StyleFashionista - Curvy & Fabulous 'Lade

Hello Loviessss, 

Today our stylefashionista is the very lovely, curvy and fabulous lade, a student in England.
She sent in her pictures and was very quick to remind me that she is working on a tight budget. I couldn't stop laughing cos i know the feeling. Been there.

She sure knows how to style her curves and i think she nailed it in her outfits.

I love that she wears all kinds of prints and embraces bold colors. 

What do you guys think?


Name: 'Lade

Where are you originally from & where do you live currently: Osun state in Nigeria, but currently reside in a small town in the East Midlands, England.

What you do for a living:  I am currently a part time, job seeking student (babe on a tight, throat cutting budget)

How do you relax/hobbies: Singing, watching series (addicted to Grey's Anatomy, Suits, Scandal, revenge and Vampire Diaries....Cant wait till they all return for new seasons), watching talent shows (American idol, Britain's got talent, X-factor, etc....i recommend the Nigerian versions of these shows to laugh you guts out), surfing the web and gisting with my friends and sisters.

What inspires your style: My comfort, confidence and comfort of everyone that will see me..i'll explain- as a curvy lady, there are parts of my body that i'm not comfortable exposing, so i usually keep them under wraps..plus there are trends that i believe aren' t for curvy ladies too







Who is your style icon:  To be honest, i dont really have one... My mum maybe...Lady white of life!, And maybe Tanesha of Girl with curves (http://girlwithcurves.com/About).

Are you ladylike or boyish in your dressing: I like to think i'm ladylike..i do have my boyish days though.

What fashion item can't you live without: Blazers and Flats please

Pumps or wedges: Pumps please! Eww to wedges, i have only 'owned' one ever (it was stolen from my elder sister)

Are you obsessed with any fashion item in your closet now and what is it:  I love 98% of the stuff in my closet right now but not obsessed...i have a few things i'm obsessed with but i don't own them....YET!

What's the most expensive or cheapest fashion item you've ever owned and was it worth it:  Nothing jare.. I usually wait for a sale, so maybe half of my closet is a steal..Lol!

Are you a foodie and what's your favourite food: Not really a foodie, but my favorite food should be a nice plate of chicken salad....*tongue out*

How do you stay fit & healthy: I hate exercise (and it shows) but i then to walk around and take the stairs A LOT in my current country of residence.







What's the weirdest thing I'll find in your handbag: Nothing really...i hardly carry unnecessary stuff..A needle and thread sometimes might be the weirdest stuff periodically in my bag

Your favourite holiday location: Dubai & Singapore

How do you dress your curves: I just dress for me, i try to cover my 'problem areas' such as my arms and i always take other people into consideration..(don't want to be hurting anyone's eyes now)..I find a lot of african curvy ladies dressing in extremely tight clothes as they seem not to know the difference between fitted and tight, exposing stretch marked arms and cellulite filled thighs (you can edit anywhere u feel i went overboard as you dont want to reduce followers oh! lol)...thats why blazers are my wardrobe staples...i dont really find it difficult though,  but sometimes its hard to find nice fitting items to buy.

Brands that cater for you body type: H and M (their blazers are the life- in colors and fit), New look, Zara (Yimu) and Primarni (for my flats)!!! Ebay also helps A LOT!
Advice to other curvy ladies: Dress you body right and you'll look amazing..Invest in blazers they boost your confidence and please let's learn to buy our size...

  7. LMAOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! She's really funny. i totally love the way she answers questions. My most favorite interview so far.
    Lade's style is very inspiring and confident. Who says curvy isn't sexier than skinny? The confidence she has is displayed through the colors and ensemble.
    Very nice post *Thumbs up*

  9. Initially, I thought the 5th picture was too matchy but too be honest, she pulled it off well and it works. She obviously has a sweet personality. I really like the faux leather jersey top on the print pants and i like that she paired it with the yellow flats.

  10. I own the exact same teal tribal pants and I have never styled it the way she has. I always play safe with it. Love the peach blazer combo and the yellow flats on it. I love her interview too.

  11. Clearly she knows what works for her body and rocks it well. Love her sense of humor and i like the advise she gave other curvy ladies; Fitted is truly different from tight. Go girl, you rock.

  12. Whaooooo! i really like Lade's interview, she seems charming.
    The polka dots with the pink blazer is my best look.
    My advice is for her to be a curvy model. She makes clothes look good. *scratch that* Great!

  32. I love her style. She is curvy and confident. And she smiles from within. You can tell she is one joyful soul. I love her in the maxi dress, polka dot top and print pants. This is one curvy chic that knows what suits her. And she is so funny.
