Curves Around the World: Christmas outfits

Hello Gorgeous Friends!!!

I hope everyone enjoyed there Holidays this past week, I enjoyed it very much which is why I didn't post last week. I decided to take the time and just spend time with my family and friends. But I'm back with what I wore for Christmas.

Curves Around the World: Remix 2014

Hello my lovely Friends!!!

I hope everyone is doing well and has all their Christmas shopping done, I know I still have a few things to get. I can't believe how fast this year has gone by. But yeah I'm back with a new "Curves Around the World" post and today's post is remix 2014 where were taking one of our past looks and remixing it. I think I was the one that suggested this because I like to do it all the time with clothes in my closet and I thought it would be fun to do it with a "Curves Around the world" outfit.

Curves Around the World: Season (Fall)

Hello Beauties!!!

So I have been way behind on my "Curves Around the World" post but I'm trying to catch up. Today's theme is one we have done before, seasonal and we do this theme often just because we all live in different places of the world so each of us are in different seasons. So it's fall right now in California and we are just starting to feel it, last week it was raining, which we need and it has helped cool down the weather. This post was supposed to be posted during Thanksgiving and during that time it was actually really hot and in the high 80's but I'm really happy that it's starting to cool down. How's the weather where you are? 

Lets get ready for the Holidays!

Hey Lovelies!

Sorry for the lack of posts, I have a lot of catching up to do. The holiday's and having family visiting and staying with you just took up all the free time. But I'm back and I have a lot of posts lined up. But today's post is a little different it's all about holiday outfits. Around this time of year there is so many parties and events to dress up for, so I searched in the internet for some of my favorite outfits. 

Curves Around the World: Winter White

Hey Lovelies!!!

I hope everyone is doing great! Today's theme is something our group has been wanting to do but I think we all have been a little scared to do, It's all white! Wearing all white can be a scary thing because it's all white and if your like me I'm very clumsy so I'm always scared I'm going to spill something on it. But I've been opening myself up to wearing more white.

Curves Around the World: Cheers to Kate!

Hey Beauties!!!

So I'm still getting used to this time change, I was fully ready to take pictures when I got home yesterday but it was way too dark. So I rushed home today to take these, it's been really overcast here in California but I'm just happy were finally getting colder weather. But yeah today's a special "Curves Around the World" because our beautiful fellow blogger Kate is getting Married this weekend, so as a group we are pretending like we are attending.

Hello Kitty Con 2014 Fashion

Hey Lovelies!!!

So I just got back a little while ago from a mini vacation with my family to SF, so I'm back catching up on posts. So on October 31st, my birthday, I went to Hello Kitty Con that was held in Japan Town in Los Angeles. It was such a fun event, especially for someone like me who loves Hello Kitty. Hello kitty is such an iconic character that people of so many different ages enjoy, it was great seeing so many people who share the love for Hello Kitty. But one thing I want to share with you is the fashion, they had a fashion show on the preview night and the clothes were displayed during the HK con. I took a bunch a pictures of the different outfits and I wanted to share them with you.  

Curves Around the World: Halloween Edition

Happy Halloween!

Hey lovelies, I hope your having a wonderful day. So "Curves Around the World" is back and today were giving you our Halloween style for this year. So Halloween happens to be my Birthday, so I pretty much always dress up. So this year I didn't know where I was going but I decided to put this costume together anyways. I like DIYing costumes because costume's are so expensive and can be so generic. So I went on pinterest and searched there DIY costumes and came across an Owl costume. 

Floral 4 different ways for Fall

Hey Everyone!

I hope everyone is doing well. It's still warm here in California but it doesn't mean I'm not thinking of fall and winter trends. If you follow my blog one of my favorite trends for fall is dark florals. So this post is a little different I'm going to show different ways to wear the trend.  

City Chic in a Jumpsuit

Hey Lovelies!

So I'll be back with "Curves Around the world" at the end of the month. We just created a new list and I can't wait for the new challenges. So for the meantime I decided to show a jumpsuit I got from City Chic. Awhile ago I wrote about how I went to the Grand Opening of a City Chic near me, you can view the post here, and in the post I said I would post what I bought and here it is. 

Curves Around the World: Crazy About Prints

Hello Friends!

So I'm still doing catch up on the blog, so this is another back blog from the "Curves Around the World" themes and today's theme crazy for prints is because we are loving all the print styles that are in style for fall from floral to animal print but I have admit one of my favorites is checkered or plaid. It's not something new for fall but I'm loving the new checkered prints, so that is the print I decided to choose for today's post. 

Curves Around the World: Ahoy, Sailor!

Hey Beauties!!!

So I'm still catching up with past theme from "Curves Around the World," and this theme is "Ahoy, Sailor." Now when I saw this theme I wasn't sure how to put an outfit together without seeming like a costume. So I started thinking of colors that go with the theme red, white and blue and that's how I put my outfit together. 

