Vintage Vogue

In March of 2012 before I decided to create this blog, I shared my love for Vogue magazine on my d-foreverserenity blog with the article I am super-imposing below. I have this "thing" for magazines. I won't say obsession...I love the glossy pages, the colors, and usually read them from cover to cover....!

I had so many magazines piled up, I had to get rid of them...and yes, regretted it the minute I did! Anyway, I'm so glad there are online choices now!!!! Takes up less place in my bedroom!lol! I have saved some of my favorite issues, and shared some style inspiration and observation below.

These were my favorite looks from a Vogue magazine issue from August 2006, six years ago in the past, I know, but I have tons of mags and I love flipping through the pages!  These looks are so fresh today!! 


Vogue featured the color combination of  "The Red is the new Black" - red being the new black at the time! Patrick Demarchelier, photographer and model was Christy Turnlington

Burberry  London trench w/a Calvin Klein Collection beaded & embroidery dress


Marc Jacobs sequined dress and charcoal pants -  the tunic & pants look is never a fashion faux pas, even today - one of my favorite go-to style btw!


Leopard print coat in red and black - leopard print is so IN today!

Beautiful red coat...look at the tall boots she's wearing!

This dress, I'm not doing it justice, is red and I love the necklace! [unable to note the designer's name]


Lanvin dynamite red satin shift

Lee Angel necklaces - I LOVE

Ralph Lauren collection brick red Ricky Alligator bag
Remember curvy divas, those looks were in 2006. Flash forward today and those very looks are on trend!  Isn't it great how fashion come full-circle?!  My dream is to see the same looks in a magazine for plus size divas. I know there are magazines and fashion out there that do make us look good. So much has happened over the years, however, there is still so much work to be done in the plus size fashion industry.

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. Christina Aguilera at the AMAs in 2012 & 2013. ...
