Thank you to our Sponsors and Coming Soon!

It is the amazing disappearing woman!  I know, I know, I apologize.  I know you can all relate, life sometimes gets in the way of doing things you love.  It shouldn't be the case but it is reality.

I have a ton of stuff to share with you but instead of blasting you with everything in one day I am going to spread it out over the next few weeks.  Coming soon to a Plus Size Fashion blog near you...

1. A look at the new UK store that just launched this week, Very.com.  Some great finds with shipping to Canada taking only 9 days, and costing $8.99.
2. An interview with Ashaki Charles Designs, a Toronto based design team that is going places in the fashion industry.
3. A product review for neon buddha and Pure Handknit.
4. A shopping party with my girls and earning free clothes at SexyPlus Clothing.
5. A special thank you from my friend.

And to kick if all off a big thank you to my sponsors for the month of October.  We appreciate their support in helping make Plus Size Fashion a success.  I thought it would be fun to take a look at what each one has new in for Fall/Winter:

I'm A VIP Don't Ya Know?

I know I was surprized to learn this too but I am very excited.  Penningtons has invited me to a VIP event this Thursday evening.

It is quite hush hush as to what it is about.  I have only been told to be prepared to be amazed and that I will be one of the first to see an "innovative in-store installation".  What is that you ask?  I don't know BUT it sure sounds interesting and something I don't want to miss.

There is also going to be hors d'oeuvres, professional styling and make-up - sounds like my kind of event.  I will be sure to take lots of pics and tell you all about it.

My fun so far has been announcing to "the dude" everyday how I can't do things because I am a VIP.  "I am sorry, you want dinner made?  Sorry VIP's don't make dinner"  And just incase you are wondering... VIP's don't do dishes, dust, sweep, or walk the dog, but they do expect fresh coffee and warm croissants brought to them in bed.

Strangely, I have heard a few times this VIP thing is going to my head.  Hmmm, maybe I should be more concerned about my head instead of my hips no longer fitting through the doorway.

I will tell you all about the event.  In the meantime, I thought I would share a few Fall pieces from Penningtons.  They also have a Fall Look Book you might be interesting checking out.

New Plus Size Store Opening in Toronto!

I could get used to this!  Another new retail store that caters to plus size woman is opening in Toronto.

You may be familiar with SexyPlus Clothing already, Stefanie has had been selling her clothing online for awhile now and had a few pieces in Maximum Woman. She is now growing her business and is opening an adorable retail shop at 901 Yonge St, Toronto ON (just 4 blocks north of Bloor).

The official Grand Opening is Saturday April 9th, 2011, which you won’t want to miss. There is a $500 Shopping Spree to be won, big savings on New Arrivals and fun events throughout the day.

When I say fun I mean fun, Stefanie and her friend Nina have been documenting the entire store renovation/opening process on YouTube. This latest video cracks me up and really gives you an insight to how fun it will be to shop at the store.



You can see all the videos as http://www.youtube.com/user/SexyPlusClothing

Just alittle info, SexyPlus Clothing will feature fashions and lingerie for sizes 12+. A lot of the clothing lines Stefanie carries are exclusive to her; you won’t find anything like them in the city. The styles she offers range from urban club wear to uniquely feminine with the Pretty Woman line. Her new arrivals include a funky new denim line, sexy summer florals and even a reversible trench coat that is zebra print and hot pink – I have my eye on that!

SexyPlus Clothing will continue to be available online for those of you who can’t make it to her retail location. And for those of you in the US, she also ships to you.

I have gathered the girls together, Saturday we are going shopping at the SexyPlus Clothing Grand Opening and then grabbing lunch to chat about how great we will look in our new finds.

Hope you can make it, and if you do make sure you tell Stefanie, Sherri sent you!

Here are some of the New Arrivals you will find at the store...

Arwen Sun Plus Size Sheath Dress $64.99

Pretty Woman Series: Flirt Dress in Venus Ocean $109.99

Karmic Felicity Plus Size Sweater Dress $39.99

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.

Here are a few of their New Arrivals...

Geo Maxi Dress $109.95

Abby Twist Top - Gallery Print $57.95

Charlotte Cocktail Dress $109.95
