OOTD: Glamour Island

Got all gussied up, and probably inappropriately absurd, to go see Shutter Island. Reminded me why we always go to the 21+ theaters to avoid teenagers. However, the movie was excellent and our impromptu photo shoot led to some decent shots.

OOTD: Mourning in the Evening

We attended the birthday party of the lovely Mrs Bernie Dexter and somehow, my co-hort Frankie and I ended up looking like ladies attending a funeral. One fabulous funeral! Here are the specs on my 'fit for the evening, along with photos. Sorry, it was so crowded we never snapped a full length.

Swoonage: Alienskin

I love my Alienskin clothing. My favorite dress is from their shop and it was custom made...without a custom made price. They use a heavy weight t-shirt-like knit in a variety of basic colors and add fabulous stitching to create a comfortable and unique look...I LOVE them!
My favorite dress is their Babydoll style (shown with one of their shrugs):

It comes up to a UK 26, in 6 different colors with over 20 colors of stitching...LOVE that customization!!

All of the following pieces have the same options...review and fall in love!






Note: these sleeves are a fabulous cyber accessory for plus sizes, as you can pop them over your favorite sleeves top and show some sexy shoulder. They do come in larger arm sizes so HUGE YAY!



I truly, truly recommend getting these pieces if you are a club-goer who likes to dance. They breathe amazing and look fantastic.

Essential Pieces for Fall!

Fall Warm Squishies by pinkbot featuring Dorothy Perkins

Fall is almost here and that means my FAVORITE fashion time of year! We can add layers, hats, and boots without roasting our hides and without freezing our tushies off! What are the necessary pieces?

1. A great coat - this lil' number is from Dorothy Perkins and comes in Black, Yellow, Purple, and PINK!
2. Vests - these are a warmer, more snazzy alernative to the high belt. They cinch in your body to create a more definitive waist, much like a belt, but add more warmth and a new dimension to dressing. I love this one from Dorothy Perkins because it has sequins and an open style in the belly area.
3. Studs! - I love these puppies on everything...belts, dresses, headbands, gloves, shoes....they really can't go wrong for me.
4. Bangles - I love stacking the bangles and clanging my way through the day. The trick for plus size girls to get the ones from the plus size store that sit properly so that they look effortless and flattering the arm. Torrid, Evans, and Lane Bryant all carry affordable sets.
5. Leather gloves - Yes, I'm a vegetarian. I can't get enough of leather gloves...so shoot me! These great ones are from Intermix, but I've found styles by Patricia Field and Michael Kors that work on many hand sizes. These keep you hands warm and are great for when you go out and don't want to fix your chipped nail polish.
6. Berets with somethin' extra - I love the slouchy tam/snood/beret look, but I been wanting more than the standard knit fair. For fall, dazzle it up with a sequin one or maybe even one with a bow or flower!
7. Huge Pyramid Rings - these are a direct rip off the runway, but you can find some great styles in sizes 8 and up at Evans and Torrid.
8. Single Charm necklaces - these easy and affordable pieces add some pop to any wardrobe with minimal effort. Try Girlprops for TONS of affordable styles.
