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. 
Miss Pinky (Full Figure Fashion Model, Ebonie Bennett) surrounded by friends and attendees to the reception

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.

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!

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.

Hair Trends: Rainbow Colored Hair

I've got a new obsession. Yes, a new one, rainbow colored hair.  I am fascinated by the women who are bold enough to do this look. I did my own bold look two summers ago when I went a very daring red.   I am actually antsy and really want to try pink and blue and green...need I say more? LOL!  Because I have to keep my looks under wraps (at least for the next couple of months) so that I don't scare the very conservative people I work with.  I cannot be really "loud" with my hair.  In my heart I am a child of adventure and do not let others bother me but I must admit there are times when "they" will suppress my spirit. These days though I'm happy to say that I'm learning to live in the moments and I am again learning to let me be me. So yes, I will find a way to try new colors and I do like rainbow colors! How exciting. What I do like about rainbow colors are that there are some that are really LOUD , and others that make a statement without be...

Does Sustainable Fashion have a Future?

Being environmentally conscious is something I am learning to do and it is fast becoming a favorite topic of mine curvy divas . I believe that as time changes we are all learning to not just be aware of our environment but to act to protect it as well! We have to change our attitudes and behavior in our lifestyle so as to consciously help ourselves. Last month H&M along with Vogue put together a panel of fashionably conscious people participated in a live discussion held at The New School for Design at Parson's, about "How can we create a more sustainable fashion future".   Once again I turned to one of my favorite online fashion source, Refinery29  where writer Glynnis Mapp shared more about this outstanding event!  The panel discussed ways we as consumers could practice sustainability in fashion, and also how the government could be involved. There was suggestion of a "by the pound incentive program for consumers..." and where "points" could...
