The 5 Tips You Need to Know Before Buying Your Next Pair of Jeans

Next to a bathing suit fitting, or a bra fitting, finding the best pair of jeans for your body type can be quite stressful. I've shared this information before but since our minds will be fashion-forwarding to Fall soon, why not re-share some great tips from Petra Flannery on Heidi Klum's website at www.heidiklum.aol.com:

The Best Jeans for your Body Type by Fashion Expert Petra Flannery

Skinny jeans are not for everyone. So true. But I also agree that you can find the right skinny jeans for you, just balance it out with the top you wear, and wear the look with confidence.
Bootcut legs, or flare leg jeans balances out your body. It's great for someone with really skinny legs, according to the article. For me personally, I do own a pair of bootcut, the legs are slightly flared, and tapers from a close-fit on top to slightly wider below the knees. Just find the right pair that fits your body.
High waisted jeans gives a better fit for those with muffin tops. I do agree, and as the article recommends, it is better to wear one if you have really long legs and/or a tall torso, meaning if you're considered to be high-waisted. This style would not be a good look for me.
If you don't like wearing skinny jeans, the straight-leg jeans can create that look for you. It will be a fitted look but not a super-tight look. A great idea for most women because it is more forgiving. Plus I would recommend if you want to see how you would look in a skinny pair of jeans, trying a straight leg is a good way to go.
Low-rise jeans is a good choice for women who are considered to be short-waisted, and also petite-size women.

Remember to take these tips with you on your next shopping excursion for that great pair of jeans. Click on the photo above, or go to the article link here.

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! ...
