Fashion Jamaican Style

My Island home of Jamaica is also known for its trends in fashion.  You didn't know this curvy divas?  Just attend any event where Jamaicans frequent and you will see some of the most fiercest fashionistas out there!  We do have a sense of style and we love to play with our fashion; and for some, the playing can be from the most demure, the most stylishly trendy, or even the most outlandishly outrageous!

I recently perused online at jamaica-gleaner.com (our local newspaper) a magazine that I remembered reading with avid adoration when I was a young teen, Flair Magazine, a Jamaican Gleaner production!  In an article entitled, "Spring Fashion's Wonderland", using the theme of Alice in Wonderland,  Garfene Grandison, Assistant Lifestyle Coordinator of Flair Magazine with the help of some local fashion bloggers featured fashion trends for Spring 2013!



I love this bold legging in a Harlequin design! (Is this the Queen I wonder?) This legging makes a statement with very bold red shoes and love the envelope purse!




I love that some men are not afraid to wear bold colors! (can you tell this is their Mad Hatter look?!)







Striking a pose!  There seems to be a party going on here!  Hmmm, I wonder which one is Alice?!  Again, bold colors & fashionably trendy!

Wearing Red

It's Valentine's Day again and I'm sure many of you curvy divas are wondering what to wear tonight?  Some of us have plans, but others will keep it low keyed at home...or not! Whatever you do curvy divas, I found some great suggestions on Elle.com!  They featured RED , in everything, accessories, clothing, make up, even underwear!  Here are my favorite picks! I LOVE this dress! The silhouette is beautiful and will flatter most body types!  I checked and this item doesn't go larger than a size 12 by the designer, and they are out of this style at Neiman Marcus, however, it's a great look and you can find something similar elsewhere!  If it is too long, find a shorter length.

The Best Hair Color for You

You choose your outfit with care, down to the shoes you wear for that particular look.  You put your makeup on, and now it's time for your hair.....why is it not looking its best?  Everything that you do in trying to style it, is just so wrong!  You're ready to scream or pull your hair out!!!! Have you ever had a bad hair day?  I know I have, more than once!  Usually, if I'm lucky, I'll have time to wear a hat, a wig or pin my hair in a way to make it work!  It doesn't matter who you are, for every woman, if your hair isn't at its best, you will not be too ! When you have your hair, as some might say "did" or "done" you know you will be at your fabulously curvy best !  One of the  things I like to do is color my hair. Yes, it's chemical, so I guess I'm not totally au naturel!  You can try a rinse, which is a way to temporarily color your hair with a new look, or you can use a permanent color and rock your hair the way you want! ...
