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

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. Christina Aguilera at the AMAs in 2012 & 2013. ...

Fashionistas - What's in a Word

You have heard this word before curvy divas , "Fashionistas"?  When it comes to anything to do with fashion and being fashionable, I am sure you have!  Do you know who coined the word and how it came about?  Well, first of all I didn't even realized that there was a story to the word, much less it being "coined" by any one particular person!  I just thought it was one of those words that came about and became popular because of its usage and in reference to anything fashion!
