Trend alert: White bags

You're not thinking about this right now curvy divas because you're probably frozen-in somewhere with no where to go. But think about this, you in your best spring or summer outfit, and the best looking white handbag out there that will make you strut, not walk! Can you visualize that image yet?  Hmmm, I can. And if you can't, lets get you out of the doldrums and forget about the icicles forming around you.  Here are some tips I wanted to share on how you should be wearing your white handbags in the seasons to come.

  • When wearing your white bag the best fabric to wear are knits, nylons, and satin.  Do you know why?  The dye from other types of material can rub off on your bag, and there's nothing like spoiling your best pocketbook* and not being able to clean that navy ink off.

  • It's also better to wear any other color shoes but white when you wear a white handbag. I've seen a few people do this. While there's nothing wrong, other than perhaps the "nurse effect", it is much better to wear any other color but white on your feet.

  • When buying your white handbag, choose leather or a coated canvas, where stain or dirt won't get to it easily.  I would also choose a cloth one because I could throw it into the washing machine....unless it has lots of hardware, then it's a hand wash!


Doesn't Victoria Beckham looks really great here?!  Note the color of her shoes.

If you have never worn a white handbag before, don't be afraid to do so.  In fact, let 2014 be the year that you step out of your comfort zone. Remember, resolutions, and all that jazz!  Are you feeling warmer and more excited?  I hope so. Now, show us your white handbags....

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...
