Here I am with a swim cover up on......... a very sheer swim cover up! Will it work?   Am I that bold.....?

There are times in your life when you come to realize that some things are just not working.   You want change, a change for the better in order to make your life the way you want it to be.   Have you ever experienced this dear readers? Me too!  And so with that in mind, there will be a lot of "tweaking going on"! You know it was going to happen again, I mentioned it the last time I made changes to my blog-sites. There is so much more work to be done to have the blog that I dream of!  This will be the beginning of a new adventure and I'm looking forward to it!  I've been sitting on the fence too long and have decided to jump in feet first!lol! Before I can do the big reveal though, there are changes I have to make so that this can happen.  Stay tune to my blogs for more.  I will continue to post new articles as often as possible on my blogs and will warn you when there will be down-times in between postings.  You know how it is when yo...

Is it cold enough for you yet curvy divas?   Even here in Orlando, it has been in the perky 60's all day, with a blast of wind reminding us that yes, it does get cold here too - ~brrrrrrr~!   Today I just threw on a sweater jacket, while making a mental note to sort my more fashionable "winter" coats, STAT!~ Some time in October, I posted an article about the different choices of coats to wear for this winter season. This is the perfect time to do a re-post, because surely, I need an upgrade.  If you need some guidance, follow the link below, and remember to show me your choices for this season! 30 Coats: One for every day of the cold season ~ Fabulously Curvy

In March of 2012 before I decided to create this blog, I shared my love for Vogue magazine on my d-foreverserenity blog with the article I am super-imposing below. I have this "thing" for magazines. I won't say obsession...I love the glossy pages, the colors, and usually read them from cover to cover....! I had so many magazines piled up, I had to get rid of them...and yes, regretted it the minute I did! Anyway, I'm so glad there are online choices now!!!! Takes up less place in my bedroom!lol! I have saved some of my favorite issues, and shared some style inspiration and observation below. These were my  favorite looks from a  Vogue  magazine issue from August 2006 , six years ago in the past, I know, but I have tons of mags and I love  flipping  through the pages!  These  looks are so fresh today !!  Vogue  featured the color combination of  "The  Red  is the new Black" - red being the new black at the time!

http://downtownorlandofashionweek.com/ I f you remember curvy divas, the last time I shared information about the upcoming fashion week in Downtown Orlando , I debuted my first article as a volunteer blogger for the event magazine.   If you missed it, go here . Since then, I've written more articles, and along with the other bloggers involved, will have one article published weekly until the grand events, November 3-9, 2013! I am placing DOFW on my "One to Watch" list because it is not just about fashion, but also with some socially-minded collaborations involved by way of local Charity, Harbour House of Central Florida which helps domestic violence survivors and their children.   There will be fashion's night out events and of course, fashion shows, so if you are in the Orlando area, be sure to join in and attend any or all of these events.   Here's a link to my two latest articles from last week's issue:   http://downtownorlandofashio...

Last year I created a list of "wants" to add to my summer wardrobe in an article I shared with you curvy divas , My Summer Wish List !  Unfortunately two of the photographs are no longer there. However I am happy to report I got the nude shoes I wanted! Steve Madden Nude Platforms There are several more fashion wants on my list!  I have pinned on my Pinterest board,   Want 2013 , so far, only a few of the fashion items I want to own for this year, not just for Summer! A pair of leather leggings! Yes, it's leather or perhaps pleather, if they're not real, but look good enough to be real!  Mind you, it is hot in Florida, however, I sit inside in the AC all day...then again, they won't be a wear-to-work item! Who cares... .I want them! These from KOOVS are really great! KOOVS PU Panelled leggings I've been lusting after chambray shirts , jeans vest, jeans dress; I finally have the jeans dress!  However, the shirt, and the vest, not yet! ...

Are you on Pinterest?  If so, come on over to my board for Curvy Divas !   I do really adore women of size who are confident and love themselves!  My pinterest board is about that! I pin photos of women who love fashion, and aren't afraid to be the confident divas in what they wear!  I pin style-looks that I would love to wear, and am inspired to want more for us curvy divas! The images below are from some of the other women with curves who blog!  What I love about each of them is they are not afraid to use color, nor do they look like everybody else!  This is a lesson in that you have to choose the style that will work best for you and one in which you will be comfortable in! Remember to be fashionably curvy, you have to be you!

In an effort to make my blog the creative muse I dream of it to be, I'm going to select a new look. Just so you know, this upcoming change may not possibly be the last time (never say never right?!) as I am  contemplating if I am staying with Blogger or not.  While I do own my blog name, there's a certain look I want that Blogger doesn't seem to offer and it's probably on Blogger somewhere, (because maybe they might have it and I just haven't found it yet) as I need to take the time to look for what I want.  I'm going to build the look I want to have, perhaps not from scratch, but somehow I will!  Don't be surprise if you open up to read with me and I have a different look on my blog. Doing this will allow me to do some of the other things I've wanted to do.   I hope you will be as excited about change curvy divas , as I am!  I will continue to post new articles! In the meantime, stay tune to this space!
