Curvy Divas at the Golden Globes & Other Favorite Fashion Moments

The Golden Globes Awards were on Sunday night curvy divas, and being one of my favorite award shows, hosted by two of my favorite comediennes, Tina Fey & Amy Poehler, I had to watch!   Loving fashion as much as I do, I tuned in to see what the actresses were wearing on the red carpet.  They turned out in their finest gowns and jewelry.  It was great to see bright colors as worn by Sandra Bullock in Prabal Gurung (pictured below), Amy Adams (pictured below) in Valentino and Julie Bowen in Carolina Herrera, wore color-blocked gowns.

Julia Roberts wore Dolce & Gabbana, I loved that she wore a white button down shirt with her strapless gown. The fashion commentators hated it, but who cares?!  She loved it and rocked her style with confidence.

Kerry Washington was the best looking baby-mama on the carpet for me.  I liked her Balenciaga gown which was appropriate and flattering for her pregnancy.

Sophia Vergara wore the best statement necklace, a turquoise collar by her favorite red carpet jeweler, Lorraine Schwartz; and a Zac Posen ballgown was beautiful

This actress' look was a crowd favorite and I agree.  Lupita Nyong'o wore her dress well!

The three notable curvy divas on the red carpet at the Golden Globes, namely, Gabourey Sidibe, Melissa McCarthy and Lena Dunham, were quite varied in their styles. I like that they each took their own style risks while staying true to who they were.

Our curvy divas didn't get a lot of love from the fashion commentators, or even the viewers, which was rather sad. Being "out there"(society) in the limelight as a woman who doesn't fit the mold of what Hollywood demands can be quite a daunting task, however, these women are doing it - rock on curvy divas! 

What do you think curvy divas? Whose look did you like best?  Do you agree with what was said about what our curvy actresses wore?

Me 'n My 'Fro: On Being Natural - How it began

I mentioned the first article I wrote   about my hair that I would share with you my hair journey curvy divas. For the next couple of Wednesdays, that is what I will do on this blog.  If you are black aka African American as we say here in the United States (technically, I'm Caribbean-American), you know the ins and outs of our hair journeys. The success, when you rock your hair and look fierce; the woes, when you just give up and put on a hat!lol! And even wear a hat, just because you wanna rock that new hat!   I have always had what some called "a head full of hair", so much that the authenticity of my hair came into question quite a couple of times.  My mom loved to style our hair (my sisters and me) and would always have her girls looking beautiful in ribbons and hair clips where ever we went!   There are two incidents I remember distinctly, as a child, and as an adult.  Once in Primary school (that is Elementary here in the USA), a teach...

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...
