No Limitations on Your Body!!

I always like to share videos that shows plus size women having fun while dancing and showing others that they are not letting their size get in the way of them having fun and doing something they love. Confidence is key and never let your size put limitations on your body. Don't be scared to let your hair down and have a little fun. It also keeps you active and we all need to be a little active. Check out these ladies getting it in!!!!

How to Create the Perfect Photoshoot

I get a lot of messages from women who are plus size models or would like to become a plus size model. Although Size Fabulous does not do anything as far as managing models, I do like to send these fabulous ladies to the right people or provide them with any information I know. Since it can be difficult to become successful as a plus size model, I want to give you a few tips that can help you take the best photos for your portfolio, blog post, website and etc. if you are in charge of your shoot.

• Plan your outfits out in advance. Lay everything out and try things on to make sure all of your items compliment each other and look amazing on your body. Take a picture if you need to remember planned looks, especially if you are shooting more than one look.
• Steam or iron your clothes. There is nothing worse than wrinkle clothes in pictures. If you are taking clothes to a location, it is best to invest in a portable steamer.
• Make-up is up to you, however, if you are going to go full glam and you are a newbie to it get some one who is experienced to help you. If you don't want to go that route a great lipstick will do.
• You hair should be neat. Even if the hair is meant to be a little crazy it should still look well put together.
• LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!!! Your outfit will look best where there is the most natural light. Outside is a great choice, but if you want to do it inside make sure you have proper lighting so your clothing true colors will show.
• Your CAMERA is very important. You should invest in a camera that is capable of high quality/high resolution photos. Also invest in a tripod if you have to take the photos yourself.

As much as we would all like to pay for a bomb photoshoot, a lot of us can't. These tips will help you create your own bomb photos for whatever you need. Now smile for the camera!

My Day in Harlem, NY Part 2

My day in Harlem was great. I met great people, had great food, and did some shopping. I was ready to hit the streets at night and see what fun we could have. First let me say I did not pack accordingly. I packed a ton of skirts and only a few pants and a couple flat shoes, but the pants I packed didn't flow and I hated the flats I brought. So I don't know what I was thinking when I packed them.

Our first thought was to go to a club BUT my friend forgot her i.d. (I don't know how that happen lol). The next thing to do was hit up Time Square. My biggest problem is that it takes me forever to get dressed and out of all the clothes I never like anything. It got a lot colder than I thought it would so I know I needed to wear pants. The pants I brought though was not making the cut. So I opted for what I call a blackout. A blackout is an all black outfit with little color added. The only shoes I liked was my combat boots. So there you have it a thrown together outfit.

As we go to walk out of the hotel, it is pouring. That's right it is raining pretty heavy. That pretty much killed the mood. How could we enjoy walking around NYC holding an umbrella. That killed the night. Instead we got some White Castle (another first for me) and chilled in our room. It didn't take long for me to fall asleep and I was out cold. The next morning it was time to hit the road and it was definitely bittersweet. I was happy to get home to my 3 little ones but I loved Harlem and wanted to stay longer. The drive home was cool and we even stopped at an outlet to check out some stores. Not to mention they had stores like Versace, Tom Ford, and Gucci just to name a few. A girl can dream can't I lol.

Overall the trip was so much fun and I will definitely be back to the city.

 

 

 

Don't worry NYC I will be back!!!!!!!

Sneak Peek at Sonsi's 2013 Costume Shop

I had the privilege to get a sneak peek at Sonsi's Costume Shop for 2013, which will officially launch this Saturday with sizes 12-30. I know Halloween is a couple months away but many people start to look for costumes as early as the end of August. I haven't dressed up much for Halloween since my teenage years and even then I would have to throw things together from my closet since most stores didn't carry costumes in my size or all the cute costumes were sold out by the time I went.

I am learning that to stay on top of the fashion game as well as to get the bomb items,us plus size women want, that online is wear it's at. Although I hate it, I am happy that there are options for us. Since my little ones are old enough to start going trick or treating I am definitely going to join in the festivities of getting a costume.

Sonsi's Costume Shop has every costume you can think of from characters to occupations. I know where I'll be getting my costume from. Here are a few pictures of fabulous costumes they have in the shop.

This year is all about having fun for Halloween so what do you want to dress up as?
