Fashion Brands Shouldn't Surcharge For Plus Sizes | KNOWSTYLE

Fashion Brands Shouldn't Surcharge For Plus Sizes | KNOWSTYLE

As women, we can agree that shopping (itself) can be a challenge.

We are constantly trying to find clothes that fit right, accentuate your curves, and give you a little boost of confidence. However, sometimes we are just out of luck and we can’t find ANYTHING to wear.

So, this is where online shopping (e-commerce shopping) can really help us because it enables us to shop from anywhere (literally). If you like a top or shorts that you see online which is sold in France, you can pay that extra $20.00 international shipping charge and have it shipped to you right in front of your door.

However, I was reading a fashion article published by Yahoo News about Fashion Brands Accused of Charging More for Plus-Size Clothing. To summarize this article, the author Marie-Claire Dorking wrote about how a lifestyle and fashion blogger named BeckyBedBug was browsing through a prominent online retail store, ASOS.com and spotted a price difference of a product. The regular size dress cost around $32 and plus size cost around $46. That is more than $12 dollars difference (Is ASOS.com asking plus-size people to skip lunch one day and purchase a dress?)

ASOS-plus-size-clothing-surcharge

You can also read screenshots of tweets between Beckybedbug and ASOS.com here.

As an employee at an E-Commerce Business such as KnowStyle, I spoke to my colleagues about this matter. We all agree that it is shameful for companies to charge more for plus size clothing because everyone has different body shapes. So, is it necessary for clothing companies to charge differently for the discrepancy between the two sets of figures?

We don’t think so.

“The average American woman weighs 166.2 pounds, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,” published by The Washington Post.  

We understand that companies have to use more fabric in order to produce bigger clothes for plus size women, but that means we should be charging extra for every size: Small, Medium, and Large. I believe in equality and as a woman who shops online frequently, I don’t think it is ethical to surcharge people for the product in a bigger size.

With that being said, KnowStyle is working towards releasing plus size clothing products and we are also conscious about selling clothes that would fit all body types (for the same price). In the meantime, we found some items for you below that are very versatile!

fall-2016-bell-dress-for-sale

This bell dress is super cute, comfortable to wear and you can buy it for $15.99 at KnowStyle. It is one of those dresses that are very comfortable, versatile and stretchy which is suited for all body types! 

cheap-off-the-shoulder-midi-dress

Off the shoulder outfits are very trendy right now, and we decided to combine it with a bodycon dress! This dress comes in black and red. I think this fits all body types because it is stretchy and really hugs your body. You can wear some Spanx under the dress, so your body looks nice and smooth. 

sweater-dress-on-sale

What do you think of this classy dress? It is also a bodycon shape dress, but it hugs your body and it is very stretchy. I love the knit material and the stripes because it actually makes you look slimmer and taller. You can buy it at KnowStyle for $39.99. What I really love about this dress is that you can wear it to work with a jacket or you can wear it out to a happy hour event! 

off-the-shoulder-olive-dress

If you are one of those short girls, this is the perfect dress for you. It is very loose, so we found a waist belt to show off some curves. This off the shoulder dress is very soft and comfortable. I think this is going to be a hit this fall, especially if you wear it with some high-heel boots! Yes or no? 

casual-vest-on-sale-summer

I love love love vests because it always completes a simple outfit. You can wear a simple dress or just a tank top and jeans/shorts and Tada! A vest can change the whole persona. Not to mention, it is a article of clothing that can be worn by anyone (well, as long as YOU like the style). Like the vest? Buy it here!

Here is another interesting article about different body types.

Celebrity Casual Outfit Inspirations For This Weekend | KNOWSTYLE

Who is ready for the weekend? (I am!)

Who is ready for fall? (We are!)

Because the weekends are all about being casual and comfortable, we pulled the latest fashion trends that you can rock this weekend. Whether you are having brunch with your girlfriends, grabbing drinks at a local pub or going to some fancy event, it is all about comfort, causal and confidence. Of course, we get our fashion inspirations from one of the leading beauty and fashion magazine, ELLE Magazine where we found these amazing styles and photos Just. For. You. 

Ciara-Casual-bomber-jacket-style-outfit

Who loves Ciara as much as we do? She is a total 90's babe that rocked our jams! She's still sexy, fierce and fabulous. Of course she made it in Elle Magazine's fashion website because of her amazing outfit this year to Nickelodeon's Kids Choice Sports. Did you see her dress at ESPY Awards 2016? (I almost died because it was so gorgeous). So, if you like her casual look, we have the perfect outfits to mix and match for you!

