PLUS SIZE NEWS: THE ERZULLIESTA MARCH 2014 (2)

Another fierce week just happened! Here is your recap. For the past issue: The Erzulliesta March 2014 (1).

#1 We open with March as Women’s Month! Time to honor the wonderful ladies of our lives (and even us!).

#2 In relation to that celebration, we commend the women that still works hard even with a broken heart. (Hey, it’s hard you know! But an Erzulliesta has to keep on going) But speaking of broken hearts, when do we quit when the one that we love so much keeps on hurting us? Do we quit or keep quiet? We explore.

#3 The Erzullie in Super Sale Bazaar photos has been released. See more of the fierce plus size fashion and finds. In other news, even though we were not able to have a booth in the Trendsetter’s Bazaar, we still think Erzulliestas will find it cool. (We went there last Saturday and the level of awesomeness was through the roof!)

#4 Erzulliesta Mitch Cagadas shares what she wants the Pinay Curvies to become. Spoiler: It’s a very notable and noble purpose.

#5 Feeling down? Here are 5 ways to feel fierce.

#6 For Erzulliesta Beau Soleil’s last story about her plus size dating life, she gives us the answer to one of the toughest questions in dating --- to text or not to text?

#7 Changes are inevitable as they say --- we are slowly transitioning to a new online store!

#8 Summer is here and the Erzullie Resort 2014 is about to be launched online. So how did it come about and why is it so different from the last?

#9 Erzullie Icon and Plus Size Model, Loren Monares, shares with us how to look “Neat and Ti(e)dy in this plus size style.

PLUS SIZE STYLE: NEAT & TI(E)DY

They say that for a plus size woman, red is very hard to pull off, but then again we are Erzulliestas so we broke that rule. Here is Erzullie Icon and Plus Size Model, Loren Monares, looking “neat & ti(e)dy” in this all Erzullie ensemble! She is wearing the Holiday 2013 tie up top and Holiday 2011 red pants.

The solid colors of each item are amplified in terms of style interest because of its detailing --- the top with its tie-up look and the red pants with its drawstring detail. Both details all meet in the middle creating an interest point for the whole ensemble.

So explore the clash of texture and colors today! You’ll never know what kind of fierce style you’ll end up with.

Cheers!

PLUS SIZE DESIGNER: THE ERZULLIE RESORT 2014 INSPIRATION

We are overwhelmed by the positive response of the Erzulliestas for the first half of the Erzullie Resort 2014 collection. Thank you very much ladies for loving each piece that we have made for you.

So how did the collection come about?

The original thought was to take the Erzulliesta in another exotic and extravagant vacation. But as I have looked at the current stock of clothes that we have, I have just realized that there is a need to break the monotony --- there is so much dark colors!

So for this collection, I needed a new inspiration, a new dimension of fierce --- enter Erzulliesta Monica Reyes (she wasn’t an Icon yet back then) and Azaza Rodriguez. I have looked at them and both of them have this edgy, colorful, street-inspired looks.

The sense of experimentation, possibility and danger kind of inspired me. I know it sounds a little “kooky” but it was that energy that I needed to finally know what direction I needed to take the Resort 2014 collection.

So I just rejected all that we have done in the past and went on pushing forward for the designs for this season. I have changed the color palette, texture and even designs expected from the brand. At first, Berna was nervous that the designs would be too much of a push, but we are glad to know that a lot of Erzulliestas love all of the designs as they shopped by last time.

We will be launching the designs online by the end of March. More announcements to come soon!

Cheers!

PLUS SIZE DATING: TO TEXT OR NOT TO TEXT? THAT'S THE QUESTION! (THE LAWRENCE DILEMMA)

Lawrence and I enjoyed our very first date together. He picked me up after work; we had dinner at a Persian restaurant and had coffee afterwards partnered with a very good and intellectually stimulating conversation – just as how I want my dates to be. After the date, he drove me home and waited for me to get in our house before he drove away. A smile was etched on my face but... wait... Should I text him immediately or should I wait for him or WHAT?!

To hell what he will think. I had a great time and I wouldn’t mind letting him know about it. And so I texted him: “Hey, I had a great time. Ingat on the way home.” And he replied, “Same here. Enjoyed the night. Sa uulitin.” This means he wants a second date, right?

We were constantly sending text messages to each other until I realized that we haven’t set when our next date would be. And so the dilemma --- Should I invite him out?

I sent another text, “Hey, are you free later?” I had an event out of town that day and will be back in Manila in the evening and when he said he was free, he picked up to my office that evening where our service car dropped me. We had another amazing coffee night.

So should you ask him out or should you wait? If you think he is into you and he would want to see you again and you feel the same, why wait for him to ask you out? You can just casually ask him if he is free on this date or if he wants to hang out for coffee.

Lawrence and I still go out up to this date but we haven’t pushed through for a relationship yet because we are both busy and well, we haven’t talked about it yet. But sending that first message and asking him out after our first date has definitely moved things forward for us.
