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?

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!

Backstage at OIFW Model Casting Call

On Saturday, yesterday in fact, I had the pleasure of attending a casting call for models , an event organized and hosted by Fierce Entertainment Management for their upcoming Orlando International Fashion Week, November  2-8, 2014 . Attendees at the event were welcomed by Fierce Entertainment's, Rob Henlon who then handed the program over to the vivacious Kristania Vielot who instructed the aspiring models for their walk down the runway, strutting their stuff for the designers and other members of the Fierce team. As the models strutted to the sound of the music-mix pumping, guests sipped and ate refreshments that were provided.   Before they walked the impromptu runway, I had a little  tête-à-tête   with three of the young models, Logan-9, Ashley-6 and Aiden-4,  beautiful, cute, and adorable , (who won't want me to call them that, but I am because they were) whose future will lead them to become what they dream of!   ...

Lacquered: Move over Glossy, Matte Nails are in!

In Purewow's Beauty section online, I read with interest that the new trend for nails this fall will be the matte finished,  as in shine-free!  Well move over glossy & shiny!  Remember curvy divas , there is matte makeup ; matte lipstick ; I even remember the matte finish jewelry trend , and now we have matte nail polishes!! Did you ever think that trend would be in nail polishes too?   According to Purewow, the Matte Finish not only comes as a nail polish, but also as a Top Coat! They recommend that we first try the top coat in matte finish to see if we like the look.  You can apply it over your regular nail color of the week and have matte-finished nails! Top Coat in Matte Finish SHOP The budget-friendly and cautious side of me agrees this would be a safe way to see if you do like the look (although at $19 each there's nothing cheap about it!) and just in case you don't want to splurge on every color in the line of matte finishes, I guess i...
