Project Inspiration...

I came across these lovely images from Vogue 1996 as I was searching for inspiration for my current project. Very beautiful and I love the floral elements. 

Berffday GeekyLove

Today is my dear friend's born day and to send her some geeky love I thought what better way than to post a photo shoot we did together a couple of weeks ago.  She will also be a guest blogger on here as she is such a fashionable curvy diva herself.

All I want for Christmas is........

.........some MAD winter style..
I must confess, being in Canada and experiencing some really cold weather, I've just settled for warm clothes and never really bothered to dress up that much, as I counted down the months till spring to let the diva hang out! But NOT this winter, I wanna be fab warm, HA!
So what does it take to be fab warm?!?!

a fab coat
I've always gravitated towards Black Coats, so this winter I vow to explore and bold colored coat!!!!  Your coat has to be so fab, that people are wondering what fab clothes you have underneath it!!

cute boots
I've always gone for the flat boots, but hellooo cute boots!!!!
(confession: I will wear these if the weather is decent, will stay in for snowstorm days..HA!)

cardigans
instead of simple plain cardigans, upgrading to some cardigans with character..a little bit of lace and yummy prints.

chunky socks
pairing chunky socks and boots is a definite staple in my fab warm winter campaign!!
here are some pics of the pairing + Gucci's sock/shoe combo

 accessories
big statement scarves, bold colors and quirky styles!!!

all these chunky cowls can be found on Etsy [click here]
and the printed scarf in the middle is from Forever21 but no longer online.

and for Christmas and New Years, I would like these dresses from the Monif C. Holiday 2010 Collection!!!! (please and thank you)

Tweed Ride - Fall 2010 Photos -- Enjoy!

Tweed Ride! Oh, My....

A good number of Tweed Rides occurred during October and November -- here are photos from some of those rides. They come from quite a range of places and as viewed through the eyes of some very fine photographers. Who says you can't ride a bicycle and wield a camera too!

Enjoy!

Further thoughts on this particular offering of Tweed Ride photos-- I'm just so smitten with everyone's talents. Really Philadelphia has more than it's fair share represented here, just check out their group flickr pool of no less than 10 contributors to that one ride alone.

Also much heartfelt thanks to everyone who so quickly and enthusiastically offered up their photos!

And as a final thought-- you dear reader, really owe it to your self to go visit each of the links to see many, many more fine photos from that particular photographer and/or from that Ride.

There are more photos of more rides I want to share with you. Hmmh, I'm still working on catching up. More photos to come next week (or so) that is when I return from some travels I'm off on.

Welcome!!!

It's been a long time coming for this blog, and I am SO over the moon that I'm finally blogging.  Curvy Geekery is an ode to my curvy lifestyle.  It is a big ball of randomness that encompasses fashion, my clutch designs, my photography, my love of natural hair, my affair with music, and things I come across that give me that *running in a field of daisies* reaction.  I hope you will take this journey with me, as I celebrate my curves, share my fashion world loves and quirkiness with you.

My first outfit might as well be my banner outfit.  I was in the mood to mix prints and did just that. 2 bold prints came together and made uber sweet music.

-  Thrift store mens blazer (borrowed from my brother! *giggle*)
-  Primark UK top
-  Skirt that I made myself (might do a DIY for this, just 3 easy steps)
-  Thick black tights
-  Torrid Booties
-  Vintage earrings - Suzy Shier Brass Ring and Cuff

• brass wrist cuff and ring - Suzy Shier
• Booties - Torrid
• Royal Blue Clutch - Vintage

• love this hair updo
• love mixing prints
• love vintage earrings