Curves Around the World: Floral

Hello Lovelies!

Sorry for my lack of post this month, we just finished a heat wave in California and I did not want to go out and take photos when it was in triple digits outside plus I have had less time to get things done. I really need to start reorganizing my time so I can be back on track with the blog. But yes I'm back with a back theme from Curves Around the world, "Floral" and dark floral's are my favorite trend for fall. It might officially be fall now but the weather in California is still summer, so with this outfit I'm dreaming of fall of cooler weather.

Curves Around the World: Straight Sizes Only

Hey Everyone!

Sorry I've been gone for awhile, I haven't been feeling well and decided to take a break from social media all together and just rest. I'm feeling better now but I'm still feel a bit sick right now but I'm pushing myself to do this because I feel bad for neglecting the blog and following behind in Curves Around the world themes. So today's theme is straight sizes only and what we are suppose to do is take an outfit that is in straight sizes and remake. I do feel as plus size person we do this everyday and I honestly couldn't find an outfit to inspire me do so I decided to interpret it differently, I decided to do an outfit wearing straight sizes only!

Curves Around the World: Feminine meets Masculine

Hey Everyone!

Yay my post is on time this week, and I feel like I'm back on track with the blog. So it's "Curves Around the World" time again and this week's theme is about mixing Feminine and Masculine into one. I love the idea of mixing the two together because it's girly but also gives makes you look stronger as well.

Grand Opening of City Chic in Brea

Hey Lovelies!!!

So this is a super late post but 2 weeks ago I went to the grand opening of the City Chic near me. I was excited to check the store out because one of my fellow Curves Around the World girl Kate from Sparkles and Lace always wears their clothes and they are always really cute.  

Curves Around the World: Lazy Sunday

Hello Beauties!!!

So I took a little blogging break but I'm back and I should have things back to normal, I know I've been saying that but things just always come up. So I'm trying to get myself more organized with the blog. But yeah this week we are starting a new list of themes with the lovely ladies of "Curves Around the World," and this week's theme is Lazy Sunday. My Sunday's aren't really that lazy because it's usually the day that I like to do errands but I do like to dress very comfortably. 

Curves Around the World: Day to Night

Hey Lovelies and Hello August!!!

I can't believe it's already August but I'm happy July is over because it was just crazy for me. But I'm back and should be getting back to responding to comments and visiting other blogs soon! But yeah this week's theme is "Day to Night" and I love the idea of transitioning outfits from day to night. I decided to use one outfit and change some of my accessories to create another the other look. 

Curves Around the World: Favorite Movie

Hello Everyone! So yes it's another late post but everything should get back to normal in August. July has been so crazy for me but my posts should be back on time and my commenting should go back to normal soon. But yes this week's theme is Favorite movie and I have a lot of favorite movies. But if I had to choose one I guess you can say this is one of my favorites.  

Curves Around the Word: Belts

Hey Lovelies!!! So it's still the middle of the week, so technically this isn't that late. But yes my July has been really crazy with everything, am I the only one or are you all having crazy July's too? But yes this week's theme is Belts, and I don't own too many of them but I recently got a new belt and thought it would be perfect for this week. 

Curves Around the World: Vacation

Hey Beauties! So it's that time again for another "Curves Around the World post," that week went by way too fast. Is it just me or is this month moving way too fast? But yeah this weeks theme is "Vacation," I could really use a vacation right now but I don't think I will have one for awhile. But that doesn't mean you can't dream of one and maybe if I get a chance I'll be able to take a day-cation to the beach before the summer ends. But for right now this is an outfit I would wear if I went on vacation.

Curves Around the World: Favorite Song

Hello Beauties!!! Sorry for a lack of posts and comments on your blogs, this month has been crazy for me. But I'm trying to catch up and today's post is on time, Yay! So this week's theme is "favorite song," and let me tell you I have a lot of favorite songs. All my favorite songs have special meanings to me whether they inspire me or have memories attached to them. So when I was thinking of which one to choose it was a tough decision. But I decided to go with something that inspires me and also has memories attached to it. 

Curves Around the World: Vulnerable

Hello Everyone!

So I know I'm late again with this weeks post, but I was having a hard time with this weeks theme. As you can see the theme is "Vulnerable" and this weeks theme is very different from what we have done in the past. I actually asked for this theme after I saw the Aussie Curves girls do it and thought it would be a great idea to do. But the truth is it's actually really hard to do because there are so many things that make me feel vulnerable and deciding which one to write about is the hard part. So I decided to go with social media, being a blogger, social media is such a big part of it but it also makes me feeling very vulnerable to others and to myself.

Curves Around the World: Retro

Hello Loves!

