Flatter Your Figure - Fab Fall Dresses for Plus Size Babes

Filed under: Dresses, Flatter Your Figure

Ladies, just because a size eight better describes your shoe size than your dress size, there's no reason you shouldn't be just as fashionable as those lucky enough to have a super high metabolism. Style exists for women of all shapes and sizes, although, admittedly, it is tougher for those who wear plus sizes.

Old Navy Tall and Petite - StyleList review

Email thisPosted Sep 22nd 2008 at 9:09AM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Clothing, Product Reviews

Old Navy recently gave us $30 to pick out something from their Tall and Petite options and try it on for size -- so to speak. We asked our resident Jolly Green Giant, Kristen Seymour, to give it a whirl. Here's what she came back with.

Those of us on the tall side (or petite) know that it's not always just the length of clothing that's an issue -- when you're taller, you might have the all around bone structure to match. I know I do -- I have broad shoulders, which is an issue with many shirts, jackets, and dresses.

Old Navy knows this, and created their Petite and Tall clothing with this in mind. Petites, for women 5'4" and under, have narrowed shoulders, higher arm openings, shorter sleeves and length, narrowed hips and waist, and a shorter inseam. Talls, for women 5'10" and over, offer an extra half inch in the shoulders (yahoo!), longer sleeves and body, a lower waist, and longer inseam.

Book Review: Vintage Knitwear for Modern Knitters

Email thisPosted Aug 28th 2008 at 3:19PM by Cat Lincoln

Filed under: Vintage and Retro, Product Reviews

Finding a vintage knit in wearable condition is hard. Moths get to yarn, colors fade, and odors...well, they linger. Not to mention the tiny sizes they wore back then. Still, the draped silhouettes of the 30s, 40s and 50s are irresistible, so we kept pawing through odd racks at the back of vintage shops, hoping for that one lucky find.

We did finally get lucky, but what we found was a book, not a sweater. Vintage Knitwear for Modern Knitters by Lise-Lotte Lystrup is filed with exactly the kind of knit jackets and shrugs that Joan Holloway or Betty Draper would wear on Mad Men.

Flatter Your Figure: 5 ways to make the most of a curvy figure

Email thisPosted Jul 24th 2008 at 9:02AM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Clothing, Flatter Your Figure

If you have a curvy figure, it's entirely likely that there are some days you wake up wishing you had a skinny, straight body. We can guarantee you that there's another girl somewhere with the opposite body type wishing she had some more curves -- the grass is always greener in somebody else's closet. However, we think it's really important to appreciate what you have, and that means learning to make the most of it.

Sometimes making the most of it will mean pulling attention away from a certain body part, and sometimes it means bringing the eye to a particular body part. These tips will help you figure out how to do both, with style.

Get rolling with tiny scents that travel well

Email thisPosted Jul 10th 2008 at 9:06AM by Cat Lincoln

We love perfume, and we love travel sizes almost as much, so travel size perfumes are twice as exciting.

We've written before about how an atomizer can be a lifesaver if you only have a big bottle of scent and still want to smell sweet on vacation.

Even better are mini-sized roller ball bottles. Small enough to tuck inside your carry-on, discrete and non-aerosol, you can dab on a bit more any time you want to freshen up, even in close quarters.

Sephora has been building up their selection of perfumes in this type of applicator, and you now can get several of your favorites. Plus, the smaller size is usually inexpensive enough that you can try out something new without breaking the bank or worrying about wasting money on something that smells...unfortunate on you.

Sleek, affordable Radius headphones

Remember when the iPod first came out, how those white ear buds were the coolest status symbol of cool coolness you could ever get?

Well, now everyone has them, and it's time for new, cool trendy earphones. For a while we thought it would be Bose, of the exquisite sound and $300 price tag. But those mothers are huge! They make us feel like we're wearing a bad DJ costume on the bus and at the gym.
