My Summer Want List

Last year I created a list of "wants" to add to my summer wardrobe in an article I shared with you curvy divas, My Summer Wish List! Unfortunately two of the photographs are no longer there. However I am happy to report I got the nude shoes I wanted!

Steve Madden Nude Platforms

There are several more fashion wants on my list! I have pinned on my Pinterest board, Want 2013, so far, only a few of the fashion items I want to own for this year, not just for Summer!

A pair of leather leggings! Yes, it's leather or perhaps pleather, if they're not real, but look good enough to be real! Mind you, it is hot in Florida, however, I sit inside in the AC all day...then again, they won't be a wear-to-work item! Who cares....I want them!

These from KOOVS are really great!

KOOVS PU Panelled leggings

I've been lusting after chambray shirts, jeans vest, jeans dress; I finally have the jeans dress! However, the shirt, and the vest, not yet! I like this chambray shirt featured with this Ping skirt, found on anthropologie.com.

Love this look! Ping embroidered skirt

I used to wear espadrilles so much, they were my go-to footwear! That was several years ago! I do still love the look of espadrilles and hope to add a pair to my wardrobe!

Tory Burch Beacher Espadrilles Flats - sold out at shopbop.com!

Last but not least, I want a pair of gold filigree earrings! Preferably the real thing, but I would rock a gold-plated pair just the same!

Check these out:

These are at the Hermitage Museum, as found at theancientworld http://theancientworld.tumblr.com/page/5

I am going to enjoy tracking these "wants" down! Do you have any fashion wants? Do share!

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!

A Re-post: Red Carpet Reviews - 2013 American Music Awards

Another post of mine that was a write up for Orlando Fashion Week Magazine. It was published there previously. If you missed it, I'm sharing it again here on my blog for the first time, with some edits for relevance of course curvy divas. A writer's work is never done! Let me know which celebrity wore your favorite style! Did you watch last year's AMAs? Me too! It was one of the best with my favorite Mr. Worldwide, Pitbull as host. Did you catch the fashion that walked the red carpet? No? Well, pull up a chair and I'll fill you in. At the 2012 award show, Christina Aguilera was beautiful in all her curvyness in a Pamella Roland dress, unfortunately, she went overboard on the suntan lotion. Last year, she showed off a much leaner physique in a white Maria Lucia Hohan cut-out dress with a high split on the side. Her shoes were Christian Louboutin peep-toe and I loved her pave jewelry.

How to Wear Glitter in the Daytime

Have you ever worn sequin aka glitter? It is pretty much a trend in fashion these days. Glitter is worn mostly at nights and for real special and dressier occasions. But not so today curvy divas. Glitter can also be worn during the day! I've worn glitter during the day time before and I try to make it look as understated as possible! You don't need too much accessories when you wear glitter. It is pretty much how you put your outfit together! On Elle.com Amanda Fitzsimons interviewed designer Marissa Webb who is known for using sequins during the daytime! Amanda wanted to know if this look (daytime glitter) can really work? Marissa said it definitely can and thinks it is in how shine the sequinned (or glittered) garment that choose to wear is. It is not just in the size of the beadings at all! I tend to agree with her. I don't think a really shiny sequinned garment on its own, would work for daytime. That would definitely be overkill! ...