So this "Curves Around the World" post is very late, so sorry but it's been a crazy week for me and I know I have so many blogs I need to catch up on but I'm going to try to do it this weekend. But as for this week's post the theme is "Retro" now I was lost on what to do because I didn't know what to do. But I hope the outfit I came up with translated the theme well. 

Curves Around the World: DIY

Hey Beauties!!!

So you know that it's the middle of the week so that means "Curves Around the World" blog post and I know already posted a blog post today but you get two blogs in one day. But yeah today's theme was DIY and I decided to do my first DIY on the blog and I hope you enjoy it.

What "CURVY" Means to Us

Hey Lovelies! So today's post is a little different. I was approached by another blogger InMyJoi to participate in a combined blog post with a few other bloggers on a word that is used around the the plus size community a lot..."Curvy!" And I thought this would be a great opportunity and I couldn't resist not to join in on the topic. 

Curves Around the World: Denim on Denim

Hello World! 

So I'm a bit under the weather right now, and I hope everyone else is doing better then I am. Well it's "Curves Around the World," time and this week's theme is denim on denim. I know that this trend seems a little scary because your wearing head to toe denim but when done right it can be really cute. 

Curves Around the World: Seasonal (Summer)

Hey Everyone!

It's the middle of the week, you know what that means? "Curves Around the World," and this weeks theme is Seasonal. If you have been following our group for awhile, you know we've done this theme before. But the last time we did this theme, it was Fall season for me and this season it's Summer!

Curves Around the World: Boots

Hello Hello Hello! 

How is everyone doing? I hope everyone is doing great! So it's that time again for another "Curves Around the World" post and this week's theme is "Boots," and let me tell you I love me some boots. Boots are usually my shoe of choice during most of the year, but it's already hot here in California so I had to choose a shorter boot and I didn't want to wear my favorite pair because I think I've worn them quite a few times already on here. So I chose one that hasn't been worn that much on the blog. 

Spring Casual - eShakti Review

Hello Lovelies!!!

I hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend so far and to those celebrating Memorial day, I hope your enjoying your 3 day weekend. It's been great being with family and friends this weekend with a little extra time for rest. Well today I have a fun blog for you, I was recently contacted by eShakti to do a review for them. I was so excited because I have never done one before, I feel so blessed to be given the opportunity.

Curves Around the World: Statement Bag

Hello Lovelies!!!

I hope everyone is doing great! I'm certainly loving the 70 degree weather here in California compared to last week's heat wave that had us in 100 degree weather. I hope everyone is having a great weather where they are. Well it's that time again for another "Curves Around the World" post and this week's theme is "Statement Bag!" So I usually buy bags that are more versatile and I can use all the time because I don't like changing bags. So if you look at most of my bag they are pretty worn out because when I got them I used them all the time. But I do have a few bags that I use for special occasions, so I chose one of my favorites. 

Curves Around the World: Favorite Sex and The City Character

Hello Sweeties!!!

How is everyone doing? I hope everyone is enjoying there week so far. If your in California I hope your staying cool in 100 degree weather were having. But yes it's the middle of the week and that means "Curves Around the World" and this weeks theme is favorite Sex and the City character. Well for me this was kind of hard because I didn't watch the TV series, but I did watch the movies. So for this challenge I had to do a little research. 

Curves Around the World: Hats

Hello Lovelies!!!

I hope everyone is having a great week so far, if you follow me on instagram you know I chopped off my hair! I wanted something new with my hair, and I haven't had my hair short in a few years, so I decided to go short. I'm still getting used to it but I'm happy with the way my hair came out. But yeah this week's "Curves Around the World" post is about Hats! I wear a lot of slouchy hats and berets during the fall and winter but I don't really wear hats in the summer, so I made an exception for the theme.

Curves Around the World: Shirt Dress

Hello Lovelies!!!

So you see the banner above that mean's it's time for another "Curve's Around the World" theme! I know I'm a little late this week but it's because I feel asleep when I got home but it's here! :) So this week's theme is as you see from the title, "Shirt dress!"

FWSD Spring Showcase, designer A'doreus

Hello Everyone! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! 

This past weekend I went to Fashion Week San Diego's spring showcase and I want to share with you my experience there on today's blog. I hope you enjoy!

Curves Around the World: Knee High Socks

Hello Beauties!!! I hope you all had a great week and for those who celebrate Easter I hope you had a wonderful holiday! I was suppose to post an OOTD but I didn't like how my pictures came out so I decided not to post. I'm sorry I haven't been doing much post besides CATW but I promise I have more on the way! :) 

Curves Around the World: Casino Night

Hello Wonderful people!!!

I hope everyone is having a fabulous week! Can you believe that this month is almost over? It still feel likes April just started. But yeah it's hump day, you know what that means...another "Curves Around the World" post! This week was a little challenging for me the theme was "Casino Night," and I was so lost on what to wear. I'm not a huge gambler and when I think of the casino, I think Las Vegas and when I go to Vegas I always dress up. 

