Nation LTD Launches Plus Sizes
Nation LTD Plus Sizes by Jen Menchaca is after my own heart. I live in knits, and as a plus size knit buyer for many years there is nothing I loved more than drapey shapes that skim over your figure. I love that Nation LTD is using high-quality fabrics and simple silhouettes, my favorite being the “Oregon Tee”. These [...]

2012 NYFW Fall RTW: Falguni and Shane Peacock
I am obsessed with Falguni and Shane Peacock’s A/W 2012 collection. It was dark, intricate, and inspiring. I can honestly say I liked everything I saw at this show, however, I may be bias because I love anything with intricate detail, cut-outs, sheer, and a good print. Also, the whole space-age feel was/is so interesting [...]

Reem Acra was not a planned show for me, but I was lucky enough to stumble upon an invite last minute! I am very lucky I did. Her work is so classic with the perfect amount of drama. She started out with a few separates with classic and clean cuts, then the amazing gowns began [...]

The collection had a lot of great fur pieces and even better movement. I am a [...]
