The Belle Epoque Spring Collection 2011 is fearless, tireless and moving forward.






































Did you know that 62% of American women wear size 12 and up? The Belle Epoque Spring Collection for 2011 is ready to fill that void for many beautiful full figured women around the US. I am not surprised by the debut of this collection for the many plus sized women, who for many years have complained they have been overlooked in today's fashion world. Come Spring 2011, there will be many options to choose from, as the Belle Epoque collection for 2011 captured the beauty and elegance acknowledged as;..."the Golden Age",... by Zahir Babvani;VP of Design and Galina Monaco; Designer, both of OneStopPlus.com. While in attendance I overheard one of the coordinators say; 'I am so proud of this moment, I could cry'. The show began on a very high note with draped dresses some asymmetrical with beautiful hues of peach, lemon and blue for spring. The collection transitioned into other draped and sheath dresses, trousers, cardigans and blouses but this time with beautiful hues of aquatic blues of lace. It continued on to two other themes of denim and cargo which comprised of shirt dresses, capris, shorts, jumpers, blazer and trench coats which are all essentials for a one's spring wardrobe. The show ended on a glittering high note of gold guilded gowns, tea dresses, maxi skirts and bouquet dresses. In attendance, were Gabourey Sidibe, Toccara Jones and Whitney Thompson. As you can see, the full figured gal need not worry for fashion options come Spring 2011, because she is fearless, tireless and always moving forward, a motto that OneStopPlus.com also represents.

REVIEW: The Tribal Couture collection is bold and edgy for NY Fashion Week


Tribal Couture's bold use of jewelry to complement each garment might be exactly what fashionistas love about dressing up. The very short and well put together collection is comprised of jackets, skirts, blouses and dresses that are beautiful, edgy and modern. There is one black jacket that is made of Chantilly lace, that stands out and is reminiscent of the great Greta Garbo in the golden age of 1920's Hollywood glamour, only that Tribal Couture's version has a new silhouette. Jewelry plays an important element for each outfit and can even sometimes outshine the garments. This leaves me to wonder if the subject of focus might really be the jewelry. The collection seems to communicate the message that; necklaces, bracelets and chandelier earrings are essential for your wardrobe regardless of how expensive that gown or entire outfit might cost. To see the beautiful models sashay down the catwalk in each look, definitely speak volumes when your look is complete with either that over sized earring or jewelled pin or attitude ring. We love this collection for its' bold use of jewelry, beauty and modern approach for its' vision of today's fashionistas.

Body Rock Sports Collection @ NY Fashion Week












The Body Rock Sport fashion presentation was as high energy as its' sporty backdrop at the Chelsea Piers with a bevy of beautiful models showcasing Kelly Dooley's innovative creativity. Seeing the models participate in a live spin class with a live music DJ, allowed fashionistas and guests to see the versatility of its' FASHION, FITNESS & FUNCTION. Imagine wearing your bra for support, then imagine wearing it also for jogging or cycling with shorts or tights, then utilising it also for dancing the night away by dressing it up with crystal or silver charms around the neckline with your favorite shorts or jeans and that's just the beginning. And if you are thinking about colors or it being plain, think again because there are a variety of options to suite your style, ranging from 'The Anna' to 'The Tentra' each with its' own unique style and color. 'The Anna' has a waterproof pocket on the front of the bra, a durable YKK zipper and a large enough pocket for some personal belongings. 'The Tentra' is the most fashionably fabulous piece and most expensive in their special 'Show Em Off' collection at a price tag of $1850. It features a detachable sterling silver charm bracelet and necklace that is fastened to a Body Rock Sport bra in black spandex and gunmetal burnout fabric with a pocket in the back and pewter distressed fabric for ventilation and style. So as you can imagine the Body Rock Sport bra collection is not just your typical bra that you're usually familiar with. Its' a new approach to being fit, while still being fashionable and feeling good 24/7. See for yourself and check them out http://www.bodyrocksport.com/ for purchases and more.

Organic by John Patrick for Spring 2011


It is so refreshingly health conscious of John Patrick's new collection to be titled 'Organic'. His Spring 2011 collection is, in his own words; ...."ultra-refined". I personally love the color pallete of the designs that reflect his 'organic' creative vision. The tea-dresses and jackets are also something to look forward to, for Tru-Fashionistas who embrace the idea of sustainability while still being fabulous. We love you John Patrick. Check out the rest of the collection for yourself here.
