The Curvy Fashionista Curvy.Confident.Chic.
One thing I love to do when it comes to blogging about the plus size community is too read the news about what is happening around the world. In the old days it used to be a quick journey because there was so little to report. Fast forward to 2013 and not only are there more stores dedicated to plus sizes, but there are more websites talking about all things curvy.
