Are you comfortable in your CURVY?

 How comfortable in the shape of your body? Many women struggle with this question. As young girls we are taught that beauty is what people can see and not what they feel. When I say taught, I don't mean by our parents or teachers; I mean by visual images. Perceptions of what the American standard of beauty is or can be. How about we change that perception? How? By asking ourselves the basic question of am I comfortable in my curvy?

How can you tell if you or another woman is comfortable in their curvy? Easily done, watch how they move, they way they carry themselves or their weight. If she moves with a flow or grace like walking from one point to the next is effortless, then YES she is comfortable in her curvy.

If a women hides herself under large ill fitting clothing, doubts herself before anyone else gets the chance to, and walks with a discomfort that makes others uncomfortable by watching her move; then it's safe to assume that this woman is not comfortable in her own skin. How can this woman(women) move past how they see or feel about themselves to project a positive image that can radiate from the inside out? 

For years I've had friends of all sizes and plus size women in particular seem to not know how to carry themselves so that they; and people around them are at ease. Have you ever seen a plus size girl with jeans or other clothes so tight that her clothes are screaming LET US FREE! And when they  move the discomfort is visible?  That is clearly a woman who is not comfortable in her curvy. A woman  is truly comfortable all the above occurrences will not happen.

It really hurts me to see my sisters look as if they're hating who they are when really its who they are that makes them a better woman. Can you name women in the public eye who are curvy and beautiful? And in being comfortable in their own beauty has changed the way society views CURVY women?



I for one am going to continue to fight the good fight in hopes that one day women like myself & others will be accepted in the fashion industry. It took most of my adult years to accept my own body, and that was mostly due to what I saw boys were interested in when they were looking at girls to date. And some of those insecurities carried over into adulthood until I was able to understand and challenge what people thought beauty was.

So, I challenge you to challenge others into changing what they consider the standard of beauty to be. In the meantime stay Beautiful, Confident, & Sexy!

Brands: the good, bad, & the ugly! Just because it's recognizable doesn't make it cute!

Hola, Diva's! I've noticed a trend going around, and I wanted the opportunity to address it. Being in retail I've seen items go in and out of style over the years. It seems like the most expensive item is usually the ugliest. I never understood why some Diva's would pay top dollar to look like a low paid fool? It's a big difference between actually being different and being a clown. Ladies, if you ever get that close to the edge remember personal style doesn't come from the main stream it comes from you.We influence the top designers, so give them something to work with. There are places to shop that don't offer designer name brands, but make up for it in offering great personal style. Diva's! Step out of your box, play around with different styles, but remember not to lose yourself in the process. If going to be a fashionista you must be versatile in all things that you do. With the upcoming summer, there will be lots of exotic fashion flavors to sample. Don't get caught up in the hype of always having to wear a label to feel validated as a woman with great style. As always stay beautiful, confident, an above all a show stopper! Please follow and share with a fellow Diva. Be on the look out for the next post, Sexy, Confident, and Covered up?
