Your Best Sweater Choices Ever!

Are you feeling it yet?  That cold breeze nipping at you that makes you shiver~brrr~? Although I live in Florida curvy divas, it does get cooler here too.  Sometimes it gets really cold!  It has gotten as cold as 34 degrees, and for this warm weather climate, THAT is COLD!  Although I've lived in a colder climate before, I haven't lived in an extended cold climate for 10 years now. So, even feeling a bit of breeze at 50 degrees, is COLD to me!

Lauren Bernstein on Glamour.com/fashion wrote an article on the Best Sweater for Your Body Type and shared the best sweaters for us curvy girls, and every other body types should wear! We sometimes tend to over do it whenever we're trying to downplay our curves.  Some of us will wear clothing that is too large and loose, which tends to add too much volume to our shapes.


Diagonal waist sweater is very slimming! You could pair this with a straight skirt, legging or jeans.

This is by The Limited on eloquii.com in sizes 12-24 - $55



This sweater, long in back & shorter in front, will make your legs look longer! This is even perfect if you want to camouflage your derriere, or even make it look cuter!  Definitely worn with pants or leggings, not skirt.



DKNY Jeans on lanebryant.com - XS-XL; 14/16 - 26/28 - $69-$79


Love this color!  It's great to take the attention away from your lower body. Wear this with a darker color pants or leggings.  A line skirt of any length would also work!


Joe Fresh on joefresh.com - XS-XL - $79



This one would also help to focus the looks away from your legs!

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!   ...

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!

Shoes, Fabulous Shoes!

Men of the world, there's one thing you must know, shoes makes the outfit, that's why we women have a variety of  them! In  my quest for nude-colored shoes this season, here are two looks I love from Elle.com "Best Spring Heels" feature. Suede wide-strap wedges from the Gap - $89.99 [Mark  Platt photo] You can never go wrong with Platforms!  If you love having a high heel without the stilts, wedges are the way to go! Paulina Cork Sandal heels from Bebe - $98.00 [Mark Platt photo] Although the linked article is from last year, the color and style are pretty on point for today's look!  The height of the heel is balanced by the platform at the base of the shoe.  Take ...
