Swing Into the Cooler Weather With Style

Posted by Sarah on September 4th, 2008 | Leave a Comment

As the seasons change and the weather gets cooler, my eyes move over from the gorgeous plus size swimwear we’ve seen this summer, to items which will help us all keep warm and cozy this Fall and coming Winter.

Jackets and blazers now invade practically every apparel store around, and we cannot expect any less from plus size focused clothing stores.

OneStopPlus carry an extensive selection of plus size jackets and blazers from all of our favorite brands. One particular item which caught my attention was the textured denim swing jacket from Avenue. A crooped piece, it is just beautiful, and very versatile. Perfect from these warm into cool weather days. Plus, at $49.95 it’s pretty much within budget.

However, good thing that I spotted this one now, as I can actually buy it for a cheaper price! OneStopPlus are in fact letting all their customters take 25% off their favorite item, only if they shop until Tuesday 9th September, and use coupon code WW26511 upon checkout. I definitely know what I’m going to purchase this weekend, and yeay it will be discounted too!

Boo! Thinking Yet About Halloween?

Posted by Sarah on August 29th, 2008 | Leave a Comment

Sure, Halloween is still a couple of months off, but just like at Christmas, all the good stuff goes early. So if you really want to make an impression come October, it’s time to start shopping – or at least taking a peek to see what you want to be this year. And how sexy.

Even if you don’t plan on handing out Halloween candy come October 31, a cute little costume may inspire you to give out some treats – even if the ones you’re handing out are best given in private. I don’t think any man can resist a woman dressed in this super sexy Flight Attendant Costume… whether at a Halloween party or just at home for a little “fun”.  And don’t forget to wear something very sexy underneath… even if it’s just to make you feel great.

The Top Selling Swimsuits of 2008!

Posted by Sarah on August 28th, 2008 | Leave a Comment

Some of us are a little gun-shy when it comes time to buy a swimsuit. Sure, it looks good on the model, but will it flatter our shape and keep everything in its place? No matter how much you like it, there’s always that nagging doubt that you’re taking a risk when you buy a new suit.

Well, get rid of the risk and buy one of SwimsuitsForAll’s bestselling plus size swimsuits of 2008. These suits suits tried and tested by curvy women like you – swimsuits which were so pretty and flattering that word of mouth alone shot them to the top of the sales list. Hey, ending up with a great suit is pretty easy if you let thousands of other full figured women recommend it to you before you buy.

Among the list of bestsellers is my favorite, the South Beach Border Liz Claiborne Tankini. I know I’ve mentioned this suit before, and have to admit that I did give in and buy it (and though I didn’t pay full price, it wasn’t as cheap as it is now, marked down from $112 to just $69). And I can tell you that this adorable little suit looks as good (okay, almost as good) on me as on the model.

Does Yellow Make You Yell?

Posted by Sarah on August 27th, 2008 | Leave a Comment

Yellow is a great color, and has been one of my favorites this season in fact. It’s fun, fresh, bright and very Summery. However yellow is not a straightforward color. Matching up your skin tone with the wrong shade of yellow can break your outfit, resulting in you looking a bit dull. Not exactly the look you would be looking for right?

To wear yellow the right way you need to learn which shades suit your skin tone most, and you also need to learn what to match it up with. Check out our latest plus size fashion tips article to read our 5 easy peasy steps to making sure you look great in yellow.

My favorite piece in IGIGI’s new autumn collection? The Bridgette Mod Dress in black, grey, and red. The boat neckline is so flattering and pretty, and the soft vertical red stripe is wonderfully slimming.  Just too cool and pretty.

