Are You Fixated with that Thigh Gap?

I have a question for you.  Are you letting the way your body looks, or the shape you are in, stop you from being who you are?  Do you wear whatever you want to in spite of what everyone else may think?  Do you wear leggings, skinny jeans, and any figure hugging style?  Or do you avoid them because you feel your thighs are too large and you can't bear to see them in fitted clothing styles?  

Don't let that thigh gap hold you back!  You can wear whatever you want as long as you are comfortable with yourself.  Being comfortable leads to being very confident.  To have that type of confidence you must love yourself freely without fault.



Whether we like to acknowledge it or not, chafing will happen for most people.  It is a reality and nothing to be ashamed of.  Our bodies are the way they are, and unless you are going to have plastic surgery to change the look and/or shape of your body, it is a natural occurrence.  Utilizing the right body or shape wear, or shorts worn with your clothing can and will make this more comfortable for you.  Also, by exercising and getting more toned, your excessive chafing can become a thing of the past!


I have three words for you curvy divas.  Love. Your. Curves.  You have to love yourself first; love who you are; and then you will come to appreciate your body even more.  Are you going to always like the way you look?  No.  The reality is that unless you are a continuously optimistic person who doesn't give two-cents about what others say or think about you, in life you will continue to have those moments of not being too happy with yourself.  It doesn't help when we are bombarded by The Media and there are photos of super fit and trim people in magazines and everywhere.  Most times the images of models and celebrities are photo shopped, don't forget that. The thigh gap you see may not be real after all!  Learn to love your curves because they are in all the right places!


A bit of news for you curvy divas, while some women are obsessed with it, most men don't seem to care:   http://www.buzzfeed.com/lindabarsi/men-say-what-they-secretly-think-about-thigh-gaps#.xl2qLWBXQ

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...
