Plaid Fiction!

16 Nov 2011

Hey, good news! You don’t have to be a lumberjack or Kurt Cobain to get away with plaid. In fact, plaid flannel is floating its way over the plus size runways this fashion season.

With mega sales about to let loose, we’re gonna do this thing right!

Jessica London Plus Size Plaid Coat (BLACK PLAID,20)

 Plaid doesn’t have to be that boring ole’ flannel shirt you crab crawl into when the skies are gray. Think bold! Your style should reflect your stunning personality, and I know you’ve got bold stamped all over you!

Plaid especially stands out when contrasted with a solid color…like red! Blue is my personal favorite.

So here’s the scoop. November is a huge month for you! All of the best plus size clothing stores are bursting with sales. And since Plus Size Steals only wants you smiling – I’m sharing my favorite plus size coupon with you!

Happy shopping, loves.

Remember the last winter style blog? I was whining about how Winter turns me into a Yeti…

Even though I yearn for 24-hour snowveralls, I can’t help but love the cozyness of plus size winter wear. With the infamous Black Friday creeping towards us, that means mega sales from the best plus size clothing stores!

I’m here to help you weed out the “do’s” from the “don’ts” when you tumble through those sales.

Roamans Plus Size Wool Military Coat (BLACK,14 W)

A fitted wool coat is the best way to show off your curves this season. Combine that with a military flare, and you’ll be sporting one of this season’s hottest plus size styles!

DON’T: I don’t care how much you loved 1996, marshmallow coats must stay away from fingertips!

Roamans Plus Size Convertible Mittens

Speaking of fingertips. Finger-less gloves are functional and sometimes funky enough to be an official fashion accessory. Still keeping you warm when it’s most important!

DON’T: Step out with nothing covering the lady legs. Even if you think they’re your best asset. You’ll just look insane when it’s 20 degrees outside and you’re half dressed. Get some cute tights!

Avenue Plus Size Jackie Stretch Riding Boot

Snug wide-calf boots are a must this Winter! Great way to accentuate the shape of your calves while protecting them from chihuahuas. DON’T: Wear your yap-yap. Fur boots are a no-no for your feet.

Alright, get those shoes-a-shufflin’

It has recently been told that Mister Marc Jacobs himself, is popping up with a plus size fashion line. In the midst of Fall shopping, I automatically went into a day dream comatose when I heard the word. My fandom crossed all sorts of double yellow lines. I saw myself stooped outside his New York doorstep. Hot chocolate in one hand. My life savings in the other. All the while freezing to death as I wait for the gem of all winter dream coats.

Then I slapped myself out of it.

See…there are some “knock em’ dead” trends for every season. Then there are the necessities. Then there is…thee coat!

If done correctly, your Fall-Winter coat is that swirl of frosting on top of one perfect outfit. Like being wrapped in a warm, fuzzy cloud, with delicious written all over it.

As much as I would fully commit to saving myself for anything plus size from Marc Jacobs…I think it’s wise to pick up a cozy new coat for the chills to come. Plus, there are some seriously funky and fun coat trends this season!

Let’s see what I found! ;]

Faux Leather Military Jacket - Women's/Java - Size 20W

Leather! This Fall, it is the hottest trend among jackets and coats. Definitely turning heads. Especially when worn the right way! Wear it right above your hips, to make those curves pop. Or wear it long. Think leather trench coat. Any plus size jacket can be worn at mid-hip length. As long as the coat tapers at your waist, still defining your shape.

Avenue Plus Size Quilt Jacket with Removable Hood (RED,14/16)

Bold colors have made their entrance, and I have yet to see a bon voyage on the horizon. Just make sure to sport colors that flatter your skin tone, and your mood!

Jessica London Plus Size Denim Military Jacket (BLACK,16 W)

At ease, miss!

Every year military jackets are hot, hot, hot. This run around, you are bound to ditch the soldier, and just run away with the coat. 

The long. The mod. And neutral enough for every outfit…ta da! My favorite coat this year!

A must have!

Somewhere between trench coat, and jacket. This plus size coat rides the lines. It’s ready for any occasion, and just looks so cozy!
Woman to woman. No way could I have afforded this dream coat without this OneStopPlus.com coupon. And no way could I possibly not share it with you ladies!

