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.

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.

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!

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! ...
