+ individual style for inspiring women +
Every sane person is looking out of their window enjoying the longer, milder days that we are experiencing and relishing the thought that Spring is imminently upon us.

MoreNeeding some light relief, I cheered myself up by looking at Uma Wang’s Spring/Summer 2013 Collection. As well as being truly individual in style, there are always some items in each of her collections that work for those of us who wear plus sizes. I love these pieces; they make me think of sun, warmth […]
