Happy Blogoversary!!!!

One year ago today, on May 30, 2012, I decided to start this blog. It has been a roller-coaster ride! My intent was to share my love of fashion for women my size and to also showcase fashion finds on a budget! Our direction continues to improve as we include more content, and we continue to learn and grow as we blog-a-long! I started out with 7 viewers/readers/clicks (I'm still learning how that works)! And have progressed to a viewership/readership/clicks of up to 141 on a good article!

It is great to know that so many readers do stop by to see what I am talking about and it is always good to know that someone out there on the Intraweb reads my blog! I am learning as I go, tweaking here and there to become what I want this blog to be.

Another thing I have learned is that posting photos from other websites can be tricky. Going back to some of my past postings, have missing photographs, not a good thing! I am working on preventing that from happening with my future articles!

I don't claim to be a fashion expert or on par with the popular fashionista bloggers on the web (at least, not yet). However, the good thing that comes out of me having a fashion blog is I learn so much about what is going on in the world of fashion, and I get to share all of it and more with you curvy divas!

Cheers to another great year of fashion blogging!

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...
