Want: 2015 Spring Bag Guide

The list you've been waiting on whether you know it or not curvy divas, is here.  The 2015 Spring Bag Guide by way of Elle Magazine online written by Fashion Editor, Danielle Prescod

For me, it's been a while since my last handbag purchase.  And although I recently got wind of what is popular and trending by way of the 2015 It Bag, it is definitely time to see what I should add to my wardrobe.  How about you?  Let's take a walk and see what Danielle have found for us.


The Backpack


I'm not a backpack carrying person, (though I might be now that I'm back in school) and I definitely would grab this one, the River Island black leather-look drawstring backpack below.  I am a sucker for hardware and quite like the zippers and grommets which gives this bag a trendy but stylish-for-keeps look.








The Bucket Bag

One of my favorite styles in handbags that I own and love to wear during the "summer" months (June - September for me), is a white DKNY bucket bag; pictured below, This Kenneth Cole New York Nevins small leather bucket bag below reminds me so much of it - except my DKNY is half leather, half canvas.  This is such a stylish look. 
                                          Nevins Street Leather Bucket Bag - Kenneth Cole

The Tory Burch bucket bag (not pictured here) on that list runs a close second because of its rocking color!




The Clutch

I do own a few clutches that unfortunately don't get out of my closet much.  Clutches were mostly designated for night-time and cocktail parties.  Now however, you can use them during the day and take them anywhere.  Perhaps now that it has made the 2015 list I will step out with one soon. My favorite from this list is the Asos Floral Print clutch.  Not only does it "scream" Spring. It looks like a "million bucks" and at quite a budget-friendly price!













The Fringe Bag

I've owned a few fringe bags in my lifetime. I don't believe I have one in my wardrobe anymore.  Would this style be an option for you? Admittedly it isn't my favorite choice but I never say no to a bit of adventure! How would we wear it?  Hmmm, a sporty or dressy look?  I say you could dress up your fringe bag, and sporty is always a fun look!  My favorite from this group is the Cleobella Fringe Crossbody.  The color is perfect, and the crossbody handbag style is a plus. The lady in the image below wears the perfect look for the fringe style. Now picture that look but with heels and a dressy shirt or blouse....your style-look would be on pointe! (the "e" is deliberate!)





Also on the 2015 Spring Bag Guide list are: The Graphic Bag, much the same as a graphic tee - with a picture, my favorite type of tee.  Like the LBD there is an LBB - the Little Black Bag; The Micro; The Pastel Bag...perfect timing for Spring; and last but in no way least, the very durable and I can't live without them, The Tote!

Now, go on over to Danielle's article, elle.com to see the selections for the other bags, then come back and tell me which will be your favorite go-to bag of choice.

Curvy Looks: What I Wore In a Week

I like reviewing my Style-looks to see how my fashion has progressed, what clothing I intend to keep during my #Showmeyourcloset make over (more on this soon) and also just in case I have to re-think my style strategy when in work-mode. There are good days when my looks are on pointe, and those moments when I wonder what the heck was I thinking with a look that I wore! That may have happened to you as well at times curvy divas?! You know, when the clothing you wore makes you go...WTF?!  This was not how I envisioned this look. I can't wait to get home to take it off!lol! Been there, done that so many times! haha

The Look: New Year's Eve the Weddington Way

Picture this curvy divas, your friend is getting married on New Year's Eve, oh the joy! Then she asks you to be her bridesmaid, and guess what else?  No, not wear that same bouffant dress from her cousin's wedding, oh the horror.  You will be able to create your very own bridesmaid style, your way!!!! Your instructions are, since you are ready for this adventure, "You have to select from the bride's choice of dresses".   All you have to do is accessorize!!!!  This beautiful champagne lace dress from Weddington Way is the one!  Picture this, I'm thinking  monochromatic & luxe femininity . H owever, do not outshine the bride, that's always a no-no! The Weddington Way Nora Dress: A perfect choice.   Gorgeous, lace styling, monochromatic, yet luxe - you could style this many ways. Weddington Way Nora Bridesmaid dress in Champagne  Our choices: Lace gloves:   What better way to add that air of sophistication and femininity, with an oomph of lux

Vintage Vogue

In March of 2012 before I decided to create this blog, I shared my love for Vogue magazine on my d-foreverserenity blog with the article I am super-imposing below. I have this "thing" for magazines. I won't say obsession...I love the glossy pages, the colors, and usually read them from cover to cover....! I had so many magazines piled up, I had to get rid of them...and yes, regretted it the minute I did! Anyway, I'm so glad there are online choices now!!!! Takes up less place in my bedroom!lol! I have saved some of my favorite issues, and shared some style inspiration and observation below. These were my  favorite looks from a  Vogue  magazine issue from August 2006 , six years ago in the past, I know, but I have tons of mags and I love  flipping  through the pages!  These  looks are so fresh today !!  Vogue  featured the color combination of  "The  Red  is the new Black" - red being the new black at the time!
