The Perfect Swim Suit for our Curvy Bodies!

How many swim suits do you own curvy divas?  One, two...five?!  Or perhaps you only own one because it's only hot in your neck of the woods, for two or three months out of the year?  Well, whatever it is, don't you think it's time you bought new swim suits? Personally speaking, the last time I purchased a new bathing suit was five years ago!!!! Eeek!!!!  I haven't bought anything else because I've been waiting to lose the weight and get more toned....! ~sigh~

Let's table my fitness quest for now and focus on looking at new swim suits - Yeeeeaaahh!  Bettina Prophete  featured swim suits that will be perfect for our curvy bodies in a photo montage entitled, "In The Swim"! in Essence Magazine online.

I want to look this good in my bathing suit, in fact, in any of my photographs!

I haven't worn a two piece in so long, however if I do, it's a tankini. This two piece ensemble, STRIPES in black & white, however has me ready to wear them, at least in the fantasy I am creating in my head.....! This suit would work perfectly for the less curvier divas out there!  If you're an XL w/a firmer tummy, why not? Love handles be damn!

This suit is my favorite! Again, STRIPES!!! I'm passionate about stripes! I consider this one a better alternative to a more fuller curvy diva body type!  If you have a great back, shoulders or arms, even better!

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...
