The Leather Trend: You Need These in Your Closet

I'm fascinated by leather, are you curvy divas?  It is the smell, look and feel that makes it such a fascinating clothing choice.  The versatility of leather is boundless! You can wear any leather item in your closet with anything, which girl (or guy) doesn't like that?!  

I was perusing elle.com recently and found an article about what else....LEATHER! I had to share it with you.  

I saw these shoes and immediately thought "Oh my shoegasm"! These heels are to die for.  The look, the style...we are shoe lovers after all.

I love the look of this leather bracelet. The hook design means it won't be hard to put on or take off all by myself.  Leather stretches so I can fit it on my wrist. It has a kind of "rocker-chic" look that I like.

This is a bustier that anyone can wear with a jacket, or on its own, if you are daring enough.

These leather shorts are perfect because they have a wrap front which gives it a skort-effect.

The neckline on this leather dress will be a great look for me. It will wear well with a white shirt, a tank or on its own.  The cut is forgiving for my ample waistline and hips...oh yes curvy divas, we can do this! The flare leather dress in that line-up might be a better fit for most because it has a slight flare.  (see the link at the end of this write-up)

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...

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.

This beautiful dress is also not available in larger sizes. It goes to...
