Image via Wikipedia I don’t remember when or how this book came into my hands – while it doesn’t look like the sort of thing I’d buy wandering through a bookstore, I’ve been known to surprise myself. It’s a good read, and surprisingly light for nonfiction. Along with talking about girl’s bodies from corsetry to... »
I noticed that MXM has introduced these characters as a way of introducing their clothing lines: “Work” “Chill” and “Club.” While I’m kind of amused at the replacement of “Casual” with “Chill” I’m more curious about opting for creating acharacter – or possibly, drawing over an actual model with a character – that... »
Like last summer, 2008 fall isn’t offering up a whole lot of changes. The same looks, a few variations. I’ve also noticed that the insistence on splashy and obnoxious prints has leeched its way into fall lines, and I’m doing my darnedest to ignore them. Even so, I don’t mind a good classic,... »
From indie seller Bodacious Boutique, these jeans caught my attention. I like the slight flare and the higher-waist, although I couldn’t tell from the image if these range into mom-jean territory or if they are simply a bit higher waisted than the hip riders we’ve been beset with since 2001.

I’ve known about Zaftique since I’ve known about Google – do you remember back in the day when they tried that catalog experiment? I found Zaftique online, and meant to try it, but I was in college, struggling with maxing out credit cards to buy books. To this day,... »
I love fall, especially when fall brings with it the welcome reintroduction of rich neutrals that are so much more than those summer khakis – lightweights! I was taken especially with these two tops – the diamond-print shell looks almost but not quite snakeskin, giving me a satisfying compromise on my anti-animal prints... »
Alas, I can’t really download any photos, but this Italian designer creates for plus sizes. Every piece I’ve looked at it is chic and gorgeous, and I desperately want to see more of these pieces Stateside! Share on Facebook »
I have to admit that this revision of the bubble dress for a plus size does kind of work, assuming your hips would still work with the proportions of this dress (some will, some won’t.) It still takes the empire waist, but adds some nice ruching/detailing at the waist that keeps it from... »
Regular commenter Jillithian has mentioned to me a couple times a distaste for the swing jacket1 as have a few other people in other plus forums. While I’ve never liked them for reasons based on comfort – it just adds additional restriction to arm movement that I just don’t enjoy – the perspective... »
