The Large BagTrend - Where to Shop

Several times this year, I've read articles that talks about large handbags being on the "out" and smaller handbags being the "trend".    Well guess what?  If you didn't jump on that trend-wagon, you're still in the running of being fashionable!  Personally, I really don't mind carrying a smaller handbag when I'm going out on the town (aka doing anything else other than running errands)!  Even then I prefer to carry an envelope bag or a scaled-down (in size) handbag which often tends to be on the slightly larger side!  It just depends on what you like curvy divas!  It's great to follow trends, but even better when you make a trend your own!

With this in mind, I was perusing elle.com for their recommendations on larger handbags or totes that will be perfect for you!    Shop the Trend: Large Handbags


My favorite was a Louis Vuitton Lockit MM

Now that is one beautiful tote!  However because my dollars have to suit my needs, I went in search of other places for more budget-friendly choices, with good quality! I found an article on yahoo.com written by Melissa Raineri on Where to shop Trendy Handbags. She recommended three websites for trendy but quality handbags, including baghaus.com and handbag.com!


On Baghaus.com, this gorgeous Hello Kitty bag! At less than a hundred dollars, how devine!

On Handbag.com, the choices are more European inspired, found in the UK!  There inspiration was also a crossbody satchel found at Topshop!

So you see, here in the USA or on the other side of the pond, in the UK, anywhere in the world, you can find that large handbag which is still very much IN!

A Re-post: Red Carpet Reviews - 2013 American Music Awards

Another post of mine that was a write up for Orlando Fashion Week Magazine.  It was published there previously.  If you missed it, I'm sharing it again here on my blog for the first time, with some edits for relevance of course curvy divas. A writer's work is never done! Let me know which celebrity wore your favorite style! Did you watch last year's AMAs? Me too!  It was one of the best with my favorite Mr. Worldwide, Pitbull as host.  Did you catch the fashion that walked the red carpet?  No? Well, pull up a chair and I'll fill you in. At the 2012 award show, Christina Aguilera was beautiful in all her curvyness in a Pamella Roland dress, unfortunately, she went overboard on the suntan lotion.  Last year, she showed off a much leaner physique in a white Maria Lucia Hohan cut-out dress with a high split on the side.  Her shoes were Christian Louboutin peep-toe and I loved her pave jewelry.

Hair Trends: Rainbow Colored Hair

I've got a new obsession. Yes, a new one, rainbow colored hair.  I am fascinated by the women who are bold enough to do this look. I did my own bold look two summers ago when I went a very daring red.   I am actually antsy and really want to try pink and blue and green...need I say more? LOL!  Because I have to keep my looks under wraps (at least for the next couple of months) so that I don't scare the very conservative people I work with.  I cannot be really "loud" with my hair.  In my heart I am a child of adventure and do not let others bother me but I must admit there are times when "they" will suppress my spirit. These days though I'm happy to say that I'm learning to live in the moments and I am again learning to let me be me. So yes, I will find a way to try new colors and I do like rainbow colors! How exciting. What I do like about rainbow colors are that there are some that are really LOUD , and others that make a statement without be...

Does Sustainable Fashion have a Future?

Being environmentally conscious is something I am learning to do and it is fast becoming a favorite topic of mine curvy divas . I believe that as time changes we are all learning to not just be aware of our environment but to act to protect it as well! We have to change our attitudes and behavior in our lifestyle so as to consciously help ourselves. Last month H&M along with Vogue put together a panel of fashionably conscious people participated in a live discussion held at The New School for Design at Parson's, about "How can we create a more sustainable fashion future".   Once again I turned to one of my favorite online fashion source, Refinery29  where writer Glynnis Mapp shared more about this outstanding event!  The panel discussed ways we as consumers could practice sustainability in fashion, and also how the government could be involved. There was suggestion of a "by the pound incentive program for consumers..." and where "points" could...
