Found: "Chucks" - Mossimo's Neon Hightop Sneakers

A year ago when I saw these neon-colored Betsey Johnson chucks on fabfitfun.com, I fell in love with them immediately! I love Betsey Johnson's style and I also love bright colors and thought these sneakers were so cool and pinned them to my Shoegasm board on Pinterest.

In the article on FabFitFun where they were featured, they said that we (me and you curvy stylista), could wear them during the Fall as well.  Neons don't have to be only for summer, and I totally agree.   Fast-forward a year later - I found my pair at a consignment/thrift shop and immediately grabbed them up. The good thing for me was, they were brand new!  They were not from Betsey Johnson, they were from Mossimo, another brand that I love to wear, how perfect!

I got the chance to prove FabFitFun right and wore my neon high-tops on one of our cooler days here in Orlando recently.





They are comfortable and stylish, and not too "young" even for me...what do you think?

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. ...

Fashionistas - What's in a Word

You have heard this word before curvy divas , "Fashionistas"?  When it comes to anything to do with fashion and being fashionable, I am sure you have!  Do you know who coined the word and how it came about?  Well, first of all I didn't even realized that there was a story to the word, much less it being "coined" by any one particular person!  I just thought it was one of those words that came about and became popular because of its usage and in reference to anything fashion! According to Elle.com's Culture News, in an article by Rebecca Moss , the word Fashionistas was first created by Stephen Fried. In 1993, Fried, a young Journalist was writing a book about the Model Gia Carangi, who died very young, (sidenote-have you seen the [autobiography] movie of the same name, Gia? - I did and it is one to watch)!  Stephen met with people in the Industry and wanted a word that would represent who and what they were.  Because models and the Industry weren't p...
