Friday February 6 - Wear Red Day

In recognition of our health curvy divas, the National Institute of Health (NIH) has declared tomorrow a day to wear red.  In 2002 the NIH created the Red Dress ® as the national symbol for women and heart disease awareness.

Of course you can see why. The color red for our heart, somehow that color is associated with love and matters of the heart isn't it?!  Plus when you wear red, you are a force to be recon with. You feel bold, strong and beautiful.



The Heart Truth® created and introduced the Red Dress® as the national symbol for women and heart disease awareness in 2002

It is very important to remember to eat healthy, exercise, even if it is just 15 minutes a day.  That is a start to getting yourself healthier.  Heart disease is a silent killer.  It often takes us by surprise.  We don't recognize it until it is too late.  Don't forget to share this information with your best girlfriend, your mom, aunty, teacher, neighbor, and remind them to go to the doctor for their physical; make that appointment now.  

Go to the NIH's website where you will see that lovely photo with these gorgeous women in red.  Get your best red dress, or suit, or jacket, hoodie...just do you and be healthy.  Now follow this link to read more about Wear Red Day and grab the toolkit if you want to perhaps, host an event...no, it is not too late, you can whip something up and celebrate in no time!  Or just think about it for next year!

Curvy Looks: What I Wore In a Week

I like reviewing my Style-looks to see how my fashion has progressed, what clothing I intend to keep during my #Showmeyourcloset make over (more on this soon) and also just in case I have to re-think my style strategy when in work-mode. There are good days when my looks are on pointe, and those moments when I wonder what the heck was I thinking with a look that I wore! That may have happened to you as well at times curvy divas?! You know, when the clothing you wore makes you go...WTF?!  This was not how I envisioned this look. I can't wait to get home to take it off!lol! Been there, done that so many times! haha

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 . H owever, 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. Weddington Way Nora Bridesmaid dress in Champagne  Our choices: Lace gloves:   What better way to add that air of sophistication and femininity, with an oomph of lux

Vintage Vogue

In March of 2012 before I decided to create this blog, I shared my love for Vogue magazine on my d-foreverserenity blog with the article I am super-imposing below. I have this "thing" for magazines. I won't say obsession...I love the glossy pages, the colors, and usually read them from cover to cover....! I had so many magazines piled up, I had to get rid of them...and yes, regretted it the minute I did! Anyway, I'm so glad there are online choices now!!!! Takes up less place in my bedroom!lol! I have saved some of my favorite issues, and shared some style inspiration and observation below. These were my  favorite looks from a  Vogue  magazine issue from August 2006 , six years ago in the past, I know, but I have tons of mags and I love  flipping  through the pages!  These  looks are so fresh today !!  Vogue  featured the color combination of  "The  Red  is the new Black" - red being the new black at the time!
