Paris Fashion Week: The Look in Couture for Spring 2015

You know how much I love fashion for us curvy divas, hence this blog. You also know that I love fashion in general because of what I do share with you from my perspective. But did you know that I love Couture? Stop by and visit my dedicated Pinterest board. I enjoy posting to it all things couture from around the Intraweb.

This a gorgeous look from Giambattista Valli - love the Tulle!

You may already love couture yourself because if you love fashion that is made to order, well, you are a fan! As a young girl at Primary school I had to take Sewing and Needlepoint. My mom was enthusiastic for me to be in that class to learn how to sew. It was where I learned to sew embroidery, how to stitch and even design and cut. Alas for my young mind at that point, I was just not awed by that class and was very happy when it was over. My focus was more on writing and acting which I continued through high school.

It is interesting that my blogs have brought me full circle, directing my path to my love of writing, and back to my love of Fashion and Couture! In Elle Magazine, Ruthie Friedlander wrote about the recent Couture Week in Paris. As usual the style-look, details and texture are absolutely divine. These are a few of my favorite looks featured in the Elle magazine article.

I love the texture of this Georgio Armani Prive' design

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...

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! ...

Society's Never-ending Debate - Who is Plus Sized?

The debate continues about women who are curvier, heavier, plus sized...whatever your favorite terminology is for women who are not Size 0-14, or in the fashion world, Sizes X0-4! In 2014 I wrote about Designers who were confused about what plus size is and who also didn't want to dress women who were larger than a size 0. Once again in 2016, this debate that constantly has us, full-figured, curvy women, being pitted against the woman who is a size zero or regular size is still an issue today because of the Fashion Models being used by Designers in their fashion shows, the looks of these women being deemed as Plus Size are just not plus size. These days most Designers are also refusing to dress actresses ( Melissa McCarthy , and most recently Leslie Jones ) who are not a size zero is such a thoughtless thing, this kind of insensitivity must end.
