I am a Warrior!

I am a Warrior!

I can spend all day looking at the different designs of t-shirts at CafePress. And luckily they introduced a plus size line of Tees last year. Hopefully they’ll expand it to all their t-shirts, hoodies etc. This is one of my favorite tees. A – because it has a cute stick drawing. B –...

New at Junonia

New at Junonia

The latest Junonia catalogue arrived today. Don’t you just love a new catalogue. The expectation of finding something new. I grew up with the Sears catalogue which was a big event in our house. It meant shopping! I curled up in my chair with it and a glass of water. Quite a few of...

Two for Two

Two for Two

Now that I’ve gotten that out of my system. Here are two fabulous tops I found at, where else… Torrid. 1. Red Ruffle Halter Top (511131) – I love the deep peek-a-boo cleavage. It comes in sizes 18 – 26 for $38. It would look great with denim for a night out with the...

Say “No” to Patterned Tights

Say “No” to Patterned Tights

I normally don’t do things that I don’t like but these are so wrong I had to mention them. I don’t know what Torrid was thinking: Sure the model has great legs but these just make me cringe. Don’t do it. Please! If you have to do the tights out in public then just...

A Pipe Dream, or two… or three

A Pipe Dream, or two… or three

Flats are still in this year and they certainly have come a long way in terms of style and selection. Piperlime is a new shoe shop for me but I have to say I found a lot of prime choices here. I couldn’t just limit it to one so here are three (the ultimate...

Corset Top

Corset Top

Every once in a while I return to my Gothic roots. Ok, I was never really Gothic, I was more of a Gothic-wanna-be. Anyhooo, this Renaissance top in eggplant from Maximum woman took me back there again. I love the faux corset lace at the chest, square neckline and the sleeves longer than 3/4...

Pretty in Violet

Pretty in Violet

I like simple but pretty things for sleeping in. Like this cami and boy short set from Hips and Curves. It took me a while to warm to the whole boy short style; as far as I was concerned it was right up there with thongs. But I’ve grown and now tolerate a few...

It’s a bit cold outside so I decided to look for a sweater at Old Navy. They have a 50% off sale on at the moment. I found this Tie Front Crop Sweater (561072). Cozy but not heat flash causing. It comes in black and fig pudding (I know! I want a job naming...

  • A Cut Above
    I love to watch television shows that have extreme transformations like the ones seen on America's Next Top model, when they totally change the look of the model with a haircut or color. I do not however like "makeover" shows or even the term as they suggest that something was wrong with... […]
  • Miss Representation
    The Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) has been airing a documentary by Jennifer Siebel Newsom called Miss Representation. The title is an interesting play on words. If you get the chance I highly recommend watching the 90 minute documentary that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival last year which... […]
  • Weight Bullying
    It is not o.k. to bully someone about their weight and then try to cushion it with "I am telling you this because I care" or the multitude of other passive-aggressive comments that come from friends, family, and my personal favorite strangers who are driven by stereotypes of being fat and decades of […]
