Show Me Your Closet

Halloween is almost upon on us here in the United States curvy divas, have you decided what to wear if you plan on going out whether to a party or just trick or treating with the children.   Last year I wrote an article that gave some good ideas on what to wear for this special celebration. http://fabulouslycurvy.blogspot.com/2013/10/halloween-chic-part-deux.html When dressing up, your costume doesn't have to be with a mask or anything that looks outlandish.  Do you dress up at your office?  A few of us are dressing up at my office this year, and I'm not yet sure if I am too, although I want to.  But what can I go as and still be appropriate for work?  Nothing sexy...no sultry dress up for sure! Sexy Nemo image from article written by John Cheese on cracked.com Nope, that definitely would not be appropriate in the office.  And I agree with John in his article...this is one costume that shouldn't exist! When dressing up for the office on Halloween, the w

Have you heard the news curvy divas?  Alexander Wang, yes, the designer, the very one whose muse I want to be will be at H&M next month. Yes, in November!!!! What? I was very excited to hear the news.   The only thing that makes me lose the zest in my step is the size he doesn't have....yep, our gorgeous curviness! ~WAH~ I will get over it and I'm sure you will too but in the meantime, let us be the voyeurs into the world of Alexander Wang and seek out his designs, the link below is his bio where we will find out so much more about this collaboration with H&M. Alexander Wang & H&M

I hear the cries about us curvy women not putting our money where the designer fashions are when they do deem to create for our size. Seriously? Like what size?  A size 10, 12, 14, 16 - L,XL?   Where are the sizes 18, 20, 22, 24, 26 and even higher? Because there are full-figured women out there who needs to look good too. And don't get me started on those who think a designer shouldn't create for me because I can't afford it. You're probably right on that front. I can't afford to drop $1000 on a shirt like it's hot potato. Nope, never have and never will!  I'm sure many women out there won't do that either because some of us just don't have that type of disposable income. However, we do want to look good, we do love to shop, (maybe not everyday) and we do love a good sale, what's wrong with that? Hmmmm...seems a lot to think about my curvy divas.  I'll share more in upcoming articles. To kick this off though there's a question I

You probably know by now curvy divas that I wear sparkle aka glitter nail polish quite often.  That is because I like mixing up the look of the polish I use and I find that glitter nail polish is often very attractive.   These days glitter nail polish is so much more creatively mixed , you can get the lighter shade, with a hint of color and less sparkle. Or the the usual with an extra dose of sparkle at every stroke! One thing that most people have a problem with is removing glitter nail polish.  I decided to  vlog about it.  Find out how I remove mine, and what other random stuff I shared in the vlog too!  Hope you like it. Do let me know what you think and share what you like to see on the  vlog, any particular beauty or curvy fashion topics.  

I love Alexander Wang's designs.  His creations are on point with the style-looks I like.   I wish I could be his muse...if he ever designed for the full-figured woman!   I thought his "T by Alexander" brand was for plus size, but I've only seen up to a size Large- L. That hasn't stopped me from loving his designs.  Take this dress below, these are not from his "T" line.   The moment I saw the zippered neckline, I fell in want for it!

I think I can say for most of us that we do enjoy wearing black from time to time, right curvy divas?!   In fact, for some people, they wear only the color black.  I say that's a bit obsessive, but hey, I'm not judging.  Being a transplanted New Yorker living in Florida, I almost fitted that quota too, except for my love of bright colors ~whew~!  Even my prints are black and white!lol! Have you ever worn a black outfit thinking it's going to be just fantastic and you will "blend" in with the scene of wherever you planned on going?  Sometimes we just don't want to stand out, you know what I mean?  Well, by doing that, how can you go wrong?!  I didn't think it was possible though until I read this article on Huffington Post, and saw the photographs of celebs wearing black, and oh my, when wearing black, went really wrong! I like Selena Gomez, especially because my teen is a fan of hers...but what was she thinking in this outfit? Can you see what is wr

H&M has a new campaign called " Go Green - wear blue, Conscious Denim by H&M" - ( colors my own design ) .   Firstly, you know how much I love H&M curvy divas , they are so on point with their style looks, even for us curvy divas, and they are so into sustainability and our environment. I love conscious retailers ! Before the style and look of the clothing caught my eye, their male model, well, he had me from the minute I clicked on the link in my email!  I know, I'm so one-track-sided....lol! I love my clothing fashionable and cute, like my men...kidding!!!lol! Let's just say I pinned him and his looks er style on my Manstyle board on Pinterest before I did this write up! At least it wasn't on my Raining Men board ~Har Har...~  H&M's new denim is available for the entire family, women, men, & kids; but for now, I do love the wool blend coat and the denim jacket featured.  Click on the links for each photo to go to the website.
