Dress your curves

Curves with a capital C and S!

Rules:

1. Focus on flattering and smoothing out your curves by playing around with different textures and fabrics.
2. Who the f said we can't wear bright colours...huh!?
3. Girl...if you've got it flaunt it!!!
4. Print it up but in moderation
5. Heels to lengthen those legs
6. Cinch the waist to accentuate your figure 8 and give your body proportions
7. Stripes: horizontal stripes can make you look bigger so try vertical stripes to elongate the bod
8. Accentuate one area at a time...no need to show ass, boobs and hips..keep a little to the imagination.
9. Work with different lengths: from mullet skirts to maxis, cropped trousers to high waisted shorts.

WHAT I WOULD WEAR TO FASHION WEEK...

...YOU DON'T NEED A MASSIVE BUDGET TO LOOK GOOD..OF COURSE IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE X AMOUNT OF SHOES, CLOTHES, BAGS ETC. FROM CELINE AND CO (A GIRL CAN DREAM..ONE DAY) BUT FOR NOW IT JUST NOT REALISTIC..

My general rule for clothes is good quality, shoes and bags must be leather and with jewellery I have sensitive skin so I can only wear the real deal. 

Topshop and ASOS are great places to find affordable versions to designer priced goods. I also love urban outfitters, Office, H&M, monki, zara + gap for everything from bags to shoes.
