My last post on retail confessions was all the way back in May, I have been laying low and watching my spending these past few months. Recently, I carefully ventured back out into the vast and delectable world of online shopping, this time in search of shoes! dun dun dun.

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.

Style This Way Contest: JIBRI Dawn Dress

Tweet

Woot! I recently received my JIBRI Dawn Dress with the swagged hip detail and I must say I am in love. This dress is so friggin fierce and comfortable. I will debut the dress later this year in October when I go to Vegas for my birthday!! The dress is made in high quality ponte knit and since it's long sleeve I figured it would be perfect for the cooler evenings on the strip. I opted to get the dress in sand, leaving me the versatility to use different colored accessories since it is neutral. I have a pair of shoes that match the dress but I am undecided if I will go with them.

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.

So you have a biggish foot

Join the club. I wear a size 11 in US women's. That translates into about a UK 9 and EU 42. I can still find shoes but it takes alot of trial and error. I know the annoyance of shopping online and potentially returning things that don't fit, but in the end it saves me time, energy and a bit of sanity.

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.
