Loving Ed
This bag reminds me of the rocking tattoo that I’m too chicken to get.
This Ed Hardy Romy Large Tote is on sale for $220 (regular $250) It’s fully lined and actually has a completely different image on the other side. It’s a combination of durable cloth with leather embellishments. And it’s pretty big - 19.5″ L x 5″ W x 17″.
A nice change to the eco friendly reusable bags offered by the grocer. To coin a phrase… “It’s hot.”

Monif C Spring Release
I received an email this morning about plus size designer Monif C’s new collection. Here are my favorites:
This “Sunner” Colorblock Maxi Dress - Blue Multi is full of stunning colors. It is made of luxurious rayon jersey and available in sizes 14-24 for $235.
Next up is “Diva” Red Silk Chiffon Dress with Crystal Brooch. It’s 100% silk and comes in sizes 14 - 24. It is tagged with a designer price of $380.
And lastly, the “Jilly” Neo-Print Silk Jersey Dress. I just think it needs a big black belt to help break up the pattern. It is made of silk jersey and also comes in sizes 14 - 24. It’s tagged for $318.
There’s so much more I liked but I didn’t want to list her whole line!

Always Swimmingly
I love this sexy swimsuit dress from plus size retailer Always for Me.
I really have to go here more often. The site has changed so much since the early day. They have a fabulous selection of suits. I think I may go back tommorrow.
This Hilo Halter Swimdress (#IO4519-08X) is a new addition and comes in sizes 16W-26W. Special features of this suit include a bust enhancer, waist and hip minimizer, and tummy reducer. All for $89.

Beyond Navy
Over at Old Navy I found this peachy one piece.
As you remember, last year they decided to move their plus size section online only and that really disturbed a lot of people. Not me because I never shopped there and didn’t really care.
But now that they are online, and I’m online, I spend more time there. I have seen their plus size offerings grow and think they are filling a gap.
This peachy punch number also comes in solid green or black. This cross over back suit comes in sizes 1x - 4x (3x is currently sold out). It’s reasonably priced at $39.50.

Flip Flopping
Feet sweat. They sweat more in summer. Did you live in your flip flops last year? Sweat and rubber are a great breeding ground. Chances are they are not going to survive the washer and giving them a wipe just isn’t going to kill those nasty bugs and odour. So toss ‘em ladies! It’s time to replace those flip flops.
I’ve been doing Yoga for about six years now so when I see the word come up, my interest perks up. I was reading a green magazine and came across these interesting flip flops called Yoga Sandals and thought they would be a perfect addition for poolside and pretty much everywhere we tend to wear flip flops that we shouldn’t.
They come in ten different colors but the style is basically the same. I know it’s surprising but I particularly like the white and the black ones (they also have denim ones on sale). They range in price from $24.95 - $29. Unlike the single thong sandal these ones are suppose to be more comfortable and offer better alignment and support. Each pair comes with a little loop for you to add your favorite charm. Kind of cute. They sell charms or you can add your own.

Let’s Get Swimming… ok Sunbathing
It feels like summer here. It was 22 yesterday and me without a new suit. What’s with that? This week I’m going to go looking for pretty suits to inspire me. I hope they inspire you too.
First up is this Solid Beaded Center One Piece from Swimsuits for All.
It comes in sizes 18 - 24 and is on sale for $63 and it has a soft cup bra and can accommodated a c/d cup. There is a little bit of tummy control with the 20% spandex.
And it comes in chocolate brown!

Red Lace
With the belt or without, this fully lined Red Lace top is eye catching. It looks cute with the cuffed shorts shorts Igigi paired with them but I think the black wide legged pants or a black pencil skirt is a must (even grey would be nice).

The elastic raglan sleeves offer coverage and add to the cute appeal of what is essentially a hot color. The top comes in sizes 12 - 32 and is on sale for $63 (regular $75).
I love wide belts especially when they come in plus sizes. This Black Patent Buckle belt is 4 inches wide! I can see used both for dressy and casual (white cotton shirt and jeans come to mind). It is available in double sizes from 12 - 32 (18/20 is sold out) and is selling for $45.

A Taste for Cinnamon
I fell in love with the Loren top over at b&lu this morning.
I’ve never really spent any time there (I know shame on me) but I’m actually quite glad I went over there this morning. They have a number of pretty things but this was one of the first to catch my eye.
It comes in two colors, black and cinnamon… yum! b&lu offers plus size clothing in sizes 14 - 30. I like this top because of the color, empress waist (sorry, I love them) and the accent bow which is off center instead of right in the middle.
