It should be available by around 10pm central time. It would be perfect for a Valentine's date!

I'm still here..I swear and yay 50% sale at Torrid

2010-10-08T13:59:00.009-05:00

So sorry with lack o updates. I'm still kickin. Been so busy with ebay lately. In efforts to make ends meet I have introduced misses sizes into the ebay store. It's not exactly what I envisioned but in life you make adjustments as needed I suppose. My heart pines to have a plus sizes only store but it just isn't in the cards for me at this time. Le sigh.

I am also working on a new website design for Hourglass Fashion. I am thinking I want to go a little more modern looking. I would love to introduce a store into it also. That will take a little more work and learning on my behalf. If we only had more hours in the day lol.

Oh I did make a Halloween special for plus size costumes and I put the link up today on HF. It is in the style of the new design I am currently in the middle of designing. Any comments or suggestions are appreciated. I actually have a different navigation top planned but it is not in working order just yet so I just used a banner for now at the top of the Halloween page.

My main objective with the redesign is to make it more modern and less cluttered. I am having a hard time keeping up with updates from vendors the way it is now. Wish me luck on making it more streamlined. I realize many of the links are in dire need of updating on the HF website and I hope to take a couple days to straighten it out in the near future.

That's what's new with me...I digress and bring you a long awaited reminder...Torrid is having a sale!!! Get an additional 50% Off Clearance Items! 3 Days Only: 10/7 - 10/11. I know you all love those sales. Who doesn't?! - Till next time ~ Jax

Such a touching story

2010-07-26T17:44:00.003-05:00

It's really off topic but wanted to pass on this heartwarming article I read on Yahoo today about a young girl who turned a cabbage into a movement that helps the hungry. She really is an inspiration to all with her kindness and generosity. Sometimes it seems like nowadays you don't hear about kids being thoughtful like this so it was so refreshing to read. I hope she continues down this path of doing good for others. Big hats off to Katie. We could all learn a thing or two from this little girl.

Plus size swimwear 2010 special

2010-07-21T12:39:00.007-05:00

Ok, burned a little midnight oil and put some finishing touches on the new swimsuit special for Hourglass Fashion. While scouring the web as we know it, I came across some really fantastic styles in plus size swimwear. Some of the stores have special offers for freebie items or even discounts on purchases. Come have a look at all the goodies!

Ps. Like the nifty graphic with the surfboard n stuff? That was my first time doing an image map so all in all I'm pretty pleased with the results. Hope you like! ~Jax

PS PS. Some of the places that do have swimwear for plus sizes don't have individual pictures that I can use to show you like Addition Elle, Penningtons, and MXM but here are some links to those stores. I believe they are based in Canada but their shipping rates seem reasonable to USA. They are running a shipping special also which I have linked below.

Trendy plus size styles from Missphit

2010-07-16T10:58:00.013-05:00

I just love finding a shop that offers stylish plus size clothing in today's trends. If you love keeping up with the trends of the season but are bored with the run of the mill options, you should def check out Missphit.com. This summer's trends can be seen in their current offerings. For instance if you love the chic military look they have these awesome tops. They both come in a couple different colors too.

If you love this season's nautical look, you will totally love this gorgeous nautical inspired dress. It's in a neutral cream color which is so in style this summer. Think clean, fresh N breezy. Seriously, just add some cute wedge shoes for a great retro pinup girl look.

I have to admit, my fave top from them has to be this vibrant shiny and perfect for a night on the town top. It just screams fun and I LOVE the color. This would look fab with some metallic bangles! This comes in sizes 1x-3x. To check out this top and more please visit Missphit.com.

Check out these cool bangles from Torrid that would go great with this top.

ugh... Bad luck go away

2010-06-30T10:34:00.003-05:00

It seems I am having one of those weeks that just seem to go all wrong. I think it all started when I accidentally opened an umbrella in the house a couple days ago. That same evening the living room flooded after a big rain. Spent the whole night into the early morning hours trying to get stuff moved out as well as about 4-5 inches of water out. Not fun at all. The carpet is still being dried and will have it cleaned today.

To make matters worse, I heard a crash in the living room last night, I go down to inspect what it was and I find a broken mirror. Really? What next a black cat walking under a ladder lol. OMG

I don't really feel like doing anything today but I do need to hit the post office at least to ship out some ebay orders. Luckily all the ebay stuff is upstairs and safe. whew. Here's hopin I find either a 4 leaf clover or a penny on the ground when I'm out running errands LOL. I just always tell myself it could be worse....It could be much much worse :) So I am thankful. Have a good one readers. ~Jax
