Thank you to Heather and Jo-Lynne for all their hard work! All the old posts, over a year’s worth, have been moved over but there is still some minor tweaking to do while I get used to the new format. Please bear with me.

Things will be back to usual by Monday! Thanks for hanging in.

I’m so excited to be moving. Well, not me, this blog.

My 5 Favorite Things will have a new look (really cute) and a new URL. It will take a few days to get things in order so there won’t be any new posts until the import is complete.

But you can check out the new blog and new blog address: http://www.plusshe.com and don’t forget to update your bookmarks, RSS and blogrolls.

See you in a few days!

Have a great weekend!

I was researching a few supersize clothing stores last night and fell in love with this Ansley blouse at Making it Big.

They have a different sizing system over there. The blouse is available in sizes E – K which according to their size chart translates to 2X – 8X. This blouse has a kimono-ish look to it which I love. And it’s a fabulous color.

A great cut for fall and is one of those styles that would work equally well with a pair of jeans or career pants. It is available for $89.

I have always had a particular fondness for the clothing at Addition-Elle, even long after I stopped working there. This week they have an online special of buy one, get the second 50% off; along with $6 shipping in the U.S. and Canada. No coupons required!

My top three items this afternoon are:

Long Sleeveless Cardigan – In black. Open with a pair of dress pants or closed and belted with a wide belt and a pair of jeans. I’m thinking white shirt underneath. It comes in sizes X – 4X for $69.99 (buy one, get the second 50% off).

Pashu Boot Cut Jeans – Boot legs are the plus size girls silhouette dream. If you don’t have a pair you should. I love the fading of these ones which are available in sizes 14 – 24 for $89.99 (buy one, get the second 50% off).

Contour Padded Underwire – In nude. It looks a lot like the Balconette from Lane Bryant. It is available in sizes 38G-42H for $49.99 but is on sale for buy one, get the second at %40 off.

I love these kinds of promotions because you can get extra of your favorites or go in with a friend and split the difference to save.

Yellow dresses became the hot color on the red carpet at the Emmy’s this weekend but not everyone can wear it. I’m one of those people. If you are one of those people but love bright and sunny then you will probably love this bag as much as I do.

It’s bold, it’s bright and it’s big. The three b’s of the year! It’s not your average looking bag with zippers, snaps and profile.

The Photo Op Purse from Baghaus measures 21″ x 6″ x 12.5″ and also comes in white. It’s on sale for $58.

You all know how I absolutely love polka dots. It must be some childhood fetish that has clung to my adulthood. Polka Dot Door anyone? Here is an absolutely fabulous Polka Dot swimsuit from Always for Me.

Specifically, Ocho Rios Twist One Piece Bandeau, which seems like a bit of a long ugly title for such a gorgeous swimsuit. Having the irregular placed spots doesn’t make the eyes go all googly.

This suit has a tummy minimizer, waist minimizer, and breast enhancer (does that only sound funny to me). It comes in sizes 16 – 26 for $79.

I’ve been waiting for over a week to tell you about this Georgette blouse from Igigi because it wasn’t available to order yet. Well, now it’s available.

Even looking at this blouse just makes me feel pretty. Ruffles, variated floral pattern on black is perfect for grey or black dress pants/skirt.

Very classy for the office followed by a dinner out. It is available in sizes 12 – 30 for $62.

I could totally see myself wearing this motorcycle vest while I’m comfortably snuggled on the back of one of Keanu Reeves’ hogs. A girl can dream can’t she?

But seriously, this vest rocks.

It is part of Macy’s INC International Concepts® collection; and of course, since I’m mentioning it, it is plus size. It comes in sizes 0X – 3X. Based on the price, $208, I’m assuming it’s real leather.
