I like a number of Making It Big’s plus size outerwear and apparently Kim Brittingham from Kim Weighs In (professional opinion video short on YouTube) does too. What I like about seeing the coats in action is that I get a better sense of how they look on different plus size bodies. There’s something...

Hot Or Cold
It’s been pretty cold here and at my in-laws for the last two weeks. Ok, who am I kidding, more than a few weeks. One would wonder if summer had forgotten to come this year (really, I’m not complaining; just amused). I was all set to tell you about this lovely “plummy mummy” Hooded...

Zebra Trench
Not the long it’s pouring outside beige coat your grandfather used to wear. I’m talking about the feminine short coat that’s not really a coat. Like this 100% cotton one from Bloomingdales plus size clothing line. I’ve kind of become obsessed with the whole trench coat look since I seen a model on the...

Motorcycle Vest
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...

Eco-friendly Wild Silk
Babs Studio Boutique offers clothing in sizes 2 – 26. I absolutely fell in love with this opera length pewter jacket. As the description says it can be “worn casually with jeans” or with a long black dress. The jacket is made from Wild Silk so it isn’t surprising that it is $399. The...

- A Cut AboveI love to watch television shows that have extreme transformations like the ones seen on America's Next Top model, when they totally change the look of the model with a haircut or color. I do not however like "makeover" shows or even the term as they suggest that something was wrong with... […]
- Miss RepresentationThe Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) has been airing a documentary by Jennifer Siebel Newsom called Miss Representation. The title is an interesting play on words. If you get the chance I highly recommend watching the 90 minute documentary that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival last year which... […]
- Weight BullyingIt is not o.k. to bully someone about their weight and then try to cushion it with "I am telling you this because I care" or the multitude of other passive-aggressive comments that come from friends, family, and my personal favorite strangers who are driven by stereotypes of being fat and decades of […]
