Curvy events: Get your Curve On - Curve Nation Welcome Reception

This blogger had the pleasure of attending Curve Nation's Welcome Reception, day 1 of their fashion weekendheld at the International Palms Resort.  When I walked into the hotel conference center this evening (Friday, June 11th) I was greeted by a bevy of very beautiful women.

The look, the cut, Miss Pinky's got it!



The atmosphere was one of expectation and fun, fun, fun curvy divas!  I was impressed with the selection of merchandise the Artisans who will be at the EXPO tomorrow (Saturday, July 12th) has to offer.  Quite a few of these entrepreneurs make their own stuff!  From natural, organic soaps by Two Sisters Soaps & Sundries, to clothing and jewelry by Lipstick Killer Collection & Beyond the Curves Boutique.










This creative and gorgeous bodycon dress is from Beyond the Curves Boutique
Yes, our curvy bodies can fit these curvy styles, exactly what Beyond the Curves Boutique had in mind for us with the clothing they sell! 

There was also a plethora of make up and skin care mavens whose natural & cruelty free products promises to enhance our skin.  Anti-aging skin care by M3K beauty, Kim Johnston created this line after getting fed up with the products being offered for women that did nothing much in making her feel and look better.  M3K beauty is also a co-sponsor of this event. 

Younique Products, a no cruelty, naturally free makeup and skin care line; Brushes of Beauty by Angelia StevensonJay Jill Cosmetics has products geared for everyone and particularly for African American skin.

Other make up consultants and lines I had the pleasure of meeting:
Willen Buchholz and Karolyn Hughs, Independent Beauty Consultants from Mary Kay


Jessie from Black Sheep Cosmetics

Pure Romance by Ebony Johnson



KKJewels



Love the name of this boutique!

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!

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.

How to Wear Glitter in the Daytime

Have you ever worn sequin aka glitter?  It is pretty much a trend in fashion these days.  Glitter is worn mostly at nights and for real special and dressier occasions. But not so today curvy divas. Glitter can also be worn during the day!  I've worn glitter during the day time before and I try to make it look as understated as possible!  You don't need too much accessories when you wear glitter.  It is pretty much how you put your outfit together! On Elle.com Amanda Fitzsimons interviewed designer Marissa Webb who is known for using sequins during the daytime!  Amanda wanted to know if this look (daytime glitter) can really work? Marissa said it definitely can and thinks it is in how shine the sequinned (or glittered) garment that choose to wear is. It is not just in the size of the beadings at all! I tend to agree with her.   I don't think a really shiny sequinned garment on its own, would work for daytime. That would definitely be overkill! ...
