Love it or Leave it: The Kimono

I have seen so many bloggers write about kimonos lately, it's fast becoming one of the favorite fashion trends.  I have Seen so many types of kimonos and so far I am loving this trend. I do love a great cover up and find having those types of clothing in my closet a good thing. Much like a jacket  or cardigan, I doubt you can go wrong.

                                                 


I set out recently to find one that would be a great look for me and stopped by one of my favorite stores recently to check their styles out. Truthfully, this store has a very trendy clothing line but not too many for a full figured diva. They only go up to an extra large in their clothing. I am lucky that I can fit in most extra large....on a good style day!!!:) :) <3

                                             



Seriously though, I grabbed two cover up styles off the rack and headed for the fitting room.

The first one was more a cardigan than a kimono, but I loved the color and look, unfortunately it was a leave it moment. Not a good fit!

The second style was a kimono and the minute I put it on, I was transformed into a fierce fashion diva! I thought "Oh wow, I love this style".
                                      
                                           
So I am all over kimonos and will definitely add more to my closet. I can picture me having lots of fierce Friday fashion moments with this style. It is definitely a love it! Stay tune for my what I wear in a day article with my new find!



As usual in two words, Be. You! As I always am. These looks definitely fit into the category of 

#FFF, Fierce Fashion 

Friday style!!!!

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.

Fashionistas - What's in a Word

You have heard this word before curvy divas , "Fashionistas"?  When it comes to anything to do with fashion and being fashionable, I am sure you have!  Do you know who coined the word and how it came about?  Well, first of all I didn't even realized that there was a story to the word, much less it being "coined" by any one particular person!  I just thought it was one of those words that came about and became popular because of its usage and in reference to anything fashion! According to Elle.com's Culture News, in an article by Rebecca Moss , the word Fashionistas was first created by Stephen Fried. In 1993, Fried, a young Journalist was writing a book about the Model Gia Carangi, who died very young, (sidenote-have you seen the [autobiography] movie of the same name, Gia? - I did and it is one to watch)!  Stephen met with people in the Industry and wanted a word that would represent who and what they were.  Because models and the Industry weren't p...
