PLUS SIZE STYLE: “BOHO BIKER”

The boho style is all about the relaxed and flowing look, while the biker is all about strength, roughness and edge. Seems like two opposite sides of the coin but with the style wit of Erzulliesta Monica, the “boho biker” look is born!

Combining her Erzullie brown maxi pants with a black spaghetti strap top, strap sandals, opaque shades with gold rims, scarf accent for the hair and a basic clutch, this Erzulliesta created a soft yet statement making outfit.

The trick is to get the basics of each style genre and combine them together in a pleasing and balance manner. So, how about you, Erzulliesta? If you can combine two style genres and mix it into one --- what would it be?

Have fun trying it out!

Cheers!

PLUS SIZE MODEL: THE ODDS OF BEING MONICA REYES

Monica Reyes, a 21 year old student entrepreneur / blogger of Prodigy Of The Odds, started attending plus size events, buying Erzullie (from the brown maxi pants down to the cropped top) and became the brand’s personal shopper.

She tried out for The Next Erzullie Icon (TNEI) 2012 search but was not chosen. Now she is back for a 2nd try, would the odds be in her favor this time? Check out her thoughts as a TNEI applicant, an Erzulliesta and her possible future of being an Erzullie Icon.

#1 How is your journey of TNEI 2013, so far? 

Before this, I’ve been judged physically and my capability as a person. I needed a support group and found Erzullie --- they have created a family, which plus size women really need.

I applied for TNEI 2013 because as a plus size advocate, I wanted to show that everyone is beautiful, equal and deserves to be happy. During the go-see, I was able to see women sharing the same sentiments.

When I got accepted --- I was speechless on my bed and thought: can I do it right this time? I didn’t excel last year, but I am thankful for the opportunity and I won’t allow this to go to waste.

#2 What’s your view on being an Erzulliesta? 

For me, an Erzulliesta is a plus size woman who is able to stand up and love herself for who they are, while respecting everyone. I believe that many Erzulliestas can relate to that because many of us have been judged harshly before. But by standing up and respecting others, we remember the fact that we are all beautiful and everyone deserves to be respected.

I believe that I am an Erzulliesta; not only because I buy Erzullie, but also because I believe in that idea of a person. For me, we won’t gain the respect that we deserve, if we do not respect ourselves and others.

#3 What is your thought about being an Erzullie Icon?

Being an Erzullie Icon would be to represent plus size women and make them feel that they are beautiful, could do the same things normal sized women can, be happy and excel in anything they want.

Should I be an Erzullie Icon, I would inspire other Erzulliestas to live a healthier lifestyle in general and my message is: “I’m Monica Reyes, a prodigy of the odds. I’m fat but I’m happy, thanks to my friends, family and Erzullie.”

If I’m not chosen as an Erzullie Icon, I would still continue being an advocate of plus size women. Other than me, Timmy deserve to be an Erzullie Icon because she is a beautiful woman --- inside and out --- and we have the same sentiments and purpose of inspiring other women.

PLUS SIZE TIP: HOW TO MAKE EFFECTIVE RESOLUTIONS

Let’s face it. We have all done it --- making extravagant resolutions for this year and never really pushing through with it. They all look good on paper but life happens, and it starts to get pushed back and we forget them. Another year has passed, we are still the same and we are just left with goals left unattended to.

So how do we make effective resolutions? Here are 3 easy tips!

#1 Break down big resolutions into small ones and make a check list.

Small steps towards a goal are more uplifting and realistic. Although this will depend from one person to another, this step will help you downplay the quest to manageable chunks, giving you less stress and more time to enjoy the process.

#2 Just make one big goal instead of several ones and do Tip #1

You don’t really need 100 resolutions a year because most likely, you won’t be able to push through with all of it. And with that, you might feel like a failure and that’s where the sadness begins. We don’t want that. Just make one big goal this year and focus all of your energy into that. Then, make a list on how to achieve it.

#3 Make resolutions that make you happier

Happiness is one of the greatest driving force of motivation. So make resolutions that will make you happy when you do it. Change can be a little uncomfortable for some, but if you visualize the end product and you feel happy about it, the little sideways of the track will become nothing.
