Silhouette Ceramic Flat Iron by NuMe
My old flat iron conked out mid-hair styling a couple months ago which, with my wavy/frizz-prone hair, was a big problem. Big sigh of relief when NuMe sent over a whole slew of hair styling tools - including the Silhouette Ceramic flat iron. It's lightweight, heats quickly and evenly, and the temperature goes up to a nice, hot 410 degrees.
This is the first flat iron with which I've been able to master not only straightening but also curling - something I'm excited about because my new haircut really responds well to that particular technique. And the fact that the black finish has a little sparkle embedded in it doesn't hurt either.
New spring haircut! I had 12" cut off - talk about feeling lighter!

I've been looking for a small (but not too small) cross body bag for a few months now - and I fell in love with this one, from JCP. Yes, JC Penney. I was walking through their store in Des Moines with my mom and spotted this bag. It's available in the most beautiful range of colors, from grass green to turquoise and a rich bright pink.
I went with cobalt blue because it's practically a neutral - but better. The size is perfect for my plus size frame; it's not so small that it disappears when I pull it on. Perfect for sticking a few of the basics I need to walk around my neighborhood. I realized after getting the bag home that the designer is Lulu Guiness...whom I'm a big fan of! All of my glasses are by Lulu Guiness, and I'm excited to discover more of her accessories line at JCP in the future.
Leggings Under Tunics
Thanks to the progressive nature of Minnesota weather, I don't typically jump straight from winter tights to summer bare legs. No, there's a style step in between the two - leggings. Not as much coverage as tights, obviously, but still enough to keep from freezing in 40 degree warm-ups.
All of my outfits here, lately, have featured leggings under short dresses - and it's a look I'll be into for the next few weeks. I know a lot of plus size women feel unsure of leggings, thinking their ankles will look like cankles. It's a valid concern, and one that I combat by pairing mine with heels instead of flats. Leggings that end at the ankle -instead of the lower calf - can also create a more enlongated appearance.
Flowey Skirts
I've been looking forward to pulling this silk, swirly skirt out of storage - where it's been resting alongside its twin in a cream color- since last summer. They're light and breezy and so much fun to wear. This was a pretty popular style last year, and I picked up the skirts from Talbots' plus size section. I'm hoping to add to my collection this year - I'd love a green version.
I'm going to pair the skirts with stripes, polka dots, tank tops and wedge sandals this spring.
TOMS Wedge Sandals
Speaking of sandals...this is the pair that I'm saving up for this season: TOMS Oahu Strappy Wedges. I just recently realized TOMS come in size 12, which in a sandal usually works for my large, large feet.
