Dismissing signs stating that there would be explicit sexual material in some rooms - thinking it would be pretty mild - I was a little surprised to walk into a very graphic room full of Jeff Koons' not so finest peices. Big images, up close and personal, awkward alone never mind with your Dad and step-mother.
However, if you can bypass this it is worth a visit. I'm one of those 'fashion people' who will not pretend she is an art-type to fit in or sound intellectual, but I enjoyed this. I understood most of it (my parents did not) and I have a soft spot for Andy Warhol now more than ever. Such a funny character and so ahead of his time with his hunger for fame etc. (Paris Hilton and co. anyone?)

It's no secret that the models of the moment always look great, but it isn't just down to their blessed genes - they show us how important it is to get the basic essentials right. I'm not usually one to promote a wardrobe full of black/white/grey shades, but they are staples for everyone whatever you chose to team them with.
Invest in good quality peices that fit well and have something a bit more interesting about them. Basics don't have to be boring and you can be head to toe in black and grey and still be inspiring with your choices. Now that winter is swiftly coming along we'll be seeing a lot of dull colours, so grabbing some of the key peices will stop you from looking frumpy, and leave everyone wondering how you look so good when youre wearing something so simple.

PS. I finally got hold of the skirt!
Torrid has definitely stepped up their shoe game this season. Torrid has shoes by the likes of Fergie, Jessica Simpson, & Dollhouse. Most of us know Torrid for their clothes, I have personally only bought boots from them because they do sell the plus calf size boots. I remember seeing their shoes years ago and just thinking blah, but not this time around. The prices ranges are from 50 to $140. The more expensive shoes are from Fergie herself, which are my personal favorite. Another perk from Torrid shoes as they tend to run a little wider than the medium width shoes you buy from everywhere else which can add for a little more comfort for our Curvy Girls. Bottom line is that Torrid has some Curvy Girl worthy heels for your Fall/Winter season.

I wanted to look like this (above).
