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)

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!

Backstage at OIFW Model Casting Call

On Saturday, yesterday in fact, I had the pleasure of attending a casting call for models , an event organized and hosted by Fierce Entertainment Management for their upcoming Orlando International Fashion Week, November  2-8, 2014 . Attendees at the event were welcomed by Fierce Entertainment's, Rob Henlon who then handed the program over to the vivacious Kristania Vielot who instructed the aspiring models for their walk down the runway, strutting their stuff for the designers and other members of the Fierce team. As the models strutted to the sound of the music-mix pumping, guests sipped and ate refreshments that were provided.   Before they walked the impromptu runway, I had a little  tête-à-tête   with three of the young models, Logan-9, Ashley-6 and Aiden-4,  beautiful, cute, and adorable , (who won't want me to call them that, but I am because they were) whose future will lead them to become what they dream of!   ...

Lacquered: Move over Glossy, Matte Nails are in!

Did you ever think that trend would be in nail polishes too?   According to Purewow, the Matte Finish not only comes as a nail polish, but also as a Top Coat! They recommend that we first try the top coat in matte finish to see if we like the look.  You can apply it over your regular nail color of the week and have matte-finished nails! Top Coat in Matte Finish SHOP The budget-friendly and cautious side of me agrees this would be a safe way to see if you do like the look (although at $19 each there's nothing cheap about it!) and just in case you don't want to splurge on every color in the line of matte finishes, I guess i...
