Dove Real Beauty Contest
Dove has always been a part of my life. I remember growing up that it was always my mothers bar soap of choice. It has frequently been my choice as well. Dove has become an old reliable for me. I may try other brands but I always return to Dove.
Over the last few years Dove has been highlighting their products while doing a public service to women and young girls worldwide with their Real Beauty campaign. If you haven’t heard of it, here are two short videos to get you started:

A Moop Bag
I love big bags. The Moop Bag is a big bag. Actually, this bag is made by Moop and they are calling it a Market Bag. Moop have nine different styles of bags from duffel to clutch in their Etsy store. 
This Market Bag comes in grey, black, blue and sand but I especially like the rosewood color shown here. It is made from “corded canvas lined with red ripstop cordura”. You can see from the close up shots of the stitching at Etsy that it very well made. This eco-friendly bag is $93 and can be carried messenger style (my tendency) or over shoulder.

Celebrating Valentine’s Day with Lane Bryant
Lane Bryant has an incredibly beautiful collection of lingerie in their Valentine’s Day collection. I can’t believe how impressed I am. It is a small but detailed collection with only eighteen pieces which left me wanting more.
Here are my top three favorites:
Right at the top of my list is this Embroidered Diamond Lace-up Corset. It comes in sizes 14/16 – 26/28 for $48. The matching full panty is $16. That plunge line is marvellous.
Next comes this Chandelier Embroidered Babydoll with matching g-string. It is available in sizes 14/16 – 26/28 for $42.50.
And last but not least, this Heart-to-Heart Mesh Cami and matching boy short. The cami is $26 and and the shorts are $16. They come in sizes 14/16 – 26/28.

Hello Kitty Plus Size Shower Wrap
I know it is strange that a grown woman would go gaga over Hello Kitty but I can’t help it. When I saw this plus size shower wrap featuring Hello Kitty I knew I had to feature it (Yes, it comes in regular sizes for those who come here by accident). 
I know it’s not terribly romantic but it’s terribly cute. This plus size Hello Kitty shower wrap comes from Webundies where it so happens they have Wonder Woman, Super Girl, Hello Kitty underwear (yes I have all three and I love them). The wrap comes in sizes 1x – 3x for $24.99.
What a bargain!

A Chocolate Valentine
One can not celebrate Valentine’s Day without chocolate. Even if you are single, Valentine’s Day is a day you can celebrate chocolate without guilt. Instead of the usual box of chocolates or truffles I want you to head over to the Fat Witch Bakery and get yourself a chocolate treat in the form of a brownie. 
You will find traditional brownies, java brownies, blonde brownies, red brownies, caramel brownies and few more. Myself I’m a traditionalist. The original Fat Witch brownie. “No icing. No preservatives. No nonsense.”
They ship within the U.S. The brownies arrive individually packaged and ready to eat (or put in the fridge for a later treat). They can be ordered singularly to your own taste or in gift packs like the 16 Baby Witch Gift Tin with 8 Fat Witch Babies, 4 Blonde Babies, 4 Walnut Babies for $30.
Fat Witch Bakery is offering a 10% Discount that expires February 13. Coupon code: VWITCH2009

Red Valentine Lingerie
I couldn’t possibly avoid red lingerie all together this week. My absolute favorite sexy Valentine’s lingerie comes from Hips and Curves, I’m sure there is no surprise there.
The Pebble Charmeuse Corset comes in red, black or purple for $59.95. It is available in sizes 38 – 44. The rushing texture is what makes it for me. This piece comes with removable garters and a matching g-string. I think the corset would work nicely under a low cut black blazer.
If you are looking for Valentine’s Day gifts but are aren’t sure of the size, Hips and Curves also offers gift certificates.
That is it for plus size lingerie this week. Tomorrow… chocolate!

Get Animalistic for Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day is smothered with chocolates and different hues of red (which is hot, don’t get me wrong) but don’t feel you have to get locked into flaming red lingerie for the month of February. There are other options that are just as sexy. Yesterday I suggested black, today I’m suggesting print. 
Like this plus size leopard babydoll from Always for Me. It comes in duo sizes 1x/2x – 3x/4x for $39. If you’re worried that this leopard chiffon fabric won’t supply enough support for your ladies then you can add a black plunge bra underneath for that layered effect.
This plunge bra is from Lane Bryant’s Cacique collection and comes in sizes 36C to 44H for $34.
Here’s a coupon code for Lane Bryant for 15% off your order: 000155922. It expires February 17th.

The Chiffon Babydoll Alternative
It’s hard to believe we are almost to the end of January. Guess what comes next? Valentine’s day! It’s never too early to start thinking about some thing soft and silky. In fact, it shouldn’t be left to special occasions like Valentine’s Day. 
I’ve been holding on to this for a few weeks. It’s so soft and sweet. Lingerie for Valentine’s Day doesn’t haven’t to be red. Black is just as sexy. This Rhinestone Babydoll in sheer chiffon with g-string from Always for Me also comes in light pink. It is available in sizes 1x – 3x for $39.
