The Queen Loves Torrid!!!

One of my favorite places to shop is Torrid. I can find stylish clothes that actually fit! Apparently I'm not the only one who hearts Torrid. Queen Latifa has been seen rockin' her favorite denim label, Torrid in promo pics for hew new film staring Common titled Just Write which will be released in theaters May 14th, 2010. In the photo Queen is seeing wearing my favorite denim jeans from Torrid the Torrid Graduate Skinny Jean. You can find the Torrid Graduate Skinny Jean at Torrid stores and on-line, what I love about these jeans, is that they fit great, and they also have lengths ranging from extra short – tall, and for a shortie like me that matters big time!

Torrid is also having a great sale just for the next 24hrs on their website. Today only (3/24) they've taken an extra 50% off of their already clearance items! There's some great finds, but this is on-line only so head over today and take a peek and take out that credit card, cause there are lots of great deals!!!

Don't forget to take a peek at the Just Write trailer below:

Time again to update your wardrobe...

It’s that time of year again. Time for the warmer weather, time to shed those layers of clothing, put on the cooler outfits, the brighter colors and bare some more skin. Summer is on the way, and for a lot of us that brings a lot of fears about our wardrobe, and since no diet pill is going to help my wardrobe, it's time to update! I don’t know about you but I’m super self conscious and finding clothing that flatters me and is still stylish at the same time is VERY important when it comes to my clothing and what I wear.

Once again SWAKdesigns.com has come to my attention with some great clothing and outfits for spring and summer, and well heck, they have clothing for all seasons that are reasonably priced, good quality and stylish at the same time. They cater to plus sizes and not just from a size 12 – 18, they carry a variety of sizes from 1 – 6x in all designs and styles.

There are so many choices from basic fashion elements, dresses, tops, skirts, pants and more. There’s something at SWAKdesigns that can fit anyone’s budgets and styles. I think that’s the one thing I’ve noticed when it comes to plus size clothing. A lot of the more fashionable quality clothing comes at a steep price that sometimes even I don’t want to pay. SWAKdesigns has quality clothing at a modest price so that every plus sized girl can afford to look good!

I managed to try out a few different items from their shop. My favorite piece is the Daphne sheer camo hooded top. When I first got this item I did notice a few things, there were a ton of stray threads and even a hole in the pocket seam. I immediately contacted SWAKdesigns and told them about the issue, they were on it and sent me a replacement within a few days that was in MUCH better condition. Great customer service, I didn’t even have to send the first top back to them. This is probably one of the most worn tops that I wear from week to week. It’s soft, comfortable and flattering. It comes in sizes 2 – 7X. This isn’t a baggy fitting shirt. It’s form fitting and very flattering.

I also received the Anastasia Interchangeable Wrap Top. This is a cool top. Have you ever had a top that fit you so perfectly you wish you could have that exact fit with multiple tops? Ever wish that perfect top could be dressed up to wear to a fancy gala in the evening or dressed down to go to brunch with the girls the very next morning? Or how about a top that would make you curves look completely amazing and the envy of many? This is the top that is a MUST HAVE in any girls wardrobe. You can check out the many different ways you can interchange this top by clicking here. My only issue is that as a short girl, this top doesn’t work too well with me, it’s more like a dress than a top, but it’s ok, I’ve re-worked it to work just perfectly for me.

I also received a pair of LPR Bootcut Denim jeans. I do find that their jeans fit a bit on the small size compared to my usual size of jeans. Also the only other suggestion I would make to SWAKdesigns is to have jeans for petite girls like myself, or have a variety of inseam sizes. As a short girl, my pair of LPR Bootcut Denim Jeans will have to be altered as they’re much too long for me to wear. However the jeans themselves are great, they have a slight stretch to them and are very comfortable and soft.

Buying online might not be the best experience at times, but I found my experience with SWAKdesigns to be great, great shipping times, great customer service and a great product. They not only ship to the USA either, check out their website www.swakdesigns.com for more information and great clothing.

