Plus Size Shopping at The Hudson's Bay
The other day I took my bored self into The Hudson's Bay and was delightfully surprised! It was heaven seeing designs from Elie Tahari, Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Evans, EDIT by Jeanne Beker, and the Jessica Simpson collection offered up some great things.
They have a great sale going on right now and I suggest you all take advantage of all the sales going on in January. I definitely had to indulge so here are some of my picks:
The first two pictures are from Jessica Simpson. It's a gorgeous jersey hoody with fringe on the shoulders (I got it in black) a must for days I party like a rockstar. And for a great teddy boy look I picked up this sleeveless peacoat from EDIT by Jeanne Beker (pictured above). It'll serve me well during this confused climate. I also got a 3/4 sleeve black shift by Elie Tahari with sculptured shoulders, an exposed zipper and leather piping; and a great red tunic by Evans.
All in all my trip was successful. I'm excited about the pieces The Bay is carrying and especially thankful to their buyer. Keep up the good work! While all the locations have plus sizes I do believe the location and Yonge and Bloor has the best selection in their "Above Average" section. My best advice is to spend a day "Bay" hopping pick up some accessories while you're at it and embrace the luxury!

Ugh! These outfits have the name Karen written all over them! Clothing will be the death of me! On another note, these are great clues for friends and family looking for Christmas gifts. Wink, wink!

Eloquii by The Limited
Hi Loves,
I was hesitant to check out Eloquii by The Limited because career-wear really isn't my thing but once I got a look at their gorgeous tuxedo jacket I had to see more. Right now they only ship to the US but I'm sure we can rally around getting them include Canada!
