They share their must-haves and reveal their little secrets...
When shopping, there is nothing as frustrating as not finding something you like. Or even worse, that your favorite item doesn’t exist in your size or is out of stock. We almost all have experienced this. At LolaLiza, we have sizes ranging from size 34 to size 48. Recently size 48 was added to our size list. Every woman wants to feel comfortable and stylish in her outfit. Finding pieces that fit perfectly is a challenge. The times where only size 34 was in the spotlight in the fashion industry are long gone. At LolaLiza we aim to represent the realistic female population that is crucial for our customers. A mix of how things truly are is what everyone really wants to see. Whether you wear a small size, an in-between size or a plus size, LolaLiza has something for you.
For this occasion, Aglae Dreyer, Margo Bazuin, Lena Maes, Alessia Amodio, Axelle Blanpain and Alexa Innuso, influencers with their own style, agreed to answer some of our questions. They share their must-haves and reveal their little secrets,…
Aglae Dreyer (Model)
Aglae has been a model since she was 16, her message to our community is to not listen to what others say or think about your looks. “We should dress for ourselves and if you feel good and you think it’s fun and it looks nice that’s all that matters. Because our body’s are just the way they are.”
She also added that she would say to all women need to follow their instinct and they should not care what others think. What matters is what you think of yourself when you look at yourself in the mirror. If you think it’s cool then you should wear it. Aglae doesn’t think that there is something too sexy or not sexy enough, flattering or not, It’s something that is so personal. She really admires Ashley Graham, who opened doors for plus size models. She loves her energy and looks up to her as a plus size female model.
What Aglae likes the most about herself is that she has a beautiful smile and a good sense of humor. She is a very spontaneous woman. She seems like one of those women you definitely want in your friend group.
The fashion tip she wants to share with us is to highlight the features you like to see about yourself. In her case it is her waist, if she wears a nice dress she likes to add a belt to accentuate her beautiful curves.
“My LolaLiza must-haves are the lovely dresses. I can always find a dress I feel comfortable in. You never can go wrong with a dress. When I don’t really know what to wear I just wear a dress and it works. There are days for dresses and days for jeans and I love both that you offer at LolaLiza. ” - Aglae
Margo Bazuin (web designer and blogger)
Margo, 32, is a web designer by profession but in her free time she likes to write lifestyle blogs and regularly posts on Instagram. She is someone who is fashion-conscious.
What she likes the most about herself is her beautiful smile and her hair color. She’s a very spontaneous and thoughtful person. Her role model for body positivity isIskra Lawrence. Iskra accepts and embraces her own body and that’s what Margo loves about her.
The key tip to every woman from Margo is just to try it out! She often receives messages from women that they like what she wears but it won’t suit them. Margo’s advice to every woman out there is to just try and while figuring out what suits you and what’s not for you, you will get to know your body and your style better.
“My LolaLiza must-haves are definitely the dresses. Especially midi dresses with a nice belt are absolutely essential in my wardrobe. I even convinced my mum to buy a few LolaLiza dresses!” - Margo
Lena Maes (Styliste et fondatrice de @held.antwerp)
Lena is a woman that is very positive minded, a proud mom of 3. She pursued her passion for fashion by giving style advice. One of the things she likes the most about herself is that she is a very positive and attentive person. She loves her strong natural hair and the fact that she can style it in a lot of different ways. The person she looks up to is her mom, who has always been there for her. In terms of body positivity she really looks up to Amy Vandeputte a.k.a. (@FastForwardAmy),a strong entrepreneur with lots of talent.
“The styling tip that I always give to my clients is no matter what size you wear, if you are confident, your outfit will look good on you.” Lots of people think that they only look good in smaller sizes but that’s not true. Often women will hide in dark colors but wearing different colors can also work. The more colors the better. Just don’t try to hide yourself behind dark colors.
Must-haves? I love the LolaLiza dresses, it’s a full look! You can add nice accessories, wear it with nice sneakers, add a pullover,.... There are lots of options to style a dress, you can go classy or casual. -Lena

Axelle Blanpain (Entrepreneur and content creator)
Axelle is an entrepreneur and content creator based in Brussels. It all started 10 years ago, while she was studying fashion design in Paris. She decided to start her blog to share her looks, shopping tips and beauty tips. Today lots of people enjoy reading her blog posts and like to see her content on Instagram.
What Axelle loves the most about herself is that she is a very caring person. She always tries to take care of her loved ones and tells them how special they are. She’s also learning to be easier on herself but it's not always that easy! Axelle likes the fact that she never takes herself too seriously. Her best physical feature is her hair. Taking care of it every day, has become part of her routine and her efforts are paying off!
“I don't really have a "body positive" role model, I think there are so many inspiring women around the world! I'm really happy to discover new Instagram or Youtube accounts every day that inspire me and help me realise that there is no such thing as one body type.”
Axelle’s fashion advice:
The most important thing for me is to find the right mix of what you like, what fits you and where you feel good in. A lot of women are afraid to try new cuts or styles when they might just find the piece they're looking for. It's definitely worth taking some time to try new things, to understand what you're comfortable in and what makes you feel beautiful! If you're a little embarrassed about doing this in a shop, place a large order online and do your fittings at home. Not only will you be more relaxed, but you'll also be able to see how these new pieces work with the clothes you already have. If you don't like the pieces, just slip them into the packaging and return them by post or in-store, it's that easy!
I also think it's important to have a well-thought-out wardrobe, with good, timeless basics that you can wear over and over again, but also with a few stronger pieces, like a really nice bag or a beautiful belt that enhances certain looks.
I'm a fan of dresses, and I always find THE dress at LolaLiza. I always see beautiful dresses with prints that are perfect for everyday life. I love having a wardrobe with good basics, but every season I add one or two pieces that are a little more original to boost my looks, and Lolaliza is the perfect place for that. -Axelle
Alessia (Influencer, content creator)
Alessia is 31 years old and lives in Liege. She’s an influencer, content creator and this year she will be celebrating her 10th anniversary of blogging.
Spontaneous and optimistic, that’s how Alessia describes herself. The nice thing about her is that she is never negative, even in the most complicated of situations. She always tries to see the positive in everything. Physically she had learned to love herself. When you're a teenager, you have a few complexes that consume you, and over time, she really learned to appreciate the little flaws about herself. It's not easy every day because there are days when she’s not in the mood and it carries a lot of weight, but over time she has learned to love who she is.
The Instagram accounts she loves to follow are Coucou Les Girls (@coucoulesgirls), and Shera Kerienski (@shera). They are women who have learned to appreciate themselves for who they are. They communicate about body positivity in a casual way and that's what Alessia likes about them.
Alessia’s go to fashion tip is just to wear whatever you like! It’s as simple as that, we don’t have to make our life harder. If you feel good in your outfit, just wear it!
My LolaLiza must haves are: a nice high-waisted jeans that fits my shape, because they are hard to find. Jeans are THE thing to have in your wardrobe, they are timeless. Personally, I like all jackets, little "bombers". I like that it always dresses up an outfit, whether it's classic or with prints. It's the thing to have for that little extra touch in your look. And the third piece would be a beige trench coat. It goes with everything and it fits every shape. It gives a slightly classy look but you can accessorize it in your own way. I have a streetstyle and I often wear my trench coat with sneakers or easy wear. The trench coat gives a classic touch to the look. - Alessia
