Plus sized fashion? What is that even? Is it like a sub-section of fashion for those that don’t fit? For those who burst out at the seams of norm maybe? After gaining weight, I think I subconsciously started believing; “fashion is no longer for you girly”…
Eight of South Africa’s most celebrated designers pulled out all the stops to wow the excited crowds with their interpretation of this year’s Vodacom Durban July theme “The Big Screen” at the Vodacom Durban July Invited Designer showcase presented by LIPSY, LONDON.
So an interesting thing has happened in my cupboard…. someone seems to have replaced my clothes with those of someone who is clearly not my size.
No I didn’t just pick up weight and now nothing fits (believe me I’ve been there) this is something entirely different. My clothes just don’t suit me.
I’ve been battling with weight gain after babies and diagnosis of IBS and also a liver problem, but through it all I’ve been managing to lose weight. Okay so it’s in drips and drabs with a long way to go, but hey I believe slow progress is better than no progress…
On Mother’s day the Fairview Racecourse in Port Elizabeth was host to a fashion extravaganza, when 16 NMMU students were asked to present garments to the theme “Art at the Races”.
Cleo Allison, 19,came out tops with a design inspired by a wrecked sculpture after a tornado, modelled by her sister Amber.
The winning design featured in The Herald LaFemme caught my attention but on closer inspection I realised I knew both the designer and model. In fact I used to be their Sunday School teacher *Insert feeling ancient here* I had no idea how good Cleo was and decided I should interview her for my blog.
So I know this really cool girl who has started a new business Miss Mandy Manicures… and she has agreed to share a DIY with Justellabella readers whoop whoop….here is how to do super funky tuxedo nails as well as tribal nails.
If you have ever seen an outfit post on here you are probably pretty aware of my fondness for Mr Price. I just find them soooo up to date with fashion it’s silly not to pop in every now and again.
I once went to a fashion show the Friday night and noticed the Saturday that Mr Price was stocking pretty similar things, they really have their finger on the pulse.
Their ONLINE STORE is pretty cool too, one of the easiest to navigate and it is updated with shocking regularity…
Tip for tiny feeted people like me, if you can’t find the shoe you want in store-size 3s are sold out first everywhere-you can probably get it online…
These are the ones I’m trying to decide between, they are all under R200 though so maybe if I won the voucher I wouldn’t have to choose. hehehe-prob not
You can though, if you click here WIN,WIN,WIN or on the picture,you stand in line to win a R2500 voucher to Mr Price so you can get your boot on, or your jacket on. . . .
