FLORAL PRINT TUNIC TANK

This floral print Alloy tank is available in size 2X, which makes me very happy. Juniors sizes can be a great switch when you are feeling like your wardrobe is way too grown-up and you’re headed on vacation. Talk about a passport to fun.

Torrid Adore Ivory Satin Chandelier Bridal Gown and Wrap Set

Sigh. . . where have I been, not checking in on Torrid’s amazing selections for bridalwear?! I’m loving this elegant gown with an empire waist and champagne trim, especially with a nice bunch of purple flowers or something similar. Tulle ruffle with elegant pickups.

Tie Halter Top in Lovely Polka Dots

Sigh. . . if only finding a plus-size bra to work with this piece were that easy, we’d all be happy, wouldn’t we? I’ll deal since I have a feeling that this awesome top will make me gloriously happy, and that’s something I won’t complain about. This piece is available up to size 18 and […]

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 […]

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 […]
