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!

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.

Hair Trends: Rainbow Colored Hair

I've got a new obsession. Yes, a new one, rainbow colored hair.  I am fascinated by the women who are bold enough to do this look. I did my own bold look two summers ago when I went a very daring red.   I am actually antsy and really want to try pink and blue and green...need I say more? LOL!  Because I have to keep my looks under wraps (at least for the next couple of months) so that I don't scare the very conservative people I work with.  I cannot be really "loud" with my hair.  In my heart I am a child of adventure and do not let others bother me but I must admit there are times when "they" will suppress my spirit. These days though I'm happy to say that I'm learning to live in the moments and I am again learning to let me be me. So yes, I will find a way to try new colors and I do like rainbow colors! How exciting. What I do like about rainbow colors are that there are some that are really LOUD , and others that make a statement without be...

Does Sustainable Fashion have a Future?

Being environmentally conscious is something I am learning to do and it is fast becoming a favorite topic of mine curvy divas . I believe that as time changes we are all learning to not just be aware of our environment but to act to protect it as well! We have to change our attitudes and behavior in our lifestyle so as to consciously help ourselves. Last month H&M along with Vogue put together a panel of fashionably conscious people participated in a live discussion held at The New School for Design at Parson's, about "How can we create a more sustainable fashion future".   Once again I turned to one of my favorite online fashion source, Refinery29  where writer Glynnis Mapp shared more about this outstanding event!  The panel discussed ways we as consumers could practice sustainability in fashion, and also how the government could be involved. There was suggestion of a "by the pound incentive program for consumers..." and where "points" could...
