The wide brim hat is the hat for spring 2011. And this blue wool number by Grace is absolutely a winner!

‘Tin’ nail polish – $4 by Joe Fresh

One of my favorite colors for spring is this metallic silver shaded color ‘Tin’.

POW!!!

I found these outrageous BOLD oversized gorgeous handmade cocktail rings that are like POW all up in your face, while browsing through the Etsy jewelry department.  You will definitely be the center of attention while rockin' these babies!  Be sure to check out StudioLeanne here.  Her pieces are amazing at very reasonable prices.  You will see me rocking a couple of her pieces very very soon. 

Have a great weekend Divas!



Orange for Spring!

Orange is one of the biggest colors to emerge for spring 2011, and there's a way for every woman to wear it. For darker and deeper skin tones, don't be afraid to go for warmer deeper orange tones. This coming spring, give bright orange a chance, in whatever shade is best for you.

In Style shoe trends to look out for this Fall

Biker Boots

How To Rock These don't need to be black, as long as they have buckles or other hardware to project a tough attitude.  Try them in place of flat riding versions with leggins or a short full skirt and tights

Pointy-Toe Heels

How To Rock Compliment the sleek, sophisticated style with tailored seperates, such as cropped pants, wide leg trousers, or a pencil skirt. 

Bright Suedes

How To Rock Select a bright suede to perk up those neutral office basics and add black or grey tights to instantly create a great Fall look.

Fringe and Tassel

How To Rock High heeled and ballet flat options put a feminine spin on the men's classic.  Play this shoe up by combining it with a floral dress and a cardi or skinny cords/jeans and a chunky sweater.

We Love Colors!

A major trend for fall are tights that can carry over your open toed shoes from the summer by pairing them with a pair of colored opaque tights. When the cooler weather hits, warm up a dress or skirt with tights and boots. Tights have become very popular because they offer several benefits. (especially for us Full-Figured Divas) They can enhance the legs, make them better sculpted and create a very sexy yet classic look.  I ran across this great website We Love Colors that offers over 51 colors to chose from, and they offer plus sizes from 1x to 4x.  You will definitely find the perfect colored tights, fishnets or other hosiery items to go with any outfit .

ASOS CURVE Printed Colourblock Tunic

Was $53.92

NOW $15.17

Gotta have it!  Gotta have it!  Gotta have it!  Over at Curvy Girl Chic is where the above print tunic caught my eye and I immediately dashed over to ASOS.COM to find that the top was on Clearance and marked down from $53.92 to $ 15.17.  ASOS.com, is the UK's largest independent online fashion and beauty retailer around, and this past January they launched a plus size clothing line, ASOS CURVE, which offers a new range of plus-size apparel catering to sizes 20-26 UK (or 18-24 US).  When I found out that the above tunic was marked down, I couldn't type my credit card info fast enough (lol).  I saw several items that I would love to purchase, and they were on CLEARANCE at that, but since this is my first time ordering from ASOS and I'm not familiar with how well their items are made or if their clothing is really true to size, I will wait patiently for my top to arrive and hope for the best before I attempt to make any other purchases.  And might I add that the shipping was absolutely FREE.  I believe they have some type of promo going on right now.  ASOS could definitely be one of my fav online clothing stores.  They have a great selection and their prices are very affordable.  Gotta Love It!
