Wow, I can't believe it's #NYFW already! That's New York Fashion Week for those looking with a blank stare. Ha! Two of the biggest stories are about France banning ultra thin models and Kanye West's "Yeezy" fashion unveiling. As far as the 'thin model ban', I think it's amazing that the fashion industry is becoming more adept to real life...even though we have a long way to go, especially for curvier figures. And Yeezy...people can say what they want but Mr. West is doing his thing. The nay sayers are forgetting that fashion is flexible and just because they don't care for it, that's their opinion.

Okay, back to life in the here and now...

Today is casual Friday so I'm wearing my jeans and work polo, which isn't spectacular in the least.

But yesterday, I finally rocked a simple yet stunning look that some of my favorite bloggers have done. It's the dress with booties look. Basically, you take a cute dress that is knee-length or shorter, add some tights or leggings and finish the look with some hot booties. I'm not referring to backside booties (got enough of that though), but to the ankle-height boots that come in a variety of colors and styles.

I styled mine by starting with an old maroon  sheath dress with faux leather side strips. I added some basic black leggings and some cute black booties that were a gift from my best friend. To spice it up and keep a little warmer, I added my faux leather with sheer stripes jacket. The best part of this is that I had all of this in my closet! Go team ME! 

And here are some of my favorite bloggers rocking this trendy trio of dress + tights + booties. The photos are courtesy of the ladies' blog sites.

Dusters aren't new but they are trending right now. I am currently trying to get my funds right so I can go and get a handful of them. And the Ashley Stewart models make them look so amazing on their sharp curves. Just saying...

These super cute, super long tops are chic and versatile. I love being able to have a piece that will stand out in a crowd no matter where you are. These definitely meet the requirement. 

I was going to try put them in order of the one I liked most but I was about to get a headache because I like all of them so much! So I'm going to hush and let the pictures do the talking.

Click the images to get your duster via my Amazon store (Satisfy Your Sharp Curves) or go directly to the Ashley Stewart website.

Which ones are your favorites?

After much fuss and not so much planning, it was about 24 hours before the Halloween party that I was set to attend. I hadn't ordered a costume like I was supposed to and it was way too late now.

So I took to our favorite last-minute, do-it-yourself app...Pinterest to the rescue!!! But I still wasn't gonna be able to pull anything off that complemented my curves correctly.

My friends stepped in just before I was going to back out and helped me pull together what I like to call Le Diva Ballerina.

I'm glad that I was able to wear something cute, cost-effective and comfortable. And I had an awesome time at the party.

Guess I need to start planning now for Halloween 2016...ooh, that rhymes! Maybe Wonder Woman can make an appearance next year.

It's almost time to put those super class sharp curves into a super costume! I missed dressing up for Halloween last year since I was busy breast-feeding. So glad that's overwith!!!

A couple of years ago, I came up with my super low-budget creation that stood out as an original, Super Diva! Yeah, I was cute! And I have to give a shout out to one of my idols, Wonder Woman 'cause Super Diva wasn't chasing any bad guys in her boots!

So...the big question is what should my costume be for Halloween 2015? I love how that rhymes. I know it's only 11 days away but I work well under pressure.

Being full-figured always presents a challenging goal - one that is attainable though. I started searching online to see my options. And I always, always read the reviews when purchasing online. The goal I had in mind was to find the outfits that had great comments and weren't too expensive.

My top pick, based on the price and rave reviews is the Secret Wishes DC Comics Batgirl Plus Size Adult Costume. I love the way they created the outfit with sharp curves in mind by allowing it to be sassy but not overly raunchy. I should get this just for the boot toppers alone!
What costume are you wearing for Halloween???

Happy Monday!!! No, really, I mean it. Even if you don't like Mondays or you're having a not so great start to the week, be happy for what you DO have!

Okay, enough pep talk...on to fashion. Diva's POD (pick of the day) is the "Laced Up in You" sleeveless dress from Fashion to Figure. One thing about FTF is that they know how to present styles that are becoming, chic and sexy for the more voluptuous silhouette.

From the front, this dress looks pretty normal, in a sexy kinda way. But from the side and back, this dress just graduated to blockbuster status!

I absolutely love this dress, with the back lacing being my favorite aspect.

How I'd wear a bra with this is beyond me though, other than just letting it show through (which I think is a fashion faux pas; they're called unmentionables so if you're not supposed to mention them, you sure shouldn't see them).

Anyway, have an outstanding week and remember to take one step towards your goal today and you'll be closer than you ever have been!

Happy Friday Eve! One of my good friends said that to me on a Thursday once and I've been using it ever since.

So I'm coming to grips with the fact that e-mail marketing works. Even though I don't open each and every item of the ton of what I call "sale mail" I get every day in my inbox, I find some great style inspiration in them. And it seems like I find the best items at great deals when I'm really not supposed to be shopping...but that's another blog post.

Today, the item that caught my eye is the Stella dress from IGIGI (http://www.igigi.com). I love the color combination and sheer elegance of this floor length dress. And in the sunny state of Florida, this could be a year-round stunner for multiple events.

And this model looks absolutely amazing in every photo! Great marketing IGIGI!

Have a wonderful remainder of the week and remember that whatever you allow in your life will increase in your life, whether positive or negative.

Until next time, be fashionable!

I opened the e-mail message and I was stuck. Why? The "Bridgette" Cape-Back Maxi Dress by Monif C. was staring at me. 

I sat for a  moment and took in the beauty of an amazingly designed dress. The creative team at Monif C. really showed out with this design. The color, length and flare of this dress come together in pure elegance.

This dress in on sale at the time of this post at 30% of the regular $198.00, which would run you $138.60. They have other some very cute dresses and swimsuits available at a discount too.

Until next time, remember that just because someone is worse off than you doesn't mean that they are less valuable than you.

A trend that is hot this season is the use of geometric shapes in clothes for full-figured women. I bought this dress from Dots (www.dots.com) when they had a clearance one day last season. Even though it was a little more risque than anything in my wardrobe, it was definitely and eye-catcher for me.

Check out these items that incorporate geo shapes and lines, along with bold colors. Loving this trend!



Until next time, be fashionable!
