My Favorite Looks at the Oscars & Random Style Notes

Did you catch the styles on the Oscar's Red Carpet this past week curvy divas?  I did too.  My overall favorite look was worn by an actress who knows how to "kick-ass" in her movies, did just that at the Oscars.  Scarlett Johansson wore a gorgeous green Atelier Versace gown and her statement necklace was a beautiful compliment to her entire look - made a perfect style note!

She also wore two different style earrings, nope, they didn't match. You go girl!

Oprah Winfrey was very elegant in her Vera Wang gown.  I love the color, and the detailing on the bodice of the dress accentuated her shape very nicely. Style note - sheer sleeves.

Actress Meryl Streep's style sense never goes the traditional route.  Her looks over the years at the various award shows has always been quite eclectic because she often wears her own look and “marches to the beat of her own drum”.  Style note - she accentuated her waist with a broad belt, and the length of the jacket balances that of the skirt.

 Octavia Spencer wore Tadashi Shoji design, and once again, it was a winner!  It’s very elegantly designed and I’m guessing very couture.  Style note - I love the ruching at the waistline which accentuates her waist and the train complements the dress quite well.


 Viola Davis was stunning and her natural hair was a great accessory!  Yes!   Style note - the statement necklace.

How can I not mention Jennifer Lopez?  She was a vision in Elie Saab!  Did you see that her dress was matched to perfection to her skin, and even her hair! Style note - the belted waistline.

Jennifer Lopez - what a stunner!

A Re-post: Red Carpet Reviews - 2013 American Music Awards

Another post of mine that was a write up for Orlando Fashion Week Magazine.  It was published there previously.  If you missed it, I'm sharing it again here on my blog for the first time, with some edits for relevance of course curvy divas. A writer's work is never done! Let me know which celebrity wore your favorite style! Did you watch last year's AMAs? Me too!  It was one of the best with my favorite Mr. Worldwide, Pitbull as host.  Did you catch the fashion that walked the red carpet?  No? Well, pull up a chair and I'll fill you in. At the 2012 award show, Christina Aguilera was beautiful in all her curvyness in a Pamella Roland dress, unfortunately, she went overboard on the suntan lotion.  Last year, she showed off a much leaner physique in a white Maria Lucia Hohan cut-out dress with a high split on the side.  Her shoes were Christian Louboutin peep-toe and I loved her pave jewelry.

Hair Trends: Rainbow Colored Hair

I've got a new obsession. Yes, a new one, rainbow colored hair.  I am fascinated by the women who are bold enough to do this look. I did my own bold look two summers ago when I went a very daring red.   I am actually antsy and really want to try pink and blue and green...need I say more? LOL!  Because I have to keep my looks under wraps (at least for the next couple of months) so that I don't scare the very conservative people I work with.  I cannot be really "loud" with my hair.  In my heart I am a child of adventure and do not let others bother me but I must admit there are times when "they" will suppress my spirit. These days though I'm happy to say that I'm learning to live in the moments and I am again learning to let me be me. So yes, I will find a way to try new colors and I do like rainbow colors! How exciting. What I do like about rainbow colors are that there are some that are really LOUD , and others that make a statement without be...

Does Sustainable Fashion have a Future?

Being environmentally conscious is something I am learning to do and it is fast becoming a favorite topic of mine curvy divas . I believe that as time changes we are all learning to not just be aware of our environment but to act to protect it as well! We have to change our attitudes and behavior in our lifestyle so as to consciously help ourselves. Last month H&M along with Vogue put together a panel of fashionably conscious people participated in a live discussion held at The New School for Design at Parson's, about "How can we create a more sustainable fashion future".   Once again I turned to one of my favorite online fashion source, Refinery29  where writer Glynnis Mapp shared more about this outstanding event!  The panel discussed ways we as consumers could practice sustainability in fashion, and also how the government could be involved. There was suggestion of a "by the pound incentive program for consumers..." and where "points" could...
