Peter Piper Picked A PEAR of Pickled Peppers

Cant believe I remember that.

With a Pear shaped body your booty definatly grabs the boys attention. Your hips certainly dont lie. I like big butts and I can not lie.

• A little larger than life your hips are bigger than your bust.
• Your usually have a slender neck and shoulders
• You carry most of you weight in your hips, thighs and bottom

To create an amazing balance draw less attention to your hips and bottom, but emphasize your top half.

Shes Got A Body Like An HOURGLASS ...

Thats ticking like a clock (Paramore - Misery Business Album - Riot. Check it out - Music and Fashion do actually go together)

Another beautiful figure is HOURGLASS

• The size of your bust is toughly the same size as youe hips
• Your waist appears to be approzimately 10 inches smaller than you hips and bust
• A proportionately curvy body

Aim to achieve a stylish look with clothes that add extra weight to your frame yet still manages to show off the curve

APPLE Bottom Jeans ...

Boots with the Fur (Not to be confused with T-Pain and Flow Riders own). This all to do with your body shape.

Although Oval this body shape is typically known as APPLE.

• Being apple shape means your bust measuements are larger that your hips.
• You tend to carry more weight around the mid section
• Usually showing slimmer, legs and bottom

Shop for your body by wear something that defines your waist and elongates the upper body.

Below I have chosen a few key pieces to suit your body.

Who Are Ya!

Who Are Ya! Who Are Ya! Who Are Ya! (I thought Id go alomg with the football chant - but I dont think it works in a fashion blog)

Knowing your body shape and what fits and suit your body is important when if comes to fashion. Ladies never feel that you dont fit into a body shape because I know you do.

Take a look at my hints to discovering your body shape.

Vital Statistics

My vital statistics will bring you what you need to wear this summer with the bare essentials. It is important to know what these essential are.

Jeans - skinny, high waisted, boyfriend, cropped, slouch
Trousers - hareem, leggings, jeggings, capri, peg leg, chinos, palazoo, culottes
Dress and Skirts - maxi, body con, mini
Shorts - denim, tailored shots
Blazers and Cardigans - boyfriend, oversized,
Tops - crop tops, sleeves shirts,
Jumpsuits and playsuits

Floral Arrangement

This bright and busy trend goes down well this season. Returning from the 70s floral is bound to hit the runways, highstreet and your wardrobe. Whether your wearing a floral piece in your hair or on your feet a perfect bunch blooms through one key piece.

Personally I dont feel that floral should be overdone. Keep it simple and eye popping. So just let it be that one piece and try not to look like the neighbours garden on a summes day. Too much floral could be off putting.

Bohemian Rhapsody

The newage modern for me draws attention to music (Queen of course lol), art, religion and much more. With regards to famous faces Bohemian reminds me of Florence from Florence and the Machices. The trend includes pieces such as caftans, tunics, tiered peasant skirts, ankle-length embroidered dresses and slim, weathered jeans.

All pieces follow a natural trend with earthy hues, ethnic textures and nature-mimicking prints. Shoes are no exception – footwear such as cotton espadrilles, leather sandals, beaded flats and cowboy boots dominate the look.

The boho look does require a bit of extra work, as a style based on perfected messiness can easily go wrong. What this trend needs is a sense of balance. Pull together your look by layering and mixing colors, patterns and materials while keeping an overall balance in mind.

Retro Spec

This postmodern brings together the 'Old Skool' with the 'Nu Skoool'.



Personally for me being reto means going crazy. Wear a ramge of colours and feeling comfortable. The retro look inspires me to wear a scholl uniform with a twist. Not just a plain white shirt but a checkered shirt. With a bow tie. Brogues or high top trainers. Not forgetting the blazer with a badge or a chunky cardigan.

Gone are the days when a school uniform is un-cool. With a retro touch to your uniform it brings burst of energy to your school life.

Just look at what Will Smith did to his uniform in the Fresh Prince loool : )

Tribal Traits

Tribal Traits looks at African Print a big fav of mine. Being half Ivorian and Ghanian Im in tune with my culture.


Just like the floral arrangement this look should be eye popping. Stick to one key piece. Like those Aldo wegdes with a sexy black dress. Or the Asos African Print Blazer with Jeans and heels totally sexy for a date.

In fact is Gwen Stafani who has created an african inspired line with L.A.M.B. Check it out.

Vibrant Prints

The 70s Show

Vintage looks are also in trend this season. Wether your going back to the 50's, 60s or 70s it is important to get hold of the old clothes that your mothers or grandparents have.



If you prefer something new why not invest in something like a wide brim hat or long flared chiffon. Im sure you'll look like Joan Collims, Elizabeth Taylor.

Shopping

So it turns out that I go shopping every weekend and still claim I have nothing to wear. In my denfense I like to think I dont spend that much money but in the longer run Ive spent thousands on clothes that I dont wear and eventually chuck away. Going through my wardrobe I have counted 9 maxi dresses different styles, designs for different occasions. I also have a number of jumpsuits in fact I bought one today but I havent even worn the one I bought during the Xmas sale.
