I’m loving the new infusion of adorable pinup, vintage-looking labels in my Gwynnie Bee closet! Cherry Velvet is a great line with fun prints and flattering shapes for plussize girls with a love of pinup looks. This Adele Dress in Mod Dots (GB girls find it here) in this graphic black and white print has an fabulous sweetheart neckline, 3/4 length sleeves and a nipped in waist–with pockets. So cute!
Black and white goes great with a pop of color–these fab melon-orange heels are the perfect color and height. They are INC from Macy’s. Other mod-inspired accessories set off this look and make it fun and flirty. 
If you don’t know about Gwynnie Bee, you should definitely try it out! It ‘s the perfect way to try all sorts of looks without the commitment.
If you follow my blog, you know I love my friend Stephanie’s plussize boutique, vive la femme so much that I’m a hair’s breadth away from moving in and staying there forever and ever. I’m thrilled to share her new YouTube channel where she posts short, adorable videos highlighting looks and styles in her store—and I got to guest host the latest episode!
So without further ado…check out vive la femme TV and watch as I share three great London Times dresses that are on trend for spring!
LucieLu has such adorable and cute tops and dresses, made especially for adorable and cute plussize women. I first discovered LucieLu when I bought a precious little dress at vive la femme, and now I always look forward to adding new pieces to my wardrobe each season!
Also, if you are looking for the perfect shrug–not too bulky…check out LucieLu’s Instant Sleeves…I seriously where my black one twice a week.
In my experience, LucieLu’s dresses, shrugs and cardis run true to size, but you might want to size up on the tops. You can order directly from their website, or see what vive la femme has in stock and try it on.
Can you tell I’m a fan? 🙂
I was overcome with all of the amazing deals in my inbox this morning, and have been shopping up a storm!! So the only thing I can ethically do is share my deals with you! My 3 favorite deals for plussize steals on Black Friday are from Kiyonna, Asos Curve, and Eloquii. Here are just a few picks from their amazing holiday-ready collections.
Kiyonna
No surprises here, right? I’ve been obsessed with Kiyonna since I first slipped into one of their dresses. Order today for Black Friday and you get 30% off orders of $150 or more and free shipping both ways if you enter the code THANKFUL at checkout!!
The Rumor Ruched Dress is one of their newest styles…isn’t this emerald green color DIVINE? And ruching? And sleeves? Perfect for so many holiday events. 🙂
Did you see my sexy librarian post for this Valentina Illusion Dress? It’s AHHHHH-mazing. You will have party-goers drooling into their eggnog if you show up in this dress.
This is another winner from Kiyonna! The Whimsy Wrap Dress comes in this stunning, rich red color that will perfectly complement holiday decor! Everyone who sees you will want to “unwrap” this wrap dress! (Was that inappropriate??? lol)
Asos Curve
Cute, sophisticated, perky and fun…these clothes are for curvy, fashion-forward women who like to play with their wardrobes. Today, receive 20% off everything, even sale items by entering BLACKFRIDAYBONUS at checkout.
I can think of 42 places to wear these adorable Jacquard Print Peg Trousers from Asos Curve! They are a little fancy so you can wear them to parties, happy hour drinks, and to the office. Stick with black on top and bottom, and you’ll look chic and sophisticated! (They come in a royal blue print too!)
This Owl Sweater is so cute! It’s perfect for lounging around the house during the holidays, or for a shopping trip to load up on goodies. Also, consider pairing it with a cute pencil skirt (tuck it in) for a quirkier, playful look. 🙂
I’m completely in love with this Oxblood Peplum Coat! I love how it zips asymmetrically and has the cute flairs at the hip–oh, and it comes with the belt…and it’s on sale! It’s a win, win, win.
This romantic Swing Dress with Lace Applique has me swooning…and dreaming of both The Great Gatsby and Downton Abbey! Holiday wear doesn’t have to be all red and green and metallics. This blush color is so unexpected and fresh…and the black grounds it for the colder months. Pair it with a glittery or velvety shrug for some added warmth.
Eloquii
OMG…did you know that EVERYTHING on their site is 50% off today??? Everything! And free shipping. Just enter FRIDAY50 at checkout and be amazed at the resulting price!
I’ve been lusting after this Python Pencil Skirt from Eloquii for a while now, and imagine how thrilled I was when I saw it on SALE…and with an additional 50% off! I scored this baby for like $19!
This creamy, faux-leather Trapunto Shoulder Bomber Jacket is luxe and fabulous. I don’t know what Trapunto means, but hey…I’m a fan. I would love to see this worn with a simple white Tshirt and some kickass jeans with a statement necklace. Effortless and cool is the name of the game.
And speaking of sexy tough-girl chic, check out this Leather and Lace Sheath Dress. So sexy!
I totally own this Faux Leather Pencil Skirt. It is to-die-for! It is understated enough to wear to the office, but unexpected enough to leave people guessing what you’ll be doing after you leave the office. 😉
Those are my Black Friday picks for full-figured and fabulous women! I’m sure there are tons of other deals going on, so write them in the comment box! Happy shopping!!!
If you know me, you know that I don’t do things half way…and I simply adore a good theme party!! So…I was thrilled when two of my awesome friends got married last month, with an Art Deco theme. Art Deco is all about glamour, metallics, and linear symmetry…and it shows up in everything from the art, architecture, jewelry, cars, and of course, the fashion of the time. When I was looking for the perfect dress, I was inspired by images like these…
Glamorous, long dresses…defined by intricate draping, beading and distinctive linear patterns and pleats were the haute couture of the day. I searched and searched for the perfect dress….and I found it at Macy’s from a label called Betsy and Adam!
I thought a floor-length gold lamé gown with a super low v-neck and a side slit might be a little over-the-top, and then I was like…who cares? I look FAB-U-LOUS!
I actually lasted about 3 hours in these heels before changing into flats…and that’s pretty amazing, right??
It was a great night, and I felt beautiful and glamorous…What more can a girl ask for?? 🙂
