Leggings Week: Wearing Leggings Doesn't Mean You've given up on Fashion

According to Rachel Zoe, who also loves that Leggings are a pants alternative , she wrote "Wearing Leggings doesn't mean you've given up on fashion".  I love that statement and I dived in whole heartedly to read her featured article on the Zoe Report .   "You Can Wear Leggings, and Still Look Polished" . Rachel's article was written when the weather was a  lot cooler. Though her ideas to use layers and loads of accessories, "Cozy layers and bold accessories", is so on pointe!   Great minds! :)  

Curvy Looks: Window Shopping - Milly DesigNation - Loving Prints & Colors

This is the debut of a new feature on the blog that is called "Window Shopping" .  You may have remembered me mentioning that phrase before curvy divas?   Window shopping is when you go to the mall, or to your favorite store and try on clothes, just to see what they look like, but you don't buy them on that particular trip.

It is our mission to test out these new store/designer collabs out there. Consider us your R&D! (Research & Develop...

My Favorite Looks at the Oscars & Random Style Notes

Did you catch the styles on the Oscar's Red Carpet this past week curvy divas?  I did too.  My overall favorite look was worn by an actress who knows how to "kick-ass" in her movies, did just that at the Oscars.  Scarlett Johansson wore a gorgeous green Atelier Versace gown and her statement necklace was a beautiful compliment to her entire look - made a perfect style note!   Scarlett Johansson as seen on elle.com She also wore two different style earrings, nope, they didn't match. You go girl! Oprah Winfrey was very elegant in her Vera Wang gown.  I love the color, and the detailing on the bodice of the dress accentuated her shape very nicely. Style note - sheer sleeves.
