Kiyonna has continued adding more plus size fall fashion items to their stock… and the new sophisticated clothes are really worth a closer look! These new clothes have a structured look to them, a look which is dominating the fall fashion season, with military inspirations, smart tailoring and organic prints.
There are two items I have my eye on, and cannot seemt to coming to a decision… which one should I get?
I have fallen in love with the Poet Sleeved Faux Wrap Drap Dress. It is beautiul and romantic. Besides, the cut of the dress makes is a curve accentuator, which is exactly something I look out for in all my clothes.
Then there is the Military Wrap Dress in Merlot… I simply adore the color, it’s different and one which is not very common, therefore this dress is definitely made to make anyone who wears it stand out. It’s has an air of sophisticated chic-ness.
Help! I am undecided!
But I am sure I am not alone, anyone who looks at the new Kiyonna additions, is bound to be confused as to what to buy!
When preparing to go out, I often decide beforehand what I’d want to wear. However the times that I actually end up wearing what I had initially decided I’d wear are very very slim! Whilst dressing up, I start thinking that this and the other don’t go together, or these colors don’t match and so on an so forth. Sometimes deciding on what’s best to wear is an ordeal, and it’s even more of a nightmare when it’s an important occassion… like a date!
IGIGI’s lifestyle corner have recently published a very interesting article which gives plus size women style tips and ideas on what best to wear when going on a dinner date. Whether you are a working girl, a shopisticated cat, or an adventurous maven, check this article out as it has a ton of ideas, which will hopefully make your dressing up for a date ritual a more relaxed one!

The contemporary American play Fat Pig has just opened in the Kitchen Dog Theater’s 2006/07 season. Created by Neil LaBute Fat Pig “tries to camouflage its childish delight in shocking the audience’s sensibilities as an attempt to teach us to be less prejudiced -? in this case, against overweight people. Mr. LaBute, though, is really wallowing in the nastiness he portrays, not getting outraged by it.” For more information please visit the Dallas Morning News and also http://www.kitchendogtheater.org.

It looks like more curves are hitting the catwalk around the world. Did you know that currently the Spaniards require that all models on the catwalk during this week of fashion need to have a BMI of more than 18, this measure was set up to prevent drastically underweight models from hitting the runways. Moreover it can also be said that such a measure was triggered following the tragic death of Luisel Ramos last month, who suffered a heart attack after stepping off the catwalk. Luisel had merely been living on fluids.
Although this measure was set up in Spain, major fashion capital such as Paris, would never dream of putting this into action. It’s shocking to think that being skinny and saving on fabrics is more important in some places, than it is to promote a healthy lifestyle and a healthy images to young girls. More on this issue and also an interview with plus size model Charlotte Coyle can be found in an article publised this week in The Telegraph.
