Hot Halves: Bohemian Day 2

(Sweet Pea Drawstring Empire Top, $96.00; Short Sleeve Print Top, $42.00)
I’m a little bit in love with these bohemian tops this year– second post in a row now! I love these earthier colors and these cool patterns, the figure-friendly shapes, and the interesting design detail. You can save about $50 by picking up the Short […]

Macy’s Plus Feature: New Bohemian

I love this “New Bohemian” feature I found over at Macy’s. I love the crocheted details, the embroidery, the bright colors, and the amazing spangly details. This blouse, the Michael Kors Three-Quarter Sleeve Top, doesn’t really seem to be a plus-size shirt when you look at it, and then ta dah!, it’s available up to […]

Lacey Dresses for Spring

Hmmm, this JS Boutique Strapless Mesh Dress or the Lace Short Dress in Black/Ivory? They’re both around the same price, and extra fancy for when you need a little bit of a self-esteem booster and you might run into an ex-boyfriend. . . or something like that. ;) Lace lovelies are great to gaze […]

Will You Wear Stars This Season?

Star-themed tops and accessories are everywhere this season! I found a bunch of great looks, like this Torrid Star Umbrella pictured here, but I’ve been seeing them around so much that I feel like my judgment is clouded. Will you go for this powerful trend or leave it alone due to kitsch factor?

Blousy, ’70s-Inspired Madness

Alice & Trixie is my total new great love. They’ve got this outstanding collection of bright tops that all of the sudden have me thinking that yes… maybe I will go straight back to my kimono tops! These ones look too tasty to pass up, and the color combos are a little more unusual than […]

Etsy Find: Pink Custom-Made Tops

This comfy wrap top is my newest obsession from Etsy. (I’m always hunting around on there.) It’s available in a bright pink color and can be specially made in just about any size that you request. This color is happy and uplifting, and I think the white serged edges are cute as well. If you […]

As you might know, I write for Fabcrush.com, where we feature lots of mid-slash-high designs from plenty of fantastic labels. I love CC Skye, I adore Muxo from Camila Alves, […]

Hilarious Torrid Post from Pretty Pear

I loved this post over at Pretty Pear. This ad from Torrid is a perfect example of what not to wear: a pouch halter visually ads weight in the wrong places, leggings looks so much better with boots, and even the colors are jarring. Check out the comments below Pretty Pear’s post, too. ;)

4 Amazing Bras for Plus Women

Let me have a mini-rant. What the deal with “large-cup bra” sites?! I’ve never counted so many bras that go up to G but are barely available in size 38/40. It boggles the mind, and that’s why I headed out looking for bras that are a little more plus friendly. Pictured from top left clockwise: […]
