Bootyliscious West Coast Style

The last time I posted I had rounded up a few booty pics from NYC. This last weekend I was in San Fran and ventured out to check out the fashion scene with a new found friend. First of all, can we discuss how fashion is affected or not by the new Dove ads? Don't pretend you haven't noticed. They are absolutely everywhere. Bus stations, mags, billboards... Perhaps you are the ad. Perhaps you don't eat to NOT be the ad. Does it really matter if you can barely fit into a designer jean?

I often have discussions with up and coming and high profile designers and question their reasoning for the 0-8 size scale. In most cases the answer is "that's what the buyers want to order". So, what about the customer? My customers come into our stores everyday and try on hundreds of jeans in all sizes, and what I've learned is there is no one booty alike. They come in all shapes and sizes. I love the Dove ads because the airbrushed, double shot espresso lovin models that are usually featured aren't what physically walks in the door to shop everyday. Don't get me wrong. There are people who can wear a size 0, but trust me when I say they have insecurities about what their booty's look like just like someone that wears a size 14.

Once we learn to accept our size and love ourselves for that "shake what your mama gave you" then maybe we'll accept the Dove ads of the world for what they really are...us.

What is your best tip for looking hot in your favorite jean? I'm petite with a long inseam so I've learned that low rise jeans with a slight boot cut make me look ( or so I think) a little taller. My favorite jean line is Serfontaine and Rock and Republic.
