Fashionista + Shops Coldwater Creek

Tuesday, July 22, 2008

I never really paid attention to some retailers as I wasn't sure who offered Plus Size fashions or who didn't. I was pleasantly surprised by Coldwater Creek's offerings.

Check out this faux wrap top in *the* color for fall - Purple.

This outfit looks like it can transition from spring to summer to early fall with ease.

and, finally, this outfit looks so fresh and summery. Love it.

Also - just a FYI, if you sign up through Mr. Rebates or Ebates, you also get cash back. Not too bad. Have any of you ever ordered from Coldwater Creek? If so, let us know your thoughts in the comments.

Happy Shopping!

Dance All Night With Igigi...

Monday, July 21, 2008

This Flirty Halter Cocktail Dress by Igigi has me pulling a Roger Rabbit while figuring out what events I could wear this to.

I love the detailing and the Brown/Turquoise color combination is divine.

I will say this, Igigi knows how to pull out all the stops when it comes to dresses that rock.

One Dress Style: Many [Store] Options...

Wednesday, July 09, 2008

I saw this Satin Trim Shirtdress at Dress Barn* in both chocolate brown and black the other day while wandering the Outlet shops and fell in love. The ribbon detail. The pleats. The rhinestone buttons. Chic yet professional, no?

However, in true Lys fashion, I talked myself out of it thinking "hmmm... Lys, you already have a killer brown dress from Kiyonna. Remember? And you don't need another black dress." Off hand, I want to say the dress at Dress Barn was $69.99 but I could be wrong.

Then, while perusing the racks at Nordstrom I saw it IN TEAL by Robbie Bee (and it's not on their site yet). A bit pricey over the Dress Barn version but still, delish. (And Teal *is* my favorite color so yes, I might actually pay the $99 for it)

Now the peeps over at The Avenue have this dress in in Fall's go-to color - Violet for $88. (Note: Save 15% off and use coupon code AV81185 through Thursday, July 17, 2008)

Finally, as we profiled before, Jessica London has the same style dress in a chartreuse green as well. (Note: Try to get 50% off with the coupon code JLW4329 by July 11, 2008)

OK Ok OK! I get it - Hey Universe, I'll be picking it up for Philly and double thanks for the color and price point options. What color do you think is hot?

*Dress Barn Woman does not have shopping online so I had to use the Avenue photo for display.
