PLUS SIZE DESIGNER: ERZULLIE X Q-YORK



I have always been a fan of Q-York, ever since I heard and watched this single, "Yuoy" in Myx. And through our Erzullie Icon, Kat Lopez, we had the opportunity to dress them up. I didn't know that it would go beyond the #WalangMasama music video.

And so, here we are, working with them for a photoshoot. Very excited for this group's upcoming projects. Hair was done by Ken Tort, Make Up by Azaza Rordriguez, Styling by Berna Cuevas and Photography by Aries De Guzman.

PLUS SIZE NEWS: ERZULLIE 2016 CHANGES


We are now gearing up for a whole new year of fierceness. We would like to thank all of you beautiful women for being patient with our hiatus. We really needed that break. And as promised, here are the changes that we are now implementing for Erzullie this 2016.

#1 Online Pop-Up Shop with Credit Card and Paypal options!

We are upgrading our online shop. In the new shopping website, you can now use Credit Cards and Paypal for your purchase. But here's the kicker, the online shop will only be open 3 days a month --- every 15th, 16th and 17th. But don't fret, return and exchange process policy will be 30 days still with easy to contact customer service. More details when the site launches.

#2 Permanently Demi-Couture

We will be focusing on quality over quantity. Each perfect design will just be 8-16 pieces in total --- depending on what we can make.

#3 New Erzullie Showroom Schedule and be part of the VIP list!

To give you better service, the showroom will now only open to the public for specific Erzulliesta events. If you attend to one of our events and opt to be part of the VIP-Erzulliesta list, then you get to set appointments with us.

Cheers!

PLUS SIZE FASHION: 3 THINGS FOR A FRESH STYLE START



It’s the new year, Erzulliesta! And what better way to start it than by giving you the fresh style start that you and your closet deserve? Check out the 3 fierce tips below.



#1 AIM TO WEAR THOSE STATEMENT PIECES YOU RESERVE ONLY FOR THE BEST OCCASIONS.

Every day is an occasion, Erzulliesta. You are a fabulous go-getter that deserves to be celebrated daily! So why not dress up for life with those special pieces in your closet?



#2 DRESS UP FOR LIFE DAILY (AT LEAST MOST DAYS)

One way to perk up a “blah” Monday is to actually dress up. Look at it as a challenge and don’t be one of those women that stare at other women because THOSE women actually dressed up for their life.



#3 FIND THE PERFECT SHADE OF LIPSTICK/YOUR SIGNATURE SCENT OR JUST YOUR MAIN STATEMENT THIS YEAR

Okay. This is too specific and it’s really up to you. After all, this list is not the end all of it. There is something about finding your style signature. Style signature in the sense that “this is your thing”.

If it’s a lipstick --- time to find the perfect shade. This will cut your make up time in half.

If it’s a perfume --- time to find the perfect scent. This will improve your mood every time

If it’s a piece of clothing --- time to find the perfect piece that will translate from one event to another. This will cut your styling decisions in half. More time to actually live your life.

That’s it!

Cheers!
