Bag Lady Wanna Be

I’ve been pining over a cognac Matt and Nat handbag for over a year so I thought I’d go take a look a gander at it. Guess what? My bag is no longer available! They have a whole new line. That goes to show what I get for waiting. I did find two bags...

The Hippy Look

Sometimes I think there are really no new fashions, that every thing will all come back again in this continuing cycle only maybe with a twist or some added flare. When I came across this out fit at online plus size clothing store Silhouettes I had a flashback to my jumper days, which weren’t...

Pattern that Works

Being a strong visual person I’m easily attracted to patterns. But lets face it, some patterns just don’t work. Even on skinny people. It was love at first sight with this top at Lane Bryant. It’s a crinkle satin material with bold irregular patterns on a black backdrop. It comes in sizes 14/16 –...

Who Wears Short Shorts

Do you remember that Nair commercial? It’s the theme for this week’s fave products. Shorts! Although you will not find short, shorts here. Sorry, I haven’t worn them since I was forced to wear them in highschool… the gym uniform. Seriously, they looked like panties. I think I still have them boxed away somewhere....

A jewelry artist emailed the other day to let me know she added a collection of plus size pieces to her website, Z Creations. I found 10 plus size necklaces....

Cool Swimsuit
