Two-in-One Ruffles
Igigi has a lot of new dresses being released this month. I absolutely love this Georgia “Two-in-One” Dress. 
It looks like two pieces but is actually one. The ruffled neckline and Dolman sleeves are a flattering change. And pencil skirts are so classic and sexy.
This baby comes in sizes 12 - 30 for $188. You have to check out Igigi’s new customer service feature. There is a video button on the site image that you can press to see a model in the dress showing you the item from all angles. Pretty cool.

The Women’s Fedora
I use to love my grandfather’s fedora. I always thought he looked so dashing. Whenever he wasn’t in it I was trying to get my hands on it. To no avail. I would even go so far as to say that fedoras are one of the reasons I like old movies. Hello, Cary Grant! 
It looks like I can relive that childhood desire with the women’s fedora or “crusher hat” which has become a hot item in Hollywood and on the runway.
This lovely Fedora Nina is from Lilliput Hats in Toronto where their hats are made with “old-world techniques” while the customers watch. This beauty is $170.
While visiting Lilliput looking for feminine fedoras I also fell in love with this Romantic hat that looks like something Virginia Woolf would have worn. It’s called Dorothy and retails for $160.
I could literally live in either of these hats if my big head would allow.

Giraffe Bag
In the Zoo or on a bag, I love giraffes. Baghaus unveiled this new arrival last week and I luv/love it. It’s called a duffle but it’s 17″ L x 7″ W x 9.5″ H and in my opinion passes for a large awesome bag. The print is sensational on this bag and it’s only $52. Giraffabunga!

Lane Bryant Week - Maternity
I’m not pregnant and I’ve never been pregnant but I have had pregnant friends. I also can relate to any woman who has had a hard time finding clothes and being plus size and pregnant is a double dose of woe. Lane Bryant has a complete line of maternity clothing at their site.
These are three of my faves:
Maternity Denim Jacket - this short cotton/spandex jacket would be a great addition to the belly bump wardrobe. It is available in duo sizes 14/16 -26/28 for $49.50.
Maternity tee shirt dress - is cool and comfortable, machine washable cotton/spandex. It has very flattering line and comes in three great colors: black, ruby red and green. Duo sizes 14/16 - 26/28 for $49.50.
Bella Band - the ultimate maternity accessory in plain or with lace. I also think it would be great for non-pregnant women. Wear it with your regular clothes to extend wear and prevent anything from peek-a-booing. There are two sizes: 3 fits pre-pregnancy sizes 16-22 and 4 which fits pre-pregnancy sizes 24 and up. The Bella Band is $30.

Lane Bryant Week - Cacique
Today is Cacique day in our tour of Lane Bryant Week. I love Lane Bryant’s Cacique bras. I have four of them! The one I have the most of is the Microfiber Balconette. 
The Balconette bra looks great under clothing. It is super comfortable, gives amazing support and lift and comes in a great assortment of colors every season. This season: black, cafe mocha, chocolate, ruby red (pictured), white, purple heart, floral, white dots, and indigo. The prices depend on the fabric and ranges from $32 - $40. Sizes range from 36C - 44H.
I didn’t know that LB carried corsets (how’d that happen). Well, they have one and it’s pretty cute. This Tapestry Print Corset is so pretty it could be worn alone with a great pair of jeans or peaking behind a black jacket. It comes in duo sizes 14/16 - 26/28 and is a reasonable price as far as corsets go at $40.

Addition-Elle Interlude - End of Season Sale
Addition-Elle has an amazing end of season sale on at the moment. Ten days only, 70 % off sale merchandise. The same sale is on at Penningtons. And you can shop both stores online at the same time and have merchandise shipped together. All the stuff that is on clearance is easy to see. And no matter how much you buy shipping is only $9 Can/$12 US.
Lane Bryant Week - Dresses
I like interesting features that attract the eye; designs or cuts that are extraordinary. I found two black dresses that fit the bill at Lane Bryant this morning. Talk about adding flare to the little black dress. And both dresses are machine washable. 
Embellished Sleeveless Dress - It’s not he beads on this dress (in fact, I’d probably take them off), it’s the keyhole and banded neckline that make it a unique dress. I only wish it also came in scarlet and ocean as well as the black. It comes in sizes 14/16 -26/28 for $59.50.
Single Shoulder Little Black Dress - “Me Tarzan, you Jane!” Seriously, this is a unique looking dress. How many of them have you seen. Again it only comes in black but it is an obvious difference from the average black dress. It comes in sizes 14/16 -26/28 for $59.50.
