Hello LaPazions, here is part two of our “Understanding Your Body-type.” We want to celebrate all body-types so we’re going to take each one step-by-step and give you a few pointers that will help you out when, you start building or revamping your wardrobe.

Apple Shape=You have no defined waistline, weight tends to form on the stomach or mid-section. Many ladies think this is only a plus issue but, that isn’t the case and there are several celebs that share this particular body-type:Celebs with Apple ShapesHonestly, the apple shaped body-type isn’t the easiest shape to dress. Many make the mistake to cover-cover, layer and wear very lose fitting garments which; in many instances only makes for a heavier appearance and gives no definition to your body-shape.

Let’s get into a few tricks that can help you when dressing your apple-body shape. You want to create the illusion of having a defined waistline- You’ll want to wear clothes in a way that makes your mid-section narrower. This will help you achieve a proportional body shape and visually take 10 pounds off your figure.

Belts: You should think about adding a great belt to your wardrobe. Dark colored wide belts that have a little detail to them but, remember if you are very full and heavy around the waist, a wide belt made out of stretch material is recommended.

Dresses & Tops: That skim past over your midsection but; nip right below your bust such as: empire, long tops, tunic shirts- lift your chest and make your waist look trimmer.

Shapewear: Ladies this area is very important because, you want to give definition and trick the eye- You should really invest in a good waist cinchers, believe it or not this investment will do the trick in an instant,  giving you the well defined waistline and reshaping- Purchase a very good push-up bra that will lift and raise your bust and give the separation and elongate your body-shape.

Jackets: Preferably hip-length to skim past your mid-section and balance out your frame. Buttons should be below the bust to trim your waist. Also, nipped waist, V-shaped lapels, and a V-neckline look best on you.
Also make sure that your jackets are single-breasted. Too much details such as double breasts accentuate your midsection and will make you look bulky.

These are just a few simple tips and if you’d like more information regarding how to dress your “Apple” shaped body-type.

Hello LaPazions, I guess many of you are wondering why we started with this particular body-type? It’s very simple, with the new craze of the ample and fuller bottom and, the celebration of all things bootylicious seems to be a great place to start to get a good understanding of how to dress this particular body-shape.

Pear Shape= Widest part of your body is below the waist around your hips and bottom- You can be small, short, full-figured or thin, but, if your hips are wider than your shoulders you are a pear-shape:PearLadies don’t be upset because you just happen to be in good company with some of the most fabulous celebrities that are also pear-shaped; from Jennifer Lopez, Nicki Minaj, BeyoncĂ© to Kelly Clarkson to just name a few:Celebs with Pear ShapesNow let’s get into the meat of this article what are the tricks in dressing this particular body-type? You want to elongate your figure to draw attention away from the heaviest part of your body aka your hips and butt We have to balance your hips and shoulders while celebrating your curves-We want to draw eyes upwards.

You should think about wearing things that are darker and more slimming on the bottom i.e. dark jeans, pants, dark knee-length pencil skirts (P.S. I’m not telling you-you are doomed to a life of all black and boringness). You need to remember to just wear solid colors and fantastic tops that bring attention to your face Next tip your tops shouldn’t end at your hips because, it will make you look heavier.

Jackets: are your friend-Why? They have a fabulous structure and silhouette, your jackets you choose should end past your hips-not at your hips.

Tunic tops and Dresses: will bring attention upwards-don’t wear any that are too tight or cling to your stomach or hips. One thing about this style is it will accentuate your arms, upper body and will make you look leaner. 

Cold Shoulder Tops: this will look great and give a little sexy. These tops show off one of the sexiest areas on a woman’s body and most women can rock this look. These tops immediately draws attention upward and are very eye-catching.

These are just a few simple tips in dressing this particular body-type and how to look fabulous at all times no matter what you’re wearing.

NYFW: Vera Wang Only Bridal?

LaPazions, I must be totally honest with you all; I’m only here at Vera Wang because, my niece is a huge fan of this Designer and because she is fighting to beat Leukemia. I thought I’d cover this show exclusively for Elly (Please click on her picture to donate and support us in helping to find a cure for blood cancer and Leukemia):TeamEllyAs I sit here getting ready to see what is going to be presented, I am a little worried and nerves because, the last 4 seasons haven’t been that great, so I am hoping this season will usher in a new and vibrant Vera Wang. The first look comes onto the runway and my heart slightly sinks into my feet.. I’m really not sure what direction or feel Vera is going with but, I can honestly say its definitely not what I was hoping to see:VW1VW2VW3VW4

I am praying this isn’t what the full collection looks like. I love the shoes that are being featured on the models with the collection but, I don’t really feel they match or feel right with each piece that comes onto the runway.. With that being stated, I’d love to have a pair in my collection though:Shoes

Thank goodness a few really cute pieces came out and I thought seriously Vera Wang’s ready-to-wear just isn’t that ready to wear.. I’d love to see her put more definition and cohesion into the collection and give us some color (technically she gave us a bang of orange). I’d like to see something that looks more like what we’ve come to know and love with Vera Wang bridal for the ready-to-wear:VW5VW6VW14VW15VW16VW19

We cannot wait to hear your feedback and thought regarding this seasons collection.

