Tess is the first plus size woman to be signed to a modeling agency, MiLK MODEL MANAGEMENT, she is not your typical plus size standard model, she is a real girl and her body represents a group that for the longest time has been excluded from the fashion world. She had tried out for modeling gigs previously but was told she was too short and too big to model, she didn't give up and scored a few jobs with makeup brand Benefit Cosmetics and even participated in a David LaChapelle photoshoot. She was named one of the world's top plus size models by Refinery 29, Huffington Post, & Vogue Italia. Aside from being a model full time, she is a makeup artist, blogger & activist.<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

My original idea was to go retro with an emerald dress I found in Torrid.com, but when I ordered the dress it was too big on me and the fit was not so great so I had to act quickly and come up with plan B.<br />
<br />
As my main piece I chose "Woman in the Office Dress" from ModCloth.com. This little dress has a pinky/red floral print on a mint background with yellow piping detail, very Summer/Spring. The dress will be light and casual but with the right accessories, wedding appropriate. I picked up some light pink and white jewelry from Forever21, a scarf to use as a coverup and a pair of flats from ModCloth.com.<br />
<br />
Since I am trying to keep it fresh and comfy during the summer, I will put my hair up in a bun and use a light pink bow for a cute girly touch. I will keep my make up simple using earth tones and shades of pink.<br />

Stick to light fabrics, soft colors like pastels and you are golden! I suggest that you also look for outfits that you can throw a light cardigan on for the more modest parts of the wedding and then you can take it off for the not so modest ones ;)<br />
<br />
I choose to go with a long dress from ModCloth.com - ALMOND I EVER WANTED, an etherial floor length dress with a lacy sweetheart bodice and a beige/almond color skirt. For covering up a little, I will use a beige or white pashmina since I could not find a white lacy cropped cardigan or shrug at a reasonable price. To keep the look delicate I chose some accessories from TOP SHOP and Forever 21 that had a similar feel with touches of gold and pearly stones. For shoes, I have some old nude pumps, not too high, that seem perfect to finish it all off.<br />
<br />
I decided to keep the hair simple with a sock bun and my make up light by using the Urban Decay Naked Pallet 3 which has some soft pinks and purple hues (I got mine for Christmas as a gift, but there are many other similar pallets that are less expensive and work just as well) - There are millions of tutorials on youtube showing you some looks using the NAKED 3, a really nice tutorial by one of my favorite youtubers is this one <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvhHsjgpZAc">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvhHsjgpZAc</a> by Cora @ (VINTAGEORTACKY)<br />
<br />
The look is girly, youthful and elegant, but simple:<br />

I'm starting by making a new series called "LOVE FOR PLUS", since I'm finding some pretty nice websites with cute and youthful plus size looks.<br />
<br />
Fashion tends to focus too much on the slim/skinny girls and forgets about the rest of us. I work for a fashion company and I see that all the styles created are only focused on the missy (size 6 - 8) client and the buyers who purchase our looks then choose to buy woman size or plus size customers but when I fit the styles on the plus size model, they are not flattering at all because the styles were not meant for a bigger body like ours. Plus size design focuses on making styles that hide the bits we don't like or takes attention away from them, for most of us that is the midriff area/tummy area and under arms bit that we all love to hate.<br />
<br />
As a plus size girl I understand the difficulties we go through when we need to buy clothes. We find ourselves wanting to wear cute outfits that are trendy and make us look nice and its a struggle to find something we are 100% happy with because most things are unflattering, frumpy, too old or just down right ugly. I have the same problems for a big chunk of my life too until I found TORRID (<a href="http://torrid.com/">TORRID.COM</a>), now my holy grail of clothes. Now, cute and trendy plus size clothes are expensive, which is a down side, but the good thing is that there are always <b>sales*</b> and clearance sections on Torrid, so I tend to watch out for those.<br />
<br />
Recently I also discovered <a href="http://modcloth.com/">ModCloth.com</a>, I will make my first purchase soon, but the great thing about this site is that it has a wide variety of things for us plus girls and reviews are available for each style. Customers also submit their pictures wearing their purchases and the site has a "look book" section for inspiration as well as to see the fit on the other customers that choose to share. So far what I see different than torrid is that ModCloth has yet to get the sizes and proportions just right, but they seem to be working on it. All styles have a vintage feel to them and they are very cute, my advice is just to read the reviews before purchase, they tend to be helpful and customers as well as the site will let you know what is true to fit and what you need to order a size bigger or smaller.<br />
<br />
Other sites worth mentioning are first, <a href="http://forever21.com/">FOREVER21.COM</a> , they have a plus size section, much bigger online than at the store. I purchased one or two things before, but for me it was harder to find things that I liked or fit me well, so I'm not the biggest fan, but still. Secondly, there is <a href="http://simplybe.com/">SIMPLYBE.COM</a>, which is a british shop online, I have never ordered from the site, since its a bit expensive and does not have a ton of variety for my taste, but I have heard some people online reviewing purchases and they seemed to like it.<br />
<br />
SO! Here is the plan. I have some Spring/Summer events coming up for which I need to purchase some clothes and I thought that I could share with you the outfit ideas I have for the events. I may just post the selected outfit including pictures of the clothes, accessories, hair and make up or in some cases I will post multiple outfit ideas for the event and later show you the one I picked. My hope is that these posts will be helpful or inspiring to others.<br />

