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

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.***Topic

It's a little over a month before Halloween but I just can't help thinking about costumes. And when I saw these boots the first thing that came to mind was pirates. ARR! Of course these boots from Zappos would be great for any scalawag wanting to go clubbing or to dress up a pair of leggings or skinny jeans.These Gabriella Rocha Marie boots are medium width, sizes 5 - 10.

I know it's a bit colder but for those of us who think about indoor swimming in the colder months, looking at swimsuits doesn't seem so silly. I found this cute and functional two piece swimsuit at Jessica London. And it's on sale!

If it has anything to do with the "goddess" chances are I'll take a closer look. I believe every woman needs to find her inner goddess and there's no better way to start than through clothes. Today's fave bears that in mind.This Goddess Dress is by Abby Z. (I think that might even be her modelling it). This is a new take on a popular design for them.

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

Oooo to have the money to splurge on a hand bag! Like this Vivia Ferragamo hand bag from Arm Candy.This "small doctor" bag, for some reason, reminds me of a snowy owl. Ok, use some imagination people! The buckles are the eyes. The downward peak in the center is the beak. Anyway, I think it's beautiful. And it's on sale, 40% off $1300. So only $780. What a bargain.I could put so many things in

A friend of mine sent her kids back to school which is a huge signal that swim season is almost over. Well, in some parts of the continent. One of my favorite shops for swimwear this year has been Always for Me. They've grown so much since they first opened up shop three years ago. They even have their own line. I couldn't just pick one so here are three:Manzanillo Two Piece Skirtini - comes in

The color of these Warrant Slingback Sandal by Carlos Santana is fabulous. Fabulous! Could the heel be any higher and still look this good? I think not.These medium width shoes come in sizes 6 - 8.5 for $99. I covet these shoes. I also wish they came in bigger sizes like 9 or 10. The color reminds me of a super rich glossy red lipstick.

I almost missed posting this. This week is Igigi's Customer Appreciation week. It ends August 13th. All account holders will find a $25 Gift Certificate waiting for them when they log in to shop (I checked, mine was there). If you don't have an account but create one before August 13th you will still get a $25 Gift Certificate. Visit Igigi.

Penningtons sent a teaser email introducing a new line of denim called Foxy Jeans. They currently carry two lines called MXM and Manager so this will be a nice addiction. No word yet on the exact release date but if you visit the sites you can get a glimpse.

As I mentioned yesterday, this week is Island Fever Week care of Kiyonna. Today's highlight is their Delaney Dress.I love the vintage Roman print and the fact it is 100% cotton. Nice and comfortable for the remaining days of summer. I don't know about you but it's hot here until October. What you don't see is the smocking back which makes this dress a simple pull-over.

I've been pining over a cognac Matt and Nat handbag for over a year so I thought I'd go take a look a gander at it. Guess what? My bag is no longer available! They have a whole new line.

Sometimes I think there are really no new fashions, that every thing will all come back again in this continuing cycle only maybe with a twist or some added flare. When I came across this out fit at online plus size clothing store Silhouettes I had a flashback to my jumper days, which weren't very long ago, thank you very much. But I loved them and after seeing this outfit, it appears I still do.

Being a strong visual person I'm easily attracted to patterns. But lets face it, some patterns just don't work. Even on skinny people.It was love at first sight with this top at Lane Bryant. It's a crinkle satin material with bold irregular patterns on a black backdrop. It comes in sizes 14/16 - 26/28 for $39.50. I love the mixture of teal, silver, black and white.

Today I ventured into Torrid's short section. I was surprised to see so many this late in the season. And if you are looking for short, shorts they are definitely there, quite a few actually. But as I said yesterday, you won't find them on this blog.I quite like this pair but not with the espadrilles. These are definitely clunky sandal, or hiking boot shorts (or barefoot even). This Z.

Of course this led me to think about swim wear.One of my new/old places for swimsuits is Always for Me.