WIN IT!!!!

SWAKdesigns is offering a $50 Gift Certificate to SWAKdesigns to one of my lucky readers. All you have to do to be entered is head over to the SWAKdesigns website and let me know what your favorite item is that they offer.

Once you've done that, you have pleanty of other chances to gain an entry by doing one or all of the following:

IGIGI puts some spring in your step...

Spring is here! That means time for a wardrobe upgrade, throw out those bulky winter clothes and step into something a little more sleek, stylish and colorful. It seems lately I’ve been wearing a lot of things out of my normal comfort zone, more specifically a lot of dresses.

One of the places I love to go to for great styles is IGIGI they’ve got the most stylish, beautiful dresses that any plus sized girl could ask for, not only are their models girls that would actually be wearing these dresses, but finding the perfect dress for your body type is as easy as ever.

There’s no more guessing, will this look ok on me? Will it fit me? IGIGI tries to get it right the first time and help you out by providing an ‘information’ page of sorts for finding your right body shape. Once you’ve done that, take a look at the dresses you’re interested in and you’ll find the symbols for all the different body shapes that dress is best for. It’s a big help especially when shopping online and not being in the store to try the dress out. So far IGIGI hasn’t been wrong with my shape size or dress style!

Checking out their new spring styles the dress that popped right out at me was the Daniella Print Knot Dress. With just a hint of color and a timeless yet trendy look, this dress is perfect for any playful or sophisticated occasion. The Daniella Print Knot Dress features a plunging V-neckline, a draped knot body, ¾ sleeves and is made from a silky jersey material. As soon as I got this dress I slipped it right on and it felt great on my skin, fit perfectly in all the right places, and I couldn’t wait to get out and show it off!

The Daniella Print Knot Dress isn’t the only dress I had my eye on, and IGIGI will be one of the places on my list for my next clothing purchase this spring and summer. Trendy looks that fit my budget, my style and my body, everything I could ask for all in one place!

To take a look at all that IGIGI offers you can take a look at their website located at: www.igigi.com

WIN IT!!!

As a special offer, IGIGI has opted to give my readers a chance to win the exact dress that I just love, the Daniella Print Knot Dress; you can look and feel beautiful this spring season in one great dress. IGIGI has created a special ‘landing page’ exclusively for A Wrestling Addicted Mommy readers on their website where you will have a chance to win the Daniella Print Knot Dress. All you have to do is head over to their website and fill out the special entry form. The giveaway is open until May 4, 2009 and the winner will be announced RIGHT HERE on May 5th.

The Perfect Dress for All Occasions...

I’ve finally found it, the perfect little black dress. This is something that actually has been missing from my wardrobe, shameful isn’t it? It’s taken me this long to find a figure flattering, PERFECT dress for every and all occasions, but I’m glad for the wait because this dress is just the perfect thing, why bother settling for less right?!?

The Marilyn Convertible Dress from Monif C.Plus Sizes is THE dress! It’s the only black dress you’ll ever need no matter what the occasion. The Marilyn Convertible Dress was inspired by vintage dresses, but vintage is far from what this dress is. The classic style can be dressed up or down, or tied in so many different ways; you never have to wear the same dress twice. The Marilyn Convertible Dress is just that, convertible. So far Monif C. Plus Sizes have counted 22 different ways to tie this dress, I’m sure with some experimenting and your own personal style you can find many more. There are limitless possibilities with this dress.

When I first got my black Marilyn Convertible Dress I was a little confused as exactly what I was to do, but there’s help. Monif C. and her models have come up with some great YouTube videos to give you examples on just how to wear this fashionable and stylish dress. You can check out the first instructional video here as well as a second instructional video here, I’m sure we’ll be offered many more instructional videos as time goes on. You can also view some great customer pictures by visiting the Monif C. blog.

