The Price of Beauty

OK Curvy divas as Joan Rivers would say, "Can we talk?"  I mean real talk from one curvy diva to another! You and I both know that it is great to find good deals on the clothing and accessories we buy.  Heck, it's fabulous when we find a bargain on anything within a budget we can afford!

Take for example from the master of all foundation garments, Spanx!  

the Bra-llelujah bra:




For some things, I'm sure that you are willing to pay, within reason-and at the right price of course, to own an item you really love, desire or need! For the plus size diva, our reality is, sometimes we have to pay more for an item of clothing than the regular size woman does.  While I don't mind doing that for an item that is absolutely a "need", I don't necessarily do it all of the time, unless in my head I'm telling myself "you deserve this"!  "And we do don't we?" (stage whisper!)

So clothing we usually don't mind paying more for, are foundation garments including brassieres; as well as shoes; and even hosiery (you still wear them right?).  Other items us divas usually don't balk at paying more for are that great suit or jacket and let's not forget a really good pocketbook (handbag)!

Although we are willing to pay for the price of beauty we do love a great bargain!

So we hunt around until we find:

the back support bra from Just My Size:

and then we may even pick up one more for the great bargains we find!

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!   ...

30 Coats: One for every day of the cold season

As Winter comes around the corner for some, and is already here for others, what is the best thing (after my favorite, boots) that some fashionistas look forward to? Well curvy divas , have you thought about it yet?  Coat season of course!  I'm sure by now you know that there is a coat for every type of cold-weather day! On Purewow.com they featured 30 different coats you can wear , think of it as a daily guide for at least one month of coat-wearing during the cold season!  They have defined for each type of cold-weather day a coat or jacket you can wear! When it's Crisp outside, a bit cooler than the hot weather we are still feeling here in Orlando, then it's time to take out your blazer ! Mossimo's brown leather fur collar jacket When it gets blustery outside, a lot colder than just a chill in the air, hello Bomber jackets !   I agree that this style is the "it" jacket, because of its edgy style ! http://www.oldnavy.com/products/outerwear-...
