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~

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!

A Re-post: Red Carpet Reviews - 2013 American Music Awards

Another post of mine that was a write up for Orlando Fashion Week Magazine.  It was published there previously.  If you missed it, I'm sharing it again here on my blog for the first time, with some edits for relevance of course curvy divas. A writer's work is never done! Let me know which celebrity wore your favorite style! Did you watch last year's AMAs? Me too!  It was one of the best with my favorite Mr. Worldwide, Pitbull as host.  Did you catch the fashion that walked the red carpet?  No? Well, pull up a chair and I'll fill you in. At the 2012 award show, Christina Aguilera was beautiful in all her curvyness in a Pamella Roland dress, unfortunately, she went overboard on the suntan lotion.  Last year, she showed off a much leaner physique in a white Maria Lucia Hohan cut-out dress with a high split on the side.  Her shoes were Christian Louboutin peep-toe and I loved her pave jewelry.

How to Wear Glitter in the Daytime

Have you ever worn sequin aka glitter?  It is pretty much a trend in fashion these days.  Glitter is worn mostly at nights and for real special and dressier occasions. But not so today curvy divas. Glitter can also be worn during the day!  I've worn glitter during the day time before and I try to make it look as understated as possible!  You don't need too much accessories when you wear glitter.  It is pretty much how you put your outfit together! On Elle.com Amanda Fitzsimons interviewed designer Marissa Webb who is known for using sequins during the daytime!  Amanda wanted to know if this look (daytime glitter) can really work? Marissa said it definitely can and thinks it is in how shine the sequinned (or glittered) garment that choose to wear is. It is not just in the size of the beadings at all! I tend to agree with her.   I don't think a really shiny sequinned garment on its own, would work for daytime. That would definitely be overkill! ...