The Evil Queen, Snow White's step mother, vanishes all fairytale creatures to our world in order to find her happy ending. The show takes place in a little town in Maine called Storybrook, where all the fairy tale characters live but have forgotten who they are and they live normal human lives with struggles that resemble those of their real lives. When Snow White and Prince Charming's daughter, Emma is brought to town by her biological son Henry, things begin to change in town. On the first episode it is revealed that Henry was adopted by Regina Mills, mayor of Storybrook and the evil queen who made it all happen. Henry knows the truth and is desperately seeking to reveal it, but knowing that he is just a kid, it would be too hard to convince regular adults that his story is not just the imagination of a child gone wild. He also knows that his real mother, Emma, is the "savior", the only one who can make things right. Regina is not pleased with Emma's prescience in Storybrook and will use all her "connections" and her power to keep things in her fantasy world as she always wanted them to be, where she is happy and in control of everything and everyone.<br />
Regina Mills/Evil Queen is played by the beautiful and talented actress Lana Parrilla. Parrilla is fit to be queen, she is poised and graceful and she is so good at being bad that you just really hate her character. I love it! Of course, the acting is very important, but the wardrobe! Oh, the wardrobe! I absolutely love what the costume designers and stylists for the show have done. Keeping in sync with the theme of evil, they dress up the queen in dark colors, deep purples, shades of reds and black most of the time, but they give her very elaborate prints and textures that make her look expensive. Accessories are nice statement pieces like big hats, capes, crowns, tall neck pieces/collars and extravagant jewelry. Her Make up is also done up to go with the character's feel: very black false eyelashes, bold berry lip colors and winged eye liner. For her hair she often wears extensions and creative up-dos with pins or feathers, they tend to get creative to match the outfit.<br />
When we see Parrilla as the mayor she is very modern and conservative, but still elegant. Her "everyday" wardrobe mostly consists of neutral colors like gray, black, white and beige most of the time. She wears well tailored suits and fitted dresses that show off her nice figure. I would say most of her wardrobe as mayor is very Calvin Klein-ish. Her make up is a lot more subtle, as she is suppose to blend in to her role as a town official, but her lips are always a variation of red.<br />
<br />
Shows like this make fashion fun on TV, they have very little restrictions when it comes to wardrobe because the storyline allows for it, they can go crazy with what they give us on screen:<br />

America Ferrera has transformed herself in front of our eyes. She started out as an unknown chubby girl with real talent. As usual people just took notice of her appearance before her skills, but she broke through and mad a name for herself just as she was. She was first noticed when she starred in the film "Real Women Have Curves" a coming of age story about a girl who struggles with her self image. After the movie she was casted in other films and on her own TV show "Ugly Betty" an adaptation of a Colombian telenovela. The show was a hit and so was America. </div>

