BODY TYPE SERIES: TAMING YOUR TEMPTING THIGHS, WHILE SHOWING THEM

November 22, 2011
10:40 PM

PHOTO FROM: thelingerieaddict.tumblr.com

A lot of my clients, being plus size women, have big thighs. But how big is big? Honestly, if you think you have big thighs, someone will always have bigger, and although you may have bigger than others, there is absolutely NO STANDARD that will tell you when your thighs are considered big. If this is our premise, you will always end up somewhere in the middle.

(Come on... you are not the only woman in the planet! @_@ There are even undiscovered life forms out there, that I may think have thighs!)

However, you can determine it, but not against comparing it to others, but to the rest of your body parts.

So get a full body mirror and look at it and see it with all honesty. Are your thighs the biggest part of your body? If it is not, then it's not. Leave it at that.

Now if you are one of the ladies that has been blessed with curvy Rhiannas (thighs) then read on! This will definitely help you! ^^

What you are really scared of...Now, I am not saying that just because you do not want to show your Rhiannas you are not confident. I have recently learned that from one of my FB encounters. There may be times that you just don't like to show your thighs because it's not your style. I can dig that.

However, for the ladies that do want to show some skin, but is afraid to do so... I just want to offer a piece of love note to you... Handling a lot of plus size clients, I think what you are ultimately afraid of is not the size of your thighs per se but 2 things:

1. your cellulite showing

2. how unproportional your body is because of your thighs

Fear not, however! There are ways that you can actually wear something short and work with your unique features (cellulite and Rhianna proportions).

You just have to choose the right length, style and color.

The length should just be enough to cover the areas that you want to hide.

The style should be the one that amps up the volume on your hips and contours your thighs.

The color should be in the dark side to help you minimize it.

Let's apply this to Erzullie Icon, Marian Beltran.

The Skirt

Marian actually has big thighs. Although she is a box shape (her shoulders, boobs, tummy, hips and thighs are all of the same proportions), it is undeniable that she is curvy and of course, like all women (even me), have cellulite. However check out this photo of her, sporting a short skirt.

OUR VERY POPULAR COLORED GATHERED AT THE CENTER SKIRT...
P.S. This photo was not majorly edited. I only changed the background to white and added the words on it, other than that... nada. I don't edit my Icon's body or face. I want to show that we really don't need photoshop to look amazeballs. We just have to believe we do look hot.

How come it looks so good on her? You may ask?

1. The skirt was the right length. It was not too short to the point that her cellulites would be showing.

2. The skirt was the right shape. The shape of the skirt was a half coconut. (big opening at the bottom of the skirt but not bigger than the garter of it) This shape of the skirt created fuller hips and thus, making the thighs look smaller.

3. The skirt was of the right color. Although it is the color purple, it is still on the dark side. Thus, the minimizing effect and less attention.

The Shorts

THE ICONIC BRA PHOTO

I know that I have been showing this photo a lot but it's a great example. You can actually see the minimization of the hips and thighs area. Let's apply the theory:

1. The length of the shorts. Again, just right to cover the problem areas


2. Shape of the shorts. It's again half coconut. It has detailing on the hips area, which adds a little more volume. The style of the shorts actually curves the thighs both taming them and curving them nicely.

3. Color of the shorts. Yes, it's in dark color. Thus, minimizing that area.

Do it for yourself!


So to apply this to yourself, should you want to shop for skirts and shorts that is above your knees in length. Try them on and look at yourself. Remember LSC! (Length-Shape-Color).

Cheers!

ERZULLIEFIED! THE SOFT OUTERWEAR

SEPTEMBER 26, 2011

Last week was such a jam packed week. We had a commercial and a bazaar at the same time. Although it was tiring, it was definitely a lot of fun. 

I think napagod lang talaga ako kakatawa with the Icons, Marian Beltran, Jhaki David and Khriselda Guarin. (I just got tired laughing so hard with the Icons, Marian Beltran, Jhaki David and Khriselda Guarin.) Honestly, the jokes kept on rolling, we were almost late in our schedule! Hehehe.

At the bazaar, well it's the same thing, aside from catering to our customers, I also had a laugh trip with the sexy ladies of Rome (Christine and Jezl), 1/2 of my favorite down to earth bazaar neighbor, Peace, Love and Fashion, Ingrid, the one and only Diana of Flattering Tops and of course, my new friend, Acha of Pirouette!

Anyway, this monday, Berna and I had a meeting in our favorite place, Figaro. I actually wanted to wear something soft, comfortable and a little warm because of the weather. So I wore a golden brown chaleco shawl from the Holiday 2011 collection.

To be honest, this type of outerwear is not really great on me because it actually make me loose my natural shape. So I made a little "fashion cheat!" I took a thin belt and cinched my outerwear in the middle, creating some ruffles for my south bound. This actually thickened my hips more so that it can jive with the rest of my body.

So girls, if you love a specific outerwear and it seems like it's not working on your body, maging matigas ang ulo! (Be stubborn!) Find ways to make it work for you! Tee-hee!

ERZULLIFIED! THE BEACH STAPLES

SEPTEMBER 12, 2011
12:21 PM

COPYRIGHT ERZULLIE 2011

Me and Berna were out of the Metro last weekend. We went to Dakak Beach Resort and it was such a nice trip. The Beach is great and we felt very relaxed as there were only a few  people there (probably because it's off season). Nevertheless, we loved every part of it. 


The vacation actually gave us inspirations on what outfits to pack for a perfect beach day. (We know it's the holidays but, I blog this as I go! Lol) So here are some of the staples (aside from beach wear) that you may want to bring with you.

The Trusty Shorts







It's the beach and it's hot! Nothing beats wearing shorts and a nice top! But how short is too short? Technically, it depends on the confidence level. If you want to go all out... just wear a belt --- I mean go as short as you like! Lol.

However, a nice guide would be to use your hand. Open your hand and straighten the fingers. Make sure that your fingers are close together and then place it above your knee, while standing up. Usually where your thumb ends, that is where your short should begin. Any longer and it's already considered as a pedal pusher. Any shorter, well I'll allow the curvista confidence to decide.

A nice example would be this Erzullie Resort 2011 shorts!

The Flowing Maxi Pants
Maxi pants are great for the beach because of its' flow mainly. Nothing says relaxation than a comfortable pair of pants. Ditch the denim, and maximize the beach experience by wearing maxi pants that are cool to the skin and soft to the touch! 

The Maxi Dress

 

And of course, your beach night will usually end with a fabulous dinner at either the hotel cafe or the restaurant by the beach. The Maxi dress is great in bringing fabulosity  and sophistication. Choose maxi dresses that flows nicely, is light and also stretchable. Remember! Beach wear should be comfort wear. After all, you are taking a vacation. You are supposed to chill and relax... not feel restrained!

The Loose Top

It's a vacation. It's time to let loose. Wear tops that gives you room to breathe. Reveal a little skin with a use of some cut-outs OR just pick a generally loose top.



Final Love Note

And so, these are my recommended staples for your nice beach vacation! Remember though that these are just tips and suggestions and not your ultimate guide. You are always your own best stylist! Know your body and what works great for you.

Cheers!
