Ruffles & Booties
First, I wanted to let you know that I put some ad space in the right column. I’ve kept the page ad free until now but they can help make the blog better + more fun in the long run! Thanks sooo much to everyone who visits this blog, reads, and comments. You guys are the reason I keep blogging! xo This outfit is a little funny because I built it around the booties, which I got first. I...

Parisian Inspiration & Chanel
Recently I’ve been in love with all things French—the film Coco Before Chanel, Sakina, and the episodes of Sex and the City set in Paris. Here is my outfit below, which was inspired by all this. Yesterday I went to the Chanel boutique, so take a peek at my bag too. Being in Chanel is like being in a different world, one I never want to leave. There is just no going back after you get...

Kim K Inspired
It’s no secret that I love Kim Kardashian’s fashion sense, hair, and makeup. Her outfits are so fun, simple, sexy, and stylish. A while back I saw a picture of Kim wearing a great blazer with a fringe top, so I thought I would recreate the look using pieces that could work for plus sizes. First, this gorgeous fringe necklace from the etsy store Leilanni Land. This is so much more...

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!
