Shopping at the New SexyPlus Clothing Store

As of April 9th, the retail store for SexyPlus Clothing officially opened in downtown Toronto (901 Yonge St.)  The Grand Opening was such a fun afternoon I spent with my girlfriends Liz and Laurie.  Stefanie, owner of SexyPlus Clothing and her super blogger sidekick Nina were gracious hosts.

There were fun fruity drinks, treats to keep our energy up and Jessica Sheppard singing to people on the street and customers in the store.  Check her out, she is a fantastic local talent that will be going places.

Liz, Laurie and I took our time browsing the store, challenging each other to try on things we wouldn't normally have tried.

On my first walk through the store I had looked at the Ruffle Shuffle Top, Liz and I both agreed there was too much going on with the colour, pattern and ruffles.  Suzanne, helping at the store that day convinced me to try it on,  saying she had it and loves it.  Wow, was I shocked, it hides everything!  I hold most of my weight in my stomach and with the Ruffle Shuffle top you can't tell.  I totally thought with the ruffles laying on my stomach it would add inches but I was so wrong. It is my new favourite!

I tried on a few things from the Pretty Woman line and was happy to see the sizing was a true plus size fit.  I wear a 3x/4x.  I should also mention the quality of Pretty Woman... really nice to the touch with enough stretch in the fabric to make it super comfortable but not too much that it looks sloppy.

I also purchased the Arwen Sun Plus Size Sheath Dress, which I have had my eye on for sometime now

and this little pink number I plan to wear as a top:

Each of us left the store with a few pieces which was really good because the all wear different sizes and have very different body shapes.  The rest of the afternoon was spent discussing how awesome we will look in our new clothes over yummy mexican food.
I know there are a ton of new arrivals to be posted to the SexyPlus Clothing online store so if you are not in the Toronto area don't worry you will beable to place an order soon.

My only criticizim was that I didn't win the $500 Shopping Spree!  I had it spent already :)
Two thumbs up to the new SexyPlus Clothing store.

Satin Woods Boutique Showroom Grand Opening!

Have you ever heard of Port Stanley? Me neither. It is a quaint beach town south of London, Ontario. You may not have heard of it but I think a lot of plus size women will soon be taking a trip to visit the new showroom of Satin Woods Boutique.

They have new arrivals arriving often and cater to sizes 14 to 40.

As I said I haven’t been there yet (keyword yet) but I have seen pictures (see below) and been in close contact with Shannon and Jeff as they prepare for the Grand Opening March 26th.

This family run business promises a unique shopping experience for plus size women. You will be able to shop in an intimate and elegant setting, built on the belief that every woman is beautiful, regardless of size.

They promise personalized service and honest fashion advice. Shannon and Jeff want everyone to leave with the perfect garment, as if it were made just for that customer. They understand that having the right fit can add to a woman’s confidence and make a tremendous difference inside and out. Gone are the days we buy something just because it “kinda” fits.

At the showroom they will also be offering FREE private fashion parties. Shop like a celebrity, gather up the girls and organize a shopping event that is only you and your friends.

If all this wasn’t incentive enough to travel to Port Stanley, the Satin Woods Boutique also has a loyalty program. You earn points on your online and showroom purchases that you can use on future orders.

And when am I going shopping at Satin Woods Boutique? I thought it would be fun to plan a girl’s day. Enjoy a nice leisurely drive, do some shopping, grab a nice lunch, and explore Port Stanley a bit, make a full day of it.

I have 100% confidence that Shannon and Jeff will make it worth the drive.

Don’t forget if you are unable to visit the showroom you can continue to shop online and sign-up for their monthly newsletter. You will be entered into their $50 monthly draw.
