Holiday Round-up

Wednesday, November 16, 2011
I loooooove the holidays. I think I may have said that already. But there it is again. It's absolutely my favorite time of year. I've gotten so many inquiries about holiday dress suggestions and I decided to do my round-ups by retailer.

Shopping plus really does require more effort than our straight size sisters. People often ask where I get things and when I tell them they are shocked. The truth is that I shop EVERYWHERE. People are so quick to judge or to say oh I don't like this store or that but there is usually something good everywhere. Even if there is only one piece out of 100 that work for me, it may be a gem that I love and made checking out the store well worth it.

That being said. This round up is from Nordstrom.com - I was so pleasantly surprised at the amount of holiday pieces that I actually wanted. Department stores' plus sections can skew a little older and seemingly be things that "my mom would wear" but taking a closer look at unexpected resources can leave you walking away with arms full of bags!

Here's what I love for holiday from Nordstrom.com

One shoulder dresses.
Textured LBDs
Hard body clutches
Gowns with a little bit of edge
Sequined dresses in forward shapes/patterns
Metallic peep toe pumps
Blush colored accessories
Leather and lace
Wedges that wow
Coats that work well with dresses
Bad-ass bags for evening
Sparkly tops that would work with my new leather shorts (mmhmm you'll see them soon)
Haute pants that show off sexy shoes
Sexy butt kicking boots just in case any of your little cousins get out of line.


**All items featured are from Nordstrom.com - Don't forget to check out Nordstrom Rack in your area for many of the same things deeply discounted! I've gotten everything from Rebecca Minkoff bags to Marc Jacob collection dresses at Nordstrom Rack. Don't sleep!

I'll select a new retailer next week. Stay tuned.
