187 / SNEAK PEEK: ASOS CURVE LINE

I usually don’t post back-to-back but earlier today ASOS posted sneak peek images of some of the pieces from their new plus size range Curve. The images aren’t that big so you sort’ve have to look closely. These pieces are a small portion of the range that will be available for purchase starting at the end of next week. ASOS Curve goes from sizes UK20-26 which is roughly the equivalent of US18-24, but I would wait for the official size chart to make any judgments.

Based on the sneak peek, are you excited, impressed, disappointed or reserving judgment? I know one thing, that blue dress and blue cardigan is something I need! And didn’t I just say that I needed to save money!

128 / SNEAK PEEK: MANIK MAGAZINE

I recently discovered ManiK Magazine, a new magazine for plus size women,  while browsing Garner Style and I am definitely impressed with what I’ve seen so far. The official launch isn’t for a few months but they have a few interesting things up that are worth checking out like photos from Full-Figured Fashion Week, the Fall shoecast for less and an amazing interview with Deb Malkin of plus-size vintage boutique Re/Dress.

They also feature the ‘Trend Pressure’ report and it is making me want that velvet blazer from Alight, a store that I never would’ve guessed.

Their site says:

“ManiK Magazine is an online fashion & lifestyle monthly publication for the stylishly conscious curvaceous woman who craves the utmost of apparel and accessories- never missing a trend. Bringing beauty, style, social, and health editorials together under one domain, ManiK captures the epitome of, “What’s hot – NOW!” while promoting health and wellness.”

Now that is something I can definitely get behind. I can’t wait for the launch, it will definitely be a valuable resource to have.

You can check out the preview issue up now and also fan them on facebook where they’ve posted some behind-the-scenes pictures of their vintage photoshoot.
