Men Are Plus Sized Too

Yes, they are!  We know it, they know it!  And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that!  Some women like a guy with a little more to him than some!  Hey, it works both ways wouldn't you agree?!  What I don't hear or seen mentioned often though are Plus Sized Men and especially nothing about Plus Sized Men's Fashion...until now curvy divas!

Larger sized men are not even referred to as "Plus Sized" That's reserved for us women!  Men are called "Big and Tall"!   I read with interest an article in the New York Times recently about fashion for the more portly men!  According to the New York Times, men who want fashionable plus sized clothing turn to GQ or to valetmag.com for their style inspiration!  There's also another plus sized website for men, chubstr.com which was founded by Bruce Sturgell in 2011.  Mr. Sturgell started the website much the same way that many websites for plus sized divas were started, because there were none, or hardly any around!  His clients are usually the men, or the women who shop for their men! He offers a lot of insights, interviews and resources!  I even see some plus size divas mentioned!





On Valetmag's website style and fashion abounds!
This unstructured Apolis jacket is featured in their "Personal Shopper"  tab!

Under their "Edit" tab they have a "Morning Report" all about style!

You know what I say to that curvy divas?  FABULOUS!  Whether the fashion world wants to admit it or not, it's great to be fabulous, beefy, and curvy!  We have needs and our needs are being met by like-minded fashion-savvy & fashionistas, male and female out there!

Go to the websites I listed above, take a look around, and see what they have to offer for the guy in your life! You can go to the link below to read the New York Times article!

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...

How to Wear Glitter in the Daytime

Have you ever worn sequin aka glitter?  It is pretty much a trend in fashion these days.  Glitter is worn mostly at nights and for real special and dressier occasions. But not so today curvy divas. Glitter can also be worn during the day!  I've worn glitter during the day time before and I try to make it look as understated as possible!  You don't need too much accessories when you wear glitter.  It is pretty much how you put your outfit together! On Elle.com Amanda Fitzsimons interviewed designer Marissa Webb who is known for using sequins during the daytime!  Amanda wanted to know if this look (daytime glitter) can really work? Marissa said it definitely can and thinks it is in how shine the sequinned (or glittered) garment that choose to wear is. It is not just in the size of the beadings at all! I tend to agree with her.   I don't think a really shiny sequinned garment on its own, would work for daytime. That would definitely be overkill! ...

The Best Hair Color for You

You choose your outfit with care, down to the shoes you wear for that particular look.  You put your makeup on, and now it's time for your hair.....why is it not looking its best?  Everything that you do in trying to style it, is just so wrong!  You're ready to scream or pull your hair out!!!! Have you ever had a bad hair day?  I know I have, more than once!  Usually, if I'm lucky, I'll have time to wear a hat, a wig or pin my hair in a way to make it work!  It doesn't matter who you are, for every woman, if your hair isn't at its best, you will not be too ! When you have your hair, as some might say "did" or "done" you know you will be at your fabulously curvy best !  One of the  things I like to do is color my hair. Yes, it's chemical, so I guess I'm not totally au naturel!  You can try a rinse, which is a way to temporarily color your hair with a new look, or you can use a permanent color and rock your hair the way you want! ...
