Are You Fixated with that Thigh Gap?

I have a question for you.  Are you letting the way your body looks, or the shape you are in, stop you from being who you are?  Do you wear whatever you want to in spite of what everyone else may think?  Do you wear leggings, skinny jeans, and any figure hugging style?  Or do you avoid them because you feel your thighs are too large and you can't bear to see them in fitted clothing styles?  

Don't let that thigh gap hold you back!  You can wear whatever you want as long as you are comfortable with yourself.  Being comfortable leads to being very confident.  To have that type of confidence you must love yourself freely without fault.



Whether we like to acknowledge it or not, chafing will happen for most people.  It is a reality and nothing to be ashamed of.  Our bodies are the way they are, and unless you are going to have plastic surgery to change the look and/or shape of your body, it is a natural occurrence.  Utilizing the right body or shape wear, or shorts worn with your clothing can and will make this more comfortable for you.  Also, by exercising and getting more toned, your excessive chafing can become a thing of the past!


I have three words for you curvy divas.  Love. Your. Curves.  You have to love yourself first; love who you are; and then you will come to appreciate your body even more.  Are you going to always like the way you look?  No.  The reality is that unless you are a continuously optimistic person who doesn't give two-cents about what others say or think about you, in life you will continue to have those moments of not being too happy with yourself.  It doesn't help when we are bombarded by The Media and there are photos of super fit and trim people in magazines and everywhere.  Most times the images of models and celebrities are photo shopped, don't forget that. The thigh gap you see may not be real after all!  Learn to love your curves because they are in all the right places!


A bit of news for you curvy divas, while some women are obsessed with it, most men don't seem to care:   http://www.buzzfeed.com/lindabarsi/men-say-what-they-secretly-think-about-thigh-gaps#.xl2qLWBXQ

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. Christina Aguilera at the AMAs in 2012 & 2013. ...

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! ...