It is no surprise to you (or at least it shouldn't be) that I love polka dots. Even better is when a piece of clothing is accented with them. Like this lovely dress from plus size dress giant Igigi. This flowy dress is a poly/spandex blend and it has bra-friendly straps that can take your cares away from the peek-a-boo effect which is sometimes associated with wearing sleeveless and open neck

I was all set to talk about the days of summer and how they deserved a cotton shirt like the red cotton one I found in clearance at Catherines. I was going to talk about how it seems the older I get the less I care about how bare my arms are. And how much I loved the color of this shirt. And that it was on sale for $16.79. blah, blah blah.

Wearing a bathing is so much simpler than when I was a kid.

It's listed as a coverup but I think it's a perfectly acceptable sun dress for an afternoon brunch with friends or family.It's made with soft loop terry which isn't necessarily cool but it is comfy.

Baby dolls are definitely a "cool" item for summer whether you have a partner or not (they weren't just designed for the opposite sex). It's a time to put away the flannels and t-shirts and play a little.

I love these new vintage wash jeans from Belle Avenue. Apparently there are diamond studs on the rear but what makes it for me is the waist. So atypical to a plus size jean.These jeans come in 2x and 3x which seems like odd sizing to me for jeans. Like most denim these days there's a little bit of spandex for comfort and fit.

This green smocked top is an old favorite of mine. It is made of cotton which is always a favorite; especially in summer, but I like how the smocking is low instead of the usual empress style.It comes in sizes 1x - 3x and is $27.99. At the moment it is only available in hot pink or yellow. I'd wear it with a pair of lightweight white skirt or beige khakis. Maybe even a white tank underneath.***

It comes in sizes 1x - 2x and is made of a polyester spandex blend.The faux tuxedo top is only $29.99. The satin sheen gives it a dressy appearance but I would so dress it down with jeans and knee high boots.***Topic Links* Get your own Tuxedo top from Belle Avenue*

I'm away all week but didn't want to leave you hanging. So for the whole week I'm going to feature some of my favorite items from plus size clothing retailer Belle Avenue. They are located in LA and carry one of a kind clothing from local designers at extremely affordable prices.First up this week is this cute dress. I bet you're not too suprised about the polka dots. This cotton dress with a

No not the ice cream!I received Igigi's newsletter today in which it announced the return of the Neapolitan dress. This dress can make anyone proud of their body. It looks great with or without the shrug and the splash of pink is so hot on the crossover top.This colour block dress comes in sizes 12 - 32. It is made of stretch viscose jersey and has bra friendly straps (click on link to see

I'm not a "short" person. Never have been. It probably has something to do with the pantie shorts I was forced to wear in gym class in highschool (back when gym was a requirement for graduations).I do however love capri pants, short pants, crop pants, whatever you want to call them. And being tall, I think I can pull them off. Now I'm not talking about long shorts. Yuk! The ones I like are

Does the heat make anyone else tired. I just want to curl up on my desk and snooze. Wouldn't be prudent so I went shopping instead.I found this great skirt at Zaftique's plus size clothing store. There's something Spanish about it. Or maybe Catherine Zeta Jones-ish from Zorro. A little Flamenco anyone? I love the layers and ruffles. Since they seem to be in for tops why not extend them to

We have had a little break in the humidity but I'm still on a flowing dress wave. When I was updating a dress lens at Squidoo I came across this lovely dress at plus size clothing giant, Lane Bryant.The Floral Print Burnout Dress dresses up the basic black dress with an irregular pattern that isn't disarming to the eyes and the black lines at the bust are flattering, drawing up the interest.

