Curvy Confidence:Remember The Three R's


I'm reclaiming myself on this day that is usually Throwback Thursday curvy divas. It is nice to look back and see how far you have come, to remember what you once were, that is, in thinking, how you felt, the position or place you were at whatever moment in time.


It is a great feeling when you see how much you have grown, how you are and what you will be, meeting your destiny.  As women we get "hit" from so many corners of our lives. The media, our friends who mean well, but somehow will sometimes discourage your growth, our spouses and/or special person who often take us for granted, or can't see us for who we really are; or who we are supposed to be.  Society tosses their habits, denials, expectations, rules, all and sundry at us and we are supposed to hang our heads in shame and step back into the shells that enclose us.


Do you remember as children you were told about the Three Rs, Arithmetic, Reading and Writing? I believe that terminology is still around today.  I propose a new way of thinking for our grown up selves.  Today I say make this Thursday and all Thursdays going forward, positivity ThursdayIt is, and should be everyday, your day to shine because you are Resilient, Radiant and Receptive (The Three Rs).


Resilient – For your ability to recover quickly from adversary. No matter who or what comes at you on any given day or at any time. Yes you will hurt from the pain of negativity. But you will be even stronger to shine bright like a flame. #resilientme


Radiant – You emanate joy, love, and health.  You are your true authentic self; discovering who you are meant to be. You wear your fashion with grace and fierceness. #feelingfierce


Receptive – You are ready to receive and accept. You are flexible, approachable, responsive and accepting of new ideas and thoughts.  You can choose your own word here such as #open, #approachable, #accessible etc.
Whatever it is, make it your own and let's be positive going forward with #positivitythursday!

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.

Hair Trends: Rainbow Colored Hair

I've got a new obsession. Yes, a new one, rainbow colored hair.  I am fascinated by the women who are bold enough to do this look. I did my own bold look two summers ago when I went a very daring red.   I am actually antsy and really want to try pink and blue and green...need I say more? LOL!  Because I have to keep my looks under wraps (at least for the next couple of months) so that I don't scare the very conservative people I work with.  I cannot be really "loud" with my hair.  In my heart I am a child of adventure and do not let others bother me but I must admit there are times when "they" will suppress my spirit. These days though I'm happy to say that I'm learning to live in the moments and I am again learning to let me be me. So yes, I will find a way to try new colors and I do like rainbow colors! How exciting. What I do like about rainbow colors are that there are some that are really LOUD , and others that make a statement without be...

Does Sustainable Fashion have a Future?

Being environmentally conscious is something I am learning to do and it is fast becoming a favorite topic of mine curvy divas . I believe that as time changes we are all learning to not just be aware of our environment but to act to protect it as well! We have to change our attitudes and behavior in our lifestyle so as to consciously help ourselves. Last month H&M along with Vogue put together a panel of fashionably conscious people participated in a live discussion held at The New School for Design at Parson's, about "How can we create a more sustainable fashion future".   Once again I turned to one of my favorite online fashion source, Refinery29  where writer Glynnis Mapp shared more about this outstanding event!  The panel discussed ways we as consumers could practice sustainability in fashion, and also how the government could be involved. There was suggestion of a "by the pound incentive program for consumers..." and where "points" could...
