Happy Blogoversary Fabulously Curvy - Year Three!

~Happy Blogoversary, Happy Blogoversary, Happy Blogoversary, Hhaaaaapppppy Blog-o-ver-sa-ry!~


Wow curvy divas, it is that time again, we commemorate the date Fabulously Curvy blog began.  We wrote an article in 2013 for our First Year Blogversary, but I don't remember why I didn't do one for year two?!  However, that's in the past and we are moving forward with excitement and looking forward to what is to come for us. Happy Birthday Fabulously Curvy! First article published on May 30, 2012.








In 2014 we covered happenings such as: Alexander Wang's first  collab with H&M; and National Handbag Day.  We covered events such as: going backstage for Orlando International Fashion Week, covering their casting call; and announcing the launch of Beyond the Curves First Showcase here in Orlando.  We shared curvy news such as the launch of Domino Dollhouse's new fashion line, Science Vision Collection, and did our first Vlog "How To", showing you "How to Cuff Your Jeans".  We were nominated for the "Very Inspiring Blogging Award".  And last but certainly not least, I wore swimwear as outerwear!


 
 


Although our genre, Plus Size, has come a long way in the Fashion Industry and is making improvements, growing and being accepted in leaps and bounds, 2014 found us questioning ourselves because of what others who were regular size but identified themselves to be plus size, had us going "Uh"?  "Were they really"? The Australian model whose news made a big splash, and we shook our heads and wondered what is the true plus size.



We had fun celebrity moments sharing fashionably clad celebrities at the Emmy's & the Golden Globes, We showcased male celebrities fashionable moments (yes, they do have them too) in what we love to call "Manstyle" at the Oscars, We also showcased fashionably clad men in trendy looks such as Meggings. We continue to share information about sustainability in clothing design as we did when H&M launched their "Go Green" campaign with Conscious Denim.




In trying to find that look that appeals to our aesthetics, our blog continues to improve in the direction that will have us feeling fashionably content. We also created a Facebook Fan page, Fabulously Curvy Blog and you can find us on Pinterest.  Last year by way of our main PIC, Person in Charge, Donna Foreverserenity, we had our first Blogger's Meet Up Hub online.



Well, it has certainly been quite a busy year for us wouldn't you agree?  And that's only  a pinch of what we have covered last year! We haven't even touched the surface about all of the curvy looks, love it or leave it, and oh those celebrity faux paux!  Bet we will have fun doing this again for next year!  What do you think?

Thank you so much for reading with us, sharing our work, and for being our fans.  In looking forward to goals and the future, you will often see "We" it is not a form of misleading it's a form of putting out to the Universe our dreams. I thank you again curvy divas and gents who love us.

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!

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!   ...

Lacquered: Move over Glossy, Matte Nails are in!

In Purewow's Beauty section online, I read with interest that the new trend for nails this fall will be the matte finished,  as in shine-free!  Well move over glossy & shiny!  Remember curvy divas , there is matte makeup ; matte lipstick ; I even remember the matte finish jewelry trend , and now we have matte nail polishes!! Did you ever think that trend would be in nail polishes too?   According to Purewow, the Matte Finish not only comes as a nail polish, but also as a Top Coat! They recommend that we first try the top coat in matte finish to see if we like the look.  You can apply it over your regular nail color of the week and have matte-finished nails! Top Coat in Matte Finish SHOP The budget-friendly and cautious side of me agrees this would be a safe way to see if you do like the look (although at $19 each there's nothing cheap about it!) and just in case you don't want to splurge on every color in the line of matte finishes, I guess i...
