Curvy Looks at the 2015 Golden Globes

You and I both know how difficult it is to decide what to wear when you have an event to attend curvy divas.  We must consider the type of event and wear clothing that is appropriate.  Our goal is always style first, then comfort, especially depending on the weather conditions.

Do you think it is the same for actresses and celebrities too? Although they do have stylists and designers to doth on them, I'm sure they worry about what they are going to wear, and how they will look. Add to that, what we, the public, and especially those fashion critics will say about their style choices.

Tonight is one of the most glamorous moments for Hollywood film & television stars, The Golden Globe Awards. I had to check out the curvy looks on the Red Carpet.

Melissa McCarthy's style is a "DIY" (do-it-yourself) style. Do you think it is from her upcoming curvy fashion line?  She styled her gown the way she wanted it to look, and you know what.....?

I LOVE it!  I like that Melissa's look is a non-traditional look for the red carpet. The detailing on the skirt is not too overdone.  The blouson shirt also has details such as the bishop sleeves, a bow- with the right touch of glitter, and which complements the collar for a finished look. Some may think this style is totally wrong, however, her silhouette is leaner and her do-it-yourself detailing makes for greater appeal, in my opinion.  Her side-swept ponytail is the perfect hair style as well.  Her accessories are on point, including those cocktail rings!

Actress Lena Dunham is wearing a Zac Posen (hi-lo) dress.  While I like the color, what a gorgeous red it is, and the sati-sheen finish of the dress adds glamour to her look, I am however, not fond of the fit of the dress on her.  The boxy style gives an odd shape to the bodice of the dress.  I'm in love with her pointed-toe-Peter-Pan looking shoes. I would have love to see her in long, shoulder-sweeper earrings with this look.

The ever so curvy Jennifer Lopez has me going ga-ga over her smoldering looks in a Zuhair Murad gown.  She is walking and styling s-e-x-y! Oh la la. My favorite look on the red carpet!

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...
