Men Are Plus Sized Too

Yes, they are!  We know it, they know it!  And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that!  Some women like a guy with a little more to him than some!  Hey, it works both ways wouldn't you agree?!  What I don't hear or seen mentioned often though are Plus Sized Men and especially nothing about Plus Sized Men's Fashion...until now curvy divas!

Larger sized men are not even referred to as "Plus Sized" That's reserved for us women!  Men are called "Big and Tall"!   I read with interest an article in the New York Times recently about fashion for the more portly men!  According to the New York Times, men who want fashionable plus sized clothing turn to GQ or to valetmag.com for their style inspiration!  There's also another plus sized website for men, chubstr.com which was founded by Bruce Sturgell in 2011.  Mr. Sturgell started the website much the same way that many websites for plus sized divas were started, because there were none, or hardly any around!  His clients are usually the men, or the women who shop for their men! He offers a lot of insights, interviews and resources!  I even see some plus size divas mentioned!





On Valetmag's website style and fashion abounds!

Under their "Edit" tab they have a "Morning Report" all about style!

You know what I say to that curvy divas?  FABULOUS!  Whether the fashion world wants to admit it or not, it's great to be fabulous, beefy, and curvy!  We have needs and our needs are being met by like-minded fashion-savvy & fashionistas, male and female out there!

Go to the websites I listed above, take a look around, and see what they have to offer for the guy in your life! You can go to the link below to read the New York Times article!

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 th...

Wearing Red

It's Valentine's Day again and I'm sure many of you curvy divas are wondering what to wear tonight?  Some of us have plans, but others will keep it low keyed at home...or not! Whatever you do curvy divas, I found some great suggestions on Elle.com!  They featured RED , in everything, accessories, clothing, make up, even underwear!  Here are my favorite picks! I LOVE this dress! The silhouette is beautiful and will flatter most body types!  I checked and this item doesn't go larger than a size 12 by the designer, and they are out of this style at Neiman Marcus, however, it's a great look and you can find something similar elsewhere!  If it is too long, find a shorter length.

This beautiful dress is also not available in larger sizes. It goes to...