I am literally in love with my Marilyn Convertible. I’m not really a girl who likes to wear a lot of dresses, but this one is going to get a lot of wear from me. It flatters my figure, and can not only be worn as a dress, but I can also manipulate it into ways to wear as a cute top with some jeans or leggings. The great thing about this dress is for those of us with actual boobs, we can wear a full support bra underneath and find countless ways to ‘hide’ it by tying the dress in so many different styles/ways.

Retailing for $195.00 the Marilyn Convertible Dress is well worth the money, think of it. So far 22 different ways to wear this dress have been counted, that’s 22 different dresses you’d have to buy to get each style if purchased separately, you’re saving a heck of a lot of money on one dress that can last you through every occasion throughout the year and no one will even know it’s the same dress. The Marilyn Convertible Dress comes in a short style and a longer style as well as a variety of colors. The dress is made of a luxurious jersey material that not only looks great but feels so soft on your skin.

Although the Marilyn Convertible Dress is targeted at plus size women, the dress does fit all sizes from a size 8-24.

For more information or to take a peek at all the other gorgeous dresses you can find at Monif C. Plus Sizes visit their website www.monifc.com.

Stylish and Beautiful for the plus sized gal!

I love fashion, and with being a plus sized girl, sometimes good no, make that great looking stylish fashion is hard to find especially when it comes to dresses and more ‘dressed up’ clothing. I often find that when trying to find a great dress, a lot of the things available locally are either just plain ugly, too much print, or look like a tent, and that’s not what I want or need as a bigger girl.

It seems like most of the great looking clothes that we can find as plus size girls, happen to be online but it’s really hard sometimes to judge if it’s right for you, your shape and body type, it often intimidates people from ordering online, especially if there’s no local store nearby that you can return the clothing to.

I’ve found a great online store where you can feel pretty confident and take a lot of the guess work out when trying to find that perfect dress or outfit. IGIGI Clothing offered me to review their site and one of their gorgeous dresses; of course I accepted their clothing is not only beautiful but stylish as well. I was able to review their Georgia “Two-in-One” Dress. I loved this dress from the time I viewed it on the website, nothing like I have ever owned before. I’m not really a girl that likes to wear dresses for the main reason, they never fit me right.

Thanks to IGIGI I was able to view a variety of dresses that were right for my body type/shape, I also love the fact that the models are plus size models and that you can also view a short clip of the model in the dress, with movement. It gives you a great view before you buy it to see if it’s exactly what you’re looking for.

The Georgia “Two-in-One” Dress is as their website states “ultra chic and feminine”. The high-waisted pencil skirt and ruffled Italian Georgette blouse is just gorgeous and perfect for someone like me who has a diamond shape. The sleeves are ¾ lengths and the blouse is sheer. The just below-the-knee pencil skirt has strategically placed seams that give a very flattering look. The dress was the perfect fit….Almost…I’m a short girl (standing at only 5’0”) so my dress is off to be altered lengthwise to fit my height.

I can say with honesty, I was a little afraid of the high-waisted skirt at first, as well I’m a woman who has had children and have became bigger since then, I have my rolls, I have my lumps and was afraid the high waist would just accentuate those inside of hide them, but I can say without a doubt that this dress does a woman justice! It flatters your body like it should in all the right places.

I know with the holiday season approaching, a lot of us are looking for some great holiday dresses and outfits, IGIGI is probably one of the better sites to take a look at if you’re looking for something a little more stylish yet still classy at the same time and with the features above that I mentioned like the ability to identify the right dress for your body shape you get to take a lot of the guess work out. I’d like to personally thank IGIGI for helping us bigger girls look even more beautiful.

To take a look at all that IGIGI offers you can take a look at their website located at: www.igigi.com

WIN IT!!!

As a special offer, IGIGI has opted to give my readers a chance to look and feel beautiful as well for this upcoming holiday season; they’ve created a special ‘landing page’ exclusively for A Wrestling Addicted Mommy readers on their website where you will have a chance to win a dress of your choice from IGIGI.

SWAKdesigns


Once again, I've found another great place where you can get some fashionable and comfortable plus size clothing. SWAKdesigns.com is a great online retailer for us plus sized gals to shop. Not only do they carry a variety of sizes (1x - 6x) but they carry a great variety of designs, styles apparel and even accessories.

