Curvy events: Get your Curve On - Curve Nation Welcome Reception

This blogger had the pleasure of attending Curve Nation's Welcome Reception, day 1 of their fashion weekendheld at the International Palms Resort.  When I walked into the hotel conference center this evening (Friday, June 11th) I was greeted by a bevy of very beautiful women.

The look, the cut, Miss Pinky's got it!



The atmosphere was one of expectation and fun, fun, fun curvy divas!  I was impressed with the selection of merchandise the Artisans who will be at the EXPO tomorrow (Saturday, July 12th) has to offer.  Quite a few of these entrepreneurs make their own stuff!  From natural, organic soaps by Two Sisters Soaps & Sundries, to clothing and jewelry by Lipstick Killer Collection & Beyond the Curves Boutique.

Yes, our curvy bodies can fit these curvy styles, exactly what Beyond the Curves Boutique had in mind for us with the clothing they sell! 

There was also a plethora of make up and skin care mavens whose natural & cruelty free products promises to enhance our skin.  Anti-aging skin care by M3K beauty, Kim Johnston created this line after getting fed up with the products being offered for women that did nothing much in making her feel and look better.  M3K beauty is also a co-sponsor of this event. 

Younique Products, a no cruelty, naturally free makeup and skin care line; Brushes of Beauty by Angelia StevensonJay Jill Cosmetics has products geared for everyone and particularly for African American skin.

Other make up consultants and lines I had the pleasure of meeting:
Willen Buchholz and Karolyn Hughs, Independent Beauty Consultants from Mary Kay


Jessie from Black Sheep Cosmetics

Pure Romance by Ebony Johnson



KKJewels



Love the name of this boutique!

Wearing Red

It's Valentine's Day again and I'm sure many of you curvy divas are wondering what to wear tonight?  Some of us have plans, but others will keep it low keyed at home...or not! Whatever you do curvy divas, I found some great suggestions on Elle.com!  They featured RED , in everything, accessories, clothing, make up, even underwear!  Here are my favorite picks! I LOVE this dress! The silhouette is beautiful and will flatter most body types!  I checked and this item doesn't go larger than a size 12 by the designer, and they are out of this style at Neiman Marcus, however, it's a great look and you can find something similar elsewhere!  If it is too long, find a shorter length.

This beautiful dress is also not available in larger sizes. It goes to...

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! ...
