Manstyle: Beards, how sexy are they?

You have seen a lot of these lately curvy divas, men with beards.  Is that man with the beard doing it just for a fashionable manstyle look; or is there more to it than that?

Did you know, in November, aka Movember, sometimes even beginning in the month of September, some men grow a beard and don't shave in awareness of prostrate & testicular cancer.  They do this to raise funds to support the research and bring even more awareness to men's health.   There are also some musicians and athlete who will sport a full beard for this cause.  Lately though, I've seen these full beards on non-celebrity men, going about their daily lives.  While some men like a goatee, the trend is a full on beard for many.  Here's a thought, do you think men with beards are sexy?

Yes, ladies, do you think men with beards are sexy?  Well guess what?  The men who do wear beards think that they are!  Whaatttt?  Yep!  So that is why they still sport these full-on facial hair after Movember awareness has gone!  On details.com, Justin Fenner wrote that men do feel not just sexier but much more confident when they have a beard. A survey done by tool makers Braun found that 53% of men feel sexier to women because of their beards, and 41% feel even more confident.

Sometimes beards are used as a "badge of dominance".

They even surveyed men who were clean shaven, who confessed that the only reason they don't wear beards is because they couldn't grow any!  Hmmm, I wonder if this means there would be a lot of hairy guys walking around?!  I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing. At any rate, there are some really cute guys out there don't you agree?!  You can go to the full article below to read more about bearded men, also, follow each link to learn more.

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.

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! ...
