last pop in for the week – but i had to tell you about some new finds!
there are a lot more really cute plus size clothing coming out every year. but the fact of the matter is, plus size shopping is harder than you think and for more reasons than you think.
plus size tends to be on extremes sometimes. you either have the super frumpy dated look, or the too - juvenile look. plus size tends to be not just a little – but way more expensive. but most of all, finding trendy AND modest plus size attire can be so hard. you wouldn’t think that right?
so i am really excited about a new source for plus size i have realized : saks
i’ve never really considered saks.
the only thing i have ever owned from there was this beautiful number. i got buyers remorse and took it back 3 days later. one of the enduring tragedies of my life. {cough overly dramatic cough}
the point is, i never really look there for items because i always assume they are totally out of price range and i have always assumed they don’t even sell plus size.
i was pleasantly surprised to find that saks.com has some really great stuff AND carries sizes 0-24!
yes, the prices are a little higher, but they aren’t too insane when you compare them to shabby apple or even lane bryant because saks clothing is obviously designer brands.
this would especially be a great resource if you’re looking for something extra special, as a bridesmaid dress or for a holiday/occasion!
p.s. somebody buy that little red party number right NOW and wear it for a christmas or new years party! its fab!\

Hey All!! Sorry I have been MIA lately. I have been super sick and have basically only been able to go to work and then come home and pass out. Luckily Natalie has been giving you some sweet posts!
I am working on emails and reader questions – I will probably be able to get to most of them over Christmas break (next week) and after the New Year, but expect cute stuff in the meantime.
As promised, here are my holiday outfits. I chose one fabulous party outfit and then decided I needed something more comfortable, but still pretty for Christmas Day.
Ciao Ciao and Happy Shopping!
Party Outfit:
ring ring sequin top, sequin shrug
Christmas Day Outfit:
The first is a headwrap from Anthropologie:
The second I think is out of stock (I may have grabbed the last one!) but it is an gold ear cuff with chains that wrap around:
A good substitute would be this
yellow cab, gypsy cab, dollar cab, holla back.
Our reader, Katie, said this:
“Can you put together some suggestions for cute and comfortable shoes? I am visiting New York for the first time in October, and I don’t want to blow my fashion by wearing comfortable “tennis shoes!” I’ll be doing a lot of walking, so comfort is key… but style is important too!”
Katie – I am so excited for you! October is my favorite month in NYC. I lived in Manhattan for awhile and I hear you. There is A LOT of walking and its NY so you want to look your best!
When I was there I wore flats flats flats!! (I’m not a heels kind of girl). I would suggest wearing flats and low – heeled boots. Make sure you bring some Wellies and an umbrella just in case! If it gets rainy just wear your Wellies walking around and slip a pair of flats in your purse in case you want to change.
When I was working downtown I had a whole drawer full of shoes and then I just wore weather appropriate shoes on my commute and changed at work.
My favorite place for cute, good quality, cheap shoes is Target. I also have thrown in a New Balance shoes because they are supposed to be more comfortable, however, it was hard finding a cute one!
p.s. Remember everyone in NY wears black – I liked to wear basic black pieces then spice it up with a beautiful scarf or colorful shoes or bag. Just a thought.
p.p.s. Readers who have sent emails: just a reminder that I am getting to them and to keep watching SS for your answers. We. Heart. Emails.
Hope this selection helps:
brown boots, brown NB, black studded boots, purple flat, black snake skin wellie, rose flat, blue studded flat, yellow wellie
Camel is so in for fall.

i love accessories.
(forgive the shaky iphone shot, the serious need for a manicure and the awkward hand pose)
This is an actual shot of what i actually wear on my hands every day. My point: accessories can be fun, useful and add color and intrigue to any outfit.
Now I realize that not everyone is as hard core about the types and amounts of accessories as I am but that doesn’t mean that accessories aren’t for you!
I think extras for an outfit are all about trying something different and transforming a look. Yes, I wear tons of jewelry most days but I also try and change it up.
For instance:
If you always wear big earrings, try little ones or vice versa. No jewelry? Try a necklace one day. Too much jewelry? (cough, cough) try tapering it down once in a while.
Of course, accessories aren’t just about jewelry. Scarves, hats, bags and so much more are all part of it as well. It’s all about the style and personality of the person!
And like I always say, Go Big or Go Home!!
My favorite accessories of the moment:
petal necklace, rainbow headband, chain and fabric necklush, two finger black ring, fabric bracelet, gold bangles
