IGIGI Dress For the Occasion

May 12, 2013 by Samantha Leave a Comment

I love the dresses on the IGIGI website, they are cut to fit women with a chest. As many of you know, I often have a hard time fitting into clothes since my chest is…well, it’s larger then normal. However, the dresses not only come in plus size- but they are actually cut with room for your chest, no matter what size that may be.

IGIGI carries dresses in sizes 12 through 32 and specializes in interesting colors, flattering prints and great plus size silhouettes. They carry separates, tops, bottoms, accessories, jewelry, and coats as well to help round out your wardrobe.

Having a few fancy events to go to, I wanted something that would work with all of them. I loved the style of the Leigh Plus Size Lace Dress in Gold, which felt classic and modern at the same time. I love the lady-like look of the lace, as well.

“We brought the best of the old and the new together in this lace dress. By balancing enticing fabric with modest proportions, the final result speaks to the modern woman who’s in love with all things lady chic. We adore this dress with delicate peep-toe pumps and matching clutch for evening.”

MIKAROSE Dresses Review and Giveaway

April 22, 2013 by Samantha 65 Comments

I am very excited to be bringing you the lovely dresses of MIKAROSE, a company that promotes modesty and beauty in clothing. I really can’t stand it, as you all know, when grown women walk around with all their bits and pieces hanging out and for the world to see. I’m not only a grown woman, and a wife, but also a mother, and I find it in bad taste and disrespectful to show off things that are not meant for everyone to see. The mall, supermarket, or restaurant is not a beach. Treat yourselves with the respect you deserve, and look amazing doing so.

About MIKAROSE:

MIKAROSE is a truly wonderful online shopping experience and clothing company that specializes in modest, elegant and fashionable dresses. The company’s idea evolved when the owners realized how difficult it was to find modest dresses in today’s market. They are sure you have had similar experiences when looking for a modest dress. After many frustrating outings, they formed Mikarose. Their goal is to provide an extensive line of modest dresses, without having to sacrifice style. You will be able to wear the line to a broad range of functions: from everyday events to corporate parties. They can not only meet the needs of women looking for modest wear, but all those who are seeking elegant dresses.

Karina Dresses Review

April 16, 2013 by Samantha 13 Comments

About 2 weeks ago, I had a little surprise. I was cleaning out my flower beds, behind the giant bushes in front of my house, when the rake hit some plastic. No surprise, it’s been a long winter. As I pulled it forward, it “squished”. Ew, all I was thinking was “please don’t be something dead in there”….

I pulled out a gross, slimy bag. Sealed. It had something inside, but all the labels had been lost to weather and being outside for a long time. I cut it open, and to my great surprise, the inside was dry. And was a very, very pretty Karina dress!

It was a really good surprise. The only bummer in all of this, was I started hormone therapy a few months back, as some of you may recall, and I put on 14 Lbs (after all that hard earned weight loss!), so it doesn’t fit me right now. But I have already dropped 2 of them, so it will fit me in no time, I am sure!

Karina Dresses are made in Brooklyn with microfiber blend fabric which is imported. Each Dress has four way stretch, is machine washable and come in limited edition solids and prints. The selection of dresses [Read more…]

Cleavitz- They Have You COVERED- Review and GlVEAWAY

April 3, 2013 by Samantha 22 Comments

Ladies, if you are like me, you are constantly- CONSTANTLY trying to figure out how to keep your “girls” in, or not have so much of them showing. Between certain popular styles and trends, and cuts of clothing, and the fact that I have been very….um, blessed? in the chest area, and I am ALWAYS struggling to keep them in, and covered up. No one needs to see all that, nor should they.

Pulling on t-shirts and tank tops underneath everything is usually what I do to hide my ample bosom, but it’s hot, and this can also be bulky, which I hate. I hate being hot, and I hate looking bulky. Do you know a woman who is like- hey yeah! Bring on the bulk! Seriously. NO. But those little covers that they sell in most stores do NOTHING for me, they cover nothing, and they ride about. Check out “Cleavitz“. I can wear whatever I want, and not be embarrassed, or worried about a “clothing malfunction”.

Heelys – The Skating Sneaker

March 28, 2013 by Samantha 3 Comments

Heelys are the nifty shoes which act as two shoes in one. One shoe is a stylish, skater-type sneaker that is comfortable and modern. The other type of shoe is a skate. There is a pop in/out wheel in the heel which makes your trek a little quicker and more interesting. The wheel lets you roll around, grind, stall, even use ramps and do vertical tricks. The more confident and time you spend with the shoes the more tricks you can pull off.

The newest innovation from Heelys is the Nano. The Nano is a small foot sized board which lets the wearer, carve, cut and zip [Read more…]