America, like many actresses in Hollywood, changed her image as she grew famous. As many actresses when they hit the big time decided to change her diet and exercise routine to slim down to fit in to the scene. She did however stay healthy, unlike many other actresses. If you look at her, she still has her curves and she remains a down-to-earth gal. I like her attitude and her sense of style. Big girls can take a look at her and get inspiration. She knows her body and knows how to dress in a way that favors her shape and shows off what she's got.</div>

Kat Dennings is known for her roles where she is the girl everyone wants to be: sexy, outspoken and cool. If there was ever a movie about my life, I'd want her to play me. (Not that I even look like her at all, but she would make me seem so cool, haha). She is just a really awesome girl. I love how she is proud of her body. She has a big chest and she dresses up to show what she's got. She is not afraid to accentuate her assets. I feel that Kat is a lot like the roles she picks in real life, so she is able to play the characters effortlessly.</div>

Ginnifer Goodwin is an amazing actress, I think she is underrated. She unfortunately has been type casted for a very long time, always playing the friend who is deeply in love with the handsome guy who is in love with her best friend. She is always the character that is good and the girl next door. I still love her regardless. She has been able to break a bit from that in "Once Upon A Time" as Snow White:<br />

I love that she has some meat on her bones, she is a normal girl, she is not a size 0 or looks like she is starving. I love her for that too. Ginnifer is a very cool stylish chick. She has good taste. She tends to stick to feminine looks, she is very on trend wearing looks that are right off the runway. She has a classic style. I like that she is not afraid to rock some bold looks, she makes them look even better than they did on the runway.<br />

Sally is Jack's love interest. A lovely caring rag doll who is imprisoned by her creator Doctor Finkelstein. She often falls apart and sews herself back together. She is a very interesting character, her costume is really funky:<br />

Wednesday Addams is famously portrayed by Christina Ricci in the movies "<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101272/">The Addams Family</a>" (1991) and "<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106220/">The Addams Family Values</a>" (1993). If you are looking for a more conservative and creepy-er costume, this is your girl. Wednesday is a pale, black haired, grim girl, who like her family, is fascinated with death and gore. She rarely smiles and her idea of fun is trying to find ways to kill her brother Pugsley:<br />

She is a seductive songstress at the "Ink and Paint Club" in Toontown in Los Angeles. In the movie, she is one of the main suspects to have framed her husband Roger. The character was inspired by the classical damsel in distress and popular old hollywood actresses like Veronica Lake. This is a great costume, very simple and sultry that you can have a lot of fun with because she is a cartoon:<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Since Jessica is a cartoon, you can go a bit wild with her make up. Her look cannot be completed without her signature purple eyeshadow, round arched brows and pouty red lips. To make the look dramatic I recommend applying false eyelashes.</td></tr>

Uma Thurman transforms herself into the ex botanical scientist turned Batman and Robin's sexy arch-nemises. Dr. Pamela Isely becomes Poison Ivy after confronting a co-worker who is using her research for another purpose she did not intend, he attacks her and pushes her agains plat poisons and toxins that transform her into a deadly vixen.<br />
<br />
Poison Ivy has really great wardrobe in the movie. Some of the looks are not too complicated to re-create if you have the imagination and time to work on them for your costume:<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Pair a lon sleeve tight green top with a pair of black leather leggings (currently on trend), a pair of Fall high leather boots and long gloves. You can paint the tips of the gloves red to get the same look. Find a wide black belt and decorate the buckle with plastic leafs to complete the look.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> I have always loved Halloween. Choosing a costume, dressing up in unusual ways and doing elaborate make-up are my ideas of good fun. I love it when people are very into it and come up with some creative costumes. At the beginning of my search, I had no idea what I wanted to be. Stores tend to carry popular costumes of the season as well as the classics like witch, cat, zombie, doctor, cowboy, princess and all the usual. I personally prefer a costume you come up with, rather than choosing a generic one that someone else might be wearing at the costume party I'll be attending.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> I love to find inspiration in movies and this year one particular character stood out for me , I absolutely loved Queen Ravenna from <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1735898/">"Snow White and the Huntsman (2012)"</a>, character portrayed by the beautiful and talented Charlize Theron. The movie had a very dark and goth-like feel to it and it made it delivered a very different version to the classic Snow White we grew up with. Ravenna, Snow White's step mother, is a vain woman who wants youth and power. She is as evil as she is elegant and poised. Not only was the role magnificently portrayed by Theron, but the make up and wardrobe elevated the character to a whole new level. The wardrobe included dark colors, amazing textures, feathers and chains. All her outfits were elegant, sophisticated and sexy. Overall, it had an Alexander McQueen look to it.</span></div>

