Pintucked Maison Shopper
After blue, my next favorite color is red. One of the hottest trends in clothing this season is fabrics that have been ruched; which is a fancy term for fabric that has been gathered. This pintucked bag reminds me so much of that look.
This synthetic leather bag from Baghaus is 15″ x 4.5″ x 14″ with an 11″ drop handle. It also comes in white, but seriously, when red is available why would you? It is currently on sale for $52 (regular $72).

Beauty Fix No. 1 - Kronos Phyx
It’s been over a week and half since I started using the Kronos Phyx creme from my Beauty Fix kit. A full size bottle from this new line of anti-aging hair products was provided and is listed for a retail value of $105 (if you remember, the Beauty Fix kit only costs $50).
Kronos Phyx is like an overnight mask for your hair. It’s mission is to take the age out of your hair using it’s “patent-pending t-sfere technology” by targeting the skin of the scalp as well as the hair. It’s simple to use. All I had to do was dab a bit into my hand, rub between both hands to warm it up and spread it around then finger it through my hair and go to bed. There’s no need to put on a head wrap or put anything down on the pillow. In the morning I just lightly shampoo and styled as usual.
I was surprised how light the creme was and how easy it was to spread through the hair. I used my boar hair brush to help distribute it after I had throughly applied it with my hands. Recommended use is two or three times a week or every other day. As someone who has poker straight hair, I immediately noticed a difference in the texture and appearance after only two uses. It made the hair smoother in appearance, controlled the little bit of frizz I was starting to develop with the change of weather and made it incredibly touchable soft.
So far it has been two for two. If you missed it, last week I spoke highly of Jane Iredale’s latest dust powder.

Hip Hugging Boho Skirt
What appeals to me about this skirt first is that it is long; but mostly, it’s figure hugging then it flares out at the bottom to provide balance (visual balance, not physical balance). This pretty little thing can be found at plus size clothing retailer, SWAKdesigns.
It comes in seven other colors besides this one (black, burgundy, brown, purple, blue, rust and gray) and in a large range of sizes 1x - 6x. It is made of 45% Polyester 45% Rayon 10% Spandex and the waist can be worn folded over or completely open. Swak is offering it for $39.99.
I would personally prefer this Tier Boho skirt with a pair of kick-ass boots rather than pumps or flats. How about you?

Time to Get Some Active Wear
Anytime is a good time for new active wear but for the month of November plus size swimsuit, lingerie and active wear retailer, AlwaysForMe has joined forces with fitness expert, Rochelle Rice in honor of American Diabetes Month.

For every active wear order of $50 or more, AlwaysForMe is donating $1 to the American Diabeties Association.

I have never heard of Rochelle Rice but apparently she has encouraging the improvement of fitness levels across the U.S. for almost a decade. In 2001 her book –Real Fitness for Real Women: A Unique Workout Program for the Plus-Size Woman was published.
AlwaysForMe.com carries plus size active wear by Danskin, Enell and A Big Attitude including everything from sports bras to yoga pants.

Harness Boots
Yes they are women’s boots! I absolutely love them. These Frye Women’s Harness boots are from Shoes.com and I think they would go great with the Postman Bag from last week. They come in tan, black or brown. 
These hand crafted boots are just so pretty. I know, I know, way too many cowboy movies growing up. But I love them and would wear the sin right out of them. They’re made of smooth full grain leather upper, have a 2″ heel, square toe and a pull on harness, what more do you need except your favorite jeans and t-shirt. They come in sizes 5.5 - 11 for $210.
