Plus size models protest at Fashion Week

After being shut out of this years Rosemount Australian Fashion Week, plus size models rallied together to peacefully protest.  The models wore shirts saying things like "We <3 real women" and "I <3 my curves"

Designer Alex Perry was defiant about his right to choose what type of model to use.  "Nobody is going to tell me how to pick models."

And no one should be able to.

Spring Trend: Soft

The 'soft' trend can be used for any article of clothing or accessory.  Try jersey, cashmere, or even silk.  (or even a blend that feels similar, for those of us with a tight budget) 

•  Pair a feathery skirt with a tailored jacket
• An elaborate neckline with a straight mini
• A grounded edgy shoe

Evans is a really great place to find trendy plus size clothes (and even wide shoes) but unfortunately it is in the UK so you have to order online.