NYFW: Badley Mischka Step Back for Spring-2016

Happy fabulous fashion week LaPazions, I am so excited sitting here with our Editor-in-Chief, Sonya LaRae getting ready to take in one of my favorite Designers. I feel the adrenaline rushing through my vein's like a child who has had one too many pieces of chocolate..

It’s show-time the lights dim and the music comes up and the first look is out on the runway and I’m like this is really pretty and very feminine, which I’m loving and I look over at Sonya LaRae and she is like on the edge of her seat taking in every element of the garments coming down the runway.. I love that they are giving reference to more of a 50’s style and fabrics. I am going to give you a little tease of what we’re seeing:BM1BM2BM3I love the clean lines of the 50’s and Badley Mischka captured it but, brought it forward to be very modern, which gave air to a true feel of what women today would love to wear and look like. Something else that made this collection pop-was how they kept the hair and makeup simple with a bold lips; much like women in my mom’s era would rock. I could see myself wearing several pieces from this collection that celebrates everything about being a woman and understanding the contouring of the female form (body-shape):BM8BM9BM12BM16Per the Designers they are giving us a visual and feeling of Buenos Aires 1950’s- Raw elegance and luxury was in that time and women dressed for dinner, cocktails or brunches. I’m totally in love with every look that has been presented from the delicate eyelet, lace, beading, sequence, floral and taffeta very amazing:Enter the text that you want to check for grammar, spelling, and punctuation mistakes; then click the grey button below.BM14BM15BM17BM19I truly loved being in attendance for todays runway show and Sonya LaRae said it best “Absolutely Stunning and beyond Breathtaking!” Congratulations for such a fabulous season I take my hat off and applaud Mark Badley and James Mischka.

NYFW-Christian Siriano Dreams of Morocco-Spring 2016

Hello LaPazions, I know we’re just a little behind on bringing you all our coverage but, don’t worry we will get everything up on the site for you promise. We’re here at the Christian Siriano Spring 2016 runway show and I’m looking forward to seeing what’s going to be offered by this very fashion forward Designer.  This seasons collection is about the “dream” of visiting Morocco per Siriano so, I’m very interested to see what his dream of Morocco looks like.

I see several stars are in attendance from Laura Prepon, Alicia Silverstone and Dance Mom starlet Maddie Ziegler just to name a few:Alicia SilverstoneLaura Prepon

Finally show time and I have to say my vision and thoughts of Morocco are a little more vivid and depth. Morocco is rich in culture, spectacular splashes of color with scrumptious spices. Siriano took a more scaled down approach to this vibrant country- He brought out more natural hues, that necessarily didn’t speak Moroccan influences or textile:CS1CS3CS8CS13CS14

Needless to say I personally didn’t feel a Moroccan sense or feeling but, then just as I was about to just feel let down -these gorgeous/flowy pieces came out onto the runway that took me to Morocco and celebrated all things we have come to know and love:CS32CS33

CS34

I think Christian really brought a very different element to this collection and, I will reiterate, I would have loved to see more of the textures, colors and flare from Moroccan influences. Congratulations to a very successful fashion week:Christian SirianoWe cannot wait to hear your opinions from this amazing collection and Designer.

NYFW: Alexander Wang Spring 2016

Happy fabulous fashion week LaPazions, anniversaries are being celebrated all over this year and Alexander Wang just happens to be celebrating his 10 year anniversary in this glamorous industry. I mean who really knew its been ten years for this amazing Designer? Alexander Wang started his eponymous label in 2005, when he was on 19 years of age and just graduating from Parsons The New School For Design. When he use to rock the short hair cut:Alexander age 19

Now fast forward to this July when he abruptly stepped down after only 3 years with Balenciaga. I cannot begin to tell you how important this show is for Wang. Well, I tell you there are enough celebrities here to make sure this event is a major success- From Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj, Mary J. Blige, Kylie Jenner and Tyga, Kanye and Kim just to drop a few names.

The first look comes out and I’m still reserving my opinion, if this is a total yay or nay for me.. I’m kind of on the fence because, I think I may have expected just a bit more from this presentation so, I’m feeling like I wanted the wow moment and I couldn’t find it:A1A2A3A4A11A14A26I think for us all at Lapazimageing, the collection fell just a little short, and it didn’t seem to have really a cohesive direction but, maybe that was exactly what Wang was going for. For me personally the collection  felt heavy and a little disgruntle=very angry models with looks of total rage in their eyes and face..

LaPazions we cannot wait to hear your thoughts and feedback from this collection..  There is so much more to come so make sure you check back!
