Summer is Golden with Chanel

I don’t know about you but I value my manicures and pedicures.  When summer is around it is like a fashion show for my nails.  I love to change colors on a weekly basis.  I love to mix and match.  I also love buying everything and anything that will keep my hands and feet looking divine. 

The best part about summer is the splurges.  It is the time when Travelistas can use any excuse to buy a new $25 nail polish because she absolutely needs it on her Miami adventure.  Nails are another accessory diva’s should never neglect.  Fake nails are no longer “in” and al natural should be strutted and embellished.  Nail splurges are a must when the months heat up.  If and when you decide to make that splurge I always go for classics.  You can never go wrong.

Fabulousity is when the subtleness of your look presents itself like a gorgeous present wrapped in a bow.  Chanel is iconic.  Chanel is pure luxury.  Chanel is every woman; even full figured mavens embody Chanel.  I love anything that accentuates my complexion and enhances my caramel skin.  Bronze is in and this Summer I fell head over heels for Chanel La Vernis in Illusion D’or nail polish by Chanel.  In my handbook it’s a steal for $25.  It is long lasting and chip resistant and the golden tones make any summer Golden with Chanel.
 


Stop by your local Neiman Marcus and pick up the hottest color of the summer.  If I had any top beauty pick this summer it would be to spend the last few weeks with Chanel.

“The Look For Less”: Rachel Pally vs. Maximum Woman

Ok here we have a dress that I’ve had my eye on for over two years. The Rachel Pally Caftan dress at Nordstrom. I’ve ordered this designer brand before and the material of her clothes is like butter against your skin. It’s really free flowing and comfortable on. However, it can be very pricey if not on sale. For some reason this particluar style dress by Rachel Pally “never” goes on sale so therefore, I haven’t purchased it yet. But just a few moments ago I came across this Goddess Maxi that is almost  identical to the Rachel Pally. Best thing, it’s only a fraction of the price. See for yourself:

Curvy Celeb Style Re-Created: “Jill Scott & Mo’Nique”

One of the only bad things about going to celebrity events is that you risk seeing your gown on someone else either in the same night or within a certain amount of time.  Here Jill Scott wore this dress in March to the “Why Did I Get Married Too” movie premiere and then a month later Mo’Nique wore it during her “Spread the Love” comedy tour at Madison Square Garden. I wasn’t able to locate the exact designer yet of either of their gowns but I’m willing to believe it’s this one that I found below by Adrianna Papell.

Secrets Behind a Fashionistas Pantry Closet: Never Kiss & Tell

For curvy fashionistas we have two very important closets.  One holds our designer digs and the other holds our gourmet goods.  Behind each door you find our inner most secrets.  Clothing that doesn’t fit, jeans we thought were in style, shoes that are worth the $300.  Behind the other door you find chocolate we should have stayed away from, spices we thought we knew how to use, and then you find delectable gourmet foods that were worth the $6.99 a pound.

Food for a curvy fashionista is as much of a statement as her Mela Purdie dress.  The appreciation for the fine lines and silky materials that frame our curves are followed by our respect for the finer things in life.  These finer things do not produce gluttony desires for our food.  They initiate a greater appreciation of how we can fuel our bodies.  We end up with the energy to wear these garments that drape over our statuesque bodices. 

In the spirit of coming out of the closet and sharing the secrets behind a fashionistas pantry closet there are several things one should not live without.  Just like we can’t live without our heels, or designer handbags we can’t and should not live without certain foods that are good for us.  These foods are secrets to our virtues and ultimately define our greater appreciation for food as a nutritional need and not as an excessive quencher that provides comfort.

The first is exotic or sexy fruit.  With the same old banana’s and oranges every fashionista should step out of the box and indulge in having kiwi’s, star fruit, cherries or strawberries.  In extreme moderation half a glass of organic red wine is good for you because of its antioxidants.  Olive oil spray is like the newest trend but one that is worth keeping around.  Instead of over pouring olive oil, this new bottle allows you to sprits exactly what you need and lowers the calories.

The fact is that every fashionista can give you glimpses into her closet.  Share the must haves.   But you ultimately will never fully experience the invigorating moment when the door is fully opened and we are left fully exposed.  Because no matter what a girl never kisses and tells.
