Dear Ven, Here's how to dress A "real" woman as all real designers should be able to do...

So for all those who watch Project Runway you may have heard Ven's disparaging comments about his curvy client. And so in honor of her and the great dress she didn't find here is what I would have given to her to make her feel awesome instead of crying and upset:

Modcloth

I fancy fruit

Now some may say my penchant for lace and leopard prints cannot be matched within my closet but one such obsession is coming fairly close: fruit prints! Since the dawn of their birth amongst prada and Stella shows, their reworkings by gossip girl, Katy perry, betsey Johnson, numerous blogs and numerous brands I have undoubtedly fell in love with their bold statement and ongoing resurgences in popularity. Here is my take on a trend I hope never dies and it's childish and yet sophisticated quality. Whether attending a picnic, concert, pool party, or even simply in every day life I hope you consider adding such a delightful dash of whimsy.
