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!

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.

The Best Hair Color for You

You choose your outfit with care, down to the shoes you wear for that particular look.  You put your makeup on, and now it's time for your hair.....why is it not looking its best?  Everything that you do in trying to style it, is just so wrong!  You're ready to scream or pull your hair out!!!! Have you ever had a bad hair day?  I know I have, more than once!  Usually, if I'm lucky, I'll have time to wear a hat, a wig or pin my hair in a way to make it work!  It doesn't matter who you are, for every woman, if your hair isn't at its best, you will not be too ! When you have your hair, as some might say "did" or "done" you know you will be at your fabulously curvy best !  One of the  things I like to do is color my hair. Yes, it's chemical, so I guess I'm not totally au naturel!  You can try a rinse, which is a way to temporarily color your hair with a new look, or you can use a permanent color and rock your hair the way you want! ...
