Happy Blogoversary Fabulously Curvy - Year Three!

~Happy Blogoversary, Happy Blogoversary, Happy Blogoversary, Hhaaaaapppppy Blog-o-ver-sa-ry!~


Wow curvy divas, it is that time again, we commemorate the date Fabulously Curvy blog began.  We wrote an article in 2013 for our First Year Blogversary, but I don't remember why I didn't do one for year two?!  However, that's in the past and we are moving forward with excitement and looking forward to what is to come for us. Happy Birthday Fabulously Curvy! First article published on May 30, 2012.








In 2014 we covered happenings such as: Alexander Wang's first  collab with H&M; and National Handbag Day.  We covered events such as: going backstage for Orlando International Fashion Week, covering their casting call; and announcing the launch of Beyond the Curves First Showcase here in Orlando.  We shared curvy news such as the launch of Domino Dollhouse's new fashion line, Science Vision Collection, and did our first Vlog "How To", showing you "How to Cuff Your Jeans".  We were nominated for the "Very Inspiring Blogging Award".  And last but certainly not least, I wore swimwear as outerwear!


 
 


Although our genre, Plus Size, has come a long way in the Fashion Industry and is making improvements, growing and being accepted in leaps and bounds, 2014 found us questioning ourselves because of what others who were regular size but identified themselves to be plus size, had us going "Uh"?  "Were they really"? The Australian model whose news made a big splash, and we shook our heads and wondered what is the true plus size.



We had fun celebrity moments sharing fashionably clad celebrities at the Emmy's & the Golden Globes, We showcased male celebrities fashionable moments (yes, they do have them too) in what we love to call "Manstyle" at the Oscars, We also showcased fashionably clad men in trendy looks such as Meggings. We continue to share information about sustainability in clothing design as we did when H&M launched their "Go Green" campaign with Conscious Denim.




In trying to find that look that appeals to our aesthetics, our blog continues to improve in the direction that will have us feeling fashionably content. We also created a Facebook Fan page, Fabulously Curvy Blog and you can find us on Pinterest.  Last year by way of our main PIC, Person in Charge, Donna Foreverserenity, we had our first Blogger's Meet Up Hub online.



Well, it has certainly been quite a busy year for us wouldn't you agree?  And that's only  a pinch of what we have covered last year! We haven't even touched the surface about all of the curvy looks, love it or leave it, and oh those celebrity faux paux!  Bet we will have fun doing this again for next year!  What do you think?

Thank you so much for reading with us, sharing our work, and for being our fans.  In looking forward to goals and the future, you will often see "We" it is not a form of misleading it's a form of putting out to the Universe our dreams. I thank you again curvy divas and gents who love us.

How to Wear Glitter in the Daytime

Have you ever worn sequin aka glitter?  It is pretty much a trend in fashion these days.  Glitter is worn mostly at nights and for real special and dressier occasions. But not so today curvy divas. Glitter can also be worn during the day!  I've worn glitter during the day time before and I try to make it look as understated as possible!  You don't need too much accessories when you wear glitter.  It is pretty much how you put your outfit together! On Elle.com Amanda Fitzsimons interviewed designer Marissa Webb who is known for using sequins during the daytime!  Amanda wanted to know if this look (daytime glitter) can really work? Marissa said it definitely can and thinks it is in how shine the sequinned (or glittered) garment that choose to wear is. It is not just in the size of the beadings at all! I tend to agree with her.   I don't think a really shiny sequinned garment on its own, would work for daytime. That would definitely be overkill! ...

Fall 2012 Trends

Summer is not yet over but already the fashion world has moved on, for some time now, to Fall !  I love to peruse any information I see about Fall Fashions before the season begins too; learning what the colors and styles will be, and to see if there are any trends to follow. Where trends are concerned, I firmly believe that it is best to choose the look that will work best for you.  You can follow a trend, but you should tweak it to make it your own! This is how you discover your own sense of style! I love receiving emails from Ken Downing, Fashion Director for Neiman Marcus !  He shared quite a lot of details in his latest E-mail newsletter to me!  To start off, one of Fall's fashion trend will be the: Statement Handbag : Michael Kors Skorpios Haircalf Ring Tote - $1,695 from Neiman Marcus on neimanmarcus.com Yes, animal print continues even into the Fall season!  Budget conscious divas will do what we do best and shop around for th...

The Best Hair Color for You

You choose your outfit with care, down to the shoes you wear for that particular look.  You put your makeup on, and now it's time for your hair.....why is it not looking its best?  Everything that you do in trying to style it, is just so wrong!  You're ready to scream or pull your hair out!!!! Have you ever had a bad hair day?  I know I have, more than once!  Usually, if I'm lucky, I'll have time to wear a hat, a wig or pin my hair in a way to make it work!  It doesn't matter who you are, for every woman, if your hair isn't at its best, you will not be too ! When you have your hair, as some might say "did" or "done" you know you will be at your fabulously curvy best !  One of the  things I like to do is color my hair. Yes, it's chemical, so I guess I'm not totally au naturel!  You can try a rinse, which is a way to temporarily color your hair with a new look, or you can use a permanent color and rock your hair the way you want! ...
