Size Matters

I find it interesting that so many regular designers or popular stores do not carry full curvy diva sizes. In this day and age, don't you think they should? Take for example, an email I received from one of my online subscriptions, Shop it To Me. They featured several styles with budget-friendly prices from a couple of brands that I like.  
Victoria's Secret Flirty Skirt - $9.99
Take for example this Victoria's Secret flirty skirt, it's listed on clearance for $9.99!  Wow what a deal!  Although it comes in size XL, their XL is a size 16!  It wouldn't work for some of us now would it?  However, if it does for you, great buy! :)

Banana Republic's Heritage Georgette Blouse in Cocoon - $59.99
This beautiful blouse from Banana Republic is great to wear with pants, skirt or shorts.  The size is available in XL a size 16.  [Sizing for curvy divas at Banana Republic runs, 12 L; 14 L & 16 XL]



                                    a beautiful V-Neck Kimono top from Michael Kors - $49.99


I love when popular retailers and designers have sales like these! [Sizing for curvy divas from Michael Kors runs, 12/14 L - He sometimes have an XL]


While some of us will fit into a Size 16 XL,  unfortunately, the sizing might not be available for everyone.  This is where we prove our creativity fabulously curvy divas, we go out there and find the styles in our sizes and budgets!  I give a big kudos though, for those brands who even have an XL/16 in their styles!

Window Shopping Part Deux - What I Chose

As you know from my last article , I went shopping for swimsuit with my teen Mandi and ended up doing the same for myself. After all, I was in need of a new bathing suit. My last purchase for one was from Target eight years ago! And also during that time, I was the lucky recipient of two new suits from my BSFFL (Best Sister Friend For Life) who visited from Europe! So Those have lasted quite a long time!

A Re-post: Red Carpet Reviews - 2013 American Music Awards

Another post of mine that was a write up for Orlando Fashion Week Magazine.  It was published there previously.  If you missed it, I'm sharing it again here on my blog for the first time, with some edits for relevance of course curvy divas. A writer's work is never done! Let me know which celebrity wore your favorite style! Did you watch last year's AMAs? Me too!  It was one of the best with my favorite Mr. Worldwide, Pitbull as host.  Did you catch the fashion that walked the red carpet?  No? Well, pull up a chair and I'll fill you in. At the 2012 award show, Christina Aguilera was beautiful in all her curvyness in a Pamella Roland dress, unfortunately, she went overboard on the suntan lotion.  Last year, she showed off a much leaner physique in a white Maria Lucia Hohan cut-out dress with a high split on the side.  Her shoes were Christian Louboutin peep-toe and I loved her pave jewelry.

How to Wear Glitter in the Daytime

Have you ever worn sequin aka glitter?  It is pretty much a trend in fashion these days.  Glitter is worn mostly at nights and for real special and dressier occasions. But not so today curvy divas. Glitter can also be worn during the day!  I've worn glitter during the day time before and I try to make it look as understated as possible!  You don't need too much accessories when you wear glitter.  It is pretty much how you put your outfit together! On Elle.com Amanda Fitzsimons interviewed designer Marissa Webb who is known for using sequins during the daytime!  Amanda wanted to know if this look (daytime glitter) can really work? Marissa said it definitely can and thinks it is in how shine the sequinned (or glittered) garment that choose to wear is. It is not just in the size of the beadings at all! I tend to agree with her.   I don't think a really shiny sequinned garment on its own, would work for daytime. That would definitely be overkill! ...
