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.

photo-15The 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.

Style Diary: Style Code Live – “Military Madness”

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.

“…Fashion is to be played with but only with the right elements…” – Tim Snell

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.

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.

If you haven’t seen it yet, you’ll be very excited to see the very talented and curvy diva Melissa McCarthy on the cover of the November issue of Elle magazine. McCarthy, is one of six covers for Elle’s “Women In Hollywood Issue” also featuring Penelope Cruz, Reese Witherspoon, Marion Cotillard, Shailene Woodley and Naomie Harris.

Melissa follows another Curvy Diva, Adele who was featured on the cover of Vogue in March of 2012. When Adele’s cover hit the stands, many thought she’d been airbrushed and photoshopped to look thinner. Like Adele, Melissa’s cover is sparking some controversy for the opposite, layers of clothing covering her frame in the shot.

As a designer and a celebrity stylist let’s get to the crust of the biscuit. In two years we’ve seen the curvy trend building and that’s worth celebrating!!! To see Melissa, a confident and beautiful curvy actress in a chic sophisticated editorial shot on the cover of one of the largest fashion publications transcends everything.
