Vintage Style for Modern Women at IGIGI

Posted by Sarah on September 10th, 2008

There’s something so special about a vintage style dress. It feels glamorous, sexy, and classic – like part of another time. And the new autumn collection at IGIGI is all about vintage shapes and geometric patterns – very mod, very trendy, and very flattering. These dresses are simply gorgeous. And though I generally list off a couple of my favorite items from every sale here on the blog, it’s going to be hard for me to do that this time… because I’m in love with almost every piece in this collection.

So I’ll just talk about the ones I want to buy myself! Obviously, I can’t buy a few pieces from every sale or new collection I blog about… but I won’t be able to resist this time. I’m picking up the Sophie Colorblock Dress in Winterberries and the classic Sweetheart Dress in Black.

Sometimes, you just know better than to resist.

Suit Up and Get Stylish for Work

Posted by Sarah on September 9th, 2008

The days are cooling off, the parties are winding down, and it’s time to think about getting back to real life. Fortunately, “getting back to real life” doesn’t always have to be painful… some of it is a lot of fun! Like shopping for new work clothes to wear to the office.

Looking for some new skirts and suits to wear in autumn and winter? They have some great ones just in at OneStopPlus. Work wear doesn’t always have to be boring and function – and their “Wear to Work” collection proves it. I’m loving the oh-so-sexy black and white Polka-dot Top Dress with high-waisted styling. And the super cute Double-Breasted Knit Blazer will be great both at the office and on the weekend – I’m imagining it now with a pair of dark denim jeans… too cute.

Back to School Fashion at Torrid

Posted by Sarah on September 8th, 2008

Hear that bell ringing in the distance? Yep, it’s that time of year again… summer is just about over and it’s time to get back to school (and work!).  And whether you’re shopping for yourself or for your teenage daughter, you know that stocking up to go back to school (or back to work) can be a real drain on your bank account. But not when everything is on sale! Torrid has tons of adorable plus sized clothes and trendy accessories on sale.

I’ve been buying tons of purple to stock up for autumn (I love it and it’s supposed to be an on-trend color this season), and so am in love with the Purple Serina Peeptoe Flats. Just think how cute they’ll look when I’m carrying around this Colormix Clutch Bag.

Get Some Fresh Looks for Fall

Posted by Sarah on August 27th, 2008

Autumn is coming and it’s time to start vamping up your cool-weather wardrobe. And there’s no better place to do it than at IGIGI. Because at their online store, they have a ton of just-in Autumn styles that will make you feel perfectly happy to banish the sun and surf until next year.

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

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?”

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

Posted by Sarah on July 29th, 2008

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.

Gorgeous New Gowns at IGIGI

Posted by Sarah on July 16th, 2008

Just in at IGIGI: incredibly beautiful new summer dresses and gowns that you can’t help but drool over.  At least, you won’t be able to help it if you’re anything like me. From sexy tea-length dresses perfect for an evening wedding to the flirty maxi dress in tropical shades that just begs to be worn to the beach, all of these are just beauties.

I already had my eye on a striking blue dress for my cousin’s wedding, I may just give in and buy this Lace Dress in Black and Ivory. I don’t like my cousin all that much, and love the idea of outshining her in such a sexy dress. Does that make me a bad person?

Just one more thing… if you have a special party and need that gorgeous dress in time for the weekend, IGIGI now offers Saturday delivery for an extra fee. Hey, sometimes you need to look gorgeous right away.
