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!

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

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.

Hair Trends: Rainbow Colored Hair

I've got a new obsession. Yes, a new one, rainbow colored hair.  I am fascinated by the women who are bold enough to do this look. I did my own bold look two summers ago when I went a very daring red.   I am actually antsy and really want to try pink and blue and green...need I say more? LOL!  Because I have to keep my looks under wraps (at least for the next couple of months) so that I don't scare the very conservative people I work with.  I cannot be really "loud" with my hair.  In my heart I am a child of adventure and do not let others bother me but I must admit there are times when "they" will suppress my spirit. These days though I'm happy to say that I'm learning to live in the moments and I am again learning to let me be me. So yes, I will find a way to try new colors and I do like rainbow colors! How exciting. What I do like about rainbow colors are that there are some that are really LOUD , and others that make a statement without be...

Does Sustainable Fashion have a Future?

Being environmentally conscious is something I am learning to do and it is fast becoming a favorite topic of mine curvy divas . I believe that as time changes we are all learning to not just be aware of our environment but to act to protect it as well! We have to change our attitudes and behavior in our lifestyle so as to consciously help ourselves. Last month H&M along with Vogue put together a panel of fashionably conscious people participated in a live discussion held at The New School for Design at Parson's, about "How can we create a more sustainable fashion future".   Once again I turned to one of my favorite online fashion source, Refinery29  where writer Glynnis Mapp shared more about this outstanding event!  The panel discussed ways we as consumers could practice sustainability in fashion, and also how the government could be involved. There was suggestion of a "by the pound incentive program for consumers..." and where "points" could...
