Dreams are personal and not everyone is meant to understand or be apart of your journey because some people will support your journey but secretly hope you fail.

I graduated from The University of Alabama in the Spring of 2013. Over that long summer between graduation and the real world I pondered over where to go next. In October of that year I began developing a graphic t-shirt line to begin my first fashion venture and thus {Kur.vee} was born.{Kur.vee} isn’t a plus size brand. No it is so much more than that. It is a movement of woman embracing and celebrating their curves. {Kur.vee} is about showing women no matter what size that beauty is possible. As a plus size woman myself I understand the needs and desires of plus size woman to feel beautiful and stylish. So today I introduce the {Kur.vee} brand to the world as I began taking pre- orders for my graphic t-shirt collection to be officially released 7.7.14. Take a look at my website at kur-vee.myshopify.com and shop these great graphic tees! Stand out about the crowd as you flaunt and embrace your inner beauty. Connect with me!

Full sized fabulous fashionistas

A recent Huffington Post article revealed the true difficulty of finding fabulous plus sized fashion in stores. This is no surprise to curvy girls like me who have struggled to find fashionable and affordable fashion in retail stores. Like most girls I am bound to the online world and even finding these treasures takes a great amount of research and searching through inevitable moo moo style dresses that the "industry" thinks we want. However, truth is curvy doesn't have to equal frumpy or ugly. Below is a list I have compiled of full sized fashions that range from affordable garments to higher end pieces.
