Channeling Harlow and Dietrich

September 29, 2011 By Leave a Comment

I have been drooling over Igigi’s old Hollywood collection all week. There are a number of favorite pieces amongst the dresses, tops, pants etc but these two pieces are my absolute favorite.

plus size Harlow Skirt and Dietrich Top from Igigi

The Dietrich Top – You can’t see from the photo but the top has origami pleating which is gorgeous. Sizes are selling out quickly! I love that the top is only $60, a bargain from Igigi.

The Harlow Skirt – This pencil skirt is a herringbone tweed that is perfect for fall. It looks fabulous with the Dietrich top but would look equally bliss with a pussy bow blouse. For $65 it is a steal for this kind of quality. And yes, sizes are starting to disappear!

I love this whole look — the top, the skirt, the boots, the gloves, the purse. Gorgeous, just like Harlow and Dietrich.

Stock Up at Laura Plus

September 12, 2011 By Leave a Comment

From now until October 2, if you by three items at Laura Plus then you can get the fourth one free. Of course it is the lowest price item in your stash that is free but still an awesome deal.

Unfortunately Laura Plus still has not come completely into the tech age as you cannot shop online at their website but you can find the nearest store to you as well as get a glimpse of their hot styles.

One of my favorite pieces for fall is this red ruffle trim cardigan. I love the deep color, length and of course those ruffles. Very pretty.

Can I Have an Autograph

September 5, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Autograph Fashion is an Australian plus size clothing store that is new to me. And guess what, they deliver to Canada. There is no flat rate listed and costs are dependent on location, weight of package, and method of shipping. At the moment of this posting they offer free shipping if you spend $100 (easy enough to do) even to international customers.

They carry sizes 14 to 26 but definitely read their sizing information before you order. Prices are shown in Australian money when you first visit but you can change the currency with the drop down menu in the top right to Canada or the US.

The prices do not fall into the budget range meaning a dress will probably cost $90, a top $60; unless it is on sale. I follow a few Australian bloggers and they absolutely love this store.
