Curvy Divas at the Golden Globes & Other Favorite Fashion Moments

The Golden Globes Awards were on Sunday night curvy divas, and being one of my favorite award shows, hosted by two of my favorite comediennes, Tina Fey & Amy Poehler, I had to watch!   Loving fashion as much as I do, I tuned in to see what the actresses were wearing on the red carpet.  They turned out in their finest gowns and jewelry.  It was great to see bright colors as worn by Sandra Bullock in Prabal Gurung (pictured below), Amy Adams (pictured below) in Valentino and Julie Bowen in Carolina Herrera, wore color-blocked gowns.

Julia Roberts wore Dolce & Gabbana, I loved that she wore a white button down shirt with her strapless gown. The fashion commentators hated it, but who cares?!  She loved it and rocked her style with confidence.

Kerry Washington was the best looking baby-mama on the carpet for me.  I liked her Balenciaga gown which was appropriate and flattering for her pregnancy.

Sophia Vergara wore the best statement necklace, a turquoise collar by her favorite red carpet jeweler, Lorraine Schwartz; and a Zac Posen ballgown was beautiful

This actress' look was a crowd favorite and I agree.  Lupita Nyong'o wore her dress well!

The three notable curvy divas on the red carpet at the Golden Globes, namely, Gabourey Sidibe, Melissa McCarthy and Lena Dunham, were quite varied in their styles. I like that they each took their own style risks while staying true to who they were.

Our curvy divas didn't get a lot of love from the fashion commentators, or even the viewers, which was rather sad. Being "out there"(society) in the limelight as a woman who doesn't fit the mold of what Hollywood demands can be quite a daunting task, however, these women are doing it - rock on curvy divas! 

What do you think curvy divas? Whose look did you like best?  Do you agree with what was said about what our curvy actresses wore?

How to Wear Glitter in the Daytime

Have you ever worn sequin aka glitter?  It is pretty much a trend in fashion these days.  Glitter is worn mostly at nights and for real special and dressier occasions. But not so today curvy divas. Glitter can also be worn during the day!  I've worn glitter during the day time before and I try to make it look as understated as possible!  You don't need too much accessories when you wear glitter.  It is pretty much how you put your outfit together! On Elle.com Amanda Fitzsimons interviewed designer Marissa Webb who is known for using sequins during the daytime!  Amanda wanted to know if this look (daytime glitter) can really work? Marissa said it definitely can and thinks it is in how shine the sequinned (or glittered) garment that choose to wear is. It is not just in the size of the beadings at all! I tend to agree with her.   I don't think a really shiny sequinned garment on its own, would work for daytime. That would definitely be overkill! ...

Fall 2012 Trends

Summer is not yet over but already the fashion world has moved on, for some time now, to Fall !  I love to peruse any information I see about Fall Fashions before the season begins too; learning what the colors and styles will be, and to see if there are any trends to follow. Where trends are concerned, I firmly believe that it is best to choose the look that will work best for you.  You can follow a trend, but you should tweak it to make it your own! This is how you discover your own sense of style! I love receiving emails from Ken Downing, Fashion Director for Neiman Marcus !  He shared quite a lot of details in his latest E-mail newsletter to me!  To start off, one of Fall's fashion trend will be the: Statement Handbag : Michael Kors Skorpios Haircalf Ring Tote - $1,695 from Neiman Marcus on neimanmarcus.com Yes, animal print continues even into the Fall season!  Budget conscious divas will do what we do best and shop around for th...
