Plus Fashion Designer Spotlight: An Interview With Lori Ruffin, Designer Of Sean Anthony Designs

After the Sean Anthony Designs “It’s All About the City” Fashion Show, I had an opportunity to interview Lori Ruffin, plus fashion designer of Sean Anthony Designs.

As the founder and CEO of the Sean Anthony Designs, Lori feels that “You don’t have to be a size 10 to stay in style.” For this reason as well as others, she designs ready-to-wear clothing at a reasonable price point for full figured women of all ages.

Event Recap! Sean Anthony Designs “It’s All About the City” Fashion Show

Writers/Bloggers/Models: Yve Edmond, Allison McGevna, Angie De Milo, Limarie Lewis, Colleen Stovall & Jayla Stovall

Earlier this month I had the pleasure of attending Sean Anthony’s “It’s All About the City” Fashion show at the Top of the Tower in my hometown, Philadelphia. Interestingly enough, that day the city itself was buzzing and traffic was crazy! As we rushed to make it to this event, I smiled as the elevator doors opened to the 50th floor, and lead me into a room with a glorious panoramic view of the city below and gorgeous curvy models graciously strutting in printed bomber jackets, circle skirts and gowns.  To read more about this event click below for my Fashion Event Recap on Daily Venus Diva.com!

Getting Back to Me ~ Healthy Curves!

I am writing this pretty much for myself but it is time to get back to me.  I know that "action speaks louder than words" so my plan of action is to let the work speak for itself.  In that I feel like I must devise a plan.

So what is my goal?  The goal is to lose weight, tone and define, build stamina and confidence in the process.  I believe when you love the skin you are in, you are definitely on your way but inactivity is NOT good.  So back to the gym I must go!  The plan for the remainder of this month is to hit the gym at least ONCE a day and work out at least 30 minutes.  For me, working out and eating right go hand in hand BUT if I fall off from working out, I return back to eating poorly.  What can I say?  Working out just makes me more conscious of the amount of calories I am putting in and the amount of work it takes to burn it off.  I was cheating for a little while with sweets.  My addiction to sugar has been one of my major set backs when it comes to proper weight loss maintenance.  So the focus is to cut sugar, work out more and drink more water.  I am not afraid to say I have fallen off but I am a work in progress and will not give up until I have incorporated a healthy lifestyle change.  It doesn't happen overnight, but with the proper focus and plan it will happen.  I have done it once before and can do it again!  Have you?  Let me know what has helped you out on your #healthylifestyle journey.

Peace & Love,

LL

My Interview for Daily Venus Diva with March 2014 Cover Model Liris Crosse

This month I had the opportunity to interview Plus Model Liris Crosse.  There are so many women inspired by Liris’ drive and work ethic in this industry, I for one am one of them.  Huffington Post & Daily Venus Diva noted Liris as one of the most popular plus models and we have seen her everywhere from the runways of British Plus Size Fashion Weekend, Full Figured Fashion Week to Ashley Stewart campaigns. Recently, she was featured in a spread in Plus Model Magazine’s first ever Black Issue with a powerful interview in which she openly expressed the need for more diversity in the modeling industry.  I don't want to give the whole interview away so if you want to know more about our March 2014 Cover Model, just visit the link below and #supportplus #pluswmn.
