Live N Jeans Sweepstakes!

There's simply no sense in keeping ourselves fashionable and keeping all of the style secrets away from our men - I mean, seriously, behind every stylish DIVA should be a stylish stud ;) I got word of an awesome sweepstakes sponsored by Nautica Jeans Co. - in case you haven't heard, Nautica has launched the new N-series line of jeans for men. Awesome fit and plenty of demin shades to choose from.

To create excitement for the line, Nautica is running an incredible, no-strings-attached contest - 4 lucky winners will win the op for an ALL expense vacation to either Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago or New York....includes hotel, airfare, meals, and transportation!

Cheers from London!

That's right DIVAs, I'm on another international adventure - this time in London! I'm loving the European style and flavor here. London is the perfect reminder of New York - crowded streets, diverse and let's not forget the perfect sense of fashion style! I must say, this city has me a bit stumped on my typical bargain shopping sprees....our American dollar only stretches half as far here, so I've had to be super creative on finding fab style for less....(which rules out this divalicious Marc Jacobs Large Bag with chain, shown on the right, that sells for 700 pounds)

At first glance you would think England fashion is all about 60's mod, black and white and the distinct look of the 80's...but thanks to the streets of SOHO London, Fashion Week Paris playing non-stop in the hotel lobby, as well as a few web ads on the side of a double decker bus, I was able to get to the heart of what makes the city tick.

Check out these fab sites that I found - perfect for keeping up on European fashion:

www.warehousefashion.com (or also www.warehousefashion.co.uk)

www.stylefinder.com

Both of these sites have awesome celebrity style trends, as well as listings for all of the hottest places in the city to shop.

Also during my hunt, I stumbled across these sandals...now how could I resist? :)

Cherio for now - catch you back in the States!

VOTINI Party!

Everyone loves a reason to party - You're invited to a VOTINI party! It's a voting party without martini's....and without a live party, actually :) Fellow business associate, Dana Ayanna Greaves, has been selected as one of four finalists across the country for the Microsoft IdeaWins business competition.

Our DIVA of the Month!

It should go without saying who our pick for this month's favorite DIVA is - hands down, Dreamgirl's Jennifer Hudson has done us proud. The American Idol castoff came back full force with a powerhouse voice and girl next door charm! She proves to Hollywood that curves CAN be sexy and with that, we salute her for continuing to make history.

Jennifer, congrats!

Oscar fashions for plus-size women

With all the red carpet buzz around Dreamgirls' Jennifer Hudson and Ugly Betty's America Ferrera, it's no wonder that fashion designers are frantic to finally create styles perfect for plus size stars!

Check out this recent feature on NBC's Today Show on Oscar fashions for plus-size women, with Catherine Schuller of Figure Magazine. Although the feature focuses on the dresses fitting for a formal event, please pay special attention to the jewelry - the designs from Juliet Renee Williams from JulRe Designs!
