Z. Cavaricci Angie Denim Stirrup Pant

Oh yesssss. . . plus-size stirrup pants. I think they’re a great solution for boots wearing (to avoid bulkiness), and you can wear them alone with flats if you’re not afraid of rocking out ’80s style.
If you would wear these, please tell me. I want to know who’s daring and who’s not.

Let’s Play a Game: Ugly or Cute?

This “Contra Lace Top” confuses me. It has slimming lines, but there’s something about the color and the lace that doesn’t quite sit right with me. Record your vote below!

My Etsy pick this time around is going to kill you guys. I feel like it’s our collective job to avoid anything caftan or muumuu-like, but I’m sorry– I love this piece!

Lane Bryant Pick: Flourish Print Tunic

This top is on sale for $17.99. . . from an incredible $44.50! Can you believe it? I’m totally thrilled, except for the fact that this super deal is only available to women wearing size 14/16. I will find a fair sale tomorrow that encompasses lots more sizes, but if you’re lucky, you can take […]

Next Buy: Chiffon Chic in Grey

Newest obsession: my chiffon chic top in grey from Missphit! I was originally drawn to it in more of a yellow color, but this one will match perfectly with jeans in light blue or in grey. I have a pair of very light grey jeans that I’m just dying to match with something, and finally, […]

This ridiculously great channel-wide “Best of Beauty and Style” Round-Up is what I’m digging this weekend, made up by Kori at Shoeblitz. One of my very favorite posts this week was probably Sabah’s coverage of these mesh sandals from McQueen, because lots of plus ladies can still fit into these, including me! Very gorgeous, very […]

A Little Inspiration on a Sunday

Image details: The Gossip Perform At The Kentish Town Forum served by picapp.com
I was inspired by this quote that I found online today, which I think goes perfectly with my usual Beth Ditto photos that I’m always posting up here: “Each time we face our fear, we gain strength, courage, and confidence in the doing.”
I’m […]

Smock Top Obsessions

I’m obsessed with smock tops, from the peasant variety all the way up to the resort chic type. One of my very favorite, all-around coolest shopping destination is Evans London, which is just under $50 and adds a little country flavor to your closet. I’m staying in Vermont right now, so maybe it’s all rubbing […]
