Alright, alright, alriiiiiiiiiight!

I think it's about time I picked this blog back up. Who's still out there?

MISS TINA! - Tina Knowles Debuts Line at Walmart

Though it's been long known (by fans of Beyonce' of course) that Ms. Tina Knowles is a designer in her own right - she designed some of Destiny's Childs' costumes - she has not come out with her own line of clothing.

UNTIL NOW...

Her new collection of affordable clothing debuts this month with some pieces already online (sorry, they're sold out ***Update 10/7/10*** - they're back in stock online). What I love about the line is that she unapologetically includes everyone. As she says below, whether you're a size 2 or 20, there's something for you. What I also love is that the clothes don't lose shape as you go up in size. Because sometimes what may be for that size 2 may not be for you. But with this line, that isn't so. The curvier women in the video are working it good if not better than the slimmer models. And with this line, it's fashion at a very affordable price, which is a plus because I'm on a budget, and I will be snatching up those dresses and open cardigans. The only thing to worry about with this line is it flying off the shelves and possibly seeing someone at the church house (cause that's where I'd work it) or up in the club (if that's your thing), with the same dress on. Either way, I think Ms. Tina has a hit on her hands...

Coming to America...

I was so happy when I saw this email. While I don't like to give away my secrets, I had to share this one. ASOS is now shipping in America! That means no more waiting 10-12 days for a shirt, jacket or jeans and paying outrageous shipping (I don't think their shipping was bad, but now this is a guarantee it won't be). Also I love seeing the prices in USD even though you could change it on the London site. While I don't like the fact that I could possibly see someone here in the States with the same outfit as me, I don't mind them coming across the pond. Cheerio! :)

Denim Drama

So I usually have a hard time finding the perfect jeans to fit me because not only am I curvy, but I am also petite (as in short, not small). I was going to look for another pair of "jeggings" (bought them before the word jeggings came out) by INC but they stopped making them. So I checked out Macy's a week ago and found these babies. They're made by Style & Co. and are slightly bootcut rather than fully flared. They fit perfectly! They're also very slimming as they have spandex for a little give and are in a dark wash. I will definitely be wearing these with boots and clogs this season.

They were originally $52, but were on sale for $32 and Macy's was having a denim sale taking $10 off making them $22. Check them out online or locally while they're still on sale.

The Beginning...

I decided to start this blog today because (of):

1.)The lack of plus-sized everyday fashion blogs as opposed to those who are "normal" size (and that's a whole 'nother blog).
2.) As a way to push myself to wear things that flatter me rather than what's "comfortable".
2.5) I don't want to end up on What Not To Wear (well, not involuntarily).

So, I hope to inspire myself and others to dress a little better and also represent for the Big Girls (and/or the in-betweens)!
