For a while now the new “thing” has been combining shape wear into regular wear. Now on one hand I tell myself that the shape-wear pieces I have are just fine and I should just buy regular clothes. But when you put on one of these shape-wear-built-in items you see that it’s such an amazing…

A new player in the plus size market

Designer, Jen Menchaca, has created a line for full-figured women that is flattering, comfortable, and on-trend.

The Brown Leather Jacket
It’s easy to find a great black jacket but the brown has been a bit more elusive. A reader asked for suggestions so I went on the prowl. First stop, Overstock.com. A great dark brown jacket by Kenneth Cole for $199.99. I love the cut, I love the color. Dress it up, dress it down.…

I’m back?
Hello friends. I’ve been taking a much needed rest to reorganize my life and recharge my depleted battery. It’s not finished. Probably always a work in progress…but at least it’s going. 2011 was a crazy busy year adding a boutique to my list of things to take care of. Things just sort of came to…
