Want: 2015 Spring Bag Guide

The list you've been waiting on whether you know it or not curvy divas, is here. The 2015 Spring Bag Guide by way of Elle Magazine online written by Fashion Editor, Danielle Prescod.

For me, it's been a while since my last handbag purchase. And although I recently got wind of what is popular and trending by way of the 2015 It Bag, it is definitely time to see what I should add to my wardrobe. How about you? Let's take a walk and see what Danielle have found for us.

The Backpack

I'm not a backpack carrying person, (though I might be now that I'm back in school) and I definitely would grab this one, the River Island black leather-look drawstring backpack below. I am a sucker for hardware and quite like the zippers and grommets which gives this bag a trendy but stylish-for-keeps look.

The Bucket Bag

One of my favorite styles in handbags that I own and love to wear during the "summer" months (June - September for me), is a white DKNY bucket bag; pictured below, This Kenneth Cole New York Nevins small leather bucket bag below reminds me so much of it - except my DKNY is half leather, half canvas. This is such a stylish look.

Nevins Street Leather Bucket Bag - Kenneth Cole

The Tory Burch bucket bag (not pictured here) on that list runs a close second because of its rocking color!

The Clutch

I do own a few clutches that unfortunately don't get out of my closet much. Clutches were mostly designated for night-time and cocktail parties. Now however, you can use them during the day and take them anywhere. Perhaps now that it has made the 2015 list I will step out with one soon. My favorite from this list is the Asos Floral Print clutch. Not only does it "scream" Spring. It looks like a "million bucks" and at quite a budget-friendly price!

The Fringe Bag

I've owned a few fringe bags in my lifetime. I don't believe I have one in my wardrobe anymore. Would this style be an option for you? Admittedly it isn't my favorite choice but I never say no to a bit of adventure! How would we wear it? Hmmm, a sporty or dressy look? I say you could dress up your fringe bag, and sporty is always a fun look! My favorite from this group is the Cleobella Fringe Crossbody. The color is perfect, and the crossbody handbag style is a plus. The lady in the image below wears the perfect look for the fringe style. Now picture that look but with heels and a dressy shirt or blouse....your style-look would be on pointe! (the "e" is deliberate!)

Also on the 2015 Spring Bag Guide list are: The Graphic Bag, much the same as a graphic tee - with a picture, my favorite type of tee. Like the LBD there is an LBB - the Little Black Bag; The Micro; The Pastel Bag...perfect timing for Spring; and last but in no way least, the very durable and I can't live without them, The Tote!

Now, go on over to Danielle's article, elle.com to see the selections for the other bags, then come back and tell me which will be your favorite go-to bag of choice.

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...
