00:00they're going to love these spring trends yes we have a couple of looks that we're going to
00:06hip all of you out there too the first trend is the cold shoulder or the drop shoulder which is
00:11a personal favorite for me this trend was all over the spring 2016 runways almost every designer
00:16featured this trend from probable grung to millie peter palato and princess schuler precious what
00:21makes this trend work for women of all sizes i think that the shoulder is just super sexy or
00:26any woman any size any age any race and it's always cute to just show that off it gives a little
00:32flirty girly feel and which is perfect for spring yes oh okay hello kayla this is our first look you
00:39better rock that trend tell us a little bit about this look precious so i'm loving this forever 21
00:44dress it is perfectly ruffled around the shoulder the shoes are from lane brian which i especially
00:52love for brown girls because it's brown and it gives a nude effect which elongates the entire body
00:57the red clutch from asos is the pop of color that you need to just spring it up and the chunky blaze
01:04bracelets okay girl it happens all the time super cute especially with the denim chambray look with
01:12the tribals and neutrals it's really cute out of it extra play and this is absolutely fabulous i feel
01:17like you can wear this a day night this is a cute brunch look right super cute and then you get you
01:22a little post brunch boo yes and you go on a date kayla how you feel all right thank you so very much
01:29and now our second look naeem khan stella mccartney tommy hilfiger and mary contra zoo all featured
01:36stripes in their 2016 spring runway shows and those looks weren't just a little bit here and there these
01:42were head to toe stripes yes chic stripes not sailor stripes so what's the biggest mistake when putting
01:48on stripes for curvy girls with a style faux pas if you will i think the main thing is to make sure
01:55with any print especially stripes is to make sure that it fits separately before you put them together
02:01so tailoring is important tailoring making sure that each piece fits well is what's going to really
02:06bring the look together oh our second model felicia how are you yes okay you know what whenever
02:13i'm playing with patterns i never i would have never thought to put horizontal and vertical stripes
02:17well that's how you break up the body and you see that the but like you see her waist from the
02:21horizontal stripes and how this tank kind of hits the waist and the drawstring with the vertical stripe
02:27which you always want to elongate the leg and that's what the vertical would do on the bottom
02:31um this linen pin is from lane bryant which i really love this easy breezy this open toe wedge
02:38is also from lane bryant you can go to lane bryant just get your chic just get it right life together
02:43life together and the century 21 tank just makes it you know the casual chic with the stripe and i
02:51really like that tip about the vertical stripe being on the bottom so we can all feel like
02:54supermodels like what i did there essence live like when i did guys last but not least the tote
03:00is really cute and the tote is from forever 21 as well which i love that it's still neutral
03:05and it's just a cool chic you know stripe effect lovely thank you so much and all right so for our
03:12final look one of my personal favorites a little texture velvet fishnet ruffles and pleats are some
03:18of the textures that are going to be huge this season designers like tanya taylor chanel carolina
03:23herrera and hermes display pleats in different ways some were small and intricate and others were
03:28large and exaggerated so precious how do our thicker ladies embrace this trend without it going i don't
03:33know adding bulk to their silhouette well i think like not even just for a thicker ladies but slimmer you
03:38don't want to bulk your body period and i think you know making sure you're elongating everything and
03:43doing uh mixing the textures makes it dimensional okay and so you don't have like a block here and a
03:50block there but just like mixing like this beautiful dress is what's going to give you
03:54um the effect you need without bulking and this is our third model tatiana who just came in with the
04:00bold black and white in the lip this lip is everything it's everything tell us about this look
04:04so i love this dress because i love how the pleats you know the chiffon it opens up as you walk and it
04:11gets a really airy springy feel um this dress is actually from lane bryant and this laser cut out
04:20shoe is also from lane bryant and i like the fact that it's still muted and you can pop color and it
04:25doesn't always have to be with your bag right it could be with your lip and this tote is h&m as well
04:31which i love um how chic that is with all of the black i heard nails are black you are just
04:36somebody coordinated and you know what i love about this when you i think please i think like
04:41schoolgirl please like something juvenile but this is very like chic sophisticated very movement this
04:47is giving you everything you need and last but not least this hat which i think pulls together a
