Curvy Style: Cake and Cocktails with Maggy London

Photos by Edelle Kenny. Dresses by Maggy London.

I love a beautiful dress! From fitted bodycon sheaths in every color to flirty floral sundresses, my closet is filled with them.

(Actually, it’s bursting. I had to setup a second wardrobe in our bedroom to deal with my dress overflow. Not sorry about this.)

If you ever see me in person (or TV! or Instagram!), the odds are high I’ll be wearing one. Hence my excitement when Maggy London, a NY-based fashion brand that I've been wearing for years, reached out to me about participating in their spring dress campaign!

They sent a team and photographer to my apartment last week for a super fun photo shoot featuring cake, cocktails, and a selection of bright and pretty dresses perfect for Spring parties and entertaining.

They shared the photos, along with short Q&A with me, on the Maggy London website—click over to check it out! In the interview, I talked about some of my favorite NYC spots, the best life and style advice I’ve ever received, and my secret for picking a great cocktail bar or restaurant. 

You already know that I love food and cooking, but fashion and style is also very much my thing (this girl definitely loves to dress up!), so it was a thrill to be able to bring these two passions together--I'm so excited to share these pictures with you!

I was able to choose the dresses I wanted to wear for the shoot, and this pink number was the first one I picked out.

I love a slightly retro silhouette with a nipped in waist and poofy skirt, and can definitely see myself wearing this to host Spring brunch and dinner parties.

I fell in love with the neckline on this creamy fitted sheath.

Anything that emphasizes my collarbone is a win for me, and the way these straps fall just slightly off the shoulder, while still making it possible for me to wear a bra is a total win.

(This fabric has a bit of stretch to it, too, which makes it extra comfortable and flattering for my fellow curvy girls.)

Something like this would be perfect for a cocktail party or to wear out to a date on a warm Spring evening. 

I’ve been wanting a yellow dress, so was instantly smitten when I saw the Kinsley! This one has Easter and bridal showers and sunny days written all over it.

For the shoot, I paired it with my favorite hot pink apron (and a glass of sparkling pink rosé!) for the perfect spring palette.

I'm so very ready for warm spring days ahead! What are you most looking forward to this spring?
