Fall 2012 Trends

Summer is not yet over but already the fashion world has moved on, for some time now, to Fall!  I love to peruse any information I see about Fall Fashions before the season begins too; learning what the colors and styles will be, and to see if there are any trends to follow.

Where trends are concerned, I firmly believe that it is best to choose the look that will work best for you.  You can follow a trend, but you should tweak it to make it your own! This is how you discover your own sense of style!

I love receiving emails from Ken Downing, Fashion Director for Neiman Marcus!  He shared quite a lot of details in his latest E-mail newsletter to me!  To start off, one of Fall's fashion trend will be the:
Statement Handbag:

Michael Kors Skorpios Haircalf Ring Tote - $1,695

from Neiman Marcus on neimanmarcus.com
Yes, animal print continues even into the Fall season!  Budget conscious divas will do what we do best and shop around for the look at the cost that will fit our budgets! (or wait for NM's sales which can be quite the bargain!)

Guess what other trend continues into Fall?  Patterns & Prints! But this time Digital Prints!  

Lavinia One-Shoulder Dress - $550

from Neiman Marcus on neimanmarcus.com

If you take a closer look at this dress, you'll see just how beautiful it is. Unfortunately I do not see a size over 12; but I did notice others that were size 14s, such as the cocktail dress below:


Sequinned Taffeta Cocktail Dress - $398
from Neiman Marcus on neimanmarcus.com

Are you thinking about those holiday parties yet?  Me neither! But don't let that stop you from thinking about them!

Other trends for Fall are: Mixed Greens! That is, the color green in any look you like!  You can wear the different shades of green and even mix them up! I've done that before.
Etro green turtle neck and green tweed boot-cut pants - $430 & $845
from Neiman Marcus on neimanmarcus.com

Navy will be the new neutral! 
We don't always have to wear black!
Alice + Olivia Asymmetric Silk Top - $198
from Neiman Marcus on neimanmarcus.com


Women in men's wear style will be hot! (again!)

 Belstaff Weskit Quilted Vest, Ascot Georgette Blouse & Derby                  Stretch-Tweed pants -$195-$1295                       from Neiman Marcus on neimanmarcus.com

I love men's wear trousers!

Next trend, a pair of must-have-flats!
But not just any 'ole' flats, The Smoking Slipper!
Prada's The Cavallino Side-logo flats -  $690
from Neiman Marcus on neimanmarcus.com


And last but not least on the Trend List for Fall, A Brooch!
Fragments Deco Star Brooch - $125
from Neiman Marcus at neimanmarcus.com

Ooooh, I LOVE baubles!!!! 

There you have it curvy divas, the Fall Trend list from Neiman Marcus' Ken Downing!  He's got great taste! Now your mission is, to shop and treat yourself to one or two or more of these items, and remember you can shop and compare to suit your diva needs!

Hair Trends: Natural Hair Spring Social in Orlando

Picture this if you will curvy divas, a beautiful and balmy Sunday afternoon in sunny Orlando .  A nice drive into a great neighborhood where, as you continue to drive you are greeted with tree lined, brick streets.  I was very excited to attend the recent Natural Hair & Beauty Expo Spring Social hosted by Natashia E. Ford and Donna Benton of Chase Ford Productions , held at the Winter Park Club House.  We were seated at round tables in a room with windows that overlooked the park nearby, where a bevy of beautiful ladies sat in all their natural glory. The stylish and colorful attire of the attendees was a delight and quite refreshing from the usual flip flops and shorts that have become a staple for some Floridians because of the heat and unpredictability of the weather.  I gladly helped myself to the refreshing drinks, fruits, and cool finger sandwiches provided by our hostesses.   The beauty expo is an annual event and this year’s featured g...

The Best Hair Color for You

You choose your outfit with care, down to the shoes you wear for that particular look.  You put your makeup on, and now it's time for your hair.....why is it not looking its best?  Everything that you do in trying to style it, is just so wrong!  You're ready to scream or pull your hair out!!!! Have you ever had a bad hair day?  I know I have, more than once!  Usually, if I'm lucky, I'll have time to wear a hat, a wig or pin my hair in a way to make it work!  It doesn't matter who you are, for every woman, if your hair isn't at its best, you will not be too ! When you have your hair, as some might say "did" or "done" you know you will be at your fabulously curvy best !  One of the  things I like to do is color my hair. Yes, it's chemical, so I guess I'm not totally au naturel!  You can try a rinse, which is a way to temporarily color your hair with a new look, or you can use a permanent color and rock your hair the way you want! ...