These knee ripped jeans have been really popular cause it is skinny jeans and sorta high-waisted! But my favorite part about the jeans is that it is stretchy, but it doesn't stretch out after wearing it long periods of times (no butt crack for me!) 

Dark-destroyed-high-waisted-ripped-denim-jeans

To match your jeans, we need a white top. Of course, we have some #slayin tops for you at KnowStyle. My favorite top is the following Killin' it All Day Everyday top because 1) it is super affordable... like $15.99 (seriously). 2) it goes with everything 3) You should be killin' it everyday, girl! 

 graphic-tees-on-sale

Finally, you need some bomber jackets and nikes to complete your Ciara-lookin' outfit! I think light bombers are super comfortable and they are relatively cheap at KnowStyle right now. Not to mention, we have them in white, black, mint and pink. Of course, these babes are on sale right now for $29.99 which is super cheap because originally, it was $39.99!

Nikes are sexy if they are worn with the right outfit! Have you checked out Nordstrom's new Nike high top release? Well, here is a link if you like the image below. I love these wedge sneakers because it still gives you a little boost and makes your booty look gooooood :-)

First off, let's talk about Selena's sunglasses. As you know, the Cat-Eye sunglasses have been super popular!! Especially, my favorite Quay (love, love, love). You can purchase similar sunglasses right here at Zappos! QUAY AUSTRALIA Invader

Of course we have plenty of matching hoodies and pants sets at KnowStyle. One of my favorite is the one that @iluvsarahii wore in her instagram picture (see below).

The Work Outfit 

 

Monday through Firday... What will you wear? You want to look attractive, classy and professional at work, right? What about this midi dress? It comes in black, teal and orange. We sold this item so quick that we have other colors coming into the store. It is very affordable and also very versatile. You can't go wrong with this one. If you want to dress it differently, just put a top over the dress, and you will have a different outfit from the one you see in the picture.

To match your simple dress, wear a blazer from Loft! Because it is summer, I chose a white blazer to wear with this outfit. White keeps you cool from the sun and it compliments teal very well. Of course, a hint of black wouldn't hurt right?

I am pretty sure almost every girl has a normal black heel in their closet. If not, you can buy one here! Wear it with black heels and you are ready to conquer the world, babe.

Hey #Kshotties!

As you all know, this summer is all about off the shoulder tops. The reason why it is such a popular trend is because most of the off the shoulder tops are made with 100% cotton, which means that the material is breathable-- especially for those who want to stay cool in the summer heat. Plus, baby blue and pastel tones are the pantone colors of the year, so it looks super cute. 

Dress it down with your favorite pair of white jeans or light jeans and you are summer ready!

Five Simple Steps To A Healthier Lifestyle | KNOWSTYLE

Hey #KShotties, 

We can all agree that people are constantly finding ways to lose weight and to be healthy. Whether you are on a special diet or working out 6 days a week, we are always looking for the new health trend. 

So I decided to research and find some ways to live a healthier lifestyle. Here are some facts I have gathered just for you.

 

1. Embrace SPF infused skin products. 

Acccording to Huffington Post, here are five reasons why you should wear sun screen:

1. The ozone layer is depleting and your body needs shielding from harmful rays.

2. Skin cancer rates are on the rise and sunscreen has been proven to decrease the development of skin cancer.

3. It helps to prevent facial brown spots and skin discolorations.

4. It also helps to reduce the appearance of facial red veins and blotchiness.

5. It slows down the development of wrinkled, premature aging skin.

Vitamin D is good for you. The sun is good for you. However, too much exposure to sun can be harmful to your body. As Americans, we are attracted to that "Beyonce lookin' skin glow," but the reality is, too much exposure to the sun without protection can cause skin cancer (eeek, now that doesn't sound too good). 

Instead, why don't you try the products below? 

Here are seven best tanners in 2016 by Elle Magazine.

And it actually works! However, we all hate it when our palms turn orange after applying tanning lotion on your body. Here are some ways to remove sunless tanner from your hands. 

 

 2. It is never too late to start taking care of your skin.

The natural way of course. People these days are so wrapped up around plastic surgery and botox, and the majority of 20 something year olds are looking into getting botox as a "preventative." 

Well, you should definitely read " 14 Things I Wish I Knew Before Getting Botox.

But the reality is, you don't want to over-do botox to the point that you can't move your face and it just looks awkward because you look like you have a RBF (Resting B*tch Face).

However, there are alternative and organic methods where you can start taking care of your face like Glowgenix

So, what is this? I found this facial product that has been featured in People, CNN and Cosmopolitan. 

Glowgenix uses an all natural formulation for a complete 2-step beauty system designed to inject all the powerful yet natural ingredients your skin needs to look great without the needle.

