Fall Fashion Color Report

When it comes to designs and fashions curvy divas, do you know that choosing the colors is more than just the designs worn on the models walking down the runway?  In fact, you would never think these words and color choices go hand-in-hand would you, textile, colorist, Pantone?  Absolutely! There is so much involved, that even I, with only a year into blogging about my love for fashion, have not totally grasped the entire concept of it all!

One of the things I have learned is that twice a year, a decision is made as to the color palettes that will set the trends! It is out of this palette that the favorite color is chosen, as Emerald was for 2013! Pantone LLC is the global authority that sets the standards for colors for the design industry according to Fashion Trendsetter! See link below:

Included in the colors for this year are the front runner, Emerald, a blue called, Mykonos Blue; Acai (a purple hue); Samba (red); Koi (an orange hue); Vivacious (a bright pink); deep Lichen Green (that looks like grey to me); Carafe (a dark coffee hue); and Turbulence (a dark grey)!

The color choices are not made only for women's fashion, but for men's as well! To read the full report, follow the link above!

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!   ...

30 Coats: One for every day of the cold season

As Winter comes around the corner for some, and is already here for others, what is the best thing (after my favorite, boots) that some fashionistas look forward to? Well curvy divas , have you thought about it yet?  Coat season of course!  I'm sure by now you know that there is a coat for every type of cold-weather day! On Purewow.com they featured 30 different coats you can wear , think of it as a daily guide for at least one month of coat-wearing during the cold season!  They have defined for each type of cold-weather day a coat or jacket you can wear! When it's Crisp outside, a bit cooler than the hot weather we are still feeling here in Orlando, then it's time to take out your blazer ! Mossimo's brown leather fur collar jacket When it gets blustery outside, a lot colder than just a chill in the air, hello Bomber jackets !   I agree that this style is the "it" jacket, because of its edgy style ! http://www.oldnavy.com/products/outerwear-...
