I rule the land of procrastination. The funny thing about procrastinators is that we are not lazy people. We actually are pretty productive, because we will accomplish one-hundred-thirty-eight tasks. As long as none of those tasks are the absolute one thing you must be working on instead.

I kind of lucked out this year, as far as a winter coat is concerned. While it’s snowing in my usual place of residence, Salt Lake City. I’m in Northern California for a couple of months. Very much enjoying this sunshine. Thank you.

Usually, I would be without a warm winter coat until the night before our first falling of snow. Where I would suddenly rush out to purchase a plus size coat or jacket from the bottom of the pile. Ha….Ha. Not this year!

I hit the street of San Francisco to find the perfect plus size coat for when I actually do head back to the snow.

If you’re a last minute Molly like me, you’re in luck! Because we waited so long some of our favorite plus size clothing shops have mega sales going right now! Get your winter coat for half the price!

At Plus Size Steals we want nothing less than happiness and warmth for everyone this winter. Find a coat drive here, and take last year’s model to a coat drive near you! Spreading joy to someone who especially needs it.

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! ;]

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.

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!

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!

Labor Day is a day to celebrate you! A thanks for all the hard work you’ve contributed to this land. Maybe you’re setting up for a barbecue with the family. Enjoying a last summer swim with friends. Maybe you’re simply relaxing.

However you may find pleasure in this 3-day weekend, you deserve it!

We all have guilty pleasures. There is no denying that!

Seeing as I’m home bound these days, getting life in order for a two month train trip all about the West coast. I’ve found a little freedom from thought inside the world of my Netflix queue. Lately, my guilty pleasure has been all wrapped up in this t.v. show called, “Drop Dead Diva.” A very girly, a very silly show, that I wouldn’t normally indulge in. Yet, I am hooked on the main character, “Jane Bingum,” and her style!  A fierce plus size woman, that incorporates classic career wear with eye popping accessories and does it oh, so, very well.

 (Brooke Elliott as “Jane Bingum”)

Jane, like myself, knows a good thing when she sees it. The figure flattering sheath dress in plus sizes, doesn’t fall short of that list. A major must have trend for Fall 2011!  Sheath dresses are made with the hour glass figure in mind, but don’t let that deter you. I just love this dress when paired with a belt, to bring attention to all different shaped waists.

There is one rule in the fashion of our lives. Never say never to something you love! Instead, find a way to tweak it so it works for you, and then flaunt it! Anything is possible with a little creativity.

That’s the fun part with this dress trend. You can take a well cut plus size sheath dress, and either wear it alone, or stir up your look with a neutral jacket or cardigan, an smaller purse,  maybe a clutch. Then  dazzle your way up with a few jewels. Wa-la!

This slimming dress is one of those crucial pieces in any plus size woman’s wardrobe. When you’re feeling classic, you can snatch a vintage clutch and some pearls, keeping it simple! Dinner party, the office, a work function, girl’s night out. I just love how versatile this plus size fashion favorite is! I actually picked up my own sheath dress recently. No way could I resist slipping into it for a few photos. This one’s a keeper!

 I’ve been picking up great fall dresses with these new coupons!

Each season we tirelessly search for that ‘go to’ summer dress. You know exactly what I’m talking about- it’s that comfortable plus size dress that you just can’t live without. The dress must be perfect for the beach, perfect for that romantic picnic under the stars and just about every summer activity in between.

I’m happy to report- we’ve found it!

Check out our video report on the Woman Within Cool Crinkled Textured Dress.  We love it because it’s easy to wear and comes in a variety of colors.

While it still may feel a little chilly outside, the temperatures are warming up so we thought it would be fun to talk about our warmer weather favorite plus size t-shirts. Have a favorite tee? I know you do because we can’t live without them. Let’s see there are.. short sleeves, long sleeves, 3/4 sleeves, polos, tank tops, v-necks and oh yes.. let’s not forget t-shirt dresses.  Tees are great as layering pieces or just on their own- it’s up to you to get creative.

When I’m shopping for a tee, there are characteristics that I’m aiming for. How soft is the fabric? How much will it shrink? What’s the length of the tee? And of course, the price tag completes the grocery list of wants.

Softness. We all adore the feel of it. When my skin is comfortably snug inside a cushy white bath robe it’s pure delight. When I’m looking for a plus size t-shirt, I want to feel a high level of softness and comfort. Ever get that itchy feeling when you try on a t-shirt? Push the reject button on that.

If your t-shirt is 100% cotton (which is preferred) it will shrink, as all cotton does simply by washing it in any temperature. Rule of thumb, darker colors- use cold water, brighter colors best to wash in warmer water and for white use hot water. Do a little test- measure the t-shirt before and after washing. You may notice a slight difference at the arm, width and length areas. If you notice too much of a difference then you are the proud owner of a new wash cloth. It happens a lot in my house.

Today, plus size t-shirt lengths vary quite a bit, it hasn’t always been this way. We have even highlighted on video a plus size asymmetrical t-shirt length that is stylishly fashion forward.  Starting at 26 inches all the way down to 32 inches and longer, you’ll find the right length to fit any occasion.  I lean toward the 26 inch length because I don’t mind showing off my “lower” curves.  But plus size tunics are ultimate favorites as well.

T-shirt sales are plentiful.  I’ve noticed stock up and save t-shirt deals occur frequently.  When you see a tee sale, jump on it because you’ll never have enough of the core staple of all wardrobes- the t-shirt.

Last week, I took a trip to the Woman Within corporate office to see their Spring 2011 preview. Was excited to see their new items for the new season.  It was great! They were right on trend with everything that came off the runway. Woman Within is known for their variety of colors. This season is no exception, they have introduced tons of new colors, including.. pastels. Haven’t personally been a big fan of pastels, but I think they make you feel feminine.  I must say..it was nice to see color in general.

Another great addition to the Woman Within spring preview is the accessories. The lightweight scarves are an amazing way to dress up any outfit. The material is soft and colorful, which makes you feel ready for spring.

Video review 1:

I was surprised by all of the white bottoms they had, since plus size women tend to stray away from white.  However, I was excited to see that they were breaking the rules because white is such a great departure from the drab clothing of winter.

Video review 2:

Loved the different shapes, including asymmetrical, of their Spring 2011 plus size line. Tunics are no longer boring, as seen with Woman Within’s trapeze mega tunic, introduced are metals, a pointed hem and of course great colors.

Video review 3:

We’d like to thank Woman Within and their great staff for meeting with us New York. They are extremely knowledgeable when it comes to the plus size woman’s needs. For the fashionable, budget conscious plus size consumer- Woman Within is a top choice. Visit us for Woman Within coupons !

What’s the best way to keep warm and look good in frigid temperatures? I took this question to an expert.. Our friend Jennifer Andrews (who is plus size fab) owns a Bed and Breakfast in upstate New York.”It can get pretty cold in the mountains. While the general rule of thumb is to layer, I prefer warmer classic pieces without the clunk!” says Jennifer.

Jenn’s going to love this..

A recent New York Times article talks about a hot new winter trend- urban ski chic.  The runways are crowded with faux fur, puffy jackets and over sized furry hats.  With its Nordic influences, this elegant (and warm!) trend perfectly suits the plus size woman.  I love the shapes; never boring.  Comment or email us, is this trend plus size fab?

Fun and faux furry.  Check out this plus size bomber jacket at Torrid.com.

These wide calf fur trimmed boots by Comfortview are true to size (even with heavy socks) and are so ski bunny chic.  Durability isn’t an issue with these boots.
