Curvy Looks: Sheer Inspiration - Eureka I Styled It!

So remember when I restyled and refashioned my sheer 80's shirt into a new look with my Old Navy boyfriend jeans and the JLO tank top?

 Little did I know that I was unto something old, being new again! Yes curvy divas, the really sheer look is here to stay with  a totally new vision of sheer inspiration.  I'm on Issuu are you?  I was doing what I love to do, peruse what I affectionately call Magrags and came across BlkonBlk a really awesome magazine published by Black Magazine with some really great images of which I was impressed and loving their style.

Then I saw this look:




I could visualize myself in this style and wondered if I could recreate it.  I had a high neck cowl sweater that  was similar and I could wear my bondage shoes.  Unfortunately, I didn't have any sheer skirts or dress.  Well, there goes that idea.  But perhaps I could still see what I could create using the shirts I have!

I grabbed two of the three sheer black shirts I have and decided to see what I could come up with.  I tried on several looks that just didn't work.  Tank or tee shirt or dresses over the sheer shirts....nope!  The sheer shirts by themselves with a nice bra...yep, If I was going clubbing and I was...20 years younger!   Then I came up with two style looks that I loved.   Here are some photographs of my recreations.  
The first look is a buttoned down shirt over a striped Maxi-Ombre dress with a slit on the side.  I believe it may be an Apt 9 or a Nicole Miller dress.  I accessorized with a pair of chandelier earrings and the bondage heels.



The second look was a sheer charcoal grey shirt with denim styling on the cuffs and collar, and two pockets on the front of the shirt.  There were also silver buttons down the front.  Guess what I did?  I wore a striped maxi skirt over the ombre dress!!! Now that's being creative. While the shoes remained the same, I chose a long dangling triangle shaped glittered earrings for this look.








 So now I have two style looks I can use when the mood strikes!  Did I do a good job with what I have? As usual in two words, Be. You! As I always am. These looks definitely fit into the category of  #FFF, Fierce Fashion Friday style!!!!

Window Shopping Part Deux - What I Chose

As you know from my last article , I went shopping for swimsuit with my teen Mandi and ended up doing the same for myself. After all, I was in need of a new bathing suit. My last purchase for one was from Target eight years ago! And also during that time, I was the lucky recipient of two new suits from my BSFFL (Best Sister Friend For Life) who visited from Europe! So Those have lasted quite a long time!

Backstage at OIFW Model Casting Call

On Saturday, yesterday in fact, I had the pleasure of attending a casting call for models , an event organized and hosted by Fierce Entertainment Management for their upcoming Orlando International Fashion Week, November  2-8, 2014 . Attendees at the event were welcomed by Fierce Entertainment's, Rob Henlon who then handed the program over to the vivacious Kristania Vielot who instructed the aspiring models for their walk down the runway, strutting their stuff for the designers and other members of the Fierce team. As the models strutted to the sound of the music-mix pumping, guests sipped and ate refreshments that were provided.   Before they walked the impromptu runway, I had a little  tête-à-tête   with three of the young models, Logan-9, Ashley-6 and Aiden-4,  beautiful, cute, and adorable , (who won't want me to call them that, but I am because they were) whose future will lead them to become what they dream of!   ...

Lacquered: Move over Glossy, Matte Nails are in!

In Purewow's Beauty section online, I read with interest that the new trend for nails this fall will be the matte finished,  as in shine-free!  Well move over glossy & shiny!  Remember curvy divas , there is matte makeup ; matte lipstick ; I even remember the matte finish jewelry trend , and now we have matte nail polishes!! Did you ever think that trend would be in nail polishes too?   According to Purewow, the Matte Finish not only comes as a nail polish, but also as a Top Coat! They recommend that we first try the top coat in matte finish to see if we like the look.  You can apply it over your regular nail color of the week and have matte-finished nails! Top Coat in Matte Finish SHOP The budget-friendly and cautious side of me agrees this would be a safe way to see if you do like the look (although at $19 each there's nothing cheap about it!) and just in case you don't want to splurge on every color in the line of matte finishes, I guess i...