You can feel it with the heat and see it on the streets of NYC with all the cute "tropical" outfits. The streets of New York are full of inspiration, people really try to keep up with fashion around here, its important to them and its fun for me to see what they are wearing.<br />
<br />
Here are some of the most popular looks and items I've seen this week:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPy2xUK89gTwZTNXE48aMH2QnYTqoj0MpgEj8PCGLnkxtWxtus-I-DbVDkqlt4MN715cdfcG0yfHnohtGTAfy6pQCcB6TS4y6WA-Gx9GLSIbKD0RNR9DzZtQ5jFXhLAfaNGWjkCQ1XdMsD/s1600/maxi-dress1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPy2xUK89gTwZTNXE48aMH2QnYTqoj0MpgEj8PCGLnkxtWxtus-I-DbVDkqlt4MN715cdfcG0yfHnohtGTAfy6pQCcB6TS4y6WA-Gx9GLSIbKD0RNR9DzZtQ5jFXhLAfaNGWjkCQ1XdMsD/s320/maxi-dress1.jpg" width="237" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">THE MAXI DRESS</div><div style="text-align: center;">Full lenght or tea lenght, strapless or with straps, this one is everywhere! Paired up with big bags and sunglasses.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj04cIwrStS-QeUQmtn2OWte3QP8dJp8UtPzdtW32inuS5NVOEp3Ky36VXwj1vbD9TcTarHBBOScI-EBu49_SvFCO2ezWs22u-8Enrpj_QI2XrpM1H1yJxB0HQ2kX2HKe0UOxlNsxIr8HPo/s1600/floral+dress.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj04cIwrStS-QeUQmtn2OWte3QP8dJp8UtPzdtW32inuS5NVOEp3Ky36VXwj1vbD9TcTarHBBOScI-EBu49_SvFCO2ezWs22u-8Enrpj_QI2XrpM1H1yJxB0HQ2kX2HKe0UOxlNsxIr8HPo/s320/floral+dress.jpg" width="225" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">THE BELTED DRESS</div><div style="text-align: center;">In bright colors and florals, these cute little dresses are flattering and shape defining, in flowy silky fabrics, cottons and jerseys. You can choose between chunky belts and small thin ones depending on the print or color, your body type and what looks good.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO0krKAqHDUbq6hr8RjWRZpP-BB5MKCeZQ9-SjAdA7n-N1jciZAtDG8f3VSC1ZO-T0IopOdsAfk0HyWv6rwVZ_YJJt86UIBFkhaZX34Kx0EeYPN8V1VVvfXourGtYA-f1l2RypXG3d_fnE/s1600/052609-shorts_big.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="251" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO0krKAqHDUbq6hr8RjWRZpP-BB5MKCeZQ9-SjAdA7n-N1jciZAtDG8f3VSC1ZO-T0IopOdsAfk0HyWv6rwVZ_YJJt86UIBFkhaZX34Kx0EeYPN8V1VVvfXourGtYA-f1l2RypXG3d_fnE/s320/052609-shorts_big.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">THE BERMUDA SHORTS</div><div style="text-align: center;">These seem to keep coming back every summer, not short shorts. These pants are a comfortable lenght for different bodies and shapes. They look pretty good on most people and can be paired with flowy sheer tops with tanks underneath or button down shirts. Pick your look depending on the occasion.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIPHLERAjm68C6x0Ps4rXBOfnztUbV9DzFdOeCZFexEndQZr3vvM_6HTA-pwc3IF_IGe3XaGD88__FajQeu8EB6-RoojLFzp2jX8hQ2EgGTlDrpI4p_VNU0vXOsXQCvROTofqbx08AM3SK/s1600/hot-buy-lucca-couture-safari-romper.