Summertime is here and who needs to be worrying about having clothes that don't fit, don't look good and don't keep you cool? I know I sure don't. I want to wear nice looking clothes that fit me right, keep me cool and keep me looking good at the same time.

With choices from basics, dresses, tops, skirts, pants and more you have a wide range to shop from and there's something for everybody's style. One of my favorite items from SWAKdesigns is the Blair Top ($26.99). The Blair top is not only very comfortable and affordable, but its stylish too. This is a must have for your summer wardrobe. On the straps are a button accent to add some style and flair so it's not just a basic tank. The Blair top is made with a combination of polyester/rayon and spandex which gives you some stretch and comfort at the same time. You can find this item in sizes 2x - 7x and it also comes in 3 different colors white, black and blue.

Paired up with my Blair Top is the perfect Gaucho Pant ($32.99). I own a pair of these Gaucho pants in black, and it just goes perfect with my Blair top. I can wear them casually or even for a night out to dinner. These pants will go with so many different tops and shoes that I own, I'll get so much wear out of them. Not only are they comfortable and cute but they are lightweight and great for a summer day or night. They have a wide waistband and delicate ruching on the sides. The Gauchos are a blend of 90% polyester and 10% spandex. Sizes range from a 1x - 6x and they come in 6 different colors.

I know a lot of times people are a little intimidated about purchasing online because of sizing. My experience with SWAKdesigns clothing is that it fits very true to size, but their sizing information on their website can help you along the way if you're not exactly sure. They even give you tips on how to measure the appropriate way to get the best sizing. Best of all about SWAKdesigns, they're affordable and shipping is only $5 via Fedex in the USA. They also ship WORLD WIDE which is not an option for a lot of other plus size stores online, check out their shipping rates for comparison in the country your in.

Great clothes for beautiful curvy women

As I've said many times, I'm always on the lookout for places that carry clothing, hip clothing, stylish clothing, in fashion clothing, to those of us who are extra curvy, those of us who are 'plus sized' and wish to still look good in what we wear.

Torrid is one of those places who care what we look like. They offer the cutest cutting-edge apparel and accessories for women who are sizes 12-26. I've been to the Torrid store in our local mall maybe once, for reasons that I don't typically visit the mall often, and the last time I was in the store I didn't find anything I liked, however since then Torrid has grown (yes it's been that long since I've been to the mall) and their clothing has evolved, I just love browsing their online store, which carries so many things that are more my style than some other 'plus sized' stores I've found, my only dilemma is that I've always been afraid to order clothes online, what if they don't fit? I'd rather try them on.

I was fortunate enough to have Torrid send me some items from their clothing line, and I can say. Their clothing is true to size. I let them know my current size and the clothes all fit great! From my dress (which my husband loves on me, pictured left), to my tops (one pictured right), to the bathing suit, everything is stylish, a great fit and comfortable. I also love that Torrid carries name brand clothing like Baby Phat, Apple Bottom, Dereon and more. These items I can rarely find in other stores, but on Torrid online, I can order them up and they're on their way. If something doesn't fit me right, I can just bring it back to the store, easy!

Torrid.com is a very user friendly website, which allows you to browse their collection however way you find easiest. Every item has a clear picture that shows you what their items look like, on a real and actual plus sized girl, no skinny models showing of clothing that you would wear. Torrid makes sure that their clothing is represented by those who would actually wear it.

They have a varied assortment of merchandise not only including apparel but also accessories, jewelry, lingerie, shoes and they also carry a new bridal line. Torrid also always has some great sales and clearance items to be found as well. All of their items are centered around various lifestyles of young women today, they strive to carry 50% of private label and 50% of well known fashion brands like I mentioned above.

Torrid has their website www.torrid.com where you can order online in the comfort and privacy of your home, but they also have over 100+ stores nationwide, check out their store locater to find a store near you.
