I am humbled by the success of my Timothy Snell Swimwear Collection with Always For Me. In Style Magazine has just named the (name of suit) as the #1 best zip up to buy! It was my goal to create sexy and chic swimwear inspiring curvy ladies to strut from the beach to cocktails with confidence.

Always For Me Timothy Snell Collection “Best Of”

Creating swimwear that makes a woman feel confident in her own skin was a top priority for Snell. “It’s about the fit and exposing what you’re comfortable showing. When a swimsuit fits and looks amazing, it eliminates any hesitation.” Snell continues “Rule of thumb: To feel confident in your choices, look for cuts that accent your best assets.”

It’s 2017 Curvy ladies and I wish you all the best for this new year! I have many style surprises in store for you and will keep you posted as they unfold!

I’ve been working with the brand Lafayette 148 for a long time and it’s no secret I appreciate their sophisticated and modern silhouettes. Recently, they featured an interview about my work in curvy fashion, my favorite fashion picks from their 2017 collection and what the future holds for Curvy fashion.

Lafayette 148: What is the biggest challenge for styling curvy women?

The biggest challenge is a lack of amazing products. It has become 1,000% better, but there is such a long way to go. For example, the shopping experience is dismal; more retailers need to put forth more effort in creating an experience. Through clothing presentation, lighting, visuals, music etc – create a hip factor. 

Spiraling Jacquard Reversible Geometric Darby Jacket

This fashionable jacket is like wearing art, and on top of it – it’s reversible. You have not one but two options when wearing this look – over an evening gown for the holidays or over jeans and a t-shirt, or blouse for the daytime.

The fashion editor in me always finds inspiration from my favorite magazines and this feature is an example. I found it in the pages of the September issue of InStyle. It’s one of those little touches that can give last season’s wardrobe a quick update and it works for every body type.

Michael Kors features the look in his latest collection:

A great tip for curvy ladies:

Purchase a men’s dress shirt with french cuffs and have your local cleaners fit it to your body. Wear the cuffs down with or without cuff links.

 

The Chunky Heel: The Season’s Latest Shoe Trend

The TREND to indulge in is the chunky heel. For those of you who don’t necessarily like to wear a skinny heel, the chunky heel is a sturdier but sexy alternative. In a sophisticated nuetral or with stylized details there are plenty of options from expensive to inexpensive.

The Camo look is a fashion classic and the way you rock the look keeps it on trend. The folks at Style Code Live invited me to come by and talk about key items to make the trend contemporary and chic.

Look #1 – The Military Jacket + Black Dress + Stacked Bootie + Vintage Pins

The drawstring creates an hourglass silhoutte that accentuates the waist and brings a feminine look to an otherwise masculine jacket. The chunky heeled bootie works for women who may not want to wear a skinnier heel.

Suede Lace back bootie

Look #2 – The Camo Capelet + White Tunic + Slouched Pant + Suede Heel

The Capelet is a huge trend shown here in a camo print. It can be worn with a crisp white button down shirt, tunic, turtle neck, tee shirt or contrasting camo print. The Slouched pant brings an urban feel to the look accented with the sophistication of a suede heel. Don’t just wear the military look during the day, wear it in the evening as well.

Look #3 –  The Bomber Jacket + Tee + Pleated Skirt + Bootie

The Bomber jacket is a military classic and this outfit feminizes what would normally be a masculine piece. Many curvy women prefer the look of an a-line skirt and the placement of these pleats flatter every body type. The Southwestern bootie trend is back and this pair completes a flattering monochromatic look with a pop of color at the top.

 

Timothy Snell, Guest Designer @ Torrid: The Fall 2015 Denim Collection

I had so much fun visiting the corporate offices at Torrid to check out their new Denim collection for Winter 2015 and connect with my fans during a style Q+A on Facebook. 

Torrid is a “go to” brand for curvy ladies to find quality denim designed to fit their curves. This was my opportunity to meet the team behind the fit, the style and the quality of the hugely popular denim line.

The reason behind the great fit of the Torrid jean is the painstaking effort of the design and production teams to address the needs of the curvy body with style.

By the end of the day I had thoroughly enjoyed myself with the gracious staff, connected with the fans and took a “Torrid Selfie” against their wall.

I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Anna Quintana for the online fashion magazine StyleBlazer . We spoke about styling my celebrity clients, my expertise in the curvy/plus-size market and the upcoming launch of my new show “Curve Appeal”.

I have a curvy sister and she has curvy friends,” Snell said. “When I would shop with her I would get so disgusted and upset. If you walk through department stores, you probably see 2,000 different collections for different designers and then you go upstairs and its dismal in the plus size department.

First thing you need to learn your body. Learn your body, and when you shop, shop for the largest part of your body, so that particular garment will hang with ease in that area, and then you tailor back everything else to fit you properly.

Shapely Curves: Style Secrets From The Queen Latifah Show

A great look always begins with the perfect foundation, that’s the key to a seamless style.

Recently, I appeared on The Queen Latifah Show’s “Style Secrets” segment to talk about just how important shapers can be. The segment was a huge success and I had the pleasure of creating three makeovers with Queen Latifah’s fans.

 

(“Before”)

(“After”)

Remember the (3) three S’s: Shape, Slim and Smooth when you are choosing a shaper and it should never hurt you. Another great tip is wearing a shaper when you’re shopping for new looks, trust me it will change your experience entirely. Shapers are a relatively inexpensive garment that compliments everything.
