City hosts fashion week that favors plus-sized women

It's no secret that the fashion world has traditionally favored rail-thin females with legs that go on for ever to model dresses, designer shoes and designer accessories, but that all may soon be changing as one city is making a big push to include plus-size women in fashion shows. According to sources like the United Kingdom's Mail Online, London will be hosting the first ever Plus Size Fashion Weekend (LPSFW).

The event is taking place on February 15 and February 16 of next year and will be held at the Beach Blanket Babylon and Shoreditch Town Hall in East London. The goal is to attract more than 500 people and highlight a number of designers, speakers, models and stores who wear a size 14 and above.

In addition to the shows, attendees will also have the opportunity to partake in a wide range of other activities ranging from a styling class to discussions about the plus-size fashion industry. The main goal of the event is to show people that beauty comes in all different shapes and sizes.

In a statement, organizer of LPSFW Remi Ray said that she was inspired to host the two-day affair a few years ago.

''I had always felt uncomfortable trying to fit into mainstream fashion when my shape didn’t conform to what is perceived to be mainstream sizes. After completing my fashion degree I decided to look further into supporting the plus-size market and started Trapped in a Skinny World, which is a plus-size vintage fashion boutique.''

She also added if ''If our event makes at least one plus-size woman overcome her fears and encourages her to indulge in her love for clothes and feeling great, then we will have done our job!''

Bustier tops and red mini dresses are wardrobe staples ideas this holiday season

Most people know how important it is to look good at an office holiday party. Not only does a nice outfit help make a good impression in front of your boss and colleagues, it also sends the message that you are professional.

However, when it comes to celebrating the holiday season with your friends or in more of an informal environment, the rules are a little bit different. If you need some ideas on how to ensure you look like a 10, then read over the tips below from People Magazine:

1) Wear a bustier top with cigarette pants and fun shoes
It's no wonder that Gwyneth Paltrow loves this look – she's got a killer figure! If you want to show off what you've got in a classy and stylish way, then a metallic top, matching pants and designer shoes like Cesare Paciotti's red suede pumps are the way to go.

2) Don a red sequin mini dress
What other time of the year is it going to be perfectly acceptable and even encouraged by others to wear a short, sparkly red dress to a party? Add a red cocktail ring and metallic pumps for some extra bling.

3) Go for the gold…rose gold, that is
If you aren't a fan of traditional Christmas colors like red and green, then another chic option you have is sporting a dress that is rose gold. This color looks good on everyone and looks incredible with silver shoes and matching hoop earrings.

4) Don't forget about the white items in your closet
That saying about how wearing white after labor day is a faux pas is so last season. When paired with a black top, a white peplum skirt is a winning combination whatever time of the year it is!