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="219" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIPHLERAjm68C6x0Ps4rXBOfnztUbV9DzFdOeCZFexEndQZr3vvM_6HTA-pwc3IF_IGe3XaGD88__FajQeu8EB6-RoojLFzp2jX8hQ2EgGTlDrpI4p_VNU0vXOsXQCvROTofqbx08AM3SK/s320/hot-buy-lucca-couture-safari-romper.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">THE ROMPER</div><div style="text-align: center;">Onesies are back! Really cute! These look great in small prints or solid colors. Most times these define your natural waist, but I've seen a couple with dropped waists. Adorable, great with gladiator style sandals or t-strap sandals.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx8vfWk5cT9s9E6GusicRaxaBC1Yd4gI6Kxp72si2k0kKYFKOfzoqYWsQqOjraX7XxDLRWAbK4zZ5J9vpO6jSmHZFnFaO_b00WmbpcSeBnrOXIwZdJruKbpabeexNcKldP8MRtOyeF7yNU/s1600/juicy-couture-striped-dress-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx8vfWk5cT9s9E6GusicRaxaBC1Yd4gI6Kxp72si2k0kKYFKOfzoqYWsQqOjraX7XxDLRWAbK4zZ5J9vpO6jSmHZFnFaO_b00WmbpcSeBnrOXIwZdJruKbpabeexNcKldP8MRtOyeF7yNU/s320/juicy-couture-striped-dress-1.jpg" width="219" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">STRIPES</div><div style="text-align: center;">Stripes are very summery, usually go hand in hand with the nautical theme of the summer. I love love love nautical stripes! There are many kinds of stripes, you just need to find one that suits your body type. Try diagonal stripes if you are plus size and horizontal if you are a smaller size.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Most outfits I see on the streets of the city have some sort of floral, whether its the print or an applique. Small prints are a great option for most people, the look better with different types of bodies.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.btvision.bt.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/adele.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="238" src="http://www.btvision.bt.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/adele.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> In 2006 she released her album <i>19</i> which featured some amazing songs, including <i>Chasing Pavements</i> and <i>Hometown Glory</i>. Her sound captivated people and I definitely got hooked. The best way to describe her voice is <i>soulful</i>, she sings and she feels it! Un-like many of the "artists" today, she actually sings and she sounds great! I love <i>19</i> and recently she released her second album <i>21</i>, another amazing compilation of songs about love and heartbreak. Her first single <i>Rolling in the Deep</i> and <i>Someone Like You</i> have been playing everywhere for the last couple of months. Adele does not disappoint, she is still going strong and I personally cannot wait until I get the chance to see her live.<br />

