Curvy Looks at the 2015 Golden Globes

You and I both know how difficult it is to decide what to wear when you have an event to attend curvy divas.  We must consider the type of event and wear clothing that is appropriate.  Our goal is always style first, then comfort, especially depending on the weather conditions.

Do you think it is the same for actresses and celebrities too? Although they do have stylists and designers to doth on them, I'm sure they worry about what they are going to wear, and how they will look. Add to that, what we, the public, and especially those fashion critics will say about their style choices.

Tonight is one of the most glamorous moments for Hollywood film & television stars, The Golden Globe Awards. I had to check out the curvy looks on the Red Carpet.

Melissa McCarthy's style is a "DIY" (do-it-yourself) style. Do you think it is from her upcoming curvy fashion line?  She styled her gown the way she wanted it to look, and you know what.....?

I LOVE it!  I like that Melissa's look is a non-traditional look for the red carpet. The detailing on the skirt is not too overdone.  The blouson shirt also has details such as the bishop sleeves, a bow- with the right touch of glitter, and which complements the collar for a finished look. Some may think this style is totally wrong, however, her silhouette is leaner and her do-it-yourself detailing makes for greater appeal, in my opinion.  Her side-swept ponytail is the perfect hair style as well.  Her accessories are on point, including those cocktail rings!

Actress Lena Dunham is wearing a Zac Posen (hi-lo) dress.  While I like the color, what a gorgeous red it is, and the sati-sheen finish of the dress adds glamour to her look, I am however, not fond of the fit of the dress on her.  The boxy style gives an odd shape to the bodice of the dress.  I'm in love with her pointed-toe-Peter-Pan looking shoes. I would have love to see her in long, shoulder-sweeper earrings with this look.

The ever so curvy Jennifer Lopez has me going ga-ga over her smoldering looks in a Zuhair Murad gown.  She is walking and styling s-e-x-y! Oh la la. My favorite look on the red carpet!

Honorary mention goes to Kerry Washington and Sienna Miller, their dresses are amazing!  To see what Kerry and Sienna wore, and for more style looks on the red carpet, go to Marie Southard Ospina's article on bustle.com, Golden Globe Dresses at the 2015 Awards are Glam and Chic.

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...
