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!

Fall 2012 Trends

Summer is not yet over but already the fashion world has moved on, for some time now, to Fall !  I love to peruse any information I see about Fall Fashions before the season begins too; learning what the colors and styles will be, and to see if there are any trends to follow. Where trends are concerned, I firmly believe that it is best to choose the look that will work best for you.  You can follow a trend, but you should tweak it to make it your own! This is how you discover your own sense of style! I love receiving emails from Ken Downing, Fashion Director for Neiman Marcus !  He shared quite a lot of details in his latest E-mail newsletter to me!  To start off, one of Fall's fashion trend will be the: Statement Handbag : Michael Kors Skorpios Haircalf Ring Tote - $1,695 from Neiman Marcus on neimanmarcus.com Yes, animal print continues even into the Fall season!  Budget conscious divas will do what we do best and shop around for th...

Wearing Red

It's Valentine's Day again and I'm sure many of you curvy divas are wondering what to wear tonight?  Some of us have plans, but others will keep it low keyed at home...or not! Whatever you do curvy divas, I found some great suggestions on Elle.com!  They featured RED , in everything, accessories, clothing, make up, even underwear!  Here are my favorite picks! I LOVE this dress! The silhouette is beautiful and will flatter most body types!  I checked and this item doesn't go larger than a size 12 by the designer, and they are out of this style at Neiman Marcus, however, it's a great look and you can find something similar elsewhere!  If it is too long, find a shorter length.

This beautiful dress is also not available in larger sizes. It goes to...
