Essence's Top Twenty Brands for Curvy Girls Reaction

Tweet
So recently Essence magazine online decided to impart their wisdom on the tippity top 20 brands for the plus size shopper. This contest must have been fixed cause some rock star retailers are missing (IGIGI, Kiyonna, hello). I don't market myself as a plus size blogger but I do know how to make it rain when it comes to shopping.
First a word of praise. The list comprised of not only well establed large scale retailers but independent designers, something I really appreciate as a consumer.

Retail Confessions: March and April

Tweet I don't want to say I shop alot but I do like pretty things ...sigh. Here are my most recent online purchase for the months of March and April. I haven't recieved a single thing, yet. Still waiting on my earrings which I ordered more than a month ago, boo!!! Overseas postage!

I will do haul vids once my precious-nesses are with me. muah hahaha
ne judge pas (that's incorrect french, FYI) but seriously do not judge me, the Euro is doing really well at the moment. On a serious note, I am cutting down on shopping and saving money for a few upcoming trips for the summer AND Vegas in October!!! So these are the last spoils before I need to sit my behind down somewheres.

I used to be a die hard Asos Curve fan, I celebrated in the streets along with my fellow curvy girls when Asos Curve was introduced. The clothing was just my style, in a perfect pricepoint and shipping to Berlin is only 4 Euros. Recently I find myself struggling with Asos Curve because I have a few fundamental issues with them as an online retailer.
