The Perfect Transition Dress from Summer to Fall

As the weather continues to do its dance, one day it's piping hot, the next you get whipped by a very cool breeze reminding you that summer is over!  Although it doesn't get as cold here, we do have our colder moments, and wearing clothing that can transition from a very hot day to a cooler morning or evening, and vice versa is essential!

I saw this gorgeous dress at anthropologie.com and fell in love with it immediately curvy divas!  The price is under $100, we can work with that!  The look, the cut, I can even work with the length.  It seems to be very comfortable while remaining stylish.  You can layer it on top with a jacket, or sleeveless vest; or wear a turtle neck or shirt underneath.  Other layering options? Well, a pair of tights with boots, leggings with booties, or dress it up with heels and funky jewelry!

The only thing I am not loving about this dress?  They don't have an XL or any size larger!  So my dear curvy divas, this is when we do what I always recommend, we go shopping for a similar look in our size! Yes you can do it! If you find one, 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!

Love Wedges? How to wear them!

I have this thing with heels that when I mention it to anyone, they look at me as if I'm weird.  I have to, HAVE TO wear heels, at least 80% of the time.    The reason why I have to wear heels a lot is because I'm flat-footed. Yes, I have very low arch , so low that if I wear flats for two to three days straight without any height in heel, my feet will hurt and then I have to wear heels to make my feet feel better. Weird, or a more serious condition? Who knows?!   I wear heel height from 4inches to 6 inches! Nope, I haven't mastered the 7inch heel, and I won't even try.  As a curvy girl, a six-inch heel is the height where I stop! I like wedges, high heels, and stiletto heels.  With some platform heels, popularly called wedges, the heel can be low, or high; however, the main thing is, the heel will balance the height of the heel so that you can walk with confidence!      On about.com, Desiree Stimpe...

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.
