Randee Lace Up Oxford Pump

Let’s play a game: ugly or awesome? I vote awesome, but that’s only because I’ve been trying to convince myself that they will look amazing and awesome with my newest slim jeans and a glossy clutch. Am I crazy? Let me know!

Ruffle Bolero from Evans

This Ruffle Bolero has me fascinated. It’s so cute, with its fluttery sleeves and ultra-adorable shape in general, but that bright blue version is pulling me in, and I don’t think that it should. Do I dare try to layer something this bright on top with a big bust? Indeed I shall– and I will […]

Missphit Floral Halter Tank

Once you have the best strapless bra ever, you’ll find that everything is possible. I’m usual petrified of halter tops on myself, but (honestly) I feel like I have been missing out! Simple bright cotton is cool and comfy as well.

Featured Piece from Jessica Svoboda

This top is on the weird side of nice– I think it would suit a funkier vixen quite nicely indeed, and it’s very fun-looking. If black isn’t your usual look, there’s also a navy or powder blue. It’s available up to 4X (pretty generous at size 26/28), and is interesting enough to become a wardrobe.

A Brand I Wish Were Plus-Sized. . .

Besides designer pieces that stop at size 10, I find myself wishing that American Apparel would extend sizes or at least start doing true-to-size fitting that’s not on the skimpy side. While a large can work on a generous piece like an oversized tunic, American Apparel pieces don’t really afford that type of give. As […]

Fashion to Figure Find: Beaded Tunic

This Fashion to Figure beaded top has Native American-inspired designs along its shapely scoopneck (which I love!) and a lightweight stretch that’s fit for just about anyone. Unlike a lot of the “banded” sleeveless tanks I’ve been seeing, this one features a nice ruff that runs along the waistline. Available in two colors (brown and […]

Trinidad€ Ruffle Swimsuit

In my dream world, I wait off on this suit until it becomes drastically low-priced and then I pounce. In reality, I can’t quite imagine that happening, since several of these Monif C. styles sold out as soon as they went up on the site. Order one size up for the perfect fit!

Monif C. Silk Butterfly Dress in Pink

This pink butterfly dress in silk is just what I was craving this summer. For anyone who’s even the littlest bit figure-conscious, keep in mind that this handkerchief neckline will drop down to float past your knees (a major concern area of mine), and also cinches under the bust to define. Beautiful, and well worth […]

Women’s Plus Scoop Neck Hoodies from Old Navy

This scoop-neck top has just the right look for a workout sesh. While I might not be the biggest fan ever of wide-stripe tees, I must say that this one has impressed me with its relaxed vibe and its pretty low-key coolness. All you need to do to pull this one off is slip into […]
