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!

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.

You have heard this word before curvy divas , "Fashionistas"?  When it comes to anything to do with fashion and being fashionable, I am sure you have!  Do you know who coined the word and how it came about?  Well, first of all I didn't even realized that there was a story to the word, much less it being "coined" by any one particular person!  I just thought it was one of those words that came about and became popular because of its usage and in reference to anything fashion! According to Elle.com's Culture News, in an article by Rebecca Moss , the word Fashionistas was first created by Stephen Fried. In 1993, Fried, a young Journalist was writing a book about the Model Gia Carangi, who died very young, (sidenote-have you seen the [autobiography] movie of the same name, Gia? - I did and it is one to watch)!  Stephen met with people in the Industry and wanted a word that would represent who and what they were.  Because models and the Industry weren't p...