I really hate shops that have skinny models that don't even look like they are a size 8. Jessica London is one such online store.They offer plus size clothing in sizes 14 - 34 (that's a huge size range considering what a lot of other stores are offering) but all the models look like one small size. I guess I shouldn't start with such a negative tone and then show you a favorite item but I think

I'm not a cluber or clubee but I do like a what are considered club clothes. More and more retailers are starting to carry these kinds of styles which I guess are essentially sexier and more revealing than the standards.I was introduced to a new shop on the weekend that has some great potential. It's called Hot Niniz and they carry regular and plus size up to 3x. Here are three of my favorite

Plus size clothing retailer Alight has a lot of funky tops this season. A lot of funky/scary tops with patterns you couldn't even imagine. It was fun just to go and see all the pretty colors. My eyes seemed particular drawn to these two Bandana pattern tops.Bad In Bandana Top - is an Alight exclusive and comes in sizes 1x - 4x for $39.

I was feeling a little bit gothic so thought I would hang out at Torrid today. I was expecting to find some cute top or funky pants and instead I found gitch. That's right, underwear. Is it possible to have too much underwear/panties? I don't think so.These plus size panties are made from organic cotton; as you probably know I quite enjoy. The butterfly on the front reminded me of Drew

I'm a huge fan of the movie Gladiator and the television series Rome so it's no surprise that I have a penchant for gladiator sandals. They are so hot. But not all are created equal. When I was at the hairdresser flipping through mags I came across a beautiful pair of suede gladiator shoes by Mogil for $110. I have not for the life of me been able to find them online anywhere.

I went to Ashley Stewart to check out their new Butteryfly Bra (see link below) and ended up finding today's favorite find. Two of them. I wasn't intentionally looking for an outfit but I think these two pieces would look quite nice together. I almost bought them but they don't ship outside the US.

Retro and handmade clothing are both raves right now. Here's a retro looking skirt handmade with love by Hannah.The fruit striped skirt is $52 and is available in sizes x-small - 3X. This style comes in a number other patterns but this was was my favorite. There's a lot going on without it being obscene.

I'm really on a big reusable bag rant lately. And no it's not just because I created a eco-bag lens. I've always loved these types of bags but I've found I have a heightened craving for them lately. Which brings me to Baggu.Baggu offers reusable nylon bags in an fun array of solid colors or stripes (thank you to green thinking for letting me know about them).

It's 13 degrees Celsius this afternoon (3 last night). But I am not going to complain. It will be humid before I know it. Instead I decided to oggle some sweaters over at Roamans. I'm having trouble just picking one these days. Today I found two unique looking sweaters.Asia's crochet tunic - Dark olive is pictured but it also comes in chocolate, blue, wild rose and oatmeal.

I love this eco-friendly bag from Simple. I want it, want it, want it. My Gap satchel is wearing out and I need a replacement. I'm seriously thinking this one is it.It has a cotton canvas body and is lined with cotton corduroy. The dimensions are 3.75" W x 3.25" D x 12" H which is pretty close to my Gap bag.

I can spend all day looking at the different designs of t-shirts at CafePress. And luckily they introduced a plus size line of Tees last year. Hopefully they'll expand it to all their t-shirts, hoodies etc.This is one of my favorite tees. A - because it has a cute stick drawing. B - because the stick drawing is doing the warrior pose (one of my favorites). And C - because she has a funky hair-do

The latest Junonia catalogue arrived today. Don't you just love a new catalogue. The expectation of finding something new. I grew up with the Sears catalogue which was a big event in our house. It meant shopping!I curled up in my chair with it and a glass of water. Quite a few of the items I recognized from previous issues which is always disappointing but if Junonia is anything it is reliable.

It's a bit cold outside so I decided to look for a sweater at Old Navy. They have a 50% off sale on at the moment.I found this Tie Front Crop Sweater (561072). Cozy but not heat flash causing. It comes in black and fig pudding (I know! I want a job naming colors) and is made of 100% cotton. It's available in sizes 1 x - 4 x for $29.50.***Topic Links* Get your own Front Crop Sweater from Old Navy*

This bag reminds me of the rocking tattoo that I'm too chicken to get.This Ed Hardy Romy Large Tote is on sale for $220 (regular $250) It's fully lined and actually has a completely different image on the other side.
