Balmain X H&M Collaboration

Draped Silk Skirt - SOLD OUT

It's not as if I didn't know there wouldn't be any sizes to fit my curvy bod, but I was hoping.  I was also hoping for size 11 shoes. No such luck!  I'm lucky that I can fit an XL or even up to a size Medium in most better brands.  I know some of my curvy divas or not that lucky. The one thing that I have noticed though is that the prices for the collaboration between Balmain & H&M is actually pretty good.  For those who don't mind spending a little more, they go from high, $299 and up; and those who don't want to break their pockets, from $99 and below.   That's pretty reasonable for most people's budget!  

Double Brested Men's Coat (#manstyle) - SOLD OUT


I do wish however that the range of sizes were a lot better.  And OMG, as I mentioned on Google+, they've SOLD OUT!!!  So if you wanted to get in on their collaboration...maybe next time we can!  If you have seen the styles, let me know if you would have rocked any of their looks.

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! ...
