Do you like to wear denim curvy diva?  I don't mind wearing denim, but for me it is not my go-to item to wear. However, when I do where my denim, it's because I'm in the mood to, and it's especially when I'm feeling toned and confident.


This is a look I wore to the office, dark blue jeans from Old Navy
Denims are a great item to have in your closet no matter what, and every girl should own at least two pairs. Why at least two pairs? Well my dear curvy divas, one pair for dolling up and going out on the town, or to wear to the office; which means it should be a dark color, whether dark navy blue or black; and the second pair for fun, and casual wear, and you won't mind sitting in the grass for a picnic, which can be a light blue; stone-washed, or any other shade in-between! That said, I own about six pairs...maybe more!lol!

Next to a bathing suit fitting,  or a bra fitting, finding the best pair of jeans for your body type can be quite stressful.  I found some great tips from Petra Flannery on Modelprenuer (yes I made up that word because she's a business mogul, model-spokesperson-entertainment guru.....) Heidi Klum's website at www.heidiklum.aol.com:



The Best Jeans for your Body Type by Fashion Expert Petra Flannery


The tips I learned from this article were: 

Skinny jeans are not for everyone. So true. But I also agree that you can find the right skinny jeans for you, just balance it out with the top you wear, and wear the look with confidence.

Bootcut legs, or flare leg jeans balances out your body.  It's great for someone with really skinny legs, according to the article.  For me personally, I do own a pair of bootcut, the legs are slightly flared, and tapers from a close-fit on top to slightly wider below the knees. Just find the right pair that fits your body.

High waisted jeans gives a better fit for those with muffin tops.  I do agree, and as the article recommends, it is better to wear one if you have really long legs and/or a tall torso, meaning if you're considered to be high-waisted.   This style would not be a good look for me.

If you don't like wearing skinny jeans, the straight-leg jeans can create that look for you.  It will be a fitted look but not a super-tight look.  A great idea for most women because it is more forgiving. Plus I would recommend if you want to see how you would look in a skinny pair of jeans, trying a straight leg is a good way to go.

Low-rise jeans is a good choice for women who are considered to be short-waisted, and even petites.

So, there you have it, I believe these are some great tips to take with you on your next shopping excursion for that great pair of jeans.  Click on the photo above, or go to the article link here.

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! ...
