My latest piece for Skorch Magazine

UK based label Anna Scholz has been a favorite of mine for years. I’m a huge fan of prints and color but the combination of Anna Scholz’s luxury and ability to create unexpected pieces for curvy women are what set the brand apart. I had a chat with the one and only Anna Scholz about her spring 2012 collection and here’s what she had to say: Click to read interview and view all the images >>

Mint Condition(ing) Fatshion Insider for Skorch Magazine

Wednesday, January 18, 2012 at 3:11 PM

Check out my latest piece for Skorch Magazine! I'm talking pastels...

New Yorkers are known for existing in a constant state of ‘cool’ but I really can’t imagine how it will be possible to walk around without a cheesy smile plastered across one’s face because spring 2012 all about color. And, color makes you happy. From bright saturated hues to pale pastels, I’m sort of convinced that soon cities across the globe will look like one big Skittles commercial, “taste the rainbow”…and I love it!

I’m all about a pop of color so, the bright hues aren’t really anything new to me. However, I’m completely caught up in the whimsy of all of the pastels making their way into nearly every retailer. Over the last few months we’ve even seen pastels pop up in people’s hair (swoon)! Though you may have visions of your grandmother’s Easter suit when you think of dressing in pastel colors (hmm, was that just me?), there are so many really cool modern takes on how to incorporate them into your wardrobe. Imagine how fun color blocking lavenders and mint greens with beige and coral will be.

Below are a few must haves on my list! While you may not dye your hair like the fab Kelly Osbourne below, a great pair of skinny jeans, a chunky sweater, a dress, perhaps even sexy shoes in Cadbury colors are a worthy investment!

Get the look!

Head to Toe

Monday, January 16, 2012 at 9:01 AM

I've been having fun taking a few spring 2012 trends out for a test drive and one that I really love is the head to to print look. Flipping through the February issue of InStyle, I saw this amazing page featuring all over prints from suits to jumpers, separates - YUM.

This weekend when I was thinking about layers to battle the 20 degree temps (and still not quite ready to submit to a floor length bubble coat) I thought...ok, a nice cozy sweater. Then I thought, how can I make this interesting? So I mixed prints as I often do and loved this look. Sort of a tip toe into a full head to to print look. I'm actually really excited to do a head to toe print when I find the right one.

I'm sure some would say that a (curvy, plus size, fat - whatever you identify as) woman wearing head to toe prints is a no-no however, I don't subscribe to conventional rules of what I should and shouldn't wear. Whether you want to try this trend on for size or not, I think it's really important to step outside of your comfort zone and for all of those "I'd never wear this or that" moments, just try it. Be audacious in your fashion choices!
