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 […]

Missphit’s Vintage Coat

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

Little Black Dress to Match My Wrap

I couldn’t just show off a gorgeous wrap without a beautiful dress to follow! Lately I’ve been trying to do the “basics thing,” but it can get frustrating when you’re surrounded by beautiful plus pieces.

Gorgeous New Dress at Igigi

I’ve found a gorgeous new dress at Igigi: this black and lace number with subtle sex appeal. I’ve always been sort of hesitant about holiday clothes, but this dress looks like it could be a dressier addition to that closet of LBDs you already have!
I definitely recommend this dress, which you can find on Igigi […]

Igigi Rocks the 2007 Hip Hop Awards

Every time I turn around, Igigi is doing something else that’s exciting, new, and innovative in the plus-sized world. And I’m not surprised, either: they are a superb plus-size fashion label with style, and you know what? You can’t beat Igigi’s quality!
Last night, Igigi dressed two gorgeous plus-size models in their Crown Jewels Velvet Gown […]