Curves Around the World: Favorite Shoes

Hey Everyone!!! 

So it's another "Curves Around the World" post and this weeks post is on favorite shoes! So I have to be honest I am not a shoe girl, I know there are many girls out there who love shoes but I rather buy clothes. But it's not that I don't like them but I'm the kind of person that if I have a favorite pair of shoes that are comfortable they are my go to shoes and I will wear it with everything. If you follow my blog you know that I love boots and they are my go to pair of shoes, that's why it's no surprise my favorite pair of shoes at the moment are...

Curves Around the World: Royal Blue

Hello my dears!!!

I hope everyone is enjoying April so far, can you believe it's already April! But yeah I know this might be a little late for my usual "Curves Around the World" post but better late than never. It started to rain yesterday when I was about to take my pictures, so I had to postpone taking my pictures for today. So yes it is that time again and this weeks theme is Royal blue and it's a beautiful color and I do really like the color a lot. I own a few items that are royal blue but I decided on my sweater.

Curves Around the World: Scarf

Hello loves!

I hope all of you are having a great Spring so far! Well it's that time again for another "Curves Around the World" post and this weeks theme is "Scarfs!" I love scarfs, I think they can be worn in so many different ways and they can transform an outfit plus they can also help keep you warm when it's cold. 

Curves Around the World: Favorite item of Clothing

Hello beauties!!! 

I hope everyone is having a wonderful day, Spring is almost here! Well technically here in California it feels like we skipped Spring and went straight to summer because the temperatures are already in the 80's. 

Blogs 1st year Anniversary!

Hey Everyone, Guess what? It's the 1st Anniversary of my Blog!!!

I started this blog because I wanted to start blogging again because I wasn't in a very happy place in my life and I remembered how much I enjoyed it when I used to blog. So this time last year I just randomly decided to start blogging again with the support from my friends, I got the courage to start CurvyMod. It has been a rough journey for me but I can truly say I enjoyed all of it. Since I started the blog I have grown so much personally and style wise. I have grown to love myself so much more and have gained more confidence in myself as well. With the better confidence I was able to push myself style wise to step out of my comfort zones and try new things. 

Curves Around the World: Peplum

Hello Beauties!!! 

So it's the the middle of the week again and you all know what that means...Another "Curves Around the World" themed post. This week's theme is "Peplum," well let me tell you a little secret, I don't like peplums. Well it's not that I don't like them, it's more I don't like how they look on me. I've tried so many on within the few years that it's been in style but have always hated the way it looked on me. But that doesn't mean I wasn't going to do this theme, I decided once again to step out of my comfort zone and try once again. 

Like I said above I am not a big fan of peplums on myself, so that means I didn't have one to use for this theme, so that means I had to go shopping. I tried a few on and once again I didn't like how they looked on me, but I finally saw this one at Jcpenny. By the way if you haven't been to Jcpenny's they have really cute brands like I heart Ronson, Nicole by Nicole Miller and Bisou Bisou(mines Bisou Bisou). But yeah I decided not to try it on because I thought I might not like it so I decided to take a risk and just buy it. What attracted me to the top was that it was black and white and you all know I love black and white and plus it was on sale with an extra percent off. 

{top:Jcpenny} {leggings:Forever 21+} {shoes:Target} {necklace:H&M}

So today when I put on the top I kind of like it, but I'm really sure. I'm actually thinking I might return the top because I'm not sure if I really like it. That's one thing I'm trying to do when I shop, buying things that I really love because I have so many things in my closet that I buy just because and I end up never wearing it.

But yeah what do you think, should I keep the peplum or return it? 

So I wanted to show a close up of this necklace that I got from H&M for only $2.50 it was from one of those sales where you get an extra 50% off from the already reduced price, I love those kind of sales. But yeah I have been wanting to wear this necklace and I thought it would go really well with this top. I really fell in love with this necklace when I saw it and I love the pops of color. 

So changing subjects, today when I was getting ready to take these pictures I reached for a sweater and your probably thinking so? But it's actually in the 80's here in California and it's hot. But I've been so used to covering my arms that today thinking of showing my arms again kind of brought me back to when I was so uncomfortable to showing them off and the sweater is like my safety blanket. But then I had to remind myself of how far I've come with loving myself and as you can see I didn't wear my sweater. I just remind you if your like me and it took a long time for you to love yourself that you can have some moments you forget but you just need to remind yourself that you are Beautiful! Sorry for the small little side story but I thought I would share if someone that follows me happens to read this and has ever felt the same way. Remember loving yourself can be a tough journey but you can do it! :) 

Thanks for reading, now don't forget to check out the other wonderful ladies from "Curves Around the World" and show them some love.