Adorable New Dresses Just in at Torrid

Posted by Sarah on August 26th, 2008 | Leave a Comment

Okay, I’m going to risk sounding like a broken record here and say… I love when the seasons change! Autumn isn’t even here yet, and the new styles coming in at all the stores are making me ache for cooler weather – so I can wear some of autumn’s cutest new trends. Case in point? Torrid’s just-arrived Black and Purple Plaid Chiffon Secretary Dress with the flattering high-waisted skirt and oh-so-sexy silhouette.  Must… have… it…

Plus, Torrid in now accepting Paypal for payment! And while for some the major appeal is that you can feel your purchases are super secure, for others (like me!) it’s all in the secrecy. Because if you have a little Paypal money sitting around from selling all your old “Heart” tapes on eBay, you can spend as much of it as you like on super cute clothes, and no one who shares your bank account need be the wiser…

Just practice saying it with me: “What? This old thing?”

Psst! Want to Take Part in a Secret Sale?

Posted by Sarah on August 25th, 2008 | Leave a Comment

At SwimsuitsForAll, they usually shout about their sales from the rooftops. With thousands of swimsuit styles, they want everybody to know when they have a deal going on.

This sale is a little different… because it’s a secret.  Until August 31st, you can take 10% off your order, choosing from items throughout their entire online store. How do you get your 10%?  Just use the coupon code “PRIVATESALE” at checkout. But use it wisely… and only tell who you have to. (Just kidding!)

If there’s a particular item you’ve been eyeing that just refuses to go on clearance (like this ridiculously cute Mod Squad Two-Piece Plus Size Bikini), now is the time to go for it!

That Magic Word Again: Summer "Liquidation" at OneStopPlus

Posted by Sarah on August 15th, 2008 | Leave a Comment

Ah, I love the end of the season. You start looking forward to the changing weather and new styles… and you also get to play the vulture and fill your closet with tons of great items at rock-bottom prices. In short… I just love a liquidation sale.

If you’re the same (hey, and who’s not??), it’s time to head over to OneStopPlus, where their “Final Cut” summer liquidation sale is just beginning. There are discounts on hundreds of items all the way up to 75% off. It not really shopping, but… well… it’s sort of stealing. But legal!

Case in point? The sweet and yellow Printed Scoopneck Dress with pretty flutter sleeves for just $17.99. Like with any liquidation, all the best stuff flies off the shelves, so it’s best to shop early. Good luck!

A New Spin on the Age Old Model Contest

Posted by Sarah on August 14th, 2008 | Leave a Comment

One of my favorite plus size clothing labels, Missphit, has just launched the “Clothes Gone Wrong” plus size model contest.

This is a contest with a twist, because unlike practically all other model contests, you do not need to be a beauty queen to win! In fact this contest is seeking photo submissions of your worst fitting clothes, for a chance to win a wardrobe makeover and become a Missphit top model.

I think this is such a great idea from Missphit’s part, and I am sure the lucky winner will have an absolute blast with the makeover, and with the whole experience of becoming a Missphit top model! I’m very excited to see how this contest will progress over the coming weeks, and I am even more honored to be part of it by being one of the judges.

Here are the nitty gritty details from Missphit themselves on the contest, and what you need to do to get involved:

Style conscious plus-size women struggle constantly to find clothes that not only look great, but fit their body shapes in all the right places. According to a recent Cotton Incorporated Lifestyle Monitor™ survey, 21% of female respondents reported wearing a size 15 or greater yet 70% of these women stated they couldn’t find clothing they liked in their size. Known for their detail oriented focus on both fit and trendy styles, Missphit is acknowledging this frustration by offering a chance to replace tired duds with fresh new looks that flatter their fuller figures.

Starting this month and continuing bi-monthly for the rest of the year, Missphit will begin seeking photo submissions from frustrated fashionistas showing off their worst fitting outfit for a chance to win $200 worth of free Missphit clothing and an opportunity to bask in the spotlight. Winners of the bi-monthly contests will be awarded a mini wardrobe makeover and be featured on the Missphit Web site with “before” and “after” pictures to show their transformation.

In addition, contest winners will be entered for consideration to become the next Missphit Top Model. The grand finale winner will be flown to Los Angeles for a complete makeover and fashion shoot to be featured as Missphit’s new Top Model. For more information about the contest, please visit Missphit.com.
