Spring Full Figured Fab & Flirty Fashion Tips

Spring Full Figured Fab & Flirty Fashion Tips
Although I myself am not a full figured fashionista. I get a lot of inspiration from my mom. So I asked her what she feels is a great full figured fashion tip.
1. This season finally throw away all your elastic waisted jeans, skirts, and capri's.
2. Get fit not by a personal trainer( you'll have plenty of time for that) but by a personal stylist. A good one can show you your true body type (i.e. apple, pear, etc.) so you can dress to flatter you best assets.
3. Be bold with your beauty, color is key, green, orange, fushia, and yellow are amazing bold colors that can add flavor to your figure.
4. When getting dressed, start from the top to the bottom. Shoulders, bust, waist, hips, thighs and feet. Shoulders are a great place to play with detailed necklines to draw attention to all your natural glory (your beautiful face)lol!
5. Confidence is the road map to feeling and looking your best. Don't avoid posh events with lame excuses. Be confident, shop confident it's easy to work the room when you look good.
5. Maintain your glamourus glow drinking lots of water, plenty of sleep and personal pampering get monthly Mani/pedi's for the frugal fashionita, visit your hair stylists for a fun new do and moisturize from head to toe, get a massage.
6.Who cares in your own time, be consious of what you eat, if losing weight is an issue focus on 10lb increments not the lump 20-40 lb. Remeber day by day, week by week, month by month.

Singing the Praises of Spring

Cassie's Attic

I love Spring, living in So Cal the weather is absolutely perfect during this time of year. The birds are chirping and the flowers are blooming and the fashion is booming. I received an email from a fellow fashion blogger www.stylesmith.blogspot.com, where she listed one of my dresses from my etsy store, www.sweetaudrey1203.etsy.com. I was please as it was listed with dresses that I absolutely loved, from Cassie's Attic, The Eves Like Us, Sweet Tangibles, and Ruby Bandicoot, all perfect for a Spring Garden Wedding, Tea Party, or lunch with the girls. Check out all the cute dresses on her site, I love it, I love it, I love it.

E.L.F. Affordable Make up and More

I love this website. OK so the "R" word has got every one a little down, scaling back from the M.A.C. counter, in my case the Target Make up isle, tried M.A.C, don't really get the hype...anyway I love make-up just like the nest girl so several years ago i stumbled upon E.L.F.com eyes lips and face and I love the fact that everything is relatively $1.00, no really, lip gloss, eyeshadow, mineral make up, eyeliner. So I finally received my order and in it I got a waterproof eye pen, Candy Shop lip gloss,Eye Make Up Remover Pads, Duo Eye Shadow Creme,and a trio pack of Lip Shine.
Yeah! log on to their website it's worth it.

Recession, Depression, Tomato, Tomato

I'm over it already! If I keep hearing the word "Recession" I'm gonna scream. Yes it's here but the reality is for me as an entrepreneur and struggling fashion designer I couldn't afford a Prada, Gucci or Dolce & Gabanna handbag or shoes for that matter before the recession. These day's I opt for shopping alternative retail outlets. Etsy.com has amazing independent designers like me who have gain notoriety in the world of craftsmanship and independent design. My favorite is shopping events, I've exhibited at a few, and shopped a few, Shecky's Girl's Night Out is one that I favor. It takes place in Los Angeles. Offering over 350 designers, boutique owners, jewelry, apparel, accessories, and an eclectic mix of unique gift items. Anyway I refuse to let not being able to buy extremely expensive handbags or shoes, or dresses to make me depressed because of the recession, who cares like I said I couldn't afford the stuff anyway, but trust and believe I've managed to be a fabulous frugal fashionita before the "R" word and definitely after. Happy shopping fellow fashion mavens.
