Horizontal Stripes and the Curvy Girl

I'm obsessed with stripes! LOL! What am I not "obsessed" with right curvy divas?! It is not about being obsessed though, I'm going to start using the word "passionate" instead, much nicer! So, I'm so very passionate about stripes. Over the years, since I was growing up in fact, I've always heard that girls with hips and too much going on with their bodies, should not wear stripes, especially horizontal stripes.

To that I say...."PFFfftttt"! What's with all these rules for us curvy girls I wonder? I advocate for us to dress the way we want to and be confident in who we are. I'll get off my soap box for now. Take a look at my latest style-look, I wore these to the office recently, on Casual Friday. I wore a white shirt under my dress and belted it. Belting it defined my waist and made me feel oh so chic!

Because my stripes were colorful, (summer fun) I tried not to over-accessorize.

In the look below, I wore a fabulous graphic tee and a maxi stripe skirt!

So what do you think? Does it make my hips look larger? I don't think so. It is all in the way you style yourself my curvy divas. It is also in the confidence you feel in what you wear. So have fun with your look and don't be afraid to try something new!

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!

In Purewow's Beauty section online, I read with interest that the new trend for nails this fall will be the matte finished, as in shine-free! Well move over glossy & shiny! Remember curvy divas , there is matte makeup ; matte lipstick ; I even remember the matte finish jewelry trend , and now we have matte nail polishes!! 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...
