My Personal Wishlist

A Fun Betseyville Bag

Bright, cute, and totally practical: I feel like a kid again! This Betseyville Bag has panache and is colorful enough to jazz up the ridiculous mountain of black I have in my closet.
Missphit’s Vintage Coat

A cool silhouette with wide, cropped arms will look just right when paired with my slimmer skirts and […]

Ultra-Sexy Party Dress

Okay, I probably wouldn’t wear a belt quite like this, but I looove the fit of the skirt and the ruched side seams. Plus, the sleeves have a totally full, flowing appeal that I have imagine working well on all figures. Oh, and did I mention that it has Lurex, too?
Check out this […]

SWAK Designs Has New Arrivals!

I’m recommending this particular top, the Chinese Collar Tunic from SWAK Designs, to any plus-size woman who is looking for a comfortable jersey tunic with a little extra length to go over the rump. I was not having the best (dare I say it?) “bum day” today, but this top made me feel comfortable despite […]

Black Satin Puff Sleeve Jacket from Torrid.com

Aaaah. I’m so happy that I got a chance to shop for something other than a dress! I might love my LBDs, but sometimes a girl’s just got to branch out.
A little jacket like this one from Torrid goes so far. Whenever you put a skirt on or a nice pair of dress pants, a […]

Full-Figured Wedding Guide: Down That Aisle in Style

I’m a little bit obsessed with this Full Figured Wedding Guide from Chamein Canton. I know from my personal experience working in a wedding shop that shape can make or break your look. (And that can be your shape or the dress’s, for that matter.) This book is a friendly guide for any future bride […]

Cashmere Satin Cropped Jacket

This cashmere cropped coat is perfectly proportional to make you look perfectly trim. Over a sleek black tank or a frilly white blouse, this piece can be worn to work as well as out to a cocktail to-do. Love it!

Lola & Gigi for the Canadian Plus Chicks

Canadian plus and beyond that is. I found out about Lola and Gigi this week– I apologize for the delay– but I wanted to give them the full review before I passed on my advice. And if you’re looking for a collection of designers that seem hand-picked and inspired, then I truly recommend Lola and […]

Style Spotlight: BLUR Custom Dezign

I’ve found another amazing plus-size site that I thought you might be interested in. This sexy New York based label is called Blur Custom Dezigns, and it mixes up some major downtown cool along with interesting recycled designs. My favorite piece, the Blossom Blouse, can be found on their website along with other fascinatingly opulent […]

I’m in the mood to party this week! My first event is scheduled for tomorrow, and while I’d like to leave a little extra room for treats, I’m bound to choose something glitzy and glamorous. If I don’t do it now, when will I? ;)
