Have a great start to your week!

If you are looking for something different in your outerwear I recommend checking out the UK plus size store Evans. They have an interesting array of short and long coats. And they have surprisingly reasonable shipping to North America. My favorites as you can see are multiple and range in price from £50 to £75 which is about $82 to $124. Evans offers their line of plus size outerwear in sizes 14 to 32. But I’d hurry if I were you, pretty soon spring clothing will be out and outerwear will be scarce.

More to come!

Thigh high boots seem to be the order for this season. High (up the leg, not the heel) and suede. Unfortunately finding a thigh high boot for plus size women need, is incredibly difficult.

I found three pairs I really liked at Shoes.com with a 15 ½” circumference: The Sam Edelman’s come in black, brown, and stone suede for $199. The Matisse come in black for $229. The Corso Comos come black and sand grey suede for $287. Shoes.com offers free shipping in the U.S. (they ship internationally).

For a thicker circumference, I found two pair at Zappos — Dolce Vita Crosby ($314.50) and See by Chloe ($719) — those that can do.

To take full advantage of the suede thigh boots go monochrome — black tights, short dress or long sweater etc. Or grey, brown, depending on color suede chosen.

Big is in when it comes to neck wear this season but it doesn’t work for everyone especially if there is a lot on top to begin with. If you want to add some big then this Coin Chain Necklace ($24) from Swak Designs is a good choice. It gives the appearance of being large without coming across as bulky. It also makes an calming noise when shaken.

Have a delightful weekend!

Last week on twitter a tweet quickly passed by about 20% off something something and out of curiosity I clicked the link. I was directed to Art Fire which turns out to be a similar shop idea to Etsy — artisans making and selling their wares.

Sleeping Cat Beads is run by Heather Rainbolt Kahan who has been producing “fun, funky beaded jewelry” for over two years. I was immediately attracted to a pair of whimsical ghost earrings that I thought were adorable (and of course tweeted about). Since I have no use for them, Halloween being over and all, I continued looking around.

There were many items from necklaces, anklets, and of course earrings ranging in price from $8 to $135. Since this was my first time ordering from Art Fire I didn’t want to go crazy. I decided on a pair of Cranberry and Copper Earrings for $10. With the limited coupon provided in the tweet I paid $8 plus $3 for shipping.

My package arrived today, almost a week later. The earrings were professionally packaged in a zip bag and jewelry box along with an invoice, business card and a cute mini-mini notepad. And they look exactly as they did in the photo.

I’m very happy with the service and love the earrings which work really nice with my skin tone. Ordering at Art Fire was super easy. I didn’t even have to register; although that was a choice. I recommend checking out Heather’s jewelry designs as well as the many other artisans.

Baghaus introduced a few new bags this week. Here are my favorites (videos courtesy of Baghaus). As you can see the majority of them are quite large, with a smaller one for evening.

For those still experiencing warm weather here’s a great weekend bag — Malik Regina Hobo. The right size to throw in a light change of clothes. I love the color. And only $39.95. It comes in five other colors!

The career bag — Melie Bianco Tori Bag. It is big enough for a book a few file folders and the usual staples. It comes in a subdued taupe or a hot lips fuchsia for $90.90.

The every day bag –Lola Tristan Bag — is big enough for all the emergencies that come our way. It comes in tan, black and coffee for $53.95. I especially love the simple texture of this bag.

And finally the evening bag — Melie Bianco Vogue Evening Bag for $49.95. Not too small that all you can carry is your lipstick. It’s a functional evening bag. Currently only available in gold but I imagine they will be getting more black for the holiday season.

There is a small debate as to which size of a bag is more flattering to the plus size body type. Personally, I go more for style and functionality and think if a woman likes a purse she should use it regardless of your body size and the size of the bag. What are your thoughts on an every day bag? Is bigger better?

Where I live elbow length sleeves in the winter can seem well a bit ridiculous. But I absolutely love the look of these elbow length sleeves from Fashion Bug. If you don’t like the full bat wing look that is totally trendy right now then these are a nice alternative that don’t distract from the waistline. And it is a perfect time to wear them.

The heather grey cowlneck extreme tunic (50210) comes in sizes S to 28. It is also available in black. And it is only $14.99!! The ruby elbow sleeve cowlneck sweater (33703) comes in cream, blue and black in sizes S to 28 for $29.99. I’m really loving Fashion Bug’s new prices and cute tops.
