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!

Fall 2012 Trends

Summer is not yet over but already the fashion world has moved on, for some time now, to Fall !  I love to peruse any information I see about Fall Fashions before the season begins too; learning what the colors and styles will be, and to see if there are any trends to follow. Where trends are concerned, I firmly believe that it is best to choose the look that will work best for you.  You can follow a trend, but you should tweak it to make it your own! This is how you discover your own sense of style! I love receiving emails from Ken Downing, Fashion Director for Neiman Marcus !  He shared quite a lot of details in his latest E-mail newsletter to me!  To start off, one of Fall's fashion trend will be the: Statement Handbag : Michael Kors Skorpios Haircalf Ring Tote - $1,695 from Neiman Marcus on neimanmarcus.com Yes, animal print continues even into the Fall season!  Budget conscious divas will do what we do best and shop around for th...

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.

This beautiful dress is also not available in larger sizes. It goes to...
