Curvy News: Plus Size Fashion Walks NYFW 2015

New York Fashion Week (NYFW) 2015 came in and went out like lightning!  We always love the fabulous styles and fashion showcased for the world to see.  I usually love to do what is normal and look for the people who look like us on the Catwalk. Are they curvy, any type of plus sizes on that runway?  Hmmm...inquiring minds wants to know!

I was pleased to find out that there was a very unique event that occurred on September 11 at NYFW. Have you ever watched Project Runway on Lifetime Television?  It's one of my favorite programs, and one I must confess I don't indulge in as much as I used to.  But I do enjoy watching it when I do. Well curvy divas, guess what?  One of the designers from the current Season 14 was the lucky presenter of their fashion at the show's NYFW Finale production.  Because there is a designer whose designs are geared for us curvy divas, there was speculation that the designs were hers!

Model wearing Ashley Nell Tipton's design

The attendees at the event knew there would be a featured designer, but had no idea who it would be. and what a fabulous surprise to see Plus Size Fashion featured and to think it was from Ashley Nell Tipton!


The Designer's clothing were well-fitted for the curvy models who showcased her exceptional styles well.  She wasn't afraid to let them wear the latest fashion trends either;  cropped tops, high-waist shorts, and flirty dresses were  part of an eclectic mix of patterns and fabric that enhanced the designs worn by the models.


I will be glued to the small screen to see who wins this season's Project Runway.  I am secretly hoping it will be Ashley Tipton. How about you?

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.

Hair Trends: Rainbow Colored Hair

I've got a new obsession. Yes, a new one, rainbow colored hair.  I am fascinated by the women who are bold enough to do this look. I did my own bold look two summers ago when I went a very daring red.   I am actually antsy and really want to try pink and blue and green...need I say more? LOL!  Because I have to keep my looks under wraps (at least for the next couple of months) so that I don't scare the very conservative people I work with.  I cannot be really "loud" with my hair.  In my heart I am a child of adventure and do not let others bother me but I must admit there are times when "they" will suppress my spirit. These days though I'm happy to say that I'm learning to live in the moments and I am again learning to let me be me. So yes, I will find a way to try new colors and I do like rainbow colors! How exciting. What I do like about rainbow colors are that there are some that are really LOUD , and others that make a statement without be...

Does Sustainable Fashion have a Future?

Being environmentally conscious is something I am learning to do and it is fast becoming a favorite topic of mine curvy divas . I believe that as time changes we are all learning to not just be aware of our environment but to act to protect it as well! We have to change our attitudes and behavior in our lifestyle so as to consciously help ourselves. Last month H&M along with Vogue put together a panel of fashionably conscious people participated in a live discussion held at The New School for Design at Parson's, about "How can we create a more sustainable fashion future".   Once again I turned to one of my favorite online fashion source, Refinery29  where writer Glynnis Mapp shared more about this outstanding event!  The panel discussed ways we as consumers could practice sustainability in fashion, and also how the government could be involved. There was suggestion of a "by the pound incentive program for consumers..." and where "points" could...
