Houndstooth

By -
Some trends are difficult to copy. The clean lines and layers of beige we saw on the Spring Summer runways, for example, won't trickle down with any sort of flattering shape or intrigue. But each year we of the thin wallets do seem to get some sort of mimicable blessing from the fashion gods.

This is the second year in a row houndstooth made a splash. Last year it was Marc by Marc Jacobs' colorful take, this year Preen did something similar and Alexander McQueen produced a more severe line in the print.

Read our latest post on Plus Size Prom Dresses!

Prom Season is here and if you're beyond the prom age, prom season and post prom season is a good time to shop for any upcoming formal events. Shopping outside of the juniors prom sections and stores may help you find a dress that can live beyond prom or anyone too old to attend prom.


During my search I found that Nordstrom had the best selection of plus size evening dresses. They actually have one of the best evening dress selections no matter what your size. The dresses range from elegant to fun and sweet to sassy.

New York Fashion Week Favorites So Far

Thank you 3.1 Philip Lim! You've appeased my co-desires for wearability and an edge of funk. Love the ruffled sequin tops. Love the layered zips. Love the ruffled shoes. The shoes!!! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Anna Sui was fabulous Anna Sui with all the prints and colors and tribal influences. Of course, I'm biased in favor of anything that looks like a hippie-gypsy-pirate. Happy! Happy! Again, the shoes are amazing. Kudos to her also for sending out happy models, because smiling should never be out of fashion.Vera Wang, always one of my favorites, was just as sleek, romantic and modern as I would hope. I always like her neutral palette with occasional splashes of color. She used lots of sheer fabrics in this collection, but it's more ethereal than daring. The shiny details also keep things exciting.
