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!

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...
