Plus-Size Athletic Gear

One thing that I think still prove in the world of plus-size fashion is athletic wear. Even if some people may think that we don’t exercise, that’s no different from the average sized shoppers with an expired gym membership and the best of intentions.
I’ve been able to rustle up some good stuff, but it wasn’t […]

Dress Giveaway: Last Day!

I wish plus-size giveaways were a little easier to find, but I’ll be content for now knowing that Pasazz is giving away an awesome maxi dress, and it’s the last day to add your name to the pot. I’m not going to post the photo here, because I want you to go over to Pasazz […]

Apologies and Our Sunday Reading List

Dear Readers, I’ve been having technical problems which have prevented me from accessing my blog! Forgive me! I’m back..
What’s better on a Sunday than a little reading?

Big Fat Blog questions whether “it’s socially acceptable to be fat now,” and what that does to our plus-size community.

Pasazz shows us why Swimsuits for All works on our […]

Featured Top to Flatter All Plus-Size Shapes

Everyone looks for the perfect top. One that flatters your bustline, smoothes imperfections, and reaches that just-right length that means you can lean over and pick something up without flashing everyone a good view of your back and possibly a lot more. I’ve found that a lot fo the tops this season are great for […]

Another Perfect Bag for Plus-Sized Women

I’m feeling inspired by Allure’s Free Stuff Giveaway—which everyone should be playing, by the way, because the chances are very good—and I’ve been hanging out a little too much on my favorite affordable luxury site, eluxury.com.
Since purses are a classic buy that’s relatively safe, they’re excellent when you’re feeling a little unsure of your […]

Kiyonna’s Wedding Page. . . Finally!

I admit that there are a lot of plus-size wedding fashion sites that make me feel a little scared. Satin, lace, and beading aren’t exactly the best on plus-size frames. We can look frumpy with down-to-the-floor gowns, and there’s no reason for us to cover up those legs!

So when I found Kiyonna’s guide to plus-size […]

Rummaging Through Sydney’s Closet

My newest discovery is Sydney’s Closet, a site for plus-size women who need an outfit for a certain special function. If you’re tired of looking for a gown that fits and you’ve got to settle for that semi-frumpy a-line, then I highly recommend you check out Sydney’s Closet. If she was a real person, and […]

I’m always looking for new sites that appeal to our plus-size interests. Even though content is essential, I can’t resist a well-designed site. My newest love is Beauty Plus Power, which stuffs in a bunch of fashion sales, great buys, and features for all plus-size women. Beauty Plus’s bright website colors and layout […]

Plus-Size Teen Shop: B & Lu

Okay, I may not be a teen anymore (sigh), but I do love this funky teen shop, B & Lu. Their selection may not be the biggest I’ve seen for plus-size shopping, but they do carry carefully selected pieces to suit a variety of tastes.
And budgets. Thanks to a handy sale going on right now, […]

Picks of the Day: $20 and Under

Stumped on budget shirts? I love a lot of the plus-size fashion sites out there, but some of them I can only dream about. I’m looking for tops that hug my curves without squishing them and don’t add up to shapeless tents, either.
I really think I’ve found it: Mimi’s Curvy Corner. Tops are divided by […]
