Back to work: power clothing for the curvy girl
Power suits or clothing, a blast from the 80’s with a 40’s twist are back with an avengance. Americas Shopping The Trend report “While suits have made a comeback from the 80s (all shoulder pads & Dynasty!), this trend goes back a few more decades to the 1940s. Think of a young Joan Crawford, or the softer Bette Davis… all business & streamlined in their dark suits. And nothing beats a pinstripe suit to streamline your own look! Just remember to add a splash of Glam to your suit: short gloves, ladylike wraps, or a fabulous handbag (like Grace Kelly!).”

UK’s Plus-size fashion blogs
First, what is a blog? It is a word we hear a lot without necessarily knowing what a blog is and how it differs from a website. A Blog is an online log or diary or ‘web log’ hence then shortened to Blog. Blogging has evolved over the years and tools such as WordPress have become more sophisticated. Wikepedia writes: a blog has ‘regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. “Blog” can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.’ A blog is different from a website in general as content to a website is not added on a regular basis by different bloggers or posters and users cannot leave comments.
Anna Scholz’s new collection
Anna Scholz designs “curvaceous couture” in sizes 12-28 to help you to celebrate your curves and feel great. In a recent interview in the Telegraph Anna says “The style is sexy, funky and directional, We are not scared of strapless. We offer maxi dresses, cashmere and leather. Our necklines plunge. And we are not worried about showing off curves. Or a big leg. We don’t cut broader for a bigger bottom. We cut to achieve a slimline look rather than a boxy silhouette.” The new collection from Anna Scholz is available at Simply Be and Marisota.
