Curvy Closets: 5 Accessory Items You Should Own

Did you know that because of the sizes of our wrists (and even our necks), we cannot always wear some of the fashionable jewelry trends we like curvy divas?! I have the five items that will always be a perfect fit for our size, and you can add any or all of them to your wardrobe.

(1) Bangles are fun to wear and you can pile them on for a fun party of arm candy. Alex and Ani at alexandani.com have some great bangles that are not only fashionably stylish, they are expandable.

(2) Rings are so fashionably trendy, large ones such as the cocktail variety; and small ones with beautiful gemstones comes in all shapes and sizes and with expandable fitting which makes them easily adjustable.

(3) I'm still on the fence about those mini handbags that are so popular these days, but a small to medium-sized cross-body bag can be a great look for our body-type, and will be a great transition from a larger sized bag.

(4) I love statement necklaces, but they don't always have to be of the chunky collar style.  They can be long and elegant and are so much better when they are adjustable.

(5) The one item we all seem to forget because we only utilize them when they are needed to hold up our pants, belts.  A belt can be a stylish accessory item to complete your look, whether edgy with studs or plain leather for that classic look.

These are five accessories that should definitely be in every woman's closet.  Do you agree? If not share your own with me!

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.

The Best Hair Color for You

You choose your outfit with care, down to the shoes you wear for that particular look.  You put your makeup on, and now it's time for your hair.....why is it not looking its best?  Everything that you do in trying to style it, is just so wrong!  You're ready to scream or pull your hair out!!!! Have you ever had a bad hair day?  I know I have, more than once!  Usually, if I'm lucky, I'll have time to wear a hat, a wig or pin my hair in a way to make it work!  It doesn't matter who you are, for every woman, if your hair isn't at its best, you will not be too ! When you have your hair, as some might say "did" or "done" you know you will be at your fabulously curvy best !  One of the  things I like to do is color my hair. Yes, it's chemical, so I guess I'm not totally au naturel!  You can try a rinse, which is a way to temporarily color your hair with a new look, or you can use a permanent color and rock your hair the way you want! ...
