ANTM’s Plus-Sized Model Winner: Thoughts?

Sigh. I’ve been mulling over this for two days, but I must ask you: what do you think of America’s Next TopModel’s winner Whitney Thompson? I’ve been reading articles on how she’s “not really a size 14,” but I definitely don’t agree. After checking out her stats, she’s incredibly tall and that’s what has made […]

Mega Wide-Width Shoes: Yea or Nay?

I know that wide-width shoes can be wayyy more beautiful than these, but I’m oddly tempted. Tell me: if you had super wide feet, would you go for them? Especially if, say, your feet hurt every day.
Forget what The Manolo says about Crocs and crocs-esque shoes… and tell me if you’d ever give these […]

My SATC Accessory

This fun hat I discovered over at Torrid reminds me of some great pieces I have seen on Sex and the City, and since it’s finally almost time to see it, I’m getting pretty thrilled. This one has a little puff of net and little sweet feathers. J’adore!
I found it here!

Amazing T-Shirt Bra

This bra looks like it’ll be totally great underneath your tees. I have a bunch of thin t-shirts in darker colors that really need something substantial underneath. Those triple-padded straps look super comfortable– I doubt anything will try to sneak south when you’re wearing this.

Buy the Goddess bra over at Nordstrom.

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.
