Cuvvy Looks: Summer Stylin from Domino Dollhouse-Doll Parts Collection




 Are you ready for it?  Have you heard about Domino Dollhouse's Summer 2015 collection! In her email to me, Designer, Tracy Broxterman, said "(This collection) is our love letter to our high school selves, embracing grunge 90s styles." 

Style looks from the Doll Parts Summer 2015 Collection


Do you remember Grunge Fashion?  Me too!  Grunge was very popular in the 1990's as Tracy mentioned, in fact, 1992-1994 were the popular years for it.  At that time many fashionistas, and non-fashionistas alike were wearing, 
"...flannel shirts, ripped jeans, mom jeansDoc Martens, combat boots, band T-shirts, oversized knit sweaters, long and droopy skirts, ripped tights, Birkenstocks, and hiking boots.." Wikipedia.org. Women's Fashion , Grunge.  

In the collection I am really loving the Hyper Ballad Dress in Grey,

and especially the Pretend We're Dead Vest in Grid.


the Grid-styled Vest

 ~Style notes~: What I love about the vest is the cropped styling! I've said that curvy divas can wear cropped look as long  as it is styled right for our curves, as these are!

You have also got to see the jewelry selected for the collection. My favorite is this Chain Hoops Earring in Silver. ~swoon~



I think we should definitely go quickly to dominodollhouse.com to view the full Doll Parts Grunge-style collection and select our favorite look before they are all gone, wouldn't you agree 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.

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...
