Goddess Chic: How to wear a Sheer Maxi Skirt

Plus Model Cha'Kiva Latrell | Maxi Skirt and Crop Top by Spoiled Diva by CL Felder

Hey Diva,

Have you ever felt like you wanted to get away from it all? From the 9 to 5, conference calls, staff meetings, the kids, gridlocked traffic, pollution, etc? I often imagine a life like that...one where I can finally break free from it all, where I can go some place tranquil and wander up and down the beach as long as I desire...and look absolutely HAUTE doing it!

I imagine myself doing just that all the time...while looking like a total babe in this sheer, high-waist maxi skirt and halter bow crop top both by Spoiled Diva by CL Felder. The entire look just oozes goddess-like sex appeal and guess what? It's available in all sizes!

The maxi skirt is finished with a super soft, wide jersey waistband and has two thigh high slits at the front. More print options are coming soon, but in the meantime you can get this sheer animal print maxi skirt here!

The halter bow crop top is available in about a dozen colors and you can even request additional colors if your preference is not listed. Just send them a message. Get the halter bow crop top here!

This is definitely a look you must add to your resort wardrobe. So go on, release your inner diva!

Until next time,

Smooches!

My HAUTEST Swimwear looks of 2016

Plus Model/Blogger ChaKiva Latrell in modified Tankini | Always For Me

Hey Diva,
Summer is in full swing and I just had to take a moment to share with you some of my FAVE swimwear looks! For the first time in a long time, I am truly loving the skin that I am in. Can you tell?

From the majestic mountains of Ecuador to the beautiful, sandy beaches of Grand Cayman Islands, I've had a blast rocking my curves and flaunting the love I have for my body!

It took me awhile to get to this point, but now that I'm here...look out world! The truth is, I've fought long and hard to uncover my inner goddess...therefore, no force on this earth will cause me to lose her ever again!

It is my sincere hope that women everywhere will also be inspired to release their inner diva! Please don't waste precious time concerning yourself with what others think and feel about you. The truth is you will always be too much...or not enough of something so you will never please everyone. Instead, focus on pleasing yourself!

Until next time,

Smooches!

Confidently Beautiful

Hey Diva,
Nothing makes a girl feel sexier than beautiful lingerie...and I should know! I love my curves, but I love them even more when they are all wrapped up in something luxurious, like this corset style bra and panty set from my friends at Adore Me.

Pageantry 101: Headshot Perfection

Tiffany Christina | Mrs. Kane County Royalty International 2016

Hello Queen,
A picture is worth a thousand words! I'm sure you have heard that before, and it's true. We are a visual society so first impressions are extremely important. This notion is also true in pageantry. The images you submit, whether they be for your application, your Ad page or for the program book are the ones by which you will be assessed and ultimately remembered. Therefore, make sure they are quality images.

So...just what are quality images you ask? Well... I'd be willing to bet that most pageant judges like to see headshots that are crisp and clear with a nice, clean background.  They would also like to see ladies put some effort into their hair, makeup and wardrobe. You may want to work with a stylist or at the very least, get a friend with a flair for fashion and style to assist you.

Please understand, your headshots do not necessarily need to be professional, so don't think I am telling you to go out and spend tons of money on photographs. But they should still look professional meaning great lighting, appropriate backdrops/props and nice angles.

Now...this final area can be a little sensitive but it's definitely worth discussing. Editing or retouching can certainly help make your headshots pop! It's likely that your photos will need some editing to adjust the color or exposure, brighten your natural eye color, clean up any stray hairs, etc. However, your photos should not be so retouched that you become unrecognizable. The girl in the headshot should look like the girl that shows up to the pageant!


Until next time,

My Valentine's Day Style

Animal Print Pencil Skirt and Bow Halter Crop Top | Spoiled Diva by CL Felder

Hey Diva,

Happy Valentine's Day! I hope you have a little something special planned today...be it for yourself or with someone special! I am celebrating this day of love in an 80's inspired look by Spoiled Diva by CL Felder. Gosh, I feel like Pat Benatar mixed with a little Madonna!

Plus Model ChaKiva Latrell

I've stated numerous times that a girl can never go wrong with a sexy pencil skirt. This faux leather trimmed, brown and black animal print pencil skirt is by Spoiled Diva and can be found here. It is available in plus size!

I paired it with a hot pink, bow halter crop top also by Spoiled Diva. The halter top comes in tons of colors and should definitely be a staple in your wardrobe! Get it here, also available in plus size!

Toss on a distressed denim jacket...pop the collar, roll up the sleeves and BAM! Instant 80's glam. Fashion should be fun, so get out there and have a blast.

So, how did you celebrate this beautiful day of love? What did you wear?

Until next time,

Smooches!
