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.

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! ...
