Plus size fashion

Plus size fashion

It used to be that women who are large in frame had great difficulty finding clothes and being fashionable was probably the last thing on their mind.  But times have changed and their needs have being taken noticed of in the fashion industry.

As a result, no longer do our plus size women have to look frumpy, unattractive and be contented with wearing baggy clothes.  Because these days, there are many boutiques and online stores which offers a full range of chic and trendy dresses, tops, pants, skirts and even lingerie for those wearing size 12 and above.

Handmade jewelry from Thailand

Bracelet, 'Captivating'

This modern and feminine cool blue turquoise cuff bracelet is designed and handmade by Anusara Konkam from Thailand who is currently studying in the final year of a vocational degree in accounting. 

Anusara loves art and nature and her interest in handmade jewelry actually started when she was a child, weaving jasmine garlands which were sold to help support her studies.

Ted Baker Camouflage Diamante Bag

I love camo couture.  I don’t really care if it is so totally out of season already.  Wear it sparingly, like in the form of accessories and no one should complain it’s too loud and off fashion.

Which was why I was totally drawn to this hip Ted Baker camouflage bag I saw at Vivo City a month ago.  I especially like its contrasting pink stitching and diamante rivet detailing.  Very glam looking.  But as I was in a hurry, I didn’t buy it then.  Huge mistake.  Because when I went back about a week ago, it was gone. 

Quality mid-priced leather bags

Today, we are happy to have Imp of Faerie Land, a self-confessed bag snob, sharing her views on locally available mid-priced leather bags in the range of S$100 – $500, and showing us her all-time favourite pink leather tote. 

Lookout for quality stitches and interiors 
I find quality extremely lacking in the mid-priced bags available in Singapore.

As a matter of fact, mid-priced bags are rarely made of leather.  They are usually done in synthetic leather that flakes off after a couple of months.
