Where to Buy Plus Size Jeggings

Sarah — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 21:43:17 +0000

Plus size jeggings, also known as denim leggings, have been one of the biggest trends of the season, and I expect them to remain as sought after as they are now for more time to come.

Why all this fuss about jeggings? There are a few different reasons, though I think the more obvious one is simply utter comfort. Jeggings are truly comfortable, I love the pairs that I own and have been wearing them all the time. Besides the fact that I love the ‘skinny jeans’ look they give, I love how they are stretchy at the waistline and just simply move along with my movements ever so easily.

Today though, I wanted to focus a little bit on where you can actually by plus size jeggings, and for this I’ve drawn up the short video below that goes through what I think are the best places to find quality plus size jeggings, and how to actually get to them on these online stores.

(If you are viewing this in your RSS reader, please click here to watch the video on YouTube.)

Below are links to the stores featured in this video, but what do you think? Do you know of any better stores that carry plus size jeggings? Share your thoughts in the comments below!

4 Plus Size Summer Dresses from Figureqsue

Sarah — Sat, 19 Jun 2010 10:50:00 +0000

Figuresque have been adding a variety of new items to their stock lately, a few days ago we saw their new gorgeous plus size corset tops in fact. Though today I wanted to take a closer look at some of their new plus size summer dresses as I think they are great options to consider as they are stylish, flattering and affordable.

Sexy Floral Bloom Dress in Pink
This is one of my favorites from Figuresque’s new arrivals. It features a floral print design, and we all know that floral prints are very in this season, in very bright and summery colors. This is a strapless dress which features a flattering sweetheart neckline, and it ties at the waist for a perfect fit. The dress is fully lined and features a back zip. It is available in sizes 1x to 3X and retails at $34.95, definitely a bargain.

Black N White Strapless Dress
A chic and elegant dress, this item features a lovely back and white print. Again this is a strapless dress, with a sexy and flattering sweetheart neckline. It ties at the waist line to give you that right fit and again, it is fully lined and zips up at the back. It is available in sizes 1X to 3X and is currently priced at $34.95.

Sexy Floral Bloom Dress in Blue
The cute of this dress is similar to the first dress I looked at today, however this dress comes in a slightly different print and color. The main colors here are blue and purple. Again a very bright and fun choice for those summer nights and parties. This dress is also available in sizes 1X to 3X and retails at $34.95.

Strappy Print Bubble Hem Dress
Finally I wanted to include this fun and versatile new plus size bubble dress, which can easily take you from day to night! It features a beautiful green and blue watercolor print with contrasting wide straps and trim. Wear it with a cardigan for work, then pair it up with bold jewels and heels for a night out. This dress is available in sizes 1X to 3X and retails at $32.95.

Every woman I think is on the constant look out for stylish casual wear options, as this is such an essential part of a woman’s wardrobe. Be it to wear for work (if you work in a relaxed type of environment), whether you are off shopping with your girls, or whether you just feel like going for a stroll down the street, casual wear is essential. So today I wanted to have a look at what I think are the Top 10 Casual Plus Size Clothing Stores online, to help women and give them some options for where to shop.

1. Alight – When you talk about casual plus size clothing, if you are more of less familiar with the leading plus size speciality stores online, then definitely Alight will be the first store you will think of. Alight offers a lot more then casual wear, in fact I like to call Alight the online mall for plus size shopping. It offers a wide range of styles, and carries a lot of different designers, which is what sets it apart. The vast choice of casual wear you can browse through here is what makes Alight the first go to place for findnig casual plus size clothing online.

2. Figuresque – A store which not everyone might be familiar with, but which I truly encourage every full figured woman to visit. Figuresque is quite a new store to hit the online scene, though do not be put off by this. They offer a vast selection of very stylish casual wear, and most of all their options are truly affordable. This is what sets Figuresque apart from the competition. If you’re looking for a bargain, head on their way!

3. Avenue – A store which I am sure a lot of curvy women will be familiar with, Avenue again is one of the first go to places to go for when shopping online for curvy clothing. They offers a great selection of casual fashions, which are also easy on the budget. Avenue is always adding on new, contemporary styles to make sure the latest trends are available, so again this is one to check out.

4. OneStopPlus – Another store which carries a large range of clothing, as well as accessories. However the casual clothing options offered at OneStopPlus are endless and definitely not to miss. They carry anything from tops, to skirts, to denim and dresses.

