My Favorite Looks at the Oscars & Random Style Notes

Did you catch the styles on the Oscar's Red Carpet this past week curvy divas?  I did too.  My overall favorite look was worn by an actress who knows how to "kick-ass" in her movies, did just that at the Oscars.  Scarlett Johansson wore a gorgeous green Atelier Versace gown and her statement necklace was a beautiful compliment to her entire look - made a perfect style note!

She also wore two different style earrings, nope, they didn't match. You go girl!

Oprah Winfrey was very elegant in her Vera Wang gown.  I love the color, and the detailing on the bodice of the dress accentuated her shape very nicely. Style note - sheer sleeves.

Actress Meryl Streep's style sense never goes the traditional route.  Her looks over the years at the various award shows has always been quite eclectic because she often wears her own look and “marches to the beat of her own drum”.  Style note - she accentuated her waist with a broad belt, and the length of the jacket balances that of the skirt.

 Octavia Spencer wore Tadashi Shoji design, and once again, it was a winner!  It’s very elegantly designed and I’m guessing very couture.  Style note - I love the ruching at the waistline which accentuates her waist and the train complements the dress quite well.


 Viola Davis was stunning and her natural hair was a great accessory!  Yes!   Style note - the statement necklace.

How can I not mention Jennifer Lopez?  She was a vision in Elie Saab!  Did you see that her dress was matched to perfection to her skin, and even her hair! Style note - the belted waistline.

Jennifer Lopez - what a stunner!

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! ...
