Trend alert: White bags

You're not thinking about this right now curvy divas because you're probably frozen-in somewhere with no where to go. But think about this, you in your best spring or summer outfit, and the best looking white handbag out there that will make you strut, not walk! Can you visualize that image yet?  Hmmm, I can. And if you can't, lets get you out of the doldrums and forget about the icicles forming around you.  Here are some tips I wanted to share on how you should be wearing your white handbags in the seasons to come.

  • When wearing your white bag the best fabric to wear are knits, nylons, and satin.  Do you know why?  The dye from other types of material can rub off on your bag, and there's nothing like spoiling your best pocketbook* and not being able to clean that navy ink off.

  • It's also better to wear any other color shoes but white when you wear a white handbag. I've seen a few people do this. While there's nothing wrong, other than perhaps the "nurse effect", it is much better to wear any other color but white on your feet.

  • When buying your white handbag, choose leather or a coated canvas, where stain or dirt won't get to it easily.  I would also choose a cloth one because I could throw it into the washing machine....unless it has lots of hardware, then it's a hand wash!


Doesn't Victoria Beckham looks really great here?!  Note the color of her shoes.

If you have never worn a white handbag before, don't be afraid to do so.  In fact, let 2014 be the year that you step out of your comfort zone. Remember, resolutions, and all that jazz!  Are you feeling warmer and more excited?  I hope so. Now, show us your white handbags....

Wearing Red

It's Valentine's Day again and I'm sure many of you curvy divas are wondering what to wear tonight?  Some of us have plans, but others will keep it low keyed at home...or not! Whatever you do curvy divas, I found some great suggestions on Elle.com!  They featured RED , in everything, accessories, clothing, make up, even underwear!  Here are my favorite picks! I LOVE this dress! The silhouette is beautiful and will flatter most body types!  I checked and this item doesn't go larger than a size 12 by the designer, and they are out of this style at Neiman Marcus, however, it's a great look and you can find something similar elsewhere!  If it is too long, find a shorter length.

The Best Hair Color for You

You choose your outfit with care, down to the shoes you wear for that particular look.  You put your makeup on, and now it's time for your hair.....why is it not looking its best?  Everything that you do in trying to style it, is just so wrong!  You're ready to scream or pull your hair out!!!! Have you ever had a bad hair day?  I know I have, more than once!  Usually, if I'm lucky, I'll have time to wear a hat, a wig or pin my hair in a way to make it work!  It doesn't matter who you are, for every woman, if your hair isn't at its best, you will not be too ! When you have your hair, as some might say "did" or "done" you know you will be at your fabulously curvy best !  One of the  things I like to do is color my hair. Yes, it's chemical, so I guess I'm not totally au naturel!  You can try a rinse, which is a way to temporarily color your hair with a new look, or you can use a permanent color and rock your hair the way you want! ...