I hate when people do that, why do they have to explain that, "<i>so what!</i>" she is not your cookie cut singer, she is extraordinary! To me she seems like she is not self conscious about her body or weight, she's just content with who she is and her success. She is someone I admire and respect, I personally think she is a beautiful woman.<br />
<br />
Her personal style is simple, she often wears black tops or dresses with tights, leggings or skinny jeans and a cardigan, coat or sweater. Sometimes she adds a pop of color and uses big accessories. Adele wears really nice eye make up that shows off her green eyes and a muted lip color. She often has her hair up in a bun or pony tail. Her look is conservative, really sophisticated and elegant. I would love to create a collection inspired by her and her music, create outfits that she would wear, romantic and strong, but with a more youthful twist. She probably wears a lot of black to look slimmer, but I think she can pull off other colors as well as different outfits that will show off her curves. MISSION ADELE!!!<br />

</tbody></table> I'm not a huge hat wearer, but I do love watching the royals rock some funky hats. I admire how brave these women are. Its fashionable and a tradition to wear those types of hats for formal events such as polo games, the Royal Ascot, dinner parties and of course weddings. There was a sea of hats at Westminster Abbey this morning as expected, no one would be caught dead without one. This time around they were a bit more conservative, when it came to colors, but still very bold. <br />

</tbody></table><br />
A lot of people dislike these hats and you know there will be a lot of "royal bashing" in the coming days, probably by "The Fashion Police" and other fashion "authorities" (self proclaimed or legitimate). Lots of people fail to see the art in these pieces. I can't say that I would be brave enough to wear those, but I they are something to be inspired by. The shapes, colors and materials used make these pieces a focal point and I admire the craft put into them by their designers. So much creativity goes into a single piece.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div> There are many hat designers that the Brits go to for these events, but possibly the most famous is Philip Treacy. Treacy has designed hats for fashion houses and designers such as Chanel, Givenchy, Valentino, Ralph Lauren, Donna Karen and, of course, Alexander McQueen. He also designed hats for movies such as Harry Potter and he also designed Sarah Jessica Parker's hat for the premier of Sex and the City. If you saw last season of Project Runway, you might remember the hat challenge where the designers had to pick a hat and design an outfit that went with it. The hats were Philip Treacy's creations, they were extremely bold and interesting.<div><br />

Women want to look like her, companies made replicas of her engagement ring (Diana's ring) and some have even made a "how to" guides on the internet, showing women what to buy to look like her. Its crazy! She truly is a beautiful and sophisticated woman, nothing wrong with wanting to imitate someone like her.<br />
<br />
Today Kate will officially become royalty, and more than ever, she will be in the public eye, everyone in the world will be glued to Westminster Abbey. She has kept her dress choice a secret, everyone is excited and very anxious to see what she will wear. No doubt that after the dress is revealed there will be companies making the replica of the dress to go with the ring and everyone will be "Kate-i-fiyed" for their wedding.<br />
<br />
Everyone is calling this wedding the event of the season and lots of people can't help to compare it to Lady Di's wedding, so the expectations are high. I'm sure Kate won't disappoint, if she does, then "OH WELL!", let the luckiest girl in England have a happy day in the dress of her choice with the man she loves...and a billion other people watching.<br />
<br />
So now...who will snatch Prince Harry? Gotta love those guys! (They really are equally as handsome in person! I got to see those beautiful men at the Queen's Birthday back in 2008 when I was in London, oh redheads...)<br />
<br />
Here are some great looks we have seen from Kate so far:<br />

The big event will be hosted by Vogue's Anna Wintour, actor Colin Firth and designer Stella McCartney. Vogue.com will be posting updates of the event, behind the scenes and other cool stuff. The exhibit will feature pieces from his collections and it being put together by Sarah Burton and Sarah Mower, who worked with McQueen.<br />
<br />
I'm a big fan of Alexander McQueen's work, he had such an amazing imagination. I appreciate his aesthetic, even if its so different form mine, its inspired and unique. I love to look at the shapes, colors and concepts he created. He was definitely one of the best designers of this century.<br />
<br />
The exhibit will be open from May 4 Through July 31, 2011 (Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Exhibition Hall, 2nd Floor).<br />

High waisted, wide-leg pants belted in, bow-blouses with bishop sleeves in silky fabrics, rolled neck sweaters with vests and chunky necklaces over them, hot pants and printed jump suits help you achieve this look. Accessorize with leather bags, belts and boots. Wear a lot of jewelry; rings, necklaces and pendants make a great complete look.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Night looks are all about shimmering fabrics and form fitting outfits. Disco inspired fabrics, ruffles, blazers, tuxedo jackets, wide dress pants, long draped dresses, low necklines and slits will make for a very glamorous night time look. Small bags with long straps are great for these looks and you can add belts to your outfits to get a 70’s vibe. To compliment your outfits add rings with bold stones and neat piles of bangles.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

To modernize these looks try adding sheer tops, blazers, trendy sunglasses, shorter hemlines, leather accents and modern hairstyles.

