Vera Wang in Larger Sizes

You might know by now curvy divas, Kohl's is one of my favorite stores to shop! I love it because they carry fabulous names in fashion and fabulous finds for every sizes, including ours! You have seen the other some of the clothes I've gotten from Kohl's but I've never shared my Vera Wang finds...um..not true, I just remembered, I did share it before! My Vera Wang sheath dress (XL) from several seasons ago that I absolutely love to wear! I paired it with leggings, (have worn with jeans or dress pants too)! See the look here:

One of the other items I have from Vera Wang (XL), a long Satin Jacket with Self Sash/Belt. It is knee length and I've worn it with dresses, skirts and pants. Always "out on the town", but never to work. Until recently! I've decided that my clothes will no longer sit in my closet waiting for me to find somewhere "nice" or some "fancy occasion" to wear them! I spend so many hours five days a week at work curvy divas, why can't I wear one or two (or more) items to work? As with anything that I always say to you, choose your style, get the look you love and just go for it!

This black satin jacket has awesome detailing that I really like!

Round neckline, pleat-details down the front!

The label, not great lighting!

Surprise! It has pockets! Great to hold my cellphone! Note the self-belt

I wore a black tank beneath, hooks are in front

Worn with gray pants from Old Navy

A closer look at the neckline!

Three quarter sleeves (to the elbows)

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...
