"I find, as a style writer and also as a woman, the female species loves a good deal (especially when it&amp;#x27;s shared between friends). Like a secret recipe passed down through the generations, we recommend designers that fit and flatter hoping to hook our pals up with a new favorite.I am loyal to my friends, my family and my fashion brands: I find one and I&amp;#x27;m in for life. Like a penguin. This is not to say that I don&amp;#x27;t venture out, wearing new brands with an indie spirit, but I do play favorites. If you are reading this blog, I consider you &amp;quot;in&amp;quot; with my brand of real girl style, so here&amp;#x27;s the go-to tip sheet for this petite, size 6 to 8 curvy girl: 1. RACHEL Rachel Roy Sold at Macy&amp;#x27;s and a fan favorite of First Lady, Michelle Obama. Her style is unique, chic yet wearable and oh-so-flattering. The Macy&amp;#x27;s line is totally affordable and I always buy one of whatever she is dishing out. 2. Jessica Simpson Collection Girl works it out (no wonder she&amp;#x27;s tr&amp;amp;egrave;s successful!). Her shoes, dresses, accessories, bags and brand of pop-y, colorful palettes, is right in line with what I love. 3. Shoshanna If I&amp;#x27;m prepared to spend some money on a look, I spend it on Shoshanna. I love her color and class. Her collection is often worn on the red carpet and is a favorite of Guiliana Rancic on E! and Kim Kardashian. My favorite part of Shoshanna&amp;#x27;s line are her tucked-waist silhouettes and her fabrics that fall over a curvy hip to make a voluminous girl go va-va voom. What&amp;#x27;s on your summer dress wish list? Photos: Macy&amp;#x27;s, Shoshanna"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
