What I wear in a Day - Spring has Sprung!

It is practically Summer isn't it curvy divas? I live in a sunny state, and it is that way 90% of the times. We do however, have our rainy seasons, hurricanes, and even cold to freezing days! Recently I decided it was time to put my boots and sweaters away. After all, Spring has been here and is practically over!

I wanted something light, fun but work-worthy to wear to work and decided on a jacket that I happen to have two of, just because! You know, just because you love a style, and especially if it was on sale when you were purchasing it, why not get two....."just because"!lol!

These are bolero jackets by Apt. 9 from Kohl's (there's a light pink blouse under the grey jacket)

It falls about mid waist, and because it is a loose fit , covers my curves and gives me a great silhouette!

See the details on the neckline

Press-on button detail!

Elbow-length sleeves - note the rounded neckline!

The back

The back at the hemline (a pink blouse is underneath)

I decided on the bright Coral, great choice for the day! I wore black tank top and black trousers, note my pearl bracelet!

Sorry, no full portrait, as you know, I take my own photos (99% of the time)!

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...
