De~clutter your closet…

Time to get it together Girls! If you’re like me, you are the typical busy-busy-busy 20-somethin’ year old who has little to no time to organize her poor room!  Well today I only have time to show you what I did with my scarves which were scattered all over my room with no home to call their own.  So I set my sights on organizing them somewhere that I can easily reach for them.  I had this idea to put them on a hanger with Plastic shower rings (pictured below) around them…. But after a long search I couldn’t find spare ones in my house.

So instead I took a hanger from my closet and took the edge of my scarves and tied a simple loose knot onto the hanger and Viola instant scarve holder! My babies have a home now ^.^

Sorry for the bad quality only had my cell with me at the time..

Once I get some Plastic shower curtain rings i will post a new blog about it  Hope this post gave you an idea on what to do with your fab scarves.

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?
