• Do it with a belt! Belts around the mid section aren’t the easiest thing to pull off ,but if you can it’s a little known secret that it shrinks your mid section. Belts show off your waist, and even if it’s not the smallest area it gives the illusion that it is.

I love this color, but this dress is available online in many others you might like better! Check it out at Jessica London. In fact, all of these dresses are all found at Jessica London…

Fashion Spotlight What is a Bombshell

Michelle Resendiz – Chicago, Il.

What’s a Bombshell? What is YOUR definition? According to the internet if you look up the word this is what you get…

Bomb·shell
(bmshl)

n.

1. An explosive bomb.

2. One that is sensationally shocking, surprising, or amazing.

3. One who is very attractive.

Here’s some little fashion blurbs for our ‘bombshell readers.’ We have plus size fans, we have hair fans, we have nail art fans… we have it all! So, we decided to make a little Bombshell blurb for you guys, cause we love you.

 

Get this vintage hair look with a few simple steps perfect for the plus size bombshell!
~ Create a defined side parting.
~ Using a large barrel tong or wand, make sure to curl hair inwards towards the face.
~ Then clip in place using flat, setting clips.
~ Leave to cool {set} for 15 minutes then gently brush so the curls ‘blend together’. I realize it seems weird brushing out all your hard work but the curls will spring up and look so much prettier and softer than they do as individual curls.
~ If you want to achieve curls higher up your head, around your forehead, curl smaller sections towards the front. You can also mold the hair into curls and use setting clips to hold the dip of the curl. Then add a light dusting of hair spray and you’re ready to go work those vintage waves!

This Plus size Bombshell showcases her ‘Pop of color’ Clutch purse with her flirty dress. That’s a total bombshell move.

Look at these Aztec inspired Bombshell lookin’ nails! I’m going to do a little tutorial on this for you… I did mine in different colors but you get the just right?

Step one: Apply a base-coat. I like NAILS INC's Caviar Basecoat

Step Two: Apply 2 coats of your favorite nail polish. I like OPI Red Flecker

Step Three: After waiting for that to dry a minute take your smaller nail art colors, and draw lines in multiple locations on your nail.

Step Four: Make sure you wait a little longer for this part to dry, then add your top coat. I like NAILS INC'S Caviar topcoat.

Finished Product! Aztec Nails!

When I think of spring I think of that lighten up moment that you have… you know the one I’m talking about? When you’re having that conversation with a friend and you say “C’mon lighten up… Life is too short, you’ve gotta live a little”. That’s basically what spring is. It’s time to lighten up, live a little, and re-collect ourselves. I’m going to start some spring cleaning next week, but this week I’ve changed my nails and my outlook. I think that one of the trends this spring is going to be pastel’s, and I’m sure you are going to start seeing them everywhere. I also can see a sparkle trend this spring as well… so stay tuned for that!

Here’s a list of awesome nail art, and some awesome pastel & light colors for spring. If you like any of these and want me to try to do a tutorial on them for you let me know! Just comment down below

Colorful pants trend

Michelle Resendiz – Chicago, IL.

Big, Bold, and Beautiful colors this warm weather season! It’s time to buy your ticket on the color train ladies because it’s all about color this spring and summer. I’ve taken the time out of shopping for all of you, and compiled a list of where we can all buy these amazing shades.
From a size ‘small’ to a size ‘plus’ we all deserve to look fantastic this happy & hot season. So, take a look at what I found… and where you can get it!

Plus ladies do you like the color trend? You can look good in color too! These two very different shades are available in Plus-size at Macy’s. Below, this bright bold Tomato Red can be found at Old Navy, and this beautiful coral at Lane Bryant.

For our little ladies we’ve found some awesome colored bottoms for you too! It looks like you have a ton of places that you can shop for traditional sizes, so that means I was able to look for the bargain’s for you too! Do you love these tangerine colored babies from Forever21? At $15.50 they were a steal! Also, these beautiful floral pants are totally irresistible and for $14.95 I would have picked those up in a heartbeat. Along with these blue skinny’s for $12.95, both from H&M, it’s hard to say no to great deals and great looks.
