What I Wear in a Day: Happy Earth-Day Birthday

It's that time again curvy divas, my special born day, Earth-strong, my birthday!  And it is Earth Day.  Once again we are taking a fashionable pause to mention the two.  First, go to this link to read more about activities and what you can do for our planet.

Here are photos of two of our gorgeous potted plants: The White Lily and the Amaryllis. I love my plants & flowers! 






I did the usual annual write up about my birthday on my Lifestyle blog, over at Foreverserenity.  Go to this link to read more, and you will discover my age...it's the big reveal. I'm very happy and proud to be here, alive and well for another birthday, especially this one!
I had quite a surprise this past weekend, an early celebration gift with a visit to a popular spot in Orlando, Howl at the Moon. I sang, I dance and I had fun!
I had instructions to wear these (glasses, sash & pin) and was then driven to my surprise!



 My JLO jumpsuit was absolutely amazing.  I decided to belt it with a broad belt.  What do you think?   I had a little snag in that while I had put the bra straps in the back in an "X" for the style of the jumpsuit, I couldn't fix it that way for the front too, so I left the straps normal.  As you can see it in the photo above.  But guess what?  I realized at the end of the evening that I could have just pinned the straps into place because the bodice would have accommodated that...ah well. Note to myself for next time.  Has that ever happened to you where you realized you could have styled your look a different way, after you got dress and was out and about with your gorgeous self?  LOL! We live and learn, yes?!

Do stop by and say hello for my birthday when you read this, ok?! And once again, a big shout out to Google for giving me a Birthday Doodle!  Ahhhhh~

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!

Shoes, Fabulous Shoes!

There's nothing like a great pair of shoes that finishes an outfit.  You can have on the most darling outfit, but if you don't have the right shoes to go with it, well, somehow you end up feeling like, "Meh", to quote the perfect noncommittal, blah expression! Men of the world, there's one thing you must know, shoes makes the outfit, that's why we women have a variety of  them! In  my quest for nude-colored shoes this season, here are two looks I love from Elle.com "Best Spring Heels" feature. Suede wide-strap wedges from the Gap - $89.99 [Mark  Platt photo] You can never go wrong with Platforms!  If you love having a high heel without the stilts, wedges are the way to go! Paulina Cork Sandal heels from Bebe - $98.00 [Mark Platt photo] Although the linked article is from last year, the color and style are pretty on point for today's look!  The height of the heel is balanced by the platform at the base of the shoe.  Take ...
