Curvy Collaborations: Lilly Pullitzer at Target


Have you heard the news curvy divas?  Lilly Pullitzer the fabulous icon of all things print and pattern beautiful will be the next designer capsule collaboration at Target.



At the end of the summer last year, while shopping at my local Target and not "feeling" the style-looks that greeted me, I inquired about the next collaboration and was told there would be none for a while.  Guess what; it is happening soon, sometime this spring, on April 19, 2015. There are two things to note though, the first is those ladies who are oh so major spenders of the brand is not liking the Target collaboration.  They believe their brand is taking a step down from their high-end market to put themselves out there to the masses at large.  Um, I'm going to leave that alone as my comment may not be that nice.

Secondly, while the collaboration will have plus size,  you won't be able to go on a shopping spree with your girlfriends in the store, only online.  Say what now?  Yep, you and me, and our curvy friends won't be able to make your selection and go to the fitting room to see how much we like our choices, nope.  Your fingers will have to walk all over your keyboards and shop online.

I'm already losing interest in this. My excitement has waned and I'm totally over those rosy patterns!  How about you?  Will you be checking out this latest collaboration?  Do let me know what you think.

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.

Fashionistas - What's in a Word

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...
