The Large BagTrend - Where to Shop

Several times this year, I've read articles that talks about large handbags being on the "out" and smaller handbags being the "trend".    Well guess what?  If you didn't jump on that trend-wagon, you're still in the running of being fashionable!  Personally, I really don't mind carrying a smaller handbag when I'm going out on the town (aka doing anything else other than running errands)!  Even then I prefer to carry an envelope bag or a scaled-down (in size) handbag which often tends to be on the slightly larger side!  It just depends on what you like curvy divas!  It's great to follow trends, but even better when you make a trend your own!

With this in mind, I was perusing elle.com for their recommendations on larger handbags or totes that will be perfect for you!    Shop the Trend: Large Handbags


My favorite was a Louis Vuitton Lockit MM

Now that is one beautiful tote!  However because my dollars have to suit my needs, I went in search of other places for more budget-friendly choices, with good quality! I found an article on yahoo.com written by Melissa Raineri on Where to shop Trendy Handbags. She recommended three websites for trendy but quality handbags, including baghaus.com and handbag.com!


On Baghaus.com, this gorgeous Hello Kitty bag! At less than a hundred dollars, how devine!

Urban Expressions Le Petite Crossbody

On Handbag.com, the choices are more European inspired, found in the UK!  There inspiration was also a crossbody satchel found at Topshop!

So you see, here in the USA or on the other side of the pond, in the UK, anywhere in the world, you can find that large handbag which is still very much IN!

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! ...
