PLUS SIZE POWER: “KNOW WHAT YOU WANT AND YOUR PURPOSE”



Erzullie Icon and Plus Size Model, Loren Monares, gives advice to the new batch of upcoming plus size models in the Philippines. She shares: “Know what you want and your purpose” because for this Erzullie Icon, being a plus size model is also about representing the Plus Size Filipina.

This is a lift from her interview, “Beyond Erzullie”.

Cheers!

PLUS SIZE LIFE: 3 FABULOUS SELF-DATE IDEAS



I think self-dates are important for every woman. Single or not, it’s a time to actually just focus on yourself and what you want. Self dates will actually make you feel powerful and independent knowing that you can be on your own and still find pleasure from it.

Here are 3 ideas that you may want to do on your next self-date!

#1 Visit a new restaurant 



Treat it like an adventure. Get away from the usual restaurants that you have visited and try on a new one! There is a plethora of amazing choices out there in the Metro in almost all price points possible. There is bound to be one that has your self-date venue all over it.

#2 Movie night



Surely there is one movie that you have always wanted to watch but never got to. Whether it is a download, DVD or on the movie theaters, why not watch it on your own and enjoy it all by yourself? Dish out snacks, a comfortable chair and some blankets to make you feel more pampered.

#3 Home Spa



Spa time is me-time as I always say! Taking time to relax and take care of your body is another wonderful way to date yourself.

You can even do it at home. Take a longer bath and treat yourself to your favorite body scrubs, hair treatments and even dish out the expensive bath soap! Decorate your bathroom with small candles and some aromatherapy scents that you love. You can even go all out and put some fresh flowers in there.

PLUS SIZE NEWS: RESORT 2014 LOOKS COLORFUL



Yesterday, we just had a trip at the cloth market for the 2014 collections. As I have mentioned before, I was not entirely sure of the design route that I am going for this Resort 2014. It was either, I take an Erzulliesta to another exotic vacation trip story or honoring the new design aesthetic that I want to experiment in. Little did I know that during clothes shopping, I was able to merge both paths. Way to do a “Kat Lopez”! (Check out her interview: “The Passion Road”. It’s about merging two passions into one.)

During the trip, I kept in mind what you ladies are requesting as well --- more color. Yeah, as the Erzullie designs dwindled, it seems like majority of the colors that we have in the collection now are black, brown and blue. So, as I went through the market, my main guideline was the banning of these colors: black, blue, brown, pink and purple as we have used them dominantly throughout the Erzullie collections for years now.



I wanted to experiment more on other colors of yellow, green, white etc. I think in the majority of it, I stuck with it. There is a little bit of black and blue in there but it’s a different shade. No more navy! Yey!

I am also very happy with the selection of the cloth and the quality of it. We really went through everything and we think that you ladies will love the fact that the cloths are stronger than its predecessors.



So far, that is it. Wish us luck as we start production!

Cheers!
