Spotlight Saturday - Trendy Styles For Plus Size Ladies
Sometime last week, I did a blog on comedienne Melissa McCarthy who stepped outside of the box to design her own dress that she wore to this year's Emmy's. She's in the spotlight this week for being quoted as saying ... "Trying to find stuff that's still fashion forward in my size is damn near impossible". The 41 year old actress who recently made herself a house hold name from her appearance in the now out on dvd movie Bridesmaids, makes no qualms about the fact that she embraces her size and hopes to design a clothing line for women with similar body types. Although I agree with her that there shouldn't be any form of discrimination when a woman of any size ventures out shopping to find the right garment, I disagree with her comment that being a mother actually helps her to feel less insecure about her looks. In my opinion, that statement projects the vibe of making an excuse for herself & actually makes her appear insecure. In regards to our physical appearances and the way we perceive ourselves, I don't think there's any gray to contemplate. It's all black & white isn't it? We're either on board with ourselves or we're not. And does being a 'mother' allow a woman leeway when it comes to being on top of her game? Sounds kind of like a cop out but either way, I'm looking forward to seeing her designs. Especially after the purple mess she put together for the Emmy's.

Spotlight Saturday - Paula Abdul
Paula Abdul is in the spotlight today rocking the late 40's and looking better than ever. She was seen at the first round of Fox's, The X Factor where she'll be co-judging with Simon Cowell this Fall. She looked totally fab in a draped purple Yves St. Laurent asymmetrical hemmed mini dress and matching YSL sandals. Abdul has definitely restructured her reputation and recovered from the bad rap she's had during the course of the past decade for her alleged drug addiction. Back in 2007 she made a poor decision by agreeing to do a reality show on Bravo which portrayed her as a needy berating diva who relied on everyone for everything. I don't think I'll ever understand why celebrities with so much star power feel the need to live their lives in a fish bowl?

Stevie Nicks...Renaissance Gypsy
Who doesn't absolutely adore Stevie Nicks and her free spirited persona that makes you wish you could muster up the moxie to pull off this style? But of course, the question would arise.."Where in the heck would you wear something like this?" Regardless, she makes us fantasize about being a rock star!...
Everyone knows her, originally as the front woman for the popular 70's band Fleetwood Mac, who then went on to entertain a successful solo career & everyone knows her for her signature style that usually consists of...'flowing dresses with long diaphanous sleeves, Victorian lace up boots and an accentuating shawl or cape, usually floor length. When you really think about it, she was Goth, before Goth was ever heard of!
She was subtly sexy and when asked about her fashion choices, was quoted in an interview as saying..."I have always looked at it like, people are always wondering what was under all of that in regards to my clothes, I think it's much more sexier than putting it all out there for everyone to see". She was and still remains, modestly beautiful in her own way...
Designer Ralph Lauren's Fall 2010 show last year had Stevie wannabe's walking the runway as it was all about Gothic prairie dresses, fur tails and luxe gypsy accessories. His Stevie inspired collection was on the mark and rang true to the quote.."Imitation is the highest form of flattery" as Lauren definitely did the songstress proud in replicating her style.
Her style has become vintage timeless and is easy to incorporate into your own wardrobe. Think anything loose, billowy, chiffon, platform, layers, feathers, hats & you will find your own renaissance gypsy style!

The Lure of The Little Black Dress
For decades, women everywhere have been in pursuit of the perfect 'little black dress'. Why you ask? ... Because the 'right' LBD has the ability to create a slimming illusion on the most curviest of frames, so make no mistake...the color black is a girl's best friend!
Prior to the 1920's the color black was reserved for periods of mourning and considered appalling to be worn for anything but however, in 1926, 'Coco' Chanel published a photo of a short, simple black dress in 'Vogue' and the concept took off and became a fashion staple for women of taste. The LBD has evolved since the beginning of its vintage roots in regards to cuts and fabrics but remains as popular as it ever was.
In 1961, the now vintage fashion icon & once Hollywood starlet Audrey Hepburn wore a little black dress by designer Hubert de' Givenchy in the cult classic 'Breakfast At Tiffany's' and this gave rise to this simple, yet absolutely glamorous look.
I have recently done some research on how to acquire a unique yet affordable 'LBD' and here's what I found... You can get your own 'little black dress' for under $100.00 at Forever 21, Victoria's Secret, Express and Charlotte Russe.
