Vintage Clothing in Plus Sizes

Lately I've been thinking about vintage wear, especially because I watch Bravo TV a lot and a new program called Decades, features the ups and daily happenings of their store which specializes in vintage designer clothing for sizes 8 - 0. If they do carry size 10 or 12, they've never mentioned that. I'm guessing because they cater to a lot of Hollywood starlets. (although in this last episode they had a shoe sale and there were regular people shopping!)

It got me thinking that I do love vintage! I think I have mentioned that before curvy divas, especially because of my love for vintage costume jewelery. It doesn't have to be from any particular designer, as long as it appeals to my sense of style and is well made!

I thought about getting involved with plus size vintage clothing and wondered if there is such a thing? I realized that there is because of Mod Cloth and Shabby Apple fashions! I love their sites and have featured their clothing in articles in the past! But what else would be "out there" I wondered? So I turned to trusty Google and entered the words "plus size vintage clothing", and yes, they do exist! I was surprise as the variety! Some I loved immediately, some I didn't like so much.

I came across several vintage plus sized clothing sites and the ones I liked were pinupgirlclothing.com (they do also cater to regular sized divas), and Chicstar.com.

This is my favorite look at pinupgirlclothing.com:

Chicstar also carries the most darling skirts!

I have a Vintage board on Pinterest that I have been pinning some of the fashion I like to. I will definitely continue to keep pinning my inspirations on to it! This is one of my favorite jewelery look:

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! ...
