C Liz Swimwear by Chelymar Roman

POSTED ON JUNE 16, 2012 BY CURVY GIRL ON A BUDGET

C Liz Swimwear

Summer is here and what woman does not like to wear a beautiful bathing suit to go to the beach or lounge around the pool? Today I want to blog about a beautiful line of swimwear created by Chelymar Roman, it is called C Liz Swimwears. Chelymar is 21 years old and is from Caguas, Puerto Rico. She told me that she started experimenting in the Fashion World to see if she could make it, and she sure did also telling me that it has not been an easy task, there have been good times and bad but she has learned so much with each one.

She is in charge of designing the line, promoting and selling it. Chelymar has expanded hiring two seamstresses to help her out with the sewing, because she is studying at the University of Puerto Rico, Humacao and is quite busy. The designer has taken some courses with the renowned designer Lisa Thon. Her mother and aunts are also seamstresses, so it runs in the blood. Recently she created a Plus Size Line and I just loved it.

I love when I meet young talented people from the Island, and I wish her all the luck in the world!!

ASOS Plus size model?

I love Asos Curve, they have fablous trendy clothing for a affordable price.  But when i saw this Beautiful model below posted as a plus size model, i was confused.

Was it a mistake? or is that the size ASOS considers to be plus size?

The plus size model industry has been under attack for years with modeling agencies pushing the taller larger models passed off as plus size instead of using a more realistic looking model for their ad campaigns. I personally believe that the Ad’s should use realistic looking plus size models, i would want to know how the clothing would look on a size 22/24 dare i say someone who is actually shorter….and  not a size 10 model using padding who’s 6 feet tall.. But we all know that won’t happen for a long time. Hopefully one day they will use Plus Size Models like Swak Designs,Moni C etc does.

Which Model Do you identify with? The Asos Curve model or…

The Monif c Model?

Domino Dollhouse: Rebel Rebel Collection 2012

The Domino Dollhouse Rebel Rebel Collection

I am absolutely in love with this collection.  Its a Mix of Vintage Meets Retro! Bold colors and beautiful prints!

Here are my personal favorites that I will be ordering! The Domino Dollhouse team really out did themselves  <3

I especially love this collection because all the pieces can be mixed with your existing wardrobe!

I just want to say the Model’s Looked Fierce, the makeup and hair was fabulous, the collection is amazing and the Photography was excellent!

ABOUT THE REBEL REBEL COLLECTION:
Influenced by British punk, girl gangs, and tough cookies everywhere, the Rebel Rebel Collection is an ode to those
brave enough to stand out without apology. Bold colors, striking prints, and loud denim all come together to create
an aesthetic that is ultimately badass, yet completely feminine. The pieces are available in sizes 1X-4X or 14-28 and
the retail prices range from $45.99-$69.99.

Below is the rest of the collection
