Bodacious Brides!

Kelly Rowland isn't the only lucky lady getting married, watch out for the THICK brides! Yes ladies, the day we all look forward to...DUAL INCOME otherwise known as getting married. There are so many details to consider, and loads of wrong turns that can be made. How do we avoid all this? Simply by getting a wedding planner, but if your like me and have a budget that's NOT an option. What's a bride to do?

First of all get your head in the game! This is not a problem but a challenge, a conundrum is you will; that must be solved before the big day. First pick your date, what do you see when you envision your wedding? Are you outside, inside, spring time, summer time, or fall? The date you pick correlates with the season and affects your choice of dress for you and your wedding party. 

Next, choose your colors. Big girls, we can wear any color we want, just make sure it suits you or your

wedding party. Also, who says the bride has to wear white? White is traditionally for virgins, let's keep it
100; most of us are not virgins we just keep the tradition going. You can be adventurous with the color scheme to make a truly unique vision come to life. 

The next focus should be on your venue. Besides finding the perfect dress, the venue is the second hardest task of putting together a wedding. You have to decide if you want the reception to be in same place as the ceremony or travel to two separate places.  Keep in mind separate places means SEPARATE deposits. By choosing different areas you will be spending more money, but if it can't be avoided then a woman's got to do, what a woman's got to do!

Then, you want to focus on all the small things that can get lost in the chaos of planning a wedding. Like for example, deciding how to style your hair. If your an anal bride (LOL) you would also choose how you'd like your wedding party to style their hair also. Sometimes you can leave stuff like this to chance, but WHY?

  Also, don't forget shoes and accessories, and the all important Wedding Night Lingerie.This is the night to let all your inhibitions run FREE, your with your life partner, so there is no 
Here are a few thangs that can get the party started real quick:

Lastly, ladies say YES to the dress! with all the different selections out in the bridal world it can be more than
overwhelming to decide on the dress that will be timeless, elegant, and memorable. As a plus size women, I refuse to stick with the same boxy design that most luscious size ladies do. I would want something that reflects my personality, pushes the envelope of traditional thinking, and of course is drop dead sexy! Check out some dress choices that I thought would suit every type of bride, from traditional to over the top!

 As as you search for dresses remember everything isn't for everybody, LIKE THIS...

 

And PLEASE remember this! Spanx or any other shaping garment can help hid what you don't want people to see, and accentuate what you do!

Tracks show? Oh no!

Yes, we're going to take it there! I talking about long, short, and medium hair. It's our crown and glory, while simultaneously being the first thing people notice about you. If someone was to ask you, what are you saying about yourself by having the hairstyle you have now, what would it be? How would you answer?

As a woman, I have went through many hair transitions. Not as many as most; but I've had my share. I've done things to my hair that I've shouldn't have done in the name of beauty and trying to make my appearance more attractive to the opposite of sex. Ultimately, that's why we do it ladies! Not just for ourselves and confidence, but to be attractive.  With that being said we must address the weave! Listen, it doesn't matter to me if you wear a weave, wig, lace front, or whatever; but if your going to wear it please wear it right! 

I'm going to keep it straight up real with you, I've seen women go in public with their tracks (weave) showing and swear they're the hottest chick moving! No my dear, please have a seat! You cannot conduct business with your tracks interrupting the conversation, I'm going to need you to fix that!

I have naturally long hair that doesn't cooperate with some styles that I want to do, also I know that most styles ( though are cute as hell) I can't pull off with just my hair; due to the lack of volume. With those styles I would need a weave just to make my hair look full; but I know that I wouldn't be able to keep up the maintenance, so I stick to what I know. 

In the past I've tried to get a quick weave (only once) and I swear I'll never do it again! Do y'all remember the movie Cone heads? Well, that's what I looked like with hair! I had too much real hair to pull off the look. I quickly took that mess out, got me a relaxer(years before I went natural), and a wrap styled my hair. Also, I tried to get my hair braided using human hair; only to have the braiding hair slid, YES SLID off of my real hair; because my hair is thin (again I lack volume)! 

 Ladies, my point is this...know what you can and can't do.

 No business person is going to take you seriously
if you look as if you've never made it past your first year of beauty school. First impressions last a lifetime, second impressions cement who you are. With that being said let's take a look at some BAD impressions that tracks have made:

The only thing you can say to a friend that looks like this is...

But don't let the bad weave styles discourage you from being creative with your hair if you so chose to keep using a weave. In my own opinion, the point of wearing a weave is the same as wear great clothes. To look good and give you confidence. The best weaves are the ones that you can't tell its a weave. The hair looks natural and beautiful. In my research I've found so ladies who got it right, check out these styles:

Fashion Plus's Holiday Wish List: Dominique's Picks For The Perfect Gift!

Happy Holidays Divas! This time of year we are all running around trying to prepare for family visits, party planning, traveling, shopping; all while still working, taking care of our families, and trying to maintain our sanity. With all this hectic activity going on we lose sight of ourselves. Instead of taking a breath; we take off top speed in order to get all our tasks done. In preparing for the holidays,we attempts to cater to others by giving them what they want; while not getting what we want or need. So, beautiful people we are taking the day off. Set some time aside for yourself. Get a drink, take a hot bath, or maybe spend some sort of alone time with your own thoughts. While, your taking that time to yourself try and figure out what it is you want Santa to bring your for Christmas. Here are some of the thing I will be asking Santa for when I take a seat on his knee this year!

This first thing I want is a Sexy Photo Shoot! Sometimes being a mom, and budding entrepreneur I get stuck in a routine. Its easy for me to throw on anything to run an errand or not care about what I look like. I want this photo shoot to remind me that I'm always going to be a sexy plus size diva, no matter how crazy my life is.

The next thing I would love is to be able to finish writing and publish my book that I've been working on for years. I love full figured novels, and become inspired by other authors. But I too want to be apart of this elite society and write about all the things that are in my heart.

Next, is a Dell Inspiron Ultrabook with touch screen. This diva defiantly needs a new computer in order to create works of art inside the pages of a book. Though my old computer is reliable  I really need an upgrade!

This beauty is a Tiffany & Co. Jean Schlcmberger cones bracelet in 18k gold. I want this just because it gorgeous! And of course beautiful girls deserve beautiful things!





This is for the diva on the go! I already have an Ipad mini, but what I don't have is a bluetooth keyboard to go with it. With this it will be a whole lot easier to write my blog, take notes, and do basically everything on the go without the discomfort of trying to type and hold up the device.

And if all the above wasn't enough, I need an Amazon.com gift card to feed the shopping beast I have!






I could always get these things my self, but I've been a good girl this year (sort of!) so I thing Santa a spare a little something extra! Happy Holidays Beautiful People!
