It’s Shameless Self-Promotion Time

If you’re looking for mid to higher-end accessories and style suggestions, there’s a pretty interesting site that I thought you might want to check out. (*Disclaimer: I contribute to this site!) Fabcrush has a bunch of interesting finds and tips that apply to the plus world as well, like the Warm and Sexy article on […]

What’s a Plus-Size Essential?

I got to thinking about what makes some plus-size woman look so great. Do you think they have a secret? Is it the whole “package” and impeccable grooming?
When it really comes down to it, my theory about other well-turned out plus women is that they make use of the very best foundation garments to smooth. […]

Now the Real Shopping Begins!

As much as I love the holidays, there’s nothing like post-Christmas sales and all the incredible deals you will find just about everywhere. This year I’m on the search for basics and those marked-down amazing seasonal pieces, like cashmere sweaters and fun frocks.
Do you remember the best deal you ever got? I definitely do. It […]

Can Plus-Size Women Pull Off a Satin-y Dress?

I love this Kiyonna Sunburst Charmeuse Dress, but do you think it works on plus figures? This type of shiny, shiny fabric can be very daunting, especially when you wear a size 20 or more! What do you think?

A Fun Betseyville Bag

Bright, cute, and totally practical: I feel like a kid again! This Betseyville Bag has panache and is colorful enough to jazz up the ridiculous mountain of black I have in my closet.
Missphit’s Vintage Coat

A cool silhouette with wide, cropped arms will look just right when paired with my slimmer skirts and […]

SWAK Designs Has New Arrivals!

I’m recommending this particular top, the Chinese Collar Tunic from SWAK Designs, to any plus-size woman who is looking for a comfortable jersey tunic with a little extra length to go over the rump. I was not having the best (dare I say it?) “bum day” today, but this top made me feel comfortable despite […]

Full-Figured Wedding Guide: Down That Aisle in Style

I’m a little bit obsessed with this Full Figured Wedding Guide from Chamein Canton. I know from my personal experience working in a wedding shop that shape can make or break your look. (And that can be your shape or the dress’s, for that matter.) This book is a friendly guide for any future bride […]

The French Have Plus-Size Down Pat

Awesome new blog alert! I’d like to comment that while I adore this plus-size blog, I don’t speak French. However (and surprisingly), my Portuguese skills really came in handy when I was reading Les Modeuses Rondes. It’s a great French language blog that covers the best looks from a world of brands that I need […]
