Zara Stores...American Women too fat?!

Zara Sizes for women
I have seen these stores before, Zara, and their clothing look pretty nice. I don't recall going into one of them and perhaps it is a good thing!  Thursday on Good Morning America (GMA) it was reported that Zara stores won't expand further opening more stores here in the US because American Women waistlines are too big! Really?!

The store's main clientele is smaller sized women.  They do well in Europe and Asia, but not so great here because they don't carry sizes for the curvy divas in the United States!  Proof in point, there were two fashion bloggers with the Journalist reporting, who were size 18-20 and could fit into an XL most times.  When they tried the clothing at Zara, they couldn't even fit an XL. The reporter who wasn't a larger woman by any means, just fit into the XL!  They do make their sizes too small! As noted by the model from the article I read below.  She's a size 4/6! So even a smaller sized woman or a regular sized woman doesn't fit into their design!

I say we don't take this lying down curvy divas.  It's an insult to our intelligence, plus size curvy divas are fashion mavens and we love to shop too!  Our money is just as good as the next woman's.   The market for curvy diva fashions is still so small.  When are these retailers going to get it?   Our market is a strong one.  It's time they stop making us feel as if we're not important!  We shouldn't stand for that! Zara retail, shame on you!

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!   ...

30 Coats: One for every day of the cold season

As Winter comes around the corner for some, and is already here for others, what is the best thing (after my favorite, boots) that some fashionistas look forward to? Well curvy divas , have you thought about it yet?  Coat season of course!  I'm sure by now you know that there is a coat for every type of cold-weather day! On Purewow.com they featured 30 different coats you can wear , think of it as a daily guide for at least one month of coat-wearing during the cold season!  They have defined for each type of cold-weather day a coat or jacket you can wear! When it's Crisp outside, a bit cooler than the hot weather we are still feeling here in Orlando, then it's time to take out your blazer ! Mossimo's brown leather fur collar jacket When it gets blustery outside, a lot colder than just a chill in the air, hello Bomber jackets !   I agree that this style is the "it" jacket, because of its edgy style ! http://www.oldnavy.com/products/outerwear-...
