Met Gala: Kim Kardashian and Kanye West
A very pregnant and glowing Kim K arrived to the Met Gala in Riccardo Tisci.
Although this wouldn’t be my first choice Kimye…she rocked it like no one else could.
Friday Fashion Faves: Designer Edition
It’s the weekend, time to to get your sleep in! That is literally ALL I want to do…sleep! We all know that’s not going to happen. Stopping by the post office to ship the fabulous Julep Maven prize, Iron Man 3 and shopping is on my agenda for the weekend. Not to shabby if I do say so myself. Speaking of shopping, I’ve been eyeing a certain pair of Kors sneakers lately.
THIS pair of Michael Kors sneakers to be exact. Priced at $195 on MichaelKors.
It’s rare that I’ll get shoes from anywhere other than DSW because they have ev-e-ry-thing and it’s priced way way below suggested retail pricing. But this pair of sneaks need to be in my closet as soon as possible…they’ll go with practically anything and last through the seasons. While I was surfing the MK site, I noticed tons of other things and you know he does curvy sizes too!
Here are all of my current favorites from Michael Kors…ENJOY!
(remember to find more info on the items below…simply click the pic)
Well, that was fun. That won’t help my shopping addiction AT ALL.
May is For Mom!
April showers bring May flowers! At least that’s what they say. Who are they and why do they always say that? Anywho, we made it through another month stylish sweets! Can you believe it’s May…seriously…May? In just under two weeks we’ll all be celebrating Mother’s Day here in the states. On Sunday, May 12th we’ll be able to say thank you to our wonderful mothers…even though we should thank her everyday. This gives literally 12 days to find the perfect gift for the women we love. It’s ok, you can panic a little bit…we women can be hard to shop for, I know. Luckily, you have me! I put together (as Curves and Coffee always does) a gift giving shopping guide. With these shopping tips and ideas, you’ll be able to see the perfect gift for every price point.

Tune In: Cassie
Get ready to turn your speakers UP or down depending on your personal preference. The tune this Tuesday is one for the ladies (and guys because this chick is HOT!)
Cassie is definitely all “growed” up! I keep up with her a little bit because I love her style so it’s no surprise to me but to others, there may be a “who?” moment. Remember lil Miss Cassie from MySpace? Wait, do you remember MySpace? Anywho, she has some new music and video to push along too.
Before we get into her new single…let’s check out the girls closet!
I mean, COME ON!
This just makes a fashion slave like me quiver!
That was filmed almost a year ago…could you imagine what her closet looks like now? Crazy!
Moving right along before I have a moment…
Here’s the new single
“Numb” ft. Rick Ross
And The Winner Is…
The moment you’ve all been waiting for…the winner of the Marvelous Maven Giveaway is *DRUM ROLL PLEASE*
Congratulations Elisabeth G.! Check your email and we’re all set! HUGE thank you to everyone that entered, can’t wait to do this again!!
Best Dressed: Nerd Prom Edition
Every year the White House invites the most influential people over for a big dinner. Affectionately called “Nerd Prom,” the correspondents dinner is a fashion show for those attending. I think it’s absolutely amazing to sit in a room, rub shoulders with outstanding people and eat dinner with the President of the United States. I mean, who wouldn’t want to meet President Obama or any other current president at the time?!
Anywho, tons of famous folks get dressed up for the occasion and stroll the red carpet. Now, we get to see who’s wearing who and who they’re most excited to see. Get ready to see who I picked and like for best dressed.
Kerry Washington looked absolutely stunning in basic black and white. This gorgeous printed Wes Gordon dress fits her like a glove.
This is Darren Criss. We don’t know what he’s wearing but he’s damn sure wearing it well!
There really isn’t anything Connie Britton can do that’ll make me dislike her. This blue lace Temperly London dress only makes me like her more.
Sofia Vergara always looks amazing so this Herve L. Leroux dress is no exception.
Ahh supermodels. Chrissy Teigen chose this Kaufmanfranco after battling with zippers on her first choice. She stunned us all with fiance John Legend.
Apparently blue was the color of the night and I have no qualms with that at all. Thank goodness these gorgeous ladies don’t either! Looking incredibly ahh-mazing from left to right.
Robin Wright Penn in Rolando Santana / Rebel Wilson in Theia / Morena Baccarin in J. Mendel
Speaking of blue, Claire Danes chose a light shade of the hue in this Prada sheath dress.
Megan Hilty shines in the Pantone color of the year by Badgley Mischka.
Julia Louis-Dreyfuss in Dolce & Gabbana and Michelle Dockery in Elie Saab both chose deep purple to wow on the red carpet. THIS is the purple you want to wear.
Amy Poehler decided to wear this shimmering Basler dress in white and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Tune In: Ciara
The sexy Ciara we all love is back! This time gracing us with the visuals for “Body Party”. Which also happens to have her real-life rapper boyfriend Future as a co-star. Enjoy!
Chicks Dig The Long Ball
This chick digs it!
It’s no secret around here that I’m a girl who loves her sports. Being a sports fan has its ups and downs but of course when you love your team, you stand by your team. You go to the games, watch them on TV and cheer them on…even go into your home teams stadium and cheer for the opposing team (in my case.) This happens every sports season and baseball season is no different. You can hear me screaming and yelling at the TV or a streaming internet connection. Yep, I’m *that* girl.
So when I heard my favorite MLB team the Atlanta Braves were coming to Detroit to play the Tigers, I couldn’t wait to get tickets! Of course, once the tickets went on sale there were snatched up pretty quickly. Not a problem when StubHub exists, thank you StubHub! Now my only problem is, what does a girl wear to a baseball game in Michigan during an extended winter in April.

Ahhh, I happened to work my fashion magic! The game will start off with the sun shining but it will quickly do a 180 and turn chilly as the night time air rolls into the downtown part of the city. As the weather will change from sunny to semi-cold, I went with a warm quilted sweater jacket. The team tee paired with skinny jeans is ALWAYS a hit no matter what you’re doing (plus I want to be comfortable sitting for 3-4 hours outside.) Add some comfy and stylish Nike Jordan kicks and a crossbody (hands-free) bag and VOILA!
I am ready for some baseball!!
