Yep, you read that right. Here in the middle of summer, SwimsuitsForAll is offering up to 70% off on its selection of super cute, super sexy, and of course super flattering plus size swimsuits… including the designer brands!
While I of course suggest you browse around their clearance section to see what they’ve got on sale, you don’t want to miss out on their selection of inexpensive Liz Claiborne suits. These are the suits that you’ll be excited to show off every summer… and that you’d normally pay and arm and a leg (or two) for. But now, even the “most wanted” Liz Claiborne suits, like the South of the Border Two Piece Bandeau Skirtini, are marked way down.
You want to go designer? What are you waiting for? These are some very cute, very sexy, suits, and they’re going quick.
What curvy girl doesn’t love Avenue.com? They have some of the cutest styles for plus size figures on the net. And right now, they also have some of the best prices in their summer clearance. Some of the cutest summer styles are on sale for up to 60% off… and are going fast.
I am absolutely in love with the Linen Pintucked Button-Down Top. It’s feminine, it’s timeless, and it’s marked down to $20.00 from its original price of $49.99. I’m imagining it now with this Stretch Shell Bracelet, normally priced $14.00 and on sale for $7.00. It’ll be the perfect combo come autumn, too.
While you’re at it, check out some of the other specials going on at Avenue, including 50% off bras and panties until August 7, and buy one, get on 50% off on watches and jewelry.
Bubble dresses. You know the ones. They look super cute on those girls with the approximate size and shape of a stick, and terrible on anybody with a pair of, you know… hips. You like to follow trends, but… why would you torture yourself by putting on a dress with a hemline that only puffs everything out and clings in all the wrong places?
I just visited IGIGI, and lo and behold… they actually make bubble dresses that flatter women with a curvier shape! Just in at the website is a selection of very trendy (by still very flattering) bubble-hemmed dresses. My favorite? The jewel-toned green jade bubble dress. So pretty. So feminine. So in my shopping cart.
Finally! Just because I’m not Miss Twiggy doesn’t mean I can’t follow this trend.
Enjoy your summer and style! IGIGI is making that even easier for full figured women now, by launching a massive summer clearance sale. Savings of up to 60% can be made, on select summer fashion. Here is a roundup of some pieces which caught my eye, which are also reduced in price:
- Dress with Polka Dots Inserts in Black/White. Was: $89.00. Now: $53.50.
- Smocking Dress in Mediterranean Blue with Shrug. Was: $135.00. Now: $81.00.
- Polka Dot dress with Smocking with Shrug in Navy. Was: $110.00. Now: $55.00.
- Sunset over Maui Maxi Dress with Shrug. Was: $195.00. Now: $136.50.
- Neapolitan Colorblock Dress with Shrug. Was $135.00. Now: $94.50.
This is going to be one popular sale, so I’m sure the items will be grabbed pretty quickly. So get your hands on your favorite today to avoid disappointment.
When you’re not in the mood for a skirt, capri pants are the perfect compromise. They offer the coverage and convenience of pants, but are cool and comfy for summer. You can dress them up with a pair of pretty heels and a nice blouse, or dress them down with some flip flops and a tank. And even though I already own several pairs, I think I might have to buy another… because at SWAK Designs, their cutest, most versatile, totally functional capri pants are on special!
Normally $32.99, you can get $10 off these super cute, super flattering little pants for a limited time. Just use coupon code PCNA3333 at checkout, and you’re ready to go! I like them in black, as I’ll be able to dress them up for the evening or wear them to work, or go black and white with bright accessories (very in right now!) during the day. They’re also available in khaki. Check them out now, while they still have all sizes in stock!
Until tomorrow, Sunday 27th July, you can add on some very stylish plus size items to your wardrobe at very affordable prices.

There’s something so wonderfully freeing about summer. The kids are out of school, the sun is shining, and late night parties and fun beckon you out of the house. There’s nothing quite like standing in a sea breeze with a floaty skirt fluttering around your calves.
Yes, I am leading this towards clothes. How could I not? The skirt I’m specifically referring to is that of the new Tropical Heat Halter Dress from IGIGI. This gorgeous dress in a fun tribal print follows all of the summer’s biggest trends. Plus it’s gorgeously flattering, totally feminine, and due to the marvel of Internet shopping, unmarked by my drool (if it were in a department store, it would be a different story - as is, my “I want it” drool is limited to my keyboard).
This dress is my favorite, but a ton of new summer dresses have just arrived at IGIGI. Or, if you’re looking to save money but still look utterly gorgeous, their summer clearance has been deepened to up to 70% and there’s still lots of great stuff left!
You’re going to love Torrid’s new collection of tailored, sexy, and oh-so-trendy items. Called An American Girl in Paris, this collection is just what it sounds: casual, sophisticated, and “what? This old thing?” sexy.
The biggest features of this collection are nautical themed patterns, fun accessories, and clean, elegant lines. It’s one of those collections where everything in it goes well with everything else - and all of it is gorgeous. My only problem is that I can’t decide between the little red bolero and the more understated denim one. I didn’t even know I liked boleros until I saw this collection! Maybe I should get them both… they’ll both look great with the Navy Blue and White Nautical Boho bag!
Go check it out. You don’t need to own a yacht to look, well… yacht-hot. (Sorry. Bad joke.)
Life if not a piece of cake these days. With gas prices always rising up, and pretty much everything else getting more expensive everyday, every penny really counts. So what is a plus size fashionista to do in order to look good on the beach (or by the pool), whilst not breaking the bank?

We all have different shapes and tastes and ideas about what flatters us. But there are some items that flatter every shape, and look amazing on just about everybody. These are those “fashion essentials” that no woman can go without - no matter her shape.
Fashion Essential 1:
A simple v-neck dress in a striking color. I love Kiyonna’s Lola Ruched Dress in Plum.
Fashion Essential 2:
A sexy and versatile wrap top, like the Short Sleeve Sophisticate Wrap Blouse in simple white.
Fashion Essential 3:
A special shape-flattering blouse, such as the Kelli Asymmetrical Top with ruched draping at the bust that really brings out an hourglass shape.
And don’t forget that Kiyonna’s summer sale is still going strong! They’re adding great new items to their sale selection all the time, so keep checking back. The best stuff disappears quickly, so you’ve got to be fast!
