Fashionable Plus Size Clothing: One Stop Plus

I've never written about Women's plus size clothing and I feel like i've missed out on some of my readership. I think plus size womens clothing is a great thing especially for the curvier lady and how the media's attention has completely changed about plus size models. I think on the catwalk it's more realistic to use plus size models and that the size 6's they use are just an 'ideal barbie'. Sometimes it really makes me angry that big high-street retailers don't take into account plus size clothing and only sells up to size 12. But high-street retailer Evans gives women affordable fashion as does One Stop Plus.
So I thought i'd show you my fashionable favourites from the site!
One stop plus sell the latest shoes, accessories, men's clothing and women's clothing and these are all from the collection by OSP now available on the site, from 'New York Fashion Week to your next occasion'.

From left to right (Slim-Fit Grey Twill Trousers - £49, Sleeveless Sequined Top - £55, Pale Pink Short Sleeved Dress with Sequins - £109 and Short Sleeved Sequin T-shirt - £39.)
All style available in sizes 14-36.

Which items your favourite? Mines the pale pink short sleeved dress with sequins, I think it'd look great with black tights and heels on a night out!
What's your view of plus size clothing on the high street?

This seasons wedge shoe

I suppose everyone's looking for that perfect item to wear for the 'colour blocking' trend right now. I'm drawn to accessories and shoes. With wedges being so huge right now, I thought of nothing more but to purchase a pair of Fuschia wedges from My 1st Wish. I absolutely love these wedges and i'll be wearing them all summer long!

I've styled my wedges with a matching bag, and a bright blue playsuit both from Matalan.


What do you think of this seasons wedge? Are you going to buy some bright coloured shoes?

That LRD (little red dress) & Desire Clothing Discount Code!

Due to the state of blogger right now, I'm just going to write the post again instead of hope that it'll turn up when I refresh the page. please if you've commented before please comment again as i've not seen the comments yet!

Here is my brand new purchase which was only £25 from Desire Clothing. I think for summer with this colour blocking trend we need to ditch the black dresses and go for a bold colour! This Shift Dress comes in 5 colours. Red, White, Black, Green and Cream. I love how this is a dress you can wear dressed up with a pair of wedge heels and black opaques and dressed down with a pair of brogues & black opaques.

This dress is a replica of one worn by 1/5 of The Saturdays called Frankie Sandford. I love this dress how you can wear it with no jewellery and still look great!

I'm wearing my dress with some Black Chunky Strap Wedges. Which were only £30 from Desire Clothing. I'm absolutely loving
the Footwear section at Desire Clothing I always seem to find a really great bargain!


Also, the lovely people at Desire Clothing have set up a Discount code for all you lovely readers all you have to do is Type in 'fashiontrain' at the checkout for 10% off! yaaaay! *discount code ends on MAY 30TH*

What do you think of LRD's, have you got a pair of strappy wedges?

Shorts and tights

Nicole Richie is doing it. So is Sienna Miller, Kate Moss, Alexa Chung, and Jessica Alba. The Hollywood faction has been getting a leg on the spring and summer shorts trend by pairing their cutoffs with tights now, while there's still a chill in the air.

Sure, celebs are saying yes to the look, but can the rest of us rock the '80s and '90s throwback style?

"I would say that the shorts and tights trend is the new jean for 2011," celebrity stylist Toni Ferrara (Jaime King, Brittany Snow,Sophia Bush) tells StyleList. "Most body types can pull this off with ease, although if you are not a fan of your legs, I'd suggest doing torn up jeans instead. It's very cute to see this look paired with an over-the-knee heel to add a touch of rock 'n' roll."

If you've got legs -- and know how to use them -- you may just want to give it a whirl, because this trend looks to have staying power: Designers including Twenty8Twelve, Trovata, Rag & Bone,Proenza Schouler, Nanette Lepore and Charlotte Ronson all showed shorts and tights on their fall runways. 

We asked the experts for their shorts and tights tips.

From grunge to glam: "I think now the look is edgier, prettier and sexier than during the grunge era," says wardrobe stylist and former "The Biggest Loser" contestant Nicole Brewer. "Now, ladies are going for an effortless look that makes a fashion statement. But the best way to make a statement is by wearing a silhouette that flatters your figure, no matter what fashion trend you embrace."

Martina Brown, head of marketing for Wolford, says women are embracing the style because they want to be sexy without crossing the line and showing too much. 

"Today's trend is more about finding the femininity and modesty of a look, while the grunge era focused on a more androgynous ethos," she tells StyleList.

Ferrera says she thinks the economy plays an intricate part in today's fashion trends. 

"We are all still in the recovery mode of the recession and uncertain about our future, so it would make sense to go into the rebellion-type phase of fashion," she says. "The interpretation of grunge has a modern twist. This look isn't just for the plaid-lovers, it can be dressed up or dressed down."

If you're curvy: "Curvy women can make it work by choosing the right proportions, fabrications and colors to flatter their figure," Brewer says. "Perhaps a longer short could work. And pairing it with an opaque tight of a similar hue to create a tone on tone look and an illusion of a longer, leaner leg. Also, wearing a heel like a wedge to elongate the silhouette could help pull the look off. And the shape of the top is key. Go for a longer tunic or a boyfriend jacket to add a little comfort and style to the look."

Picking the right tights: "It really depends on the shape of hips, thighs and legs," Brewer says. "When you don't have curves, and you want to create them, you can go wild and can combine just about any patterns and textures. But if you want to play up your assets and disguise the rest, keeping lines and colors simple is the way to go. I think it's modern to try opaque tights or styles with delicate, more sophisticated prints."

Wolford's Brown says to look for "dark sheers, knit patterns, woolly opaques and jewel tone opaques."

Paint it black: Brown says a woman can never go wrong with black. "Colors and patterns are great with a simple short, but don't go too wild," she cautions.

Fererra agrees, adding that her favorite tights for this look are black or charcoal. "And you can definitely diversify your looks from sheer to opaque depending on your bravery," she says. "I would stick with a solid color with texture, but colored hosiery is so two years ago."

Dress it up, dress it down: Brown says the look is definitely casual, but tights under shorts can be dressy when done right. 

"A nice high-waited short with a black opaque tight and a heel is a great look," she says. 

Ferrera says she likes a sleek blazer paired with shorts, tights, boots and a fitted graphic T-shirt. "The denim and T-shirt dress down the more formal looking blazer, tights and boots," she says. "Dress up the shorts and tights look by adding a bit of sparkle on top and pair them with great strappy heels. If sparkle isn't your thing, then opt for a cami/cardigan combo and layer on the necklaces. Either way, this can take you from day to night, while keeping you fresh and flirty."
