Vintage Clothing in Plus Sizes

Lately I've been thinking about vintage wear, especially because I watch Bravo TV a lot and a new program called Decades, features the ups and daily happenings of  their store which specializes in vintage designer clothing for sizes 8 - 0. If they do carry size 10 or 12, they've never mentioned that.  I'm guessing because they cater to a lot of Hollywood starlets. (although in this last episode they had a shoe sale and there were regular people shopping!)

It got me thinking that I do love vintage! I think I have mentioned that before curvy divas, especially because of my love for vintage costume jewelery.  It doesn't have to be from any particular designer, as long as it appeals to my sense of style and is well made!

I thought about getting involved with plus size vintage clothing and wondered if there is such a thing? I realized that there is because of Mod Cloth and Shabby Apple fashions!  I love their sites and have featured their clothing in articles in the past!  But what else would be "out there" I wondered?  So I turned to trusty Google and entered the words "plus size vintage clothing", and yes, they do exist!  I was surprise as the variety! Some I loved immediately, some I didn't like so much.

I came across several vintage plus sized clothing sites and the ones I liked were pinupgirlclothing.com (they do also cater to regular sized divas), and Chicstar.com. 

This is my favorite look at pinupgirlclothing.com:

Chicstar also carries the most darling skirts!


  







I have a Vintage board on Pinterest that I have been pinning some of the fashion I like to.  I will definitely continue to keep pinning my inspirations on to it!  This is one of my favorite jewelery look:

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...
