I'm on the fence, people.
b&lu sent out their email announcing the new arrivals and some have made want to buy, some have made me shake my head going "WTH" and then this Emila wrap blouse. I'm on the hunt for a great red wrap blouse, but this one has me a bit confused.


What say you - Yay or Nay?

It's a fashion post! It's a fashion post!

B & Lu (bandlu.com) ~ Plus Size On Trend

I am new to the b&lu bandwagon. Lys has purchased items (snagging a sweater I really really wanted) and extols the virtues of the b&lu. I've perused several times. Last week, I took the plunge. Let's review, shall we?


Item #1 ~ the Jacey Jacket (silver or gold - I got gold) - $26.00

Gorgeous jacket! I ordered a 3x, which fits fine across my back and shoulders - my trouble areas. However, it doesn't button up. Looking at the website photos, the way the jacket fits the model is how it fits me. I'm okay wearing the Jacey Jacket open over a shirt. Seems well made, material is good; the color is more of a dirty/burnished gold color. I'll keep it! Grade: A-


Item #2 ~ the Willa Hoodie (sage) - $38.00

Love at first sight! Ruffles? Love! Deep V-neck? Love! Stripes? Love! I ordered a 3x and it fits just how I like a casual shirt to fit - a bit loose, very comfortable. The V-neck is deeeep. If you're daring enough, wear a plunge bra and flaunt the cleavage. If you're me, wear a lacy cami or tank under it. It's a nice light-weight material. I'll keep it! Grade: A


Item #3 ~ Kylie Top - $28.00

Oooh, I love this shirt! Again, I ordered 3x thinking it wouldn't be as snug as described. Yeah, not so much. No matter - it's a darling shirt! I just won't wear it to work. The material is thin, so black bra is recommended. I'm pretty sure I'll keep this shirt; but I'll let it live in my closet for a few days and see if it's something I reach for. Grade: B-


Item #4 ~ the Vera dress $36.00


I love this dress. I don't love sequins. Looking at the dress on the model, I thought "Hmm. Not so bad. I could do it." I can't. Too much with the sequins and too close to my neck. The material is gorgeous, soft; the dress fits beautifully and is so comfortable. But the sequins? I just can't do it. It's going back.

I hope you check out B & Lu ~ great stuff, with some stuff in 4x and/or 5x.

Spring Has Sprung at B&Lu...

Saturday, March 22, 2008

To quote Hotfessional: Oh.My.Holy.Hell. I think I have found fashion heaven.

While over at the Pretty Pear earlier, I saw a ad for B&Lu. One of my favorite tops is from B&Lu - super comfy and super chic. So when I saw the new arrivals - I was in love.

Here are some of my favorites:





Kenna Wrap Blouse (I'll take sassy red, but it also comes in black and white.)



Tropez Dress (Dress it up or dress it down)


Bustier Dress (Now this is a bit of za-za-zu, don't ya think?)


Eyelet Top


Aida Halter (but in Lemon)



What's your fave?

B&Lu... Thank You...

Thursday, December 27, 2007

A couple weeks ago, A Pretty Pear mentioned a sale at B&Lu that was worth taking a second look at. So, during my holiday shopping (you know - one for you, one for me - two for you, one for me, and so on...), I figured that I'd mosey on over to the site and see what I might discover. Well, this is what had me at hello...









Isn't this grey sweater classic chic yet a bit sassy? Thought so.


The B&Lu Posie sweater is reasonably priced, NOT itchy in the least, and so comfortable - much like wearing a favorite shirt. Not to mention, it isn't stifling, which turtlenecks can be at times. Now, before you shoot me - I must confess - I am a fan of the turtleneck. Nothing says casual chic than a well fitted turtleneck. It's a wardrobe MUST.


Also, as mentioned by A Pretty Pear, B&Lu's customer service is fab, the shipping is super fast and, hello - they use plus size models on their site. Talk about standing behind the brand.


I will be adding B&Lu into my "must visit often" plus-size retailers.