5. Torrid – A name synonymous with plus size clothing online, Torrid has become a favorite with many women and for good reasion. They offer a great selection of casual wear, with trendy new designs added on a regular basis. Various items can be found at Torrid including a great selection of casual tops, skirts, dresses and denim. A curvy girl will definitely satisfy her casual wear needs at Torrid.

6. SWAK Designs – Another must visit store when you are looking for casual wear. SWAK Designs carry a great range of tops, skirts, dresses, pants and denim at affordable prices. Most of their items are available up to a size 6X (which would be approximately size 30/32), and include individual item size charts, which makes finding your size for a particular items a breeze.

7. Lane Bryant – Definitely a well known brand with full figured ladies, Lane Bryant carries a good selection of plus size casual wear, among their vast collection. Price points suit a lot of different budgets, and new designs are frequently added.

8. Fashion Bug – A store which might appeal more to a younger plus size woman, Fashion Bug provides the full figured woman a lot of options when it comes to casual wear. Again here you can find items ranging from skirts, to tops, to dresses.

9. Yours Clothing – An online store based in the UK, but which ships around the world, Yours carries one of the biggest collections of casual plus size apparel you can find online andhas become one of my favorites! Best of all their prices are truly affordable, and they hold sales and apply price reductions very often, which makes shopping here both fun and very easy on your budget. This is definitely a must visit, and I encourage plus size women outside of the UK not to get discourage from shopping here, as shipping fees are very reasonable and the vast selection of items available definitely make it worth shopping here.

10. Old Navy – I know some plus size women frown upon Old Navy (and with reason) because they reserve their plus size collection just for their online sale, but the stylish and vast selection they do offer online meant they had to be included in this list. Whatever everyone says I do think Old Navy offer a nice selection of casual plus size clothing, to suit everyone’s tastes and budgets.

So there you have it! What do you think? Should any particular store not be in the list? Do you think I missed listing down a store which you absolutely cannot live without? Comment below, and let me know. I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Julianna Cowl Neck Dress by Kiyonna

Sarah — Mon, 24 May 2010 11:21:58 +0000

Last week Kiyonna unveiled a gorgeous new dress which they have named the Julianna Dress. This dress is not just another short sleeved cowl neck dress! The sleeves are uniquely set-in which give this dress a chic and Grecian feel to it. The soigné details and ruching at the side make this dress super flattering. Any dress that include ruching somewhere at the waist is a winner for me, because ruching truly disguises your tummy, and flatters any figure. This dress follows the Grecian style of recent dresses Kiyonna have unveiled which are equally gorgeous such as the Alexandra Gathered Dress and the Celine Chiffon Maxi Dress.

The Julianna dress comes in three different colors: blue, rich purple and black. Definitely a dress that will leave a lasting impression, one to have a closer look at if you’re searching for a special dress for a special occasion.

This dress is available in sizes 0X (10/12) to 5X (30/32) and is priced at only $98! It starts shipping tomorrow 25th May, 2010.

Kiyonna's Saturday Front Tie Bellini: A Review

Sarah — Sun, 16 May 2010 23:41:01 +0000

Recently I have the pleasure of trying on one of Kiyonna‘s best sellers: the Saturday Front Tie Bellini. The great people at Kiyonna sent over a very well presented package to me, and I must say once I tried on the Bellini I knew why this item is one of their best sellers… it is truly flattering. I honestly was not expecting being so excited about a ‘cardigan’ type garment, but this thing truly rocks. I must get it in all colors… but I digress.

Back to the details. The Saturday Front Tie Bellini is made of a lightweight fabric, which is a mixture of Rayon and Spandex, which is very silky and soft to the touch. The font-tie site exactly below the bust-line, helping to create a very figure flattering look.

Besides the Bellini feeling very nice to the touch, it pretty much goes with everything, which is another definite plus. If you need an item in your closet to help you with layering, this is definitely one item to consider as it is very versatile. It comes in four different colors, including sage, black and purple, however the one I tried on is grey. I tried on the Bellini with a skirt, cropped jeans and jeggings… and with all 3 items I think it looked great. I received a couple of compliments when I first wore this, so definitely a winner in my books.

Check out some photos below, of me wearing the Bellini. Also watch out for a video coming up soon as well, showing you the actual Bellini!

Thanks Kiyonna… this is definitely a keeper, and I am very tempted to get in other colors!

With a skirt...

With cropped jeans...

With my ultra favorite jeggings...