Mounds of snow + freezing temperatures in NYC= boredom, irritability, more boredom.  Though there is a sudden remedy that we highly recommend.  Get out and shop!

Trend Report: Velvet

06 Nov 2010

Greetings from NYC!

The weather here is lovely today, so I have been out and about running errands. I noticed that velvet is definitely in for the season; everyone seems to be wearing it. I used to think that velvet was only used in vampire movies, but done the right way, velvet can look opulent,  luxurious, and expensive.

Golden rule of velvet: the fabric itself makes the statement, so stay with neutral colored velvet.

Since velvet is such a thick fabric, you want to show some skin to break it up. This plus size tube top is great to wear out during the Winter/Fall.

These plus size velvet leggings started my obsession with the fabric. I saw them at Target and ended up not buying them because I couldnt think of an outfit to wear with them. BIG REGRET. They can add a sense of style to a white t-shirt and boots.

I tried this one in one of my YouTube videos  (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwEB8_P5Qxs).I can say from experience this is a perfect jacket. The length is great because it gives the appearance of a longer torso. The vertical buttons also give you length, as well as, being right on trend with the military style.

Have a good weekend!

I don’t know about you, but I get a lot of ideas about fashion from celebrities. It is hard not to, considering they have access to the best designers, stylists, make up artists, hair dressers etc. In other words, they are SO freakin’ lucky!!!

I know a lot of times I see a size 00 celebrity wear the fiercest outfit, and the first thought that comes to mind is “there is no way I will ever find that in my size or within my budget”. However, I have realized that is not true. It might take a bit of time and research, but there are plus size options out there that rival celebrity designer duds.

I decided that it would be a fun idea to write a weekly post about a celebrity’s style. I figured there was no better way to start off than with Jackie O, the epitome of iconic American fashion.

What makes Jackie O a style icon, wasn’t her use of bold prints and color; instead, she is famous for her muted color palettes and impeccably tailored clothes. She reminds us of the #1 cardinal rule of fashion: fit is everything. Jackie O’s style is marked by sharp neck lines, A-line dresses, minimal accessories, and classic silhouettes.

Get Jackie O’s look in your size for less:

In the Trenches

12 Oct 2010

Every October, I always face the same fashion dilemma…the weather is starting to get a little cooler…I am tired of wear my summer shorts and tanks…all I want to do is bust out cozy sweaters and curl up with hot chocolate. Seriously the second the temperature drops below 80, I am ready to bring out my faux fur coat! Unless I want to die from heat exhaustion, that is probably not the best idea.

So what do you do?

Buy a trench coat!

When I went trench coat shopping, I wanted to hit up Burberry…I mean no one does a better job of keeping trenches trendy! However, unfortunately, my wallet made me skip Burberry, and search high and low for alternatives. It was also challenging to find a cute plus size trench.

I ended up buying this awesome trench from Old Navy! I am kinda obsessed with it.

This jacket is a perfect classic trench!! I was debating on getting black, but I decided to get the traditional khaki color. The front is double breasted with 8 big buttons. It is also the perfect length…it hits mid thigh. It is made of a stuff canvas material, which is great for poppin’ the collar! One of my best purchases this fall!

Oh Classic Plus Size Peacoat… How warm you make me feel in this chilly fall season… How stylish you make me look.  With your nautical inspiration and classic detailing , how could I ever feel less than a million dollars?

Double Button Black Pea Coat

You’re double breasted, which makes you different from anything in my wardrobe.   Your buttons… anchor buttons sewed tightly to the center of your wonderful shape… they complete you.  Your angled pockets practically invite my hands to dig deep.  Love that you’re a plus size coat that is made from different fabrics, including wool, blended wool and fleece.  Colors!  I love you in classic black, cinnamon and other bright colors.

I know to make sure your size fits well around my chest and torso.. depending upon your fit.. ordering a size above my normal size.

With your sleeves slightly long but not too long and just enough extra room to wear a sweater underneath.  You’re roomy enough to accommodate several layers but not being bulky and uncomfortable.  You’re definitely a keeper.  And keep you I will..for many seasons as you’re not a plus size trend that comes and goes.

Here are some favorite plus size pea coats!
