Vanessa Reece (site: asos.com) is a 35 year old, single mother who is also a professional plus size, full figured model and professional make-up artist.
She spends her days working for ASOS Curve in London as primary Fit Model for their ASOS Curve range, and working as a make-up artist in Warwickshire, doing makovers for print, bridal and special events as well as visiting ladies in their own homes to deliver relaxing beauty consultations.
Besides spending her time as a model and make-up artist, Vanessa Reece (site: asos.com) is also lucky enough to have released her first eBook – How to Become a Professional Plus-Size Pin-up Model.
The book sold well, but due to a huge amount of work commitments, the book was withdrawn in order to be revised, and to be expanded in areas that featuring information on marketing and business.
The new revised edition will now be available in 2011.
Furthermore, in her spare time, Vanessa Reece also is a fashion and beauty blogger.
Her blog can be found at VanessaReece.com, where she delves into a variety of fashion and beauty topics.
The ASOS Curve range (site: asos.com) has a gorgeous range of clothes that are specifically tailored for curvier women.
There is even a fan page on Facebook that supports the ASOS Curve range.
The range has about 135 items in it, and prices reach about £100.
Sizes available in the range are from 20 to 26.
I think the problem with some curvy women is that they are too self-conscious about their curves.
This means they attempt to cover them up with loose-fitting clothes, and always wear dark and dull colours.
The more of an effort these women make to try and cover up their curves, the more they draw negative attention to them (as these clothes make them appear larger than they actually are).
Take a leaf out of Vanessa Reece’s book, and embrace your curves this summer.
Wear as bright as a colour you dare, and choose clothes that hug your curves, rather than trying to hide them.
This Painted Tulip bandeau dress from the ASOS Curve range (site: asos.com) is perfect for a little pick me up this summer.
This is priced at £38.
The abstract colours are bright and cheerful, and the tulip shaped bottom is very flattering on curvy thighs.
The bandeau style also provides some support for larger chests.
This is available in sizes 20 to 26.
