Window Shopping: Fall Fashion Chronicles - Knits are In

Have you felt that change in the air? Do you have that feeling of summer being over? It is a resounding "Yes" and "Yes" to both questions isn't it curvy divas?

While the calendar has not officially announced the end of Summer which comes in a few calendar days. The air is not as humid and Labor Day holiday has come and gone. Those are usually my markers to begin looking to Fall aka Autumn.


                    

The magrags have already published their Fall Fashion issues, some of which I bought and will share more about  in other articles.  Here at Fabulously Curvy, the best thing is to go to where the fashion is, the Stores!


I'm feeling all kinds of wonderful in this Calvin Klein dress!
                        
Last year we took a trip to The Mall. This year we selected a store we haven't visited in a while Burlington Coat Factory. I have always shopped Burlington and love their selection of clothing for the plus size woman. I noticed there were quite a few dresses, Knitted Dresses on the racks.

Most of the knits were by Gabby Skye

I grabbed a couple and headed to the fitting room to see which would be a good fit for my curvy self.

Ooh, this dress fits my curves awesomely!

Do you not see the awsomeness of this Gabby Skye dress?!






I really like this dress, but the design doesn't do a lot for my curves.  Hence ladies, choose your pattern fashion carefully!



What is up with Shoes this season?











Those are some of the looks for this Fall at Burlington Coat Factory.  I can't wait to get to the other stores to see what they have to offer.  Plus, we are still reviewing fashion in the magazines too.  Have you been to the stores?  What are you looking forward to wearing this new season?

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. ...

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...
