Six Rules to Follow

We already perused having patterns and prints in our fashion wardrobe for the Summer.  However, we have to know how to wear them!  According to Styletips101 there are "6 Rules to Wearing Prints" that we should follow!  

No. 1 - "We should wear one print at a time"

 I agree with this somewhat.  If you're not afraid of making fashion statements or not afraid of the attention that comes with being a fashion statement, I say go ahead and wear your prints, any way you want to!  My rule of thumb here is to keep them in the same color family or in a color family that will blend well when worn together!  And if your patterns are similar, you will be a fashion hit!  See the following  image by photographer David Roemer for the New York Times; Styling by Susan Joy.

No. 2 - "Start with Accessories"

I agree with this fully!  First of all, as a lover of accessories, that's the safest way to introduce prints and patterns into your wardrobe curvy divas! In the previous article, I also featured accessories that would be a fun way to start with!  


No. 3 - "Animal Prints" - when wearing it, "it is better to pair it with only black".

I say, again, it depends - on how busy your pattern is. On what you're wearing and on how you wear it!  Just put the outfit together carefully and you will find the style that will make you a fabulously diva!

No. 4 - "Keep it Classy"

No disagreement here! You don't want to look like a, dare I say it?  A circus freak!  You want to look well put together and stylish, not over the top!


No. 5 - "Fitted Prints" 

Wearing prints that are not too large and in styles that are not too full-bodied can actually be slimming!  Another thing to note curvy divas, smaller prints can be quite flattering!


No. 6 - "Big prints and little prints" - According to the author of the article at styletips101 (no name given),  "Big prints make you look bigger, smaller prints are more forgiving" 

I agree with her points! As I mentioned above, smaller prints can be more flattering.  However, there are prints and patterns on a larger scale that are fun to wear as long as you know what to wear and how to wear them!  Don't be afraid to refer to magazines and check online for tips on how to wear your style! And above all curvy divas, have fun!

Backstage at OIFW Model Casting Call

On Saturday, yesterday in fact, I had the pleasure of attending a casting call for models , an event organized and hosted by Fierce Entertainment Management for their upcoming Orlando International Fashion Week, November  2-8, 2014 . Attendees at the event were welcomed by Fierce Entertainment's, Rob Henlon who then handed the program over to the vivacious Kristania Vielot who instructed the aspiring models for their walk down the runway, strutting their stuff for the designers and other members of the Fierce team. As the models strutted to the sound of the music-mix pumping, guests sipped and ate refreshments that were provided.   Before they walked the impromptu runway, I had a little  tête-à-tête   with three of the young models, Logan-9, Ashley-6 and Aiden-4,  beautiful, cute, and adorable , (who won't want me to call them that, but I am because they were) whose future will lead them to become what they dream of!   ...
