Summer Essentials: High-Waisted SPANX

I’m a little intimidated by these high-powered SPANX, but I know that they’re perfect for maxi dresses and the like. I hate wearing a dress and having lumps and bumps to feel self-conscious about. This will slim everything right now.
How glad are you that SPANX is now doing plus sizes?

Have You Ever Been Desperate for Something in Plus-Size?

Here’s my gripe: I am in love with a certain brand of exercise gear– Doce Vida. It’s a Brazilian brand with lots of bright colors mixed into each of the design details. I adore the cool squiggles and graphic lines, but why oh why aren’t they available in XXL and 3X? I have a feeling […]

Multicolored Peasant Tee

I adore this sexy top. . . I think I’m an earth mother at heart. Whenever I see a peasant top, I scoop it up if it looks like it’s going to fit. I think it’s those tassels at the sleeves that really sold it for me. That decorative banding runs along the neckline to […]

Weekly Plus Icon: Beth Ditto

Image details: Sony BMG Brit Awards Afterparty served by picapp.com
Beth Ditto is definitely at ease with her body and she’s certainly got a style that all her own. What do you think of Beth Ditto of Gossip? I’ve got a lot of respect for a woman who says something like this: “Give me the job. […]

Etsy Find: Summery Tee

This bright tee is just what I need to wear with my favorite plain skirts and oversized sunglasses. It’s available in 2X, which means that one-X girls can wear this comfortable.

Piperlime Finds Under $75

I discovered the Fantastic Finds and Deals section at Piperlime, and I’m so glad that I did. I was lucky enough to see lots of wide-foot friendly sandals from Chinese Laundry, Mia, Sam Edelman, and Pink Studio.I’m obsessed with these Pink Studio Tate Sandals that I found for just $60.00, but of […]

Outfit from Size Appeal

I’ve put together a sexy little outfit for going out this spring. I have a feeling that these capris are going to make you look much slimmer than your usual slim trousers– there’s just something about that shape–and that Aziza Top adds a nice blousy effect to balance out the trim line of your Gina […]

A True Plus Icon

I have a great plus icon who’s actually plus: here’s Charlotte Coyle, born in Ireland, who is represented by Close Models and Wilhemina’s ten20 division. She’s a strong plus advocate who was originally inspired by Sophie Dahl. It’s just too bad that Sophie slimmed down to a smaller size and isn’t half as voluptuous […]

Lingerie I’m Loving: Lunaire Aruba Seamless Microfiber Bra

I am currently on the search for bras, and this one is just amazing! I found it over at Figleaves, one of the most comprehensive lingerie sites that also have full-figured styles, and I was very impressed with the fabric, the cut, the trim, and the color. It’s a little bit unusual, but in a […]
