Avenue.com just released its latest lingerie line in anticipation of Valentine’s Day, and I’ve got to say, this year’s selection is worthy of anticipation. There’s some original takes on the old classic of seduction - brocade corsets, flirty skirts - and some designed purely for a woman’s personal indulgence.

The standout piece of the collection is [...]

The above design from Balenciaga has been everywhere - repeated across blogs and magazines for months now. I can only assume that people are repeating it because they like it, and while the sandals fascinate me, I can’t help but look at the general silhouette and suspect that once the big name stores that ignore [...]

I almost feel like I don’t need to comment on this one from Curvy Girl Clothing.  I know some of you will love this, and might even be looking for exactly this. You know who you are.

I love Queen Latifah, but I’ve spent surprisingly little time looking at her clothing line, Curvation. This is partly because it is usually light years beyond my budget, but also because her urban style is very L.A. glam and my urban style is very Minneapolis “did I get road salt on that?” Still, I would [...]

I was actually stunned at the selection of belts available at Coldwater Creek, particularly since they allow for sizing up to 22W/a 42 inch waist. From slung hip to just a plain, practical belt, they have the selection  - usually in leather.

There’s some very cool choices here, and I was pleasantly surprised. The belts are [...]

The big news for Lane Bryant shoppers is that Lane Bryant has extended its sizing up to 30/32. I’m not sure how many people this opens up new clothing options for, but I’m glad to see L.B. recognizing that its competitors were quietly nailing them on this particular hidden market.
For reference, Lane Bryant is defining [...]