The admirable qualities about this product is that it is affordable as well as it has a lot of valuable nutrients for our skin. There are natural ingredients that stimulate collagen production, loaded with antioxidants that protects and promotes anti-aging. Finally, it contains red algae, rosemary and balm mint extract which is also healthy for the skin because it keeps it moisturized and oil-free. 

 

 3. Low-Calorie, Low-Carb Alcoholic Drinks.

We all have to admit that (for those who are over 21 years old) some of us love to drink by the pool or the beach with some friends. However, most of us are concerned about the carb levels and calories that come with alcoholic beverages. So, I have found some healthy alcoholic brands with the lowest calories and carbs, so you can maintain that six-pack abs this summer.

 

Tito's Hand Made Vodka ( 1 shot = 97 Calories)

Tito's Handmade Vodka

"Vodka is a distilled alcoholic drink made from grains, potatoes, soybeans, grapes, rice or sugar beets. Since it’s distilled, technically there shouldn’t be any gluten left in it but there’s always the chance for cross-contamination and whatnot. Because of this, it’s always a good idea to go for a non-grain based vodka such as potato vodka instead of wheat vodka if you’re trying to stick with a strict paleo diet," according to Cross Fit Chica

Which means that Tito's is way to go because it is actually healthier for you than drinking a bottle of Smirnoff. 

 

Rumhaven (1 Shot = 76.5 Calories)

Rum Haven Calories

If you are a big fan of coconuts and Malibu Rum, you have to try this new product. The reason why I believe this is better than Malibu Rum is because it is made with real coconut water and cane sugar. Every ingredient is all natural and not made with flavor extracts. You can't beat that, right?

 

Michelob Ultra Beer ( 1 beer = 95 Calories)

Michelob Ultra Beer Review

If you want to stay away from hard liquor, the most bikini friendly beer is Michelob Ultra. It has 2.6 to 5.5 grams of Carbs which is significantly less carbs than other beer brands. On top of that, it will get you drunk if you have enough light beers! 

 

 4. Start lovin' them Stair Masters

If you’re looking to burn calories, lose weight and strengthen and tone major muscle groups, stair climbing provides astounding results. In fact, climbing stairs is widely regarded as one of the most efficient and effective cardio and strength building workouts you can do. If you’re willing to put in the work, it provides the results, according to the website StairMasters.

I couldn't agree more. I started doing stairmaster workouts 3-5 times a week and it really works. I've never lost so much weight just doing 20 minutes of stair-masters a day (of course, you have to stretch as well). Try it for yourself!

 

5. The 80/20 rule.

Drop that high calorie, high carb snack. Drop that slice of pizza or bread. 

Yeah, that's what everyone says but the majority of us love CARBS (at least I do). But you don't have to make yourself miserable by not eating the foods you love. Its just being disciplined. 

On the weekdays, eat chicken and veggies, then on the weekends, you can have a couple of slices of pizzas and wings. Just make sure the high calorie and carb foods are only consumed on the weekends (along with your alcoholic beverages) and refrain from eating unhealthy on the weekdays. Once you train and build healthy habits, it won't be so hard to say no to that slice of a pizza on a Tuesday evening. 

 

 Well, I hope all of the information above is beneficial to you! I know it is nearly impossible to follow all of the right steps, but you can try to incorporate one by one along the way.

LIONESSE HAIR PRODUCTS REVIEW | KNOWSTYLE

 

Hey #KShotties!
First off, I just want to wish you all had a HAPPY WEEKEND! I bet you are excited for July 4th weekend coming up (at least I am! I can't wait to show you all about my July 4th trip to Tampa!)
With that being said, I wanted to talk to you all about some of the beauty and fashion trends that are in style right now for summer 2016. I know in the previous video (click here), I really focused on fashion and some of the upcoming styles in the FASHION industry.
Well, I had a superb opportunity in this video to combine two of my favorite things in life: Beauty, Fashion and Music. I found this skin care and hair company called Lionesse Beauty Bar and decided to create a combination video for you guys.
I think it is important to review products before purchasing them, so I wanted to test the products in the video myself and show you the honest results. So here is a Lionesse Hair Pink Hair Straightener Review.

Personally, I think it is totally worth purchasing all of the products that I have mentioned in the video because of the fact that IT REALLY WORKS. We all know that pictures are worth a million words.

Moving along, I wanted to talk about some of my favorite tops at KnowStyle. As you all know, off-shoulder tops are coming back in style and I absolutely love all of them. They are very breathable because most of them are made out of cotton, as well as the light pastel colors really compliment tan summery skin. I am totally obsessed with wearing my off-shoulder tops with white skinny jeans and wedges. What do you think?
