When it comes to shoes do you trade comfort for cuteness? I know among some I should be hung by my toes for even mentioning comfort over look, but when it comes to shoes spending a few more dollars to get a quality shoe you will keep for years will trump “cute only” every time.
We talked about style on the posts How to become one with your plus-size style and I found my personal style now what? The now what is dealing with the shoes to go with your look. Below are several shoes that may not be the hottest on the block this Fall but they are affordable and best of all your feet, knees, back, and wallet will thank you.

Earlier this Summer we talked about style in relation to clothes with a basic mention of lingerie. Today we are going to go a little deeper into the area of lingerie for the plus-size frame and how important this step is towards the goal of you looking your best when you leave the house each day. Not only will the right pieces smooth out your look but will go a long way towards adding to your confidence level.
Small Breasts
If you have smaller breasts and want a little more attention to this area a side smoothing plunge bra or wireless bra will make your outfit look smoother and add a touch of polish to your posture.

One thing that has not changed in the years that I have been writing this blog is that I know just enough about html to mess things up. That is the reason that I have put FFP into the “I Need A New Design” Contest. Basically, it is a way to have your blog be the considered the “worst” so that you can win a new design.
Most long time readers remember the debacle that FFP just went through with the old design showing up and making everything look horrible. That is what gave me the idea and the reason for the cool banner that you see to the right of this post.
If you guys could do me the favor of clicking on the banner and voting for me I would be forever in your debt and will reward you guys with more quality plus size related posts and even a few contests for 2009. Thanks in advance. Read more...
If you have been paying attention to the Fall Trends you may have noticed across the board in plus-size fashion that accessories have been emphasized more than in years past. The right accessories can make or break an outfit. A few things to keep in mind when adding accessories to your look is not to go overboard with large pieces and wear pieces you like but make sure the item actually goes with the outfit you are pairing it with.
IGIGI in connection with introducing some of the clothes they introduced during the Summer runways shows have expanded their jewelry collection. The collection features pieces that go with the colors of the season which are gray, black, and gold to name a few. Read more...
Recently the state of Alabama passed legislation that employees have until 2010 to get control of thier waistlines or lose the free health insurance. Everytime I hear stories like this I am torn between being upset and indifferent. On one side I say if I work for you then what I do with my size is none of your business. On the other side since nothing is free if part of the conditions for getting a service at no cost is maintaining a certain weight and be free of health problems then either I do it or pay the fee.
Alabama is giving its employees roughly a year to start getting in shape or state employees will be charged $25 a month for insurance that would otherwise be free. The plan was approved recently by the State Employees’ Insurance Board. Read more...
