Discovering Puerto Rico's Plus Size Fashion Scene...

Style & Mode Magazine will cover the Fashion Show

I love going to Fashion Shows and cover them for my blog. I received some wonderful news a while back. The great designer Nelly Trinidad contacted me and told me that she wanted to do a Fashion Show just with Plus Size Models on the Island and that I would be in charge of choosing the models and the collection.It is a dream come true for me because she is a maistream designer and it is not common at all to only use Plus Models in her Fashion Shows.

Girl's Night out event at Ashley Stewart

I had the pleasure to attend the Girls night out event hosted by Ashley Stewart at the Southland mall in Miami. When i first arrived the event was already full of life, lots of laughing and tons of photo taking. I made my way through the entrance and the Lovely Store Manger Cheryl was there to greet me. She pointed me toward the host of the evening Marie Denee from the Curvy Fashionista blog. I am so happy i was able to meet Marie finally, she is a delightful, energetic person. She was giving fashion advice to many of the event attendees.

Domino Dollhouse: Rebel Rebel Collection 2012

What can i say about Domino Dollhouse the clothing speaks for itself s. All of their outfits complement a curvy figure. Such Bold Colors, Beautiful Prints, Retro Fierceness all wrapped in several beautiful packages!

I thought their Dottie Nior collection was BadAss this one tops it! I can't wait to see what else they have in store for us. Below are just a few of my Favorites that i will be purchasing.  

ABOUT THE REBEL REBEL COLLECTION:
Influenced by British punk, girl gangs, and tough cookies everywhere, the Rebel Rebel Collection is an ode to those
brave enough to stand out without apology. Bold colors, striking prints, and loud denim all come together to create
an aesthetic that is ultimately badass, yet completely feminine. The pieces are available in sizes 1X-4X or 14-28 and
the retail prices range from $45.99-$69.99.

Below is the rest of the collection
