Carmakoma.com
I just found out about www.Carmakoma.com today and boy let me tell you! Now this is how plus fashion should be done here in the US. Carmakoma is a plus size line designed by two Danish clothing designers Angelica Weiss and Heidie Lykke.
Carmakoma offers some extremely chic fashionable pieces that U.S. lines seem to lack.
Just take a look at this black strapless number. So cute, the perfect thing for night out dancing. This dress is on sale right now for $34.62 which is a steal (the original price was $115.19)
Here's another hot dress on sale as well for $34.62 (was $115.19) This dress is so versatile I could pair it with some leggings and heels or some knee high boots.
Next is a very pretty purple wrap dress. This one is a little bit more at $95.96 but it's still reasonable. This would look great with some gold or silver strappy heels and chandelier earrings.
Last but definitely not least is Carmakoma's hallo jacket. I ablsolutely love this piece in fact it's my favorite from the entire site. I've been looking for a new plus size jacket lately and have only found boring grandmaish styles. This jacket is a wonderful edgy breath of fresh air and at $172.88 there's no reason any plus size fashionista should exclude this from her wardrobe.
I hope you all enjoyed this post and encourage you to go check out www.carmakoma.com right now. We need more designers who understand plus size women love chic edgy fashion too!

Plus size fashion is boring
I blog about plus size fashion a lot and lately I've been really bored with everything that's out there. I don't know about you but I want clothes to inspire me. I want something new and exciting. Is there anyone out there doing this for plus size fashion?
Ok now I'm going to make you all work a bit. I want you to tell me your favorite plus designers and give me examples of what your fashion type is whether it be plus or not. And how about some designs you wish they made in plus sizes.
Now is your time to tell me what you want let's get it out there.
Ok now I'm excited let's get started!

Figuresque.com
Hey all I was fumbling through the pages of the Skorch magazine mini mag (well virtually anyway) and found an ad for Figuresque.com
I'd never heard of their site and being the plus size fashionista I am, I decided to take a look. They carry sizes from 1X to 6X which I think is great since so many "plus size" clothing sites don't carry sizes that large.
Then I notice they don't have models modeling the clothes and the lingerie photos are stock photos with straight size models. Now if any of you follow me on twitter you know I can't stand when clothing sites don't have models in the clothes and or have straight sized (not plus size) models when they exclusively sell plus clothes. It usually bothers me to the point where I can't even continue browsing the site much less buy anything but this time it was a little different.
They have a decent selection of cute tops in 1x to 3x and the prices are pretty nice. I must say I was disappointed in the 4x to 6x top selection as well as the dress and skirt selection. Not much too see there.
Over all I'd say this is a site I would shop at and return to. The prices are right with cute, trendy and feminine pieces. They don't have everything you need for your wardrobe but what site does? They definitely do have some very cute items that will pull your wardrobe together nicely.
So go check 'em out www.figuresque.com is Ariluv approved!
P.S. If anyone reading this is associated with Figuresque.com please try and get some plus models on the site. If you need help with this I'll be glad to lend a hand :)
I was actually able to get passed the no plus models thing because I notice they have some pretty cute tops and shrugs including this one.
The $24.95 price tag made it even more appealing I mean c'mon people we are in a recession. This shrug is the perfect thing to pair with a cute dress or dress up a tank and jeans. Definitely not as boring as most shrugs I've seen or even own.
I also loved this ruffle black shrug. I have the perfect strapless olive green dress to go with it. Also $24.95
I know the plus clothing market is over saturated with kimono tops but I would actually wear this one. So pretty and it's only $25.95
Last item is this black lace top. This piece is so feminine and pretty I just had to feature it and the best part it's got the right price $25.95

Hey everyone, I have some exciting news for my friends in Canada (especially the plus size ones). I recently found out through a friend that there are a lot of online plus size clothing stores who do not ship to Canada for whatever reason. I'm located in the U.S. and am glad to offer shipping services to Canada. If you see something you want on a website that doesn't ship to Canada let me know and I will have it shipped to me and then forward it on to you.
This process will take a little bit longer than standard shipping but it's nice to at least have the option where you otherwise wouldn't have
If you're interested please contact me at Ariluv83@gmail.com
Here are a few plus size stores that don't ship to Canada
Fashionbug.com
Zappos.com
Bloomingdales.com
Evans.co.uk
Forever 21

Jessica London
Avenue
