Unwrapping the Online Shopping Spree - Simply Be

It's been so long since I did one of these - all my shopping has been at Goodwill lately. I hope you enjoy this video of my recent shopping with Simply Be. The items are linked on the original shopping post.



PS - I'm still trying to decide if I want to take that blue dress to a tailor b/c I love it so much and I know it will be perfect for work.

Unwrapping The Online Shopping Spree - We Love Colors

Featured In This Video:

• Plus Sized Nylon/Lycra Fishnets, turquoise
• Plus Size Nylon/Lycra Tights, charcoal

Additional Info:

I spoke with We Love Colors and they told me the currently the fishnets only come in one size, so that explains that! I think that they would fit a wide variety of sizes. Just so you can relate, I am currently wearing a size 20 and am 5'6" tall. So if you are that size or smaller and/or that height or shorter, they should fit you

Curvy Girl Contest:

Just for fun, We Love Colors has a Curvy Girl of the Month Contest, where every month one lucky person receives 3 pairs of We Love Colors hosiery and is featured on their Facebook page. I am definitely going to submit my photo! You should too.

We Love Colors sent me both of these tights to review. All thoughts and opinions expressed are my own. I would like to say thank you to We Love Colors for giving me the chance to review their tights, especially since I have been wanting to try them out!

Unwrapping the Online Shopping Spree: IGIGI

Not too long ago I did some online shopping at IGIGI. Now it's time to unwrap the package and try things on!

Unwrapping the Online Shopping Spree: Domino Dollhouse

Last week you saw the great things that I ordered from Domino Dollhouse. And now it's time to unwrap the box and try everything on. Are you excited? You bet your pink petticoat that I am!

Unwrapping the Online Shopping Spree: Tikkr Watches

You may remember that I got a Tikkr Watch as part of the Texas Style Council Conference swag. What you may not know, is that it's a watch where you can swap out the band to a ton of different colors. I decided to check out my options thanks to a recent sale. Extra bonus in this video? Sound effects coming from the other room.

Unwrapping a Package: Close 2 Your Heart

A few weeks ago, I was reading a post on Bombshell Beauty where she was wearing a necklace that really piqued my interest. I left a comment about the necklace and the next thing I knew, the maker of the necklace, Close 2 Your Heart, had sent me two of them! I made this video review with the one for me. Stay tuned to see how you can win the other one.

Unwrapping the Online Shopping Spree: City Chic II

I mentioned recently that I've become addicted to City Chic clothing as a great new source for plus size clothing. And that's true, I've ordered a ton of stuff from them lately. But I hadn't gone through all my new purchases to check for quality and fit until now. My latest video encompasses 2 different purchases from City Chic that I opened and tried on all at once.

Items Reviewed in the Video:

• Romina dress
• white tuxedo jacket
• mauve puff Sleeve Top
• Florentine dress
• Ikat maxi
• tie dye tunic
• black knee cargo short
• white elbow shrug
• spot pencil skirt

Updates:

• I wore the black shorts all day long the next day and the length and the rise in the back did not bother me at all. Also, they retained their shape without any sagging or bagging.
• After watching the video, I determined that the spot pencil skirt is not flattering to my personal figure and I would only be able to wear it with a jacket. Sigh. I'm really sad about that, but I guess I'll have to return it.

Tuesday Tips With Tina: Stretching Your Shoes in the Freezer

Remember when I bought those shoes that were a tiny bit too tight? Well, today I'm going to fix that without having to break them in.

Tuesday Tips: Fitting Swollen Feet Into Shoes

I don't know about you, but as spring arrives and the temperatures rise, my feet start to swell and my shoes fit a little tighter. Here's my tip to help.

Unwrapping the OSS: Yours Clothing

I picked up a few things from the British plus size brand Yours Clothing quite a long time ago. They finally arrived and I finally had time to post a review.

I have not yet returned the items I am not keeping, but I would like to point out that after I mentioned that I had received damaged items on Twitter, their media person informed me that they would reimburse me for the return shipping since the items were damaged. Since I haven't sent them back yet, I can't confirm that they actually will reimburse or how quickly it will happen. I will update this post when I have more details.

Unwrapping the OSS - Size Appeal

Size Appeal very generously sent me a couple of things from their website to try out. I selected a shirt and pair of shoes, both of which I really liked the style of.

After making this video, I wore the shirt to work and I got several compliments from people who loved the color and cut of it. And I have to admit that the fabric didn't bother me once I mixed it in with the rest of my clothes. However, I do wish that it was at a slightly lower price point based on the quality of the material.

Gift in the Mail: TxSCC Swag

The Texas Style Council Conference is coming up this weekend and I haven't even started packing yet. Yikes! I am getting really excited about going to Austin and meeting 100 other Texas bloggers. And you know what gets me even more excited? SWAG!

Unwrapping the Online Shopping Spree: 6pm Shoes

I don't usually buy shoes online b/c my feet are pretty tough to fit, but I couldn't pass up a sale that was going on at 6pm, so I bought not one, not two, but 8 pairs of shoes. Let's see what I thought when they arrived.

Generous Friends

I must be the luckiest girl in the world b/c not only did I get a package from Sara last week, I also got a package from Kimberly of Fab Finds Under 50. Kimberly is great at finding discounts and finding great Target new stock items at Goodwill. Thanks, Kimberly!! You rock!
