Last evening I had the privilege of attending the Ashley Stewart #LoveYourCurvesTour Model Search in Dallas, TX. Dallas, TX is the first one of two cities (Miami, FL and Los Angeles, CA) that are hosting the Ashley Stewart Model Search. I will say it was very exciting mixing and mingling with new and old model buddies. Over one-hundred ladies came dressed and ready to impress! The DJ, a Diva I might add was awesome keeping the potential models hyped while filling out model applications and taking photos. The host and the judges @TorrLemon and @IveyStyles were fantastic, even @IveyStyles showed us ladies how to slay the runway.

With so many ladies in attendance, the awesome Ashley Stewart staff kept everything running smoothly. We also received a 40% off coupon and a chance to win a $25 gift card. The 12 finalists were not chosen that evening, but will be notified Friday between the hours of 9am to 10am. The finalists will participate in the #LoveYourCurvesTour fashion show, receive a $75 gift card and be featured on Ashley Stewart’s Facebook and Instagram pages. I know one thing Dallas brought it and I'm anticipating how well Miami and Los Angeles will do. To all the ladies who strutted their stuff with so much confidence I wish you the best of luck and hopefully we will meet again. I also want to give a huge thank you to Ashley Stewart for the opportunity.

Divas Valentine's will be here before you know it, are you ready? This day is designed for bringing out the sexiness within us. Did you know on this special day women will be buying lingerie to spice up their relationships or wanting to wear something they would not wear on a daily basis. There is a difference between the underwear we wear everyday and lingerie. Valentine's is a special day and we all know we want to look sexy for our loved one. But do you know how to buy lingerie? I'm sure many of you could not find the fight one. Maybe you couldn't find your size or maybe it just didn't look right on you. I will give you tips to finding that sexy piece of lingerie that will excite you and your loved one.

First make sure to get the right size. The wrong size can make or break your lingerie piece. A well fitting piece of lingerie will flatter the positive and hide the negatives! Buying lingerie that is a size small won't make you look slimmer. Quite the contrary, actually. So find out your right measurements and then buy your lingerie so that it fits well!

Try to avoid impulse shopping. Make sure you have time to shop, what I mean by this is if you are tired or stressed you might buy something, but it's unlikely to be something you actually wanted. Chances are you will be grabbing anything to hurry up. So, try to be in a good mood when shopping for lingerie, remember it's suppose to be fun!

When buying lingerie make sure to take notice of the fabric and color. You can choose from silk, satin, leather, lace, fishnet and the list goes on. Fabric is important when buying lingerie. Personally I love silk and cotton because the fabric is comfortable and appealing. Keep in mind that silk and satin are fine for special occasions when you want to feel like royalty, but for everyday use, I would suggest cotton. If you are daring you can become best friends with fishnet and leather!

Next let's talk about color. When it comes to color most women are a little more daring. The color is what ultimately decides the mood you set and the effect you have. Try the traditional colors like black, blue and white which would fit any skin tone perfectly. Also, try wearing red it's a hot color!

When it comes to buying plus size lingerie, keep these tips in mind and always remember, lingerie is suppose to make you look beautiful and sexy. So go and choose what feels and looks the best on you and enjoy your Valentine's Day!
