Joining My Perfectly Shaped World

I really like this combination of “social club” and plus-size shop. You can shop for things like the Reality Plus Hand Embroidered Jacket, pictured, and then head on over to their Social Forums to make your own page and contribute your take on plenty of plus issues and fun stuff, too. I’m planning on making […]

Do You Have a Favorite Plus Athletic Brand?

(Tape Trim Active Wear Jacket, $27.65)
I’m currently planning a little performance review over at Burning the Scale, where I would like to wear some pieces from a major plus action label and see how they work out. Each time I buy a pair of exercise pants, I feel like I’m gambling: will they ride […]

BLUR for the “Plus” Men

It’s pretty rare that I use the “plus” term for men, but after visiting Blur Custom Dezigns, I got into their funky men’s clothes for the larger, taller guy. Blur Men will be coming in 2008, and I can’t wait to find out what they’ve got in store for us.

Don’t Forget to Check Out Your “Least Favorites”

There are some sites that I just don’t check out as much as I should. With Fashion Bug and Torrid nearby, I sometimes ignore the basics like Catherines when I’m hunting for new looks.
Today I’ve got my eye on the Graphic Print 3/4 Sleeve Top, which I snatched up on one of my way-overdue trips […]

I’ve Been Tagged!

I’ve been tagged by Tangled Thread, so I thought that you’d like to know seven little-known facts about me, and then I’ll be passing my tagging on to seven other unsuspecting people! (By the way, these facts are not known about me in the blogosphere, but may be known about me in “real life.”)

Fun Saturday Read: Chic Today

I always try to read through some blogs or at least page through some of my favorite sites on the weekend. This time, I found a great site that may not be full-figured in focus, but is a great read for fashion/lifestyle/culture divas who love a good e-zine. (Me!)
What do I love about ChicToday? Well, […]

Musing About Zafu.com

So last night was my first time using Zafu.com, and judging from my experience, I’ll give it a 3– at best! Has anyone here had a bad experience over at Zafu? I’d hate to think that it’s just me, but ug! To be honest, I don’t even want to give it another try.
My problem: […]

…And Jeans That I Can!

They’re a perfect blend of casual and fun, they’re relaxed and hip, and I’d recommend them to just about anyone! Umm, including to myself.

I also adore these cuffed jeans, and I have a feeling that I’m not the only one. The cuffs adds a little something extra, and that deep blue without whiskering or detailing […]
