The Leather Trend

I've heard nothing but talk about leather for this Fall season. It's included in many a designers looks on the Runway recently, and it pops in several magazines as well! How would you wear leather curvy divas?  Would you dress it up, or down?  Accessorize, or not?  It's not the most functional material to wear, if it's not made well. And it can be the most stylish if you put your outfit together in a very chic way!

Here are some leather looks I liked enough  to pin on my Pinterest board:


Ralph Rucci from Nina Garcia's pinterest board (WWD Mag photo)

I see myself in this look, with heels to carry off the length of the skirt. The boots, to party though, not work!





Chloe Quilted Leather Skirt from Bergdorf Goodmanfrom Elle.com fashion trend
This skirt, beautiful and I would wear it with a jacket for work, or a sheer blouse to party!



The look I just couldn't pull off:


Marc Jacobs  Moda Operandi - Nina Garcia's Pinterest Board

This wouldn't look good on me, curvy hips and all!  Plus, what exactly is this look supposed to be anyway?
Maybe worn with jeans,  the leather tank/tunic might work for me?!


The Curvy Fashionista featured leather marketed to us plus size divas on her blog!



Oh yes, real or faux, we CAN rock leather too!

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. Christina Aguilera at the AMAs in 2012 & 2013. ...

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! ...
