The Look: New Year's Eve the Weddington Way

Picture this curvy divas, your friend is getting married on New Year's Eve, oh the joy! Then she asks you to be her bridesmaid, and guess what else?  No, not wear that same bouffant dress from her cousin's wedding, oh the horror.  You will be able to create your very own bridesmaid style, your way!!!!

Your instructions are, since you are ready for this adventure, "You have to select from the bride's choice of dresses".  All you have to do is accessorize!!!! 

This beautiful champagne lace dress from Weddington Way is the one!  Picture this, I'm thinking monochromatic & luxe femininity. However, do not outshine the bride, that's always a no-no!

The Weddington Way Nora Dress: A perfect choice. Gorgeous, lace styling, monochromatic, yet luxe - you could style this many ways.

 Our choices:
Lace gloves:  What better way to add that air of sophistication and femininity, with an oomph of luxe.

Strappy heels:taupe/beige mesh number to enhance the beautiful design of the dress, and also oozes sex-appeal!



Earrings...gold filigree that shimmers as you nod happily when the bride and groom say their "I-Do's"!  



And do we need a purse or not?  Of course we do! An elegant envelope bag is necessary - no shoulder straps here! You've got to have something to put your lace hanky in.

Overall, the makeup will be vibrantly neutral, and oh that beautiful red lipstick you peeped online will be perfect because the bride wants you all to have red lips!

Plus, don't forget the bonding session with the other bridesmaids at the nail salon the day before, guess what color?  A beautiful champagne-taupe ~cue glitter~!

~Whew~ I don't know about you, but all this styling is exhausting, and totally worth it for a fabulous look!  What do you think?  Are these choices great for a festive New Year's Eve wedding? What would you wear differently?  Leave me a comment below.

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...
