Spring Shapewear & Supportwear Intimates

You know the drill. . . you’re wearing a gorgeous spring dress, but you want to feel more secure in something so light, especially if it features skinny straps, a shorter-than-usual hemline, or a deep v-neck plunge. Since I don’t want you to have to sacrifice your spring styles, let’s see what can make us […]

Etsy Find: KuteGirlKlothing’s Tokidoki Top

These KuteGurl tops were introduced due to lots of requests for plus-size items over at Etsy, and I’m glad that they were! It’s a size XL that looks like it will work best for the petite ladies. XL is a start, but where’s my 3X?! Take a look at the top here.

Full-Figured Beauty: Lip Tricks

If you’re sized 14+, you know that it can get really annoying when people keep commenting on your “pretty face” and ignore the rest. I think it’s super irritating, but for the sake of good spirit, if you can’t beat ‘em– join ‘em. This week’s feature is focusing on the lips, which are easy to […]

Hilarious Torrid Post from Pretty Pear

I loved this post over at Pretty Pear. This ad from Torrid is a perfect example of what not to wear: a pouch halter visually ads weight in the wrong places, leggings looks so much better with boots, and even the colors are jarring. Check out the comments below Pretty Pear’s post, too. ;)

Your Favorite Style City

I was tooling around New York City today, and I was thinking all about top style destinations. Today was pretty disappointing, in terms of fashions and the like, but I do have another destination that always provides top looks without fail- London! Whenever I need an injection of hipness, that’s my first stop over at […]

The Worst Dress Ever

I just tried on what I think was the ugliest dress ever. . . and I got trapped in it! Have you ever tried to shop in a “non plus friendly” store and have tried things on with rather stressful results? I pulled on a navy blue dress with snaps over the bust, and when […]

Sunday Top Picks: Torrid.com

 

So I shop every day– what’s so bad about that? I always swing by the shops on the weekend to see what’s going on, and I’ve selected four top items I just love. One’s a definite basic– the White Puffed Sleeve Shirt– while that Betsey Johnson green purse is just something to put a smile […]

Ditsy Print Kimono

This Ditsy Print Kimono Top is so springy that I can’t resist. Light, airy, and fitted, I’m really digging this one. Pink and cream, complete with lace trim in 100% cotton. Adorable!
I think I’ll layer this one with a spring swing coat and jeans.

Hot Halves: Bright Prints

(Donna Ricco Contrast Waist Dress, $168; Brown Print Summer Dress, $22.99)
Spring dresses are fun in new prints, but they don’t have to cost an arm and a leg! I found this amazing dress at Nordstrom that has a waist panel to show off your shape, but at $168, it can be considered a little steep […]
