There have been a ton of plus size fashion blogs to hit the Internet over the past few years.  Considering how few there were just two years ago I am excited to see not only new kids on the block but others growing and becoming more successful as time goes by.  If you have not added these blogs to your list of reading your are missing out on some of the best of what plus size fashion in the blog world has to offer.

Plus Size Fashion Blogs make no apologies for telling the truth

• Fab Finds Under $50 – Fab Finds Under $50! is a place where daily outfits, trends, outfit ideas, inspiration to mix and match your closet and more can be found. I had a chance to meet Kimberly last year and like her sense of style and who doesn’t like a bargain.
• Curves and Chaos - Curves & Chaos™ is a blog for the CURVY woman. She is glamorous, fabulous, foxy, confident, and more. It’s about fashion, beauty, lifestyle and more. Monique is very passionate about what she writes about and it oozes out of every post.
• Manolo for the Big Girl – I always smile when I read this blog. Since September 1, 2007, Manolo for the Big Girl has been dispensing the best and most hilarious fashion and lifestyle advice to plus-sized women.
• Plus Model Magazine – The best source for plus modeling on the Internet. the premiere virtual magazine celebrating the plus size fashion, beauty and plus size modeling industries, inspires YOU to thrive in your curves, crave contemporary fashion and design your life on your own terms, sans apologies.
• Frantic Dreams – More of a lifestyle blog than a fashion blog but the author is 6’5″ with a large frame so I think this qualifies as plus size fashion not matter how you slice it.
• Curious Fancy – This one is for sure a lifestyle page.  I like the retro look of the photos.  It for sure shows the difference in fashion in other countries.
• NADIA ABOULHOSN – Part blog, lifestyle, fashion page.  What I like about this one is the commentary.  I think you will like it to.

I am proud to call myself a plus size fashion blogger!
