Moe — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 21:59:37 +0000

If the Valentine’s Day bra was not pretty enough they went and put one on the lovely plus size model Ashley Graham. And then made a sexy video about it:

This and all bras are currently buy one get the second for 50% off until February 14, 2012.

The Ultimate Polka Dot Dress

Moe — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 22:33:10 +0000

If you love dots as much as I do you will love the Betsey Ruched Dress with mini polka dots from Kiyonna. This beautiful ruched dress is figure hugging at its finest. The red accents are perfect too.

Not a fan of polka dots? No worries, it also comes in brown leopard, snow leopard, solid teal, solid teal, or solid black — all of which are simply fabulous. The plus size Betsey dress is available in sizes 10 to 32 for $128.

Bargain Moose App Available

Moe — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 21:52:04 +0000

One of my favorite sites to learn about the best Canadian bargain (coupons, bargains, and deal), on pretty much anything topic, is from the Bargain Moose. I have been visiting Anna’s site for a few years and have it linked in the blogroll.

This month I received a tweet from her letting me know about their new Bargain Moose App which makes viewing their site from your iPhone so much easier.

And the app is free!

It is a pretty app that works smoothly and if you do any kind of bargain surfing from your iPhone, iPod, or iPad I would highly recommend adding it.

Twitter Chat with Ashley Graham

Moe — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 23:31:24 +0000

Plus size model Ashley Graham hit super model status after the sexy Lane Bryant commercial featuring her was banned from the super bowl. It went on to be immortalized on the internet. If you missed it you can view it (or relive it) here:

Ashley has appeared on the pages of Vogue, Latina and this past year she has been every where in betweeen including the Addition Elle website and in store banners. On Sunday January 22 fans will be able to Twitter Chat with the bombshell via Addition Elle’s twitter. You can do a twitter search for this hashtag: #AdditionElleChat to keep up with the conversation.

ASOS “Hearts” Stripes

Moe — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 21:50:54 +0000

I know some of you hate stripes, especially horizontal ones but we all need to open ourselves up a little more and reclaim the “don’ts” of our youth — like horizontal stripes.

ASOS “hearts” horizontal stripes, including the horizontal ones. When I first thought of this post they had a lot more to choose from. I can only assume that stripes are so popular they are having a hard time keeping them in stock.

When it comes to stripes you no longer have to think of full body coverage like the old black and white jail suits. There are many options to choose from: wide and narrow stripes, multi-colored colored stripes, color blocked stripes, and accent stripes.

Left to right:

The red Exclusive Swing Dress, $64
The Dress With Ribbon Trim, $90
The Exclusive Knitted Dress With Stripe Collar, $64
The navy and white Knitted Dress In Stripe, $64
The Pencil Skirt In Colourblock Stripe, $46

Best Shipping Costs

Moe — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 03:56:27 +0000

Shipping costs are the bane of my existence when it comes to shopping online. There is an incredible variance of charges from the US while charges from the UK tend to be cheaper. I would rather wait an extra two weeks than pay an additional $20 in shipping costs.

Here are a list of online shops that offer reasonable if not awesome shipping charges (under $10) to plus size customers in Canada. I have divided them into four headings (bare in mind that shipping costs can change at any time so please confirm their shipping charges before ordering):

Free

* ASOS Curve
* Sealed with a Kiss (Swak Designs)– on orders over $75
* Nygard — on orders over $100
* Old Navy (CA) — on orders over $50

$10 and Under

* eShakti
* Evans UK
* Nordstrom
* Addition-Elle / Penningtons (with intermittent periods of free shipping)
* Mark’s
* Moi Wear
* Reitman’s
* Thigh Society

$20 and Under

* Buy Costumes
* Comfort in Fashion
* Lands End
* Silver Jeans
* Ulla Popken
* We Love Colors
* Ample Mama
* Forever 21
* Maximum Woman

Above $20

* Anna Scholz
* Alight
* Always for Me
* Big on Batik
* Black Cat Plus
* Baghaus
* Destination Maternity
* Lane Bryant
* Igigi
* Mode Merr

Some shops were too obscene to mention, some had no shipping on their website, and others was just too much of a pain to even find.

See You In New Year

Moe — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 17:33:20 +0000

Thank you for another wonderful year. I hope 2012 brings all the better things to your life and those you love.

Karen Kane Tops

Moe — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 06:13:00 +0000

Lola and Gigi have a few new Karen Kane tops in their new arrivals and I love them all. I am a huge fan of irregular hem tops. I have a few in my closet and have actually decided to stop adding more — no need to over do it. The mesh top is so sweet, but don’t be fooled, that cami underneath is an extra $25 (Swak Essential Cami) also from Lola and Gigi.

Karen Kane Leopard Mesh Top, $89
Karen Kane Knit Tunic Top, $105
Karen Kane Print Knit Tunic Top, $125
