…Is probably not gold, but that doesn’t mean you can’t sparkle! It isn’t so much about what you’re wearing, but rather how you feel. Sometimes that feeling shines through because of what you’re wearing. And that is the confidence we need in order to kick off 2012!

I don’t usually wear anything gold or pink. In fact, I don’t like pink at all, but this is a new year ready for a few new items. My plus size outfit and jewelry is all inspired by the things I’ve never tried, and about looking forward to all the new beginnings that 2012 will bring us! What are a few new things that you’ll be trying?

Happy fresh start! Happy New Year!

It took only one story from the infamous Black Friday sales day to send me running. “An employee loses her life to a stampede of greedy shoppers,” is not my kind of tag-line. So I have traded in my warm frocks from the long-lines of saving to become a tea and slippers kind of shopper! Let the online shopping begin…

Avenue & Lane Bryant Plus Size Shops have everything 50% off! Top that off with free shipping and I’d say you are set!

Well, until you the Jessica London website that is. Still looking for that perfect plus size winter coat? $50 off will help out!

All of our favorite plus size stores are having killer sales this black friday. You can see all the sales at Plus Size Steals!

Enjoy!

Miss Piggy storms the world of fashion in the latest Muppets Movie as the stylish plus size editor for VOGUE Magazine. Is this just another tale of the puppets, or a foreseeable future for our own kind? Hm…

A gal can always dream! Until then, I’ll just have to use VOGUE for a little high fashion inspiration. Just in time to pick up plus size pieces at an exceptional price.

Lane Bryant has their entire plus size collection 50% off!!! All of a sudden making this mod coat much more appealing. :]

Every winter wardrobe needs a bootie!

I’ll be enjoying my “Black Friday” indoors, with hot chocolate and plus size sales online. I hope you’ll join me!

Black Friday is quickly approaching!  It’s time to start creating a bargain game plan.  Black Friday gets bigger and better each season as retailers look to make their profits for the entire year during the Christmas shopping period.  Preparation is the single most important thing you can do to ensure you come away with the best deals.  I go all out with this (excel spreadsheets, clippings and bookmarking of circular leaks online) as this is truly my Christmas shopping blueprint.  Here’s my personal list so far, the plus size clothing sales are plentiful which is awesome!

That’s exactly what Adele is. Last time we featured Adele’s shots from her VOGUE cover, the magazine had chopped her beautiful body out of the story. ::shakes finger:: 

I was ecstatic to see Adele on the cover of Cosmopolitan’s December 2011 issue! And it wasn’t just her head this time…

Adele is making this cover sizzle! We love her dress especially, but I for one wouldn’t get close to a Dolce & Gabbana rack. So I found another sexy version of this dress–at a killer price!

Use this coupon for any of Torrid’s plus size clothing and take even more off their holiday sales!

Happy finds!

I’ll admit, I’m all “little black dress” when it comes to a night out. This holiday, we’re going to spice it up together! Let’s go find that perfect plus size party dress for the holidays…

You’re sure to demand attention in these red ruffles!

Number one tip this season: stop being afraid! White and other lights are fashion faux pas forget-me-nots! There is no Labor Day rule any longer ladies. Just be careful around the red wine…

 Ta-da! Last and best of all, this rose sheath dress will make you the sexy siren at any soiree. This plus size holiday dress is amazingly inexpensive, and to top it off – use my favorite OneStopPlus.com coupon to take 40% off that!

I hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving! And even more importantly…I hope everyone found some great Black Friday bargains. I know I sure did.

All Fall, I have had my heart set on a new leather jacket, and I decided that it was an investment piece, so I was willing to pay a pretty penny for it.

After all the searching, I found the perfect jacket at New York & Co. AND it was on sale, so that makes everything 100x better.

While the the jacket is faux leather, it looks and feels real, so PETA would be proud.

Here is a picture:

Ever since I worked for Kelly Cutrone, her style has definitely rubbed off on me. I used to need all my clothes to be frilly and girly, but not anymore. I like mixing the two styles, and this plus size leather motorcycle jacket can definitely add edge to any outfit. I love the hardware on the jacket.

When I first bought the jacket, I didn’t even realize that the sleeves can zip off to make a vest! HOW COOL! Now I have something to wear, when I want to channel my inner Hell’s Angel. Sometimes clothes that turn into different pieces can look cheap, but the zippers are very well hidden.

When I took off the sleeves, I kept trying to put them back on for 30 mins, and then I realized I had been putting the wrong sleeve on each arm…I am so smart.

It’s the hugest, silliest and craziest shopping day of the year and it’s almost here.  This time of year is exciting & thoroughly exhausting all at the same time.  There will be aisles jammed with steal mongers and long lines leading to department stores’ cash registers to purchase those once a year bargains.  Follow our top 5 survival tips for Black Friday shopping (you’re going to need this):

1. Catalog and web plus size retailers (such as Woman Within and Roamans) do pay attention to both Black Friday and Cyber Monday, so that usually means a whole weekend of great deals on plus size apparel.  Watch for some amazing coupons as our insiders say this Black Friday will be spectacular!  Visit Plus Size Steals for sale announcements.
2. Avoid midnight department shopping.  Stores love to use sales starting at midnight as marketing stunts but often times those sales disappoint.  We want to make sure we have a good night’s rest for early morning shopping.
3. Have a game-plan.  Start by mapping out the store the day before Thanksgiving.  Let’s say you’re looking for a limited stock 45 inch TV- it’ll be useful to know where the electronics department lives.
4. Create a ‘grocery list’ of items that you’re targeting.  Having a hand written list is always helpful with time management.
5. Bring friends.  Shopping is a social experience so why not enjoy it with friends?  Besides, you’ll need someone to complain to about the pushy people and long lines!

Follow these tips and you’ll have a clear advantage this Black Friday.
