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.


Of these three  celebrities, which looks the best?

  • 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....

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.
