Diversity in Fashion

As read on Refinery29.com, Emily London wrote, "....Debenhams* has worked with inclusivity campaigner and fashion commentator Caryn Franklin, MBE to create a high-summer lookbook featuring men and women from a truly diverse range of backgrounds".    


Wow!  Wow! I'm excited and amazed that they have done this curvy divas!!!!  Not only are they using plus size models, they are using people of all ages, and sizes, as well as paraolympians; the models featured are so varied and oh so beautiful!!!!  

As I read on, Caryn Franklin continued, "To showcase the range of sizes and labels at Debenhams this season, I chose models to inspire us with their own unique looks and personalities. I loved seeing the way that clothes emboldened each woman and man, and I loved being on a shoot where no two models were the same".  Bravo!!!!

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.

Window Shopping Part Deux - What I Chose

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!

There's nothing like a great pair of shoes that finishes an outfit.  You can have on the most darling outfit, but if you don't have the right shoes to go with it, well, somehow you end up feeling like, "Meh", to quote the perfect noncommittal, blah expression! 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 ...
