Think You Can't Wear a Bubble Dress? Think Again!

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

Bubble dresses. You know the ones. They look super cute on those girls with the approximate size and shape of a stick, and terrible on anybody with a pair of, you know… hips. You like to follow trends, but… why would you torture yourself by putting on a dress with a hemline that only puffs everything out and clings in all the wrong places?

I just visited IGIGI, and lo and behold… they actually make bubble dresses that flatter women with a curvier shape!  Just in at the website is a selection of very trendy (by still very flattering) bubble-hemmed dresses. My favorite? The jewel-toned green jade bubble dress. So pretty. So feminine. So in my shopping cart.

Finally! Just because I’m not Miss Twiggy doesn’t mean I can’t follow this trend.

When you’re not in the mood for a skirt, capri pants are the perfect compromise. They offer the coverage and convenience of pants, but are cool and comfy for summer. You can dress them up with a pair of pretty heels and a nice blouse, or dress them down with some flip flops and a tank. And even though I already own several pairs, I think I might have to buy another… because at SWAK Designs, their cutest, most versatile, totally functional capri pants are on special!

Normally $32.99, you can get $10 off these super cute, super flattering little pants for a limited time. Just use coupon code PCNA3333 at checkout, and you’re ready to go! I like them in black, as I’ll be able to dress them up for the evening or wear them to work, or go black and white with bright accessories (very in right now!) during the day. They’re also available in khaki. Check them out now, while they still have all sizes in stock!

Deep Summer Discounts at IGIGI

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

There’s something so wonderfully freeing about summer. The kids are out of school, the sun is shining, and late night parties and fun beckon you out of the house. There’s nothing quite like standing in a sea breeze with a floaty skirt fluttering around your calves.

Yes, I am leading this towards clothes. How could I not? The skirt I’m specifically referring to is that of the new Tropical Heat Halter Dress from IGIGI. This gorgeous dress in a fun tribal print follows all of the summer’s biggest trends. Plus it’s gorgeously flattering, totally feminine, and due to the marvel of Internet shopping, unmarked by my drool (if it were in a department store, it would be a different story – as is, my “I want it” drool is limited to my keyboard).

This dress is my favorite, but a ton of new summer dresses have just arrived at IGIGI. Or, if you’re looking to save money but still look utterly gorgeous, their summer clearance has been deepened to up to 70% and there’s still lots of great stuff left!

Tailored Chic and Sexy Plus Size Trends

Posted by Sarah on July 24th, 2008 | Leave a Comment

You’re going to love Torrid’s new collection of tailored, sexy, and oh-so-trendy items. Called An American Girl in Paris, this collection is just what it sounds: casual, sophisticated, and “what? This old thing?” sexy.

The biggest features of this collection are nautical themed patterns, fun accessories, and clean, elegant lines. It’s one of those collections where everything in it goes well with everything else – and all of it is gorgeous. My only problem is that I can’t decide between the little red bolero and the more understated denim one. I didn’t even know I liked boleros until I saw this collection! Maybe I should get them both… they’ll both look great with the Navy Blue and White Nautical Boho bag!

Go check it out. You don’t need to own a yacht to look, well… yacht-hot. (Sorry. Bad joke.)

Summer's Sexy Must-Haves

Posted by Sarah on July 23rd, 2008 | Leave a Comment

We all have different shapes and tastes and ideas about what flatters us. But there are some items that flatter every shape, and look amazing on just about everybody. These are those “fashion essentials” that no woman can go without – no matter her shape.

Fashion Essential 1:
A simple v-neck dress in a striking color. I love Kiyonna’s Lola Ruched Dress in Plum.

Fashion Essential 2:
A sexy and versatile wrap top, like the Short Sleeve Sophisticate Wrap Blouse in simple white.

Fashion Essential 3:
A special shape-flattering blouse, such as the Kelli Asymmetrical Top with ruched draping at the bust that really brings out an hourglass shape.

And don’t forget that Kiyonna’s summer sale is still going strong! They’re adding great new items to their sale selection all the time, so keep checking back. The best stuff disappears quickly, so you’ve got to be fast!

Ridiculously Cute & Cheap Plus Size Swimsuits

Posted by Sarah on July 22nd, 2008 | Leave a Comment

I hope you have a little time between now and August 1, because you’re going to want to set some aside to do some shopping at SwimsuitsForAll. Why? Not just because they have some of the most ridiculously cute plus size swimsuits on the net. But also because they’re ridiculously cheap.

Right now, they have lots of new arrivals on sale, marked waaaay below department store prices. They’ve also deepened their summer swimsuit clearance, with some of their cutest suits now available for incredibly little. I mean, their black and berry swirl plus sized tankini is $22. No, that’s not a typo. A quality plus sized swimsuit for $22. Crazy.

And that’s not even the biggest thing.  Because until August 1, they also have a buy one, get the second 50% off promotion. Just use the coupon code “HALF” to get two swimsuits for less than you might expect to pay for one. Everyone likes variety!

Need to go Formal? Do it Cheaper with Sydney's Closet!

Posted by Sarah on July 21st, 2008 | Leave a Comment

Sydney’s Closet has just announced their huge summer dress sale! And while they do have some sweet and casual summer dresses available, I think the most drool-worthy part of the sale is their selection of deeply reduced formal dresses. If you’re lucky enough to be invited to the sort of “got to dress up”, you’re definitely going to want to take a look. Or shopping for a bridemaid’s dress for an upcoming wedding? These gorgeous plus size gowns definitely fit the bill.

I’m aching to buy the Sheer Delight tea-length gown in deep red with black accents. Now… am I allowed to buy it if I have nowhere to wear it yet? After all, who knows when I’ll be invited to an elegant, star-studded event!

Also, for a limited time, you can get free shipping on your dress order from Sydney’s Closet with discount code “HOT08.”
