Shoegasm!
One of the most exciting things about new shoes is getting the package in the mail, the suspense, and rush of opening something wonderful. I asked some readers on twitter (@Fatshionable) about the gorgeous Kim Kardashian’s business, ShoeDazzle, and being curious, I decided to sign up!
Check out the “Jett” booties I bought! I was surprised at how much I liked them. The heel is...
Fatshionable goes to Las Vegas
I’ll be in Las Vegas at the end of the month so, I’m trying to get an idea of what to bring. One reason I love the city is the diversity of fashion—from casual chic to ultra glam depending on where you go.
I’ve put together two outfits with items that are comparable to those in my closet. I don’t have this LV bag but it’s one I want to check out while...
Little Black Dress & Booties
This sweet little dress is from Evans. I love the length and cut, it flows so nicely and catches the wind just right. Paired it with my the new shoes! I had to return the Camilla Skovgaard booties because they ran really small. I was sad but these Nine West booties are ridiculously comfortable and so cute! I am currently obsessed with snakeskin, so I wore this Simply Be clutch which is so perfect....

Purchases & Obsessions
Hi readers! I don’t always have time to do as many outfit posts as I’d like, but that does mean I can’t make posts at all. So tell me if you want to see more posts where I talk about recent buys and things I love, in addition to outfit posts. Here are some things that I’m waiting for or that I’m lusting after.
Eshakti is sending me this awesome mesh dress that...
Sequins & Snakeskin
Hi readers! Wanted to let you know you can add me on twitter on @Fatshionable. If you do, don’t be shy about messaging me on twitter. I love to keep in contact with readers!
First, City Chic sent me this beautiful sequin blazer. I am consistently impressed with this Australian retailer! This jacket has gorgeous drape and sparkle. Definitely a head turner! It’s pretty lightweight,...
Western Beauty
I love the idea of chic cowgirl style. There is something so beautiful about worn in denim and weathered leather. It’s like the garment has gone through an ordeal but remains true and gorgeous. There is no denying the beauty of certain western pieces.
I was inspired to do a denim on denim look after seeing the Robert Geller menswear collection from last fall. In order to achieve the look,...
Birthday Glam and Giveaway Results
Hi everyone! I wanted to share the outfit I wore on my birthday when I went out for drinks, dancing, and a fabulous show. Jumpsuits are fun but you have to bring a little diva attitude. I think they’re a sexy alternative to a bodycon dress. You get the form-fitting nature of bodycon, the comfort of trousers, and the fact that you will stand out! I paired mine with my corset belt (same kind...

Miu Miu and New Blazer
I am in love with this blazer from Evans so much. It’s sleek, stylish, and very comfortable. I love the slightly strong shoulders and the satin. The fit is great but I may get it tailored so that it’s even more perfect. I paired it with a flowy top and my Helmut Lang heels.
Also new is this Miu Miu bow bag I received as an early birthday present from my boyfriend. OMG it is so...

Best of Fatshionable--#1 City Chic
My top fashion obsession of the past year is Australian retailer City Chic! This is the final post in my three-part series. I know I have raved about City Chic to readers and on twitter so I thought it would be fun to show more than one outfit. I absolutely LOVE everything I have from City Chic. The clothing is fun, flirty, and fantastic quality. I definitely recommend this retailer.
I have...
Best of Fatshionable--#2 Agent Provocateur
I think intimate wear plays a huge role in feeling fabulous, at least for me. I love wearing beautiful things and for that, Agent Provocateur is like a candy store. I think AP is an example of a retailer where some plus sizes can make it work. The first time I entered a boutique a few years ago and fell in love with their high quality lingerie and wonderful customer service.
I made many...
Best of Fatshionable--#3 Tough/Delicate
This is the first installment (of three posts) for my favorite things. In a way, it’s a best of 2009 but it’s also a list of my top three current fashion obsessions. I wanted to keep it fun by showing at least one new item in each post—I didn’t want to just link back to old posts. At the end of this series of posts, I will be having a giveaway! So check back.
One style I...

Shoegasms!
Yesterday on twitter I asked whether people wanted to see an outfit post or shoe post today. More people said shoes, so here it is! These are the latest additions to my shoe wardrobe.
First, the Agent Provocateur “Katie” heels in black patent. These were a “pre-xmas” gift. Let me quickly say how much I love when a man knows your taste or pays attention to what...
Rodarte Look
Rodarte and Target collaborated for a collection that looks gorgeous but doesn’t come in many sizes, so I figured I would put together an outfit to show you can create a similar look using different pieces. I decided to do the tulle skirt+denim jacket look. I feel like a cowgirl ballerina!
Also, check out my Jeffrey Campbell “Ann” boots. These were professionally altered to...
High-Waisted Heaven
I love these high-waisted trousers. I’m sure many of you have heard that only skinny women can rock this style. Not only do I disregard this “rule” as a size 16/18 but I choose to wear high-waisted, tapered, harem-esque pants. In order to balance this look out, I added a simple top with just a little volume in the sleeves. This style of trousers might tend to make you look...
Fatshionable Video Update
I am a bit unsure what role videos can play in the blog, but having received some requests, I made this intro video. I was nervous, lol. Tell me what you think. Colors look a bit dull, but this was my first attempt! If you have ideas for videos, feel free to comment here. Alternatively, feel free to use this post for general requests. Thanks for visiting my blog!

Bodycon Dress and Bows
The other day I asked my twitter friends about their dream plus size range. Mine would definitely be a Hervé Léger range because I love bandage dresses. I was so happy to receive this dress dress from Jen’s Fashion Plus! The fit is sexy and the style is on point. I also received an adorable pair of sparkly bow earrings from Liz at E-llustrious Creations. Both of these gorgeous pieces are...
Caged Up
I love this cage dress—the sheerness of the skirt, the structure of the cage, and the beautiful lines. I think that cage dresses and other garments that can be considered intimate-wear-as-outerwear make a thoughtful statement in addition to being pretty. The form of the dress becomes the focal point. Xtina has a great post on this too!
This is definitely a head turning dress and a great way...
Beautiful skin: my routine
I should start by saying that my skin is neither oily nor dry, but somewhere in the middle. I don’t purport to say that these products will work for everyone, but they have worked for me. I think that, essentially, good skincare amounts to cleansing, exfoliating, moisturizing, and protecting.
Skincare can be expensive. But you will have your skin longer than any pair of shoes, so remember...
Sequins & Stripes
I had to have a striped long sleeve top after seeing many fashionable women photographed by The Sartorialist in something very similar. I think that mixing stripes and sequins achieves a fun, whimsical look. I have been ignoring this sequin jacket so I was happy to be able to wear it out today! Also pictured are my fab new denim leggings. I love a good dark rinse—a wardrobe essential in my...
