Having Effortless Style

There are times when I feel like dressing up, piling on lots of jewelry, makeup and really "killing it" with my fashion look.  And there are those times when I just want to be simply yet stylishly dressed.  No fuss, yet exuding effortless style.



I find that as I get older I am geared towards making my style more effortless.  Oh still stylish, just not as over the top as I used to be.  I wonder if it is because of our mindset, how we begin to look at life, where we are, what we are doing and what our outlook is why we begin to think differently?  I like to think that it is just a part of me growing up!


So while I will continue to "rock out" and have my fierce fashion moments, I want to do it in a way that exudes style-spotter confidence rather than as a trendy fashionista.  Am I making sense to you I wonder curvy divas?!  
I'm not going to stop being me.  Instead, I will be even more selective in what I wear, and wear it with the confidence of who I am.  

Going forward I am going to have a series of "style-spotting effortless fashion" and share what I think those fashion are.  How about you, are you changing up your looks and how you feel about your fashion?  I would love to know what you are doing differently these days!

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.

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...
