Revelling in Rebelution

By now you have heard that Torrid is in a fashion collaboration with Australian Actress and Comedienne, Rebel Wilson.  If you love comedy and movies you will know she is from the very popular Pitch Perfect, Bride's Maid, and Night at the Museum movies.  I like that whatever anyone says about her and her body type, she does not let it bother her.  I have seen her in full body tights, pleather and even in her underwear. Her confidence is totally curvilicious!


Rebel's Scuba Style Flare Dress - Skirt in background


Whenever she makes appearances I am always interested to see what she wears.  Over the years her style has evolved, as does anyone's, who discovers and develops their own style sense.  So learning about her collaboration with one of my favorite fashion haunts, Torrid...what a match made in curvy-land!


                                                               
The Pleather Skirt
(tee shirt my own from Kohl's)

On my recent visit to Torrid, I loved the tee shirts created by Rebel. Her designs were quirky, bold and colorful.  Though I really loved the tees I honestly felt the cost for a tee was too high. I just couldn't see myself paying $58 for a tee shirt, sorry Rebel!  There was a poster hanging on the wall in the store with a model wearing a skirt from the line.  It was a pleather/fabric number with an A-Line cut.  I loved the styling and gravitated towards it on the rack.  I also noticed a zippered style dress in the same A-line cut.  It had a full skirted look I have been seeing lately in the stores.  The fabric of the dress reminded me of a scuba diver's suit.  I was intrigued!



In the fitting room, the fit of the skirt was perfect and I loved it. With the leather look in front and the stretch fabric in back, what a gorgeous look on my derriere.  The dress was an amazing fit as well. The best thing about the style? Rebel gave us a style-fit that really complements our curves.  The dress is sleeve less tank style yet it kept my body covered with no gaping at the arm holes.  The zippered front went to the waist, and the full skirt was not too full so I felt really feminine instead of enourmous in it.  I think I found my Holiday dress!  Every woman needs an LBD (Little Black Dress).



I walked out of the store feeling quite satisfied with my fashion find from this collaboration, especially because Torrid was having a BOGOHO (Buy one Get One Half Off) on that day! Woot!  I think I may just visit again just to get a tee shirt....I know, don't you just hate when you do that!lol!

Fall 2012 Trends

Summer is not yet over but already the fashion world has moved on, for some time now, to Fall !  I love to peruse any information I see about Fall Fashions before the season begins too; learning what the colors and styles will be, and to see if there are any trends to follow. Where trends are concerned, I firmly believe that it is best to choose the look that will work best for you.  You can follow a trend, but you should tweak it to make it your own! This is how you discover your own sense of style! I love receiving emails from Ken Downing, Fashion Director for Neiman Marcus !  He shared quite a lot of details in his latest E-mail newsletter to me!  To start off, one of Fall's fashion trend will be the: Statement Handbag : Michael Kors Skorpios Haircalf Ring Tote - $1,695 from Neiman Marcus on neimanmarcus.com Yes, animal print continues even into the Fall season!  Budget conscious divas will do what we do best and shop around for th...

Wearing Red

It's Valentine's Day again and I'm sure many of you curvy divas are wondering what to wear tonight?  Some of us have plans, but others will keep it low keyed at home...or not! Whatever you do curvy divas, I found some great suggestions on Elle.com!  They featured RED , in everything, accessories, clothing, make up, even underwear!  Here are my favorite picks! I LOVE this dress! The silhouette is beautiful and will flatter most body types!  I checked and this item doesn't go larger than a size 12 by the designer, and they are out of this style at Neiman Marcus, however, it's a great look and you can find something similar elsewhere!  If it is too long, find a shorter length.
