New Year, New Design

Posted by Sarah on January 3rd, 2010 | Leave a Comment

It’s been a while since I last posted on the Plus Size Clothing Scoop. I apologize for leaving everyone hanging like this, especially during the Holiday Season. But I have been busy working on the redesign and restructuring of both Pasazz.net and the Plus Size Clothing Scoop. The first phase of which you are seeing here today.

Before I get into the details however, I sincerely hope you all had a wonderful holiday season, and I wish you all the very best for 2010! Let’s hope this year brings about peace, health, love and happiness for all.

So, back to the redesign point. If you have been following the Scoop and Pasazz.net for a while you might have noticed that although the ‘main’ site (which is the plus size clothing directory) and the blog reside under the same domain (i.e. pasazz.net), and are part of the same ‘umbrella’, they have looked very different! Quite honestly there has not been a very good flow between them, and this is what I have been working to fix over the past few weeks.

I am redesigning both the directory section of Pasazz.net, and the blog section so there is much more consistency. So people landing on Pasazz.net and then clicking on to the blog will not feel like they have jumped into a different site. Instead they will feel like they have jumped into a separate section whithin the same site, which is the way it really is. In fact one major change is the blog logo, which you can see above, and which now follows the design used by the main Pasazz.net logo itself.

So today I am launching the new design on the blog, and over the coming days I will be launching the new design for Pasazz.net, which will be very similar to this design.

I hope everyone finds the new style easy to navigate. Please bear with my while I iron out some last minute hitches, and please leave your feedback in the comments below! Should you run into anything that doesn’t work, a broken link, or anything of the sort, please let me know. Your comments are much appreciated and encouraged.

So tell me, what are you first impressions of the new design?

LadtAtLargeI’ve recently spoken about various plus size clothing options being available at Etsy, and today we’re taking another look at what this super site offers, though this time we’re not talking fashion, we’re talking art. Hat tip to Francesca at Manolo for the Big Girl! for leading us to a great little gem on Esty: LadyAtLarge, a talented artist who “glorifies the full female form” through her artwork. Her work is absolutely beautiful and I definitely recommen you look through it.

I am still in the process of decorating our apartment, and once of these pieces will made a wonderful addition to our decor. Now off to choose this once to purchase. Hmm… decisions, decisions!
