The Peplum Dress is Making a Comeback!

So as I did some research on some Fall trends of 2009 I keep seeing the Peplum over and over again. Let's take a trip down memory lane:

The Peplum Dress in the 1940's:

The Peplum Dress in the 80's:

It is now the must have Fall trend for 2009!

Here is Mollie rockin a nice purple peplum number

The ever so ravishing Ms. Estelle with a gray peplum number (my favorite so far!)

And of course SJP never stays behind from a trend!!!

Here are some ways to rock the Peplum today:

I personally think the peplum is so nice. Not all styles however but there are many different styles of the peplum dress to suit many body styles. Here is an interesting article I found at whowhatwear.com regarding the fashionably peplum dress:

As fashion fanatics know, this certainly isn't the first time the peplum dress has enjoyed a place in fashion's pantheon. Though we won't bore you with the long history of this design (which originated in ancient Greece of all places), the silhouette's primarily associated with two decades: the forties and the eighties. In the former, women wore peplum-appended coats and dresses as a way to draw attention to a tiny waist and hourglass figure—without being overtly erotic. Forty years later, the style re-emerged with a vengeance when visionaries like Thierry Mugler created body-con garments with exaggerated flips of fabric at the hips or the stomach for an especially dramatic effect. This season, the peplum is enjoying yet another renaissance of sorts, as modern-day design dynamos are offering both the ladylike and "Like A Virgin"-inspired styles. The range of choices available means that you're sure to find something that works with both your body and your budget, so it's no wonder that we endorse this trend. All in all, a peplum cocktail dress is the perfect way to add a little pizzazz to your routine fancy fare! (excerpt from www.whowhatwear.com) click on the link to check out the entire article.

Do you like the peplum? Let me know how you feel about it - would it be a Fall trend you will rock or not?

P.S. For the plus size ladies - there are some peplum dresses at Torrid with certain peplum styles to fit our volump figs :)

Laterzzzzz!

I LOVE me some TORRID!!!

So I took a trip to the Neshaminy Mall today with the babes and my 2 brothers and I came across a store called Torrid. Now I had shopped here once back in 2007 but the one in New Jersey Cherry Hill Mall. This is definitely my kind of store! Plus size but the styles are way better than like Lane Bryant. This is a more urban, chic, divalicious type of store and I loved it! Price range I saw was $20-$70 with 30's and 40's being the regular prices of things. I tried on this purple and black dress and I fell in love! My boyfriend gave me a belt to use to cinch the waist to complete the look and it made it even betta! My man is so great in helping me find cute clothes and he can see ahead of time what will work for me. Love u babes! Anywho here is the dress:

Sorry if it came out a bit blurry, it's juss that on the website, it was pretty small and when I tried to resize it, the pixels got out of whack :/

Anyways, there was so many things I wanted to leave with so bad! I can't wait until I have the funds to go and just wild out at this store. I need a new look and I feel Torrid has definitely got what I am looking for.

I also been thinking about the Fall 2009 Fashion trends. I wonder what will be in...anyone know? I am so like reinventing myself, I am like sooooooo long overdue it's not even funny!

Let me know if there is a 2009 fashion trend you love or hate an why. Would love to hear about it!

Veet Is The Truth!

So I bought the new Veet hair remover pump from Rite Aid yesterday. I was in the shave aisle for a WHILE tyring to figure out if I wanted Nair or Veet. I even asked my man "The commercial with the sexy girls showing their legs and dancing about smooth legs was that Veet or Nair"? LOL He said Nair. I decided to try Veet however. This thing is the truth! I applied it using the flexi spatula it came with. I think its great! Some things to know tho, it took away about 99% of my hair and it leaves behind a little smell. To me it smells like burning hair...lol I have course hair so next time I might use more product and leave it for 10 minutes instead of 3-6 it recommends.

The bottle is 13.5 Fl. Oz. for $10.99. The product itself is creamy like a lotion. There are two different types of bottles - one is Green which is for dry skin and one is Blue which is for Sensitive skin. Leave in time for sensitive skin was 10 minutes surprisingly versus the normal dry skin one which recommends a leave in time of 3-6 minutes.
Either way, it left my legs feeling baby bottom smoooooooth! Just wash away with soap or your daily liquid body wash to get rid of the smell.

It's a Plus Size World Afterall!!!

Ok so I have to get one of these!!!

So I found these Plus Size Denim Leggings online and I said to myself...I GOT to have it. Many are saying that these will be in HARD for fall/winter 2009. I was so happy to find the plus size version! I would so rock it the way its in the pic. The shirt works well fro plus sizers becuz its flowy and takes away from the tummy area (which I normally try to conceal) I love those sandals too. I mean you can easily rock this outfit during the day time and throw on a cardigan and some ankle booties or gladiator heels for the night, so versatile. You get these onlione at forever21 ubder the plus size line FAith21 for $15.80.

I stood up so late last night and performed a research on clothes for plus size girls. Let me tell ya, I had given up on tryna look trendy due to my size but after searching I was in awe. There were so many stores like Forever21 and Wetseal to name a few that had an exlusive Plus Size line! Wetseals Plus size line is only avialable online (which sucks because I think us volump ladies should be trying on stuff at stores versus juss ordering them online (atleast untill you find the perfect size then after its a breeze) I also checked some forum reviews from Forever21's plus line called Faith21 and there seems to be more negative reviews than positive. Something about they only go up to a size 2X and that the sizing is all wrong. However, some mentioned they loved what they purchased! I am glad theres one in the Oxford Valley Mall in Langhorne, PA which is not too far from where I am in Northeast Philly. So I want to check it out anyway. The worst thing that can happen is the jeans may not fit me right but the shirts, dresses and accessories will! lol

So yeah, I saved the links to all the plus size websites I found that had trendy stuff! I am so excited because I was offered a position so that means Breezy will be working and able to buy some stuff! Anywho - I am going to post the websites I found along with some pics (maybe on the pics..lol) on some stuff I liked and may purchase later on tonight or tommorrow.

Any plus size gals or any gals for that matter know of any other plus size stores I can look up?

XOXO
