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 the look at the cost that will fit our budgets! (or wait for NM's sales which can be quite the bargain!)

Guess what other trend continues into Fall?  Patterns & Prints! But this time Digital Prints!  

Lavinia One-Shoulder Dress - $550

from Neiman Marcus on neimanmarcus.com

If you take a closer look at this dress, you'll see just how beautiful it is. Unfortunately I do not see a size over 12; but I did notice others that were size 14s, such as the cocktail dress below:


Sequinned Taffeta Cocktail Dress - $398
from Neiman Marcus on neimanmarcus.com

Are you thinking about those holiday parties yet?  Me neither! But don't let that stop you from thinking about them!

Other trends for Fall are: Mixed Greens! That is, the color green in any look you like!  You can wear the different shades of green and even mix them up! I've done that before.
Etro green turtle neck and green tweed boot-cut pants - $430 & $845
from Neiman Marcus on neimanmarcus.com

Navy will be the new neutral! 
We don't always have to wear black!
Alice + Olivia Asymmetric Silk Top - $198
from Neiman Marcus on neimanmarcus.com


Women in men's wear style will be hot! (again!)

 Belstaff Weskit Quilted Vest, Ascot Georgette Blouse & Derby                  Stretch-Tweed pants -$195-$1295                       from Neiman Marcus on neimanmarcus.com

I love men's wear trousers!

Next trend, a pair of must-have-flats!
But not just any 'ole' flats, The Smoking Slipper!
Prada's The Cavallino Side-logo flats -  $690
from Neiman Marcus on neimanmarcus.com


And last but not least on the Trend List for Fall, A Brooch!
Fragments Deco Star Brooch - $125
from Neiman Marcus at neimanmarcus.com

Ooooh, I LOVE baubles!!!! 

There you have it curvy divas, the Fall Trend list from Neiman Marcus' Ken Downing!  He's got great taste! Now your mission is, to shop and treat yourself to one or two or more of these items, and remember you can shop and compare to suit your diva needs!

Found: The TShirt Dress

I found myself at the Mall of Millenia, a high-end mall the other day, Amanda and I went on a little adventure at which I was very excited. This mall is a bit farther away from us so we don't get there as often. It was about time I visited H&M...oh my love for that store has increased!!!  While I was there, I wanted to grab a handful of clothing and run to the fitting room, but I had a hard time finding my size.  Where were the larger sizes for us curvy girls??!!  I thought there was a sectioned for plus size-didn't see if one and couldn't find sizes for me. Jersey Maxi Dress w/raw edges at arms & slit It was a busy place so I couldn't ask anyone who worked there (I saw so few employees), but the store was pretty busy... however after looking around, I saw a dress I liked, a large was the largest size, I picked one in each color, a black and a grey;  it was a tee-shirt style, cotton-jersey material; with a round neckline and a slit that had me won...

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!

Fashionistas - What's in a Word

You have heard this word before curvy divas , "Fashionistas"?  When it comes to anything to do with fashion and being fashionable, I am sure you have!  Do you know who coined the word and how it came about?  Well, first of all I didn't even realized that there was a story to the word, much less it being "coined" by any one particular person!  I just thought it was one of those words that came about and became popular because of its usage and in reference to anything fashion! According to Elle.com's Culture News, in an article by Rebecca Moss , the word Fashionistas was first created by Stephen Fried. In 1993, Fried, a young Journalist was writing a book about the Model Gia Carangi, who died very young, (sidenote-have you seen the [autobiography] movie of the same name, Gia? - I did and it is one to watch)!  Stephen met with people in the Industry and wanted a word that would represent who and what they were.  Because models and the Industry weren't p...
