Vera Wang in Larger Sizes

You might know by now curvy divas, Kohl's is one of my favorite stores to shop! I love it because they carry fabulous names in fashion and fabulous finds for every sizes, including ours! You have seen the other some of the clothes I've gotten from Kohl's but I've never shared my Vera Wang finds...um..not true, I just remembered, I did share it before! My Vera Wang sheath dress (XL) from several seasons ago that I absolutely love to wear! I paired it with leggings, (have worn with jeans or dress pants too)! See the look here:

One of the other items I have from Vera Wang (XL), a long Satin Jacket with Self Sash/Belt. It is knee length and I've worn it with dresses, skirts and pants. Always "out on the town", but never to work. Until recently! I've decided that my clothes will no longer sit in my closet waiting for me to find somewhere "nice" or some "fancy occasion" to wear them! I spend so many hours five days a week at work curvy divas, why can't I wear one or two (or more) items to work? As with anything that I always say to you, choose your style, get the look you love and just go for it!

This black satin jacket has awesome detailing that I really like!

Round neckline, pleat-details down the front!

The label, not great lighting!

Surprise! It has pockets! Great to hold my cellphone! Note the self-belt

I wore a black tank beneath, hooks are in front

Worn with gray pants from Old Navy

A closer look at the neckline!

Three quarter sleeves (to the elbows)

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! ...
