The 5 Tips You Need to Know Before Buying Your Next Pair of Jeans

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've shared this information before but since our minds will be fashion-forwarding to Fall soon, why not re-share some great tips from Petra Flannery on Heidi Klum's website at www.heidiklum.aol.com:

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

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 also petite-size women.

Remember to take these tips 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.

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...
