New Spring Styles in Plus Sizes


Wow, how gorgeous is this new lace dress available at Curvety.com. It is almost sold out already but I am assured it will be re stocked as soon as possible. They have added a number of other new styles this week, in sizes up to a 34. So it is definitely worth a fresh look, particularly at the dress section!

The Clutch, A Spring Essential


When building your wardrobe for the coming season it is always important to buy some fab accessories that will work as finishing pieces to your look.

No girl can be without a bag to carry her daily necessities, but this daily must have can also be your most daring accessory and really make an outfit work. If you are conscious of wearing too much colour, or being overly brave with the patterns used in your clothes, use your choice of bag to make a statement instead.

This season's must buy bag is the large clutch so if you invest in one special bag this spring, it's the star buy. The general rule of thumb is the bigger, the better, and there is plenty of choice on the high street. A particular favourite of mine is this red patent solid croc clutch, which is detailed with diamantes, and even has a chain shoulder strap which you can add if you get bored of holding on to it. It's also available in tan croc and black.

Flowers for Spring


With Spring definitely in the air it's time to take a closer look at some of the trends of the season, particularly the ones that translate well into plus sizes.

One of my favourite continued trends is the use of pattern, specifically florals, although most patterns go at the moment. From simple sketched sprigs to delicate tea roses, girlish daises, vibrant azaleas and lush, exotic hibiscus - any floral pattern is a definite winner - Although for plus sizes it would be best to avoid all over large prints which can highlight larger areas.

Angular cuts and exaggerated silhouettes lend a modern edge to retro florals. I favour the strong bold prints out like the skirt pictured from Curvety, rather than more cutesy florals.
