From domino leggings to this killer combo above, these are NOT your run of the mill plus size ensembles. I hope this collection does well so that there are even more incredible collections in the future!

It's almost here...
...July 9th. Evans, a UK plus size boutique, releases the first collection from Beth Ditto. I've been oogling over the previews and I have to tell you: I will be pigging out on this stuff.

Biggles!
I'm a big girl. I really am...there's no way around it, over it, under it...it's a sheer fact. I am also, however, completely against looking boring, sad, and god forbid, OLDER than I'm supposed to. I started working on Polyvore to make sets with all stuff that I could wear...plus size everything. It's kinda a far more difficult challenge than I expected, but I perservered. Thus, now I give you Biggles. Yep...no shame in my biggle game. Click on the set to get the shopping details!
This would be a great outfit for any casual day...shopping, school, hanging out with friends...it's SUPER comfortable and all of the pieces are great investments with a lot of outfit switching potential. I'm a huge fan of PINK, as you may know, so this is my favorite pop color to pair with basic black. My style for myself usually includes all black or mostly black clothing with TONS of color in my accessories!
Got some amazing plus size products you'd like me to use/see/link to? I'M DYING TO SEE THEM! Share in the comments section.

Tarina Tarantino's ELECTRIC BUTTERFLY COUTURE WATERFALL NECKLACE
This is my new obsession. It's over the top, colorful, and the perfect way to kick off summer. Now...does anyone have $1225 to lend me?

House Hunting
My Fiance and I have officially become SICK of apartment living. After a crazy outburst from the neighbor below (the ones who's music rattles our windows), it's really REALLY become clear that we are getting too old for this crap. The current house market has also made it possible for us to attempt a house purchase, so all the more reason! We searched around Fullerton yesterday and collected names/companies to dig through once we got home. We'd like to move to Fullerton, but are open to Old Town Orange or Pasadena...though, both have proven to be too pricey. Fullerton has lots of home options and, as we discovered, lots of unique looking, fun colored houses!
Since neither one of us has done this before, we really don't even know where to begin. We don't have $50,000 lying around for a down payment, but I know there are loan options and all that jazz...though, the thought of handling it makes my head spin!!
Anyways, this is my house wish list...and I've been able to find things with ALMOST all of these wants, if you can believe it!
Total Max Price (from what I gather based on "approximate" monthly price): $300,000
- Central Air
- 3+ bedrooms
- 1+ bathrooms
- At least 1,100 sq ft (the more the better, of course)
- Decent Kitchen size (we've been living in tiny kitchen HELL)
- Indoor washer/dryer hook up
- 2 Car Garage
- Pool (oh yes, I've seen a few well below the max price WITH a pool...wanted, but not necessary)
- Fenced back yard for Popple
- Walk in Closets OR a 4th Bedroom (oh yes, a dressing room would be DIVINE).
Things I really could care less about: new paint, hardwood floors, close proximity to schools, and crown molding. Yes, I realize all of these things add to the value, but I'll be re-painting for sure and the other ones aren't that important to me...at all.
If any one has any tips or advice, I would LOVE to hear it =)

Inspiration Against Defeat
So, Prop 8 was upheld in our state yesterday. It's mind boggling, it really is. We can't change it instantly, but what we can do is be ourselves, live our lives and put our money in the RIGHT places. Support queer friendly stores and companies and the sheer force of American capitialism will be enough for the American "people" to change their minds.
I can tell you that Hot Topic, where my fiance works, supports domestic partnerships and is run by several "out" higher ups. Yes, they are quite large and have some questionable buying practices, but one issue at a time =) Lush has amazing, healthy products AND is very outspoken about gay rights! Anyone work for a great organzation that deserves our money? Leave a comment and let me know!

Shopping Junkie: Shana Logic
In addition to the style profiles, I'm going to feature some of the most amazing stores on the net. I love stores that have unique items. As a trained buyer myself, I appreciate the level of research that goes into presenting a truly original product mix and nothing makes me happier than a shop FULL of things I've never seen before!
The first Shopping Junkie profile is for: Shana Logic! This is an amazing web shop, filled with handmade goodies from all over the world. From food scarves to ruler bracelets, this shop is playful and whimsical to the max. Their focus is to find independent artists and products...and then to present their products to a larger audience. Here are some of my favorite products from their store!

Virtual Wall of Babes: Man Love Edition
Oh, when obsessions strike. Joe and I started watching Torchwood after hearing that James Marsters (aka Spike) had a role on the show. After a bit more research, we found out that he wasn't going to be on until the second season. In trying to pinpoint what episodes he was featured in, I came across some more details of what his role in the show would be. I was tickled to learn that he would be playing Jack Harkness's former lover/time traveling partner!! A quick image search and I bring you the virtual wall of babes "Man Love" edition.
Try not to pass out at the hotness.
