Finding cute and trendy plus size clothes is not easy. If you have looked at some of the well-known stores in your local shopping mall, you know that they seem to think all of us “big girls” enjoy wearing baggy muumuus and large prints. It’s hard to escape. I think I speak for curvy girls everywhere when I say we want to wear the same styles that the skinny girls are wearing, just in a slightly larger size that flatters our figure.

PlusSizeFit.com is the answer to my call. From dressy tops and outerwear to casual tops and pants, it’s a mecca for all things affordable and trendy for the plus size woman. Girls, the bolero is in and this site has them in your size! Check out this gorgeous black and bubbly one to the left, perfect for an evening out on the town. It also comes in red, and ranges from size 1X to 3X.

I am also loving the Sale Rack section, which includes dresses and tops all under $20! Woot! Have you ever noticed the stores at the mall also charge a ridiculous amount for their clothes. $70 for a top that’s not a designer brand? I’m a budget fashionista, people! Another thumbs up is that the site offers free shipping for orders over $100 with the coupon code FREESHIP.

What is your favorite style trend of the moment? Have you visited PlusSizeFix yet? Did they have what you were looking for in your size?

Your web hosting choice for a charity blog such as this one is no easy task. Obviously it cannot be too expensive because we want to give the most amount of profit to Susan G. Komen as we can.

It is always important to do your own research to make the best decision. Of course, sites like Web Hosting Choice make it super easy. They list the Top 10 web hosting sites along with the prices for each one, including special features such as set up fees, data transfer and storage. They even include information on how much notice you have to give to ask for a refund. It doesn’t get much easier.

They offer several other resources and guides that are well worth exploring if you are a first time website or blog owner and are just getting your feet wet. Easy to navigate and find the information you need, this site definitely does the detective work for you so you have more time to get started on that website.

We have been in our new home for a little over a year now. We bought quite a few pieces of new furniture since we moved from an apartment to a house. Those pieces included a custom built dining room table and six chairs, and a beautiful bed with matching bedside tables. We also got a round expandable table for our kitchen that included four chairs.

Now that a year has past, I think that it is time to replace our living room furniture too. Would you believe we do not have any lamps or lamp shades? It’s true. Right now we still have the black leather sofas and glass tables from my bachelorette years. I moved the lamps we did have (Eiffel Towers) into my Paris themed bedroom. I am thinking of changing to beige sofas, so I think black accent lamps would look really sharp. See left for my personal choice. Lombok has a lot of great stylish Eastern inspired furniture, including lighting and accessories. It’s hard to find a lot of these pieces for reasonable prices other places online. They even have a log basket which would be perfect to put near the fireplace in the winter seasons.

I am amazed with the selection of gorgeous pieces they have available. They have a wide assortment of accessories for the home, including laundry baskets. The site is also really easy to navigate, with clearly labeled sections including furniture, lighting, and accessories. I also really like the “get the look” section which shows fully decorated rooms that give you an idea of how the products might look in your own home. The prices seem really reasonable as well.

If you are interested in buying some stylish and classic pieces for your home, check out the selection at Lombok. Pssst… they have a clearance section too!
