I am the Editor in Chic of The Curvy Fashionista. Often goofy. Forever emo. Always a Virgo. You can find me somewhere grooving to 90s R&B.
You forgot IGIGI voted best plus retailer by FFW!
I can;t figure out how to use ideeli to find plus stuff. when i’ve gone there’s nothing. must be me.
I think the biggest accomplishment in this list is the embrace from mainstream fashion magazines to plus size women. I think this is a huge step to showing the world that we are out there, we are fashionable, and that we are beautiful.
