The Look: New Year's Eve the Weddington Way

Picture this curvy divas, your friend is getting married on New Year's Eve, oh the joy! Then she asks you to be her bridesmaid, and guess what else?  No, not wear that same bouffant dress from her cousin's wedding, oh the horror.  You will be able to create your very own bridesmaid style, your way!!!!

Your instructions are, since you are ready for this adventure, "You have to select from the bride's choice of dresses".  All you have to do is accessorize!!!! 

This beautiful champagne lace dress from Weddington Way is the one!  Picture this, I'm thinking monochromatic & luxe femininity. However, do not outshine the bride, that's always a no-no!

The Weddington Way Nora Dress: A perfect choice. Gorgeous, lace styling, monochromatic, yet luxe - you could style this many ways.

 Our choices:
Lace gloves:  What better way to add that air of sophistication and femininity, with an oomph of luxe.

Strappy heels:taupe/beige mesh number to enhance the beautiful design of the dress, and also oozes sex-appeal!



Earrings...gold filigree that shimmers as you nod happily when the bride and groom say their "I-Do's"!  



And do we need a purse or not?  Of course we do! An elegant envelope bag is necessary - no shoulder straps here! You've got to have something to put your lace hanky in.

Overall, the makeup will be vibrantly neutral, and oh that beautiful red lipstick you peeped online will be perfect because the bride wants you all to have red lips!

Plus, don't forget the bonding session with the other bridesmaids at the nail salon the day before, guess what color?  A beautiful champagne-taupe ~cue glitter~!

~Whew~ I don't know about you, but all this styling is exhausting, and totally worth it for a fabulous look!  What do you think?  Are these choices great for a festive New Year's Eve wedding? What would you wear differently?  Leave me a comment below.

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.

Hair Trends: Rainbow Colored Hair

I've got a new obsession. Yes, a new one, rainbow colored hair.  I am fascinated by the women who are bold enough to do this look. I did my own bold look two summers ago when I went a very daring red.   I am actually antsy and really want to try pink and blue and green...need I say more? LOL!  Because I have to keep my looks under wraps (at least for the next couple of months) so that I don't scare the very conservative people I work with.  I cannot be really "loud" with my hair.  In my heart I am a child of adventure and do not let others bother me but I must admit there are times when "they" will suppress my spirit. These days though I'm happy to say that I'm learning to live in the moments and I am again learning to let me be me. So yes, I will find a way to try new colors and I do like rainbow colors! How exciting. What I do like about rainbow colors are that there are some that are really LOUD , and others that make a statement without be...

Does Sustainable Fashion have a Future?

Being environmentally conscious is something I am learning to do and it is fast becoming a favorite topic of mine curvy divas . I believe that as time changes we are all learning to not just be aware of our environment but to act to protect it as well! We have to change our attitudes and behavior in our lifestyle so as to consciously help ourselves. Last month H&M along with Vogue put together a panel of fashionably conscious people participated in a live discussion held at The New School for Design at Parson's, about "How can we create a more sustainable fashion future".   Once again I turned to one of my favorite online fashion source, Refinery29  where writer Glynnis Mapp shared more about this outstanding event!  The panel discussed ways we as consumers could practice sustainability in fashion, and also how the government could be involved. There was suggestion of a "by the pound incentive program for consumers..." and where "points" could...
