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!

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!   ...

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!
