Edgy Fashionista!

You know what I'm tired of curvy divas?  I'm tired of Society telling me what I can and cannot wear. I'm sick of seeing models who should be plus sized and they're not, modeling clothes that is supposed to fit a curvy woman! How am I going to tell how that clothing really looks on my curvy behind if the model who is showing it has none?  I'm also tired of not finding really stylish clothing in curvy diva sizes!!!  That's the three I'll list for now and I'll stop right there!

I like to dress with not just style but with a bit of a "pop" thrown in too.  That means I love to accessorize, and they don't usually match.  I love to color coordinate but not in a "matchy-matchy" type of way.  I love to dress up, most of the times.  As someone commented to me recently, "I guess you dress according to your moods". Yes I do and there's nothing wrong with that!

I was looking around on the Intraweb at the different styles and looks being offered to Plus Sized divas, it's a bit of both world, some were too tame and too door-mat, while others were just not the right type for everyone!  I wanted to see clothing with a bit more, let's say "edge" to them.  Not just being trendy, but clothing that would let a curvy diva be herself, whoever she is! She would put those clothes on and not just rock the look, she would own it!

I found these gorgeous and fun fashion on dominodollhouse.com!

You know you're always told if you have large hips you should wear a plain skirt or pants..i.e., no embellishment....not always! This skirt would definitely work, with the right top!  (wear a simple top that doesn't clash with the look of this style and you're good to go!)


Bowout Skirt in Lavender stripes - $48.99


I would also wear this dress!   It can be worn to work, w/jacket or cardigan...or without!  It's also a great party dress!

Peter Pan Trapeze dress in black & white stripes - $59.99


My favorite so far...beautiful! I would wear it with jeans!
Red Birthday Bash Mini Dress - $169.99

I love, LOVE this skirt! Too bad my size is sold out! But can't you see you rocking this curvy diva?  And guess what the back of it looks like....  ?
Pin Up Perfection Pencil Skirt - $39.95 

........Beautiful!

Don't let anyone dictate your look or style.  Be who you want to be.  Find the look that works for you and that you're comfortable with and go for it!

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!

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!   ...

Lacquered: Move over Glossy, Matte Nails are in!

In Purewow's Beauty section online, I read with interest that the new trend for nails this fall will be the matte finished,  as in shine-free!  Well move over glossy & shiny!  Remember curvy divas , there is matte makeup ; matte lipstick ; I even remember the matte finish jewelry trend , and now we have matte nail polishes!! Did you ever think that trend would be in nail polishes too?   According to Purewow, the Matte Finish not only comes as a nail polish, but also as a Top Coat! They recommend that we first try the top coat in matte finish to see if we like the look.  You can apply it over your regular nail color of the week and have matte-finished nails! Top Coat in Matte Finish SHOP The budget-friendly and cautious side of me agrees this would be a safe way to see if you do like the look (although at $19 each there's nothing cheap about it!) and just in case you don't want to splurge on every color in the line of matte finishes, I guess i...
