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.

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!   ...

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-...
