CONGRATS !! to Carin Elmore from Buford, GA for wining those fab motorcycle gloves from Ines.
Heres her definition of a Fly Femme - "She is also known as the Urban Woman. She is stylish, crazy, sexy, & cool, free-spirited and sophisticated and but of course educated ! A fly femme is knowledgeable in all kinds of topics and situations that go on today in our world; she can school you on politics, sports, social issues and entertainment news, just know she goes in ! She knows the best place for happy hour (when i hit that big 2-1 trust i will know more of these things ! lol), the latest clubs and she's rockin' that wild crazy stuff. She rocks what you fear, She dares what you dont, She cares nothing about what people might say about her. She fly's above all the haters. Her style is eternal just as Yves Saint Laurent says. She is much of a charmer, the life of the party sometimes but knows when to lay low. The definition of a Fly Femme is definitely someone i want to be, can see myself as, or maybe i am that now !"

The Perfect FIT

When it comes to denim I am really particular. I feel that every woman no matter what her size full figured, Long and leggy, petite it doesn't matter she should have that favorite pair of jeans -- that hugs and accentuates her curves giving her the confidence that she's a BAD BITCH on every occasion. Unfortunately, jean shopping can often be time consuming and a night mare. Here are a few tips to help with your search for the perfect pair of denim.
1. Size
Size is a big issue alot of women are not dressing for themselves. I love being a curvy girl but I know I have to take the time to make sure it fits appropriately. So many girls have their gut spilling over the waist of the jeans News Flash that makes you look bigger.
Before you even head to the stores, you should know your numbers — it’ll make finding the perfect jeans that much easier. Assess your true size, grab a tape measure (or have a professional fitting done; many department stores offer this service if you’re uncomfortable doing it yourself). For a true size estimate, have a friend help you out.
Measure your hips first; to do so, place a tape measure around the widest part of your hips, right between your waist and the tops of your thighs. You’ll also need to measure your inseam, which is from the crotch area down. These are important numbers you need to have before you can find jeans that accurately fit.
2. Fit
Grab at least 5 pairs of jeans you like and head to the dressing room — it’s time to evaluate how they fit! Look for jeans that fit snugly from your waist to your knees. Are there any gaps? You want your jeans to gently hug your curves, but you don’t want to be squeezing out of them! PANCAKE BOOTY a definite no no your goal is to accentuate not diminish.
Walk around in them and get a feel for how the jeans fit you. This will be your first clue that you’ve found a great pair of jeans. If you can’t perform normal movements comfortably, They aren’t the jeans for you! It's like a bad relationship so not worth the time. Great fitting jeans will feel like a second skin and look fantastic, too.
If you’re still unsure, take one of your friends but not the yes man, the girl/ guy that would say O hell no!
3. Body Type
Know your body type! Certain jean styles may look wonderful on an hourglass figure, but could look less-than-flattering on a straight-up-and-down girl
4. Tailor is your friend
Lately I've learned that simple alterations to pants and denim can make my jeans a whole lot better. Like I used to think If i am spending money on the jeans, why bring it to the tailor. Which was DUMB ASS HELL, especially with my body type and I have shorter limbs than the average.
Hope fully these tips help you as much as they help me when it comes to finding jeans.
