Manstyle: When your Mankles are Squeezed out by Mulottes

This terminology slipped by me last summer.  OK, I admit it, I fell asleep at the wheel and didn't feature a lot on the blog last year.  Do you want to know a day in the life of me?  Nope, you have to go over to D-foreverserenity for that.  Our platform is fashion and all the fashionable news and information we can find. Trends, celebrate our curves, and let's not forget our men!




Needless to say, we can't be everywhere curvy divas, especially when personal life kicks in.  But now that I'm up and rolling again, let me ask you, did you hear about "Mankles?"  Well, if you're a fan of The Cut as I am, you would have. But not to worry, that's what I'm here for.

If you guessed that Mankles are related to men's fashion. You've got it!  What exactly about men's fashion?  Well, "ankles" definitely gives the clue away.  So why do we refer to mankles in men's fashion?  Pardon me but aren't we repeating ourselves?  OK, curvy divas, the long and short of it, is when men don't wear socks, they show off their ANKLES!!!  Let's face it, guys have been doing this forever, going without socks. But while some men hide it when they do, many don't, and will roll a cuff on their pants or wear shorter length pants that are already styled to display them in all their mankled glory!




Hold up! Don't rush out to buy any pre-mankled (....I made that term up....) pants just yet.  It seems now there's a new Manstyle out.   Read the full Mankles article on The Cut here.






The Mulottes!


So that we don't have to re-word everything we just talked about above, except for inserting "mulottes" wherever you read "mankles".....just like culottes are fashionably in for us girls, mulottes are in for the men! I've seen mulottes for a while now too, again, because it is quite a popular street style, they have become respectable enough to be included in fashion's mainstream repertoire.

What do you think of the guy in the picture above?  Hey, to me he looks quite fashionably dressed.  Yes, our men are into fashion as much as we are curvy divas.  Loving it!   So guys, are you going out to get yourself a mulotte?  Also, tell me, do you show your mankles when you feel like it?  Ladies, will you go out with your men wearing a Mulotte?  How about those Mankles?  If you remember, Detectives Crockett and Tubbs rocked the heck out of those Mankles!

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!   ...

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!

30 Coats: One for every day of the cold season

As Winter comes around the corner for some, and is already here for others, what is the best thing (after my favorite, boots) that some fashionistas look forward to? Well curvy divas , have you thought about it yet?  Coat season of course!  I'm sure by now you know that there is a coat for every type of cold-weather day! On Purewow.com they featured 30 different coats you can wear , think of it as a daily guide for at least one month of coat-wearing during the cold season!  They have defined for each type of cold-weather day a coat or jacket you can wear! When it's Crisp outside, a bit cooler than the hot weather we are still feeling here in Orlando, then it's time to take out your blazer ! Mossimo's brown leather fur collar jacket When it gets blustery outside, a lot colder than just a chill in the air, hello Bomber jackets !   I agree that this style is the "it" jacket, because of its edgy style ! http://www.oldnavy.com/products/outerwear-...