The film takes us back to the 1930’s when a young man named Jacob (Robert Pattinson) drops out of Cornell, where he is a veterinary student, shortly after his parents die in a car crash. He joins the Benzini Brother’s Circus as their traveling vet, where he meets Marlena (Reese Witherspoon) a beautiful performer and the head trainer’s wife. They fall in love and have to deal with the consequences of her jealous/paranoid schizophrenic husband, August (Christoph Waltz). <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://data.touchpuppet.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/reese-vogue05.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://data.touchpuppet.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/reese-vogue05.jpg" width="141" /></span></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 19.0pt; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I’m very inspired by history when I design. I love classic looks, and since fashion today lacks a lot of the glamour of the olden days, I often find myself trying to incorporate to my designs the elements that made women so elegant back then. When I first saw the trailer for this movie I was drawn to the fact that it is based off a </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">historical novel</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">, Reese Witherspoon looks amazing! So I started to look for pictures of her outfits online and I came across the May 2011 US Vogue, she is on the front cover rockin’ the 1930’s look and there is a beautiful editorial featuring her and an elephant shot by one of my favorite fashion photographers ever, Peter Lindbergh!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 19.0pt; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

Soft feminine styles replaced the flapper look of the 1920’s. Long and elegant gowns, lower necklines, soft gathers and natural waistlines were in style. Movies were very influential during this period, people in the U.S. needed a way to escape the harsh reality of </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">The Great Depression</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> and they looked at the stars of the time to help them do that. Hollywood dictated fashion; movie stars endorsed popular styles and accessories, and were often seen in glamorous evening gowns and furs. Some of the most influential actresses of the period were Carole Lombard, Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Mae West and Jean Harlow.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 19.0pt; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><a href="http://data.touchpuppet.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/reese-vogue01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://data.touchpuppet.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/reese-vogue01.jpg" width="135" /></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> Accessories like brimmed hats, berets and turbans were very popular at the time. Hats were often worn tipped to the side, decorated with netting, feathers, ribbons or brooches. Short hair was fashionable early in the decade, but long curls gradually made a comeback. Perms became popular and knotted hair nets called snoods were seen as well. Rounded toe shoes, thick heels, pumps, flats, ankle strap styles, slip-ons, lace-up shoes, two toned shoes and buckled shoes were all worn. Handbags were available in many styles and customized with the owner’s initials. Undergarments went trough some changes. Before, corsets with boning were widely used, by this time most corsets had no boning and they had evolved into brassieres and girdles with garters. Later in the decade separates were available.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 19.0pt; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><a href="http://data.touchpuppet.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/reese-vogue04.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://data.touchpuppet.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/reese-vogue04.jpg" width="132" /></span></a><a href="http://data.touchpuppet.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/reese-vogue04.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><br />

If you have ever seen Florence + the Machine’s performance or a music video you know that lead singer Florence Welch sticks out! She has an amazing voice and a really cool style. She’s got a mix of styles going on, most days she is very Boho/flowerchild and others she goes into DavidBowie/Glam-Rock. I really like how many risks she takes when it comes to fashion, she is bold, maybe not as bold as, say, Lady Gaga, but still very adventurous.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"><br />

</div>Florence has a <b>rectangle or boyish figure</b>, this means that her bust, waist and hips are pretty similar in width, she has a very straight body. This body type can get away with a lot of things because there is no defined shape. Many women with this shape tend to create more curves with clothes. If you have a similar shape to Florence, try bias cut dresses, any skirt style, halter tops, skinny jeans, trousers with details on the hip area, flowy trousers, tops with ruffles, bows and other embellishments, round high necklines, spaghetti straps, racer back tops, vests, tailored jackets, long tops that end at the hip and belts. Some things that won’t look that great are very straight dresses and tops with dropped waists, big flares like cargo pants, super full and puffy skirts that put you out of proportion, if you have a small chest sweetheart necklines are difficult to pull off, baggy tops and tunics that make your torso look super straight and slouchy jackets that won’t create any curves.<br />
