I've had over one year's worth of experience with the Goddess brand. My initial experience was that they were the most beautiful bras I had ever seen in my size. As the brand has grown under it's parent comapy, Eveden, Goddess has blossomed into classy, traditional staples that often will surprise you with delicate details. The line has blossomed in the hands of Evenden's master designer into a line that truly understands the womanly form.
Today I had the pleasure of previewing Elomi's Spring 2009 line of lingerie for the fuller figured and larger busted woman. I was also fortunate enough to receive an expert fitting with three expert bra fitters with surprising results (more on that soon). Elomi is a stunning line with excellent fit - it is truly remarkable to find a line which fully encompasses the fuller figured size range while maintaining the delicate details which make lingerie so enjoyable.
Admittedly, I have a soft spot for Old Navy - they were, afterall, a sponsor for On The Plus Side. Their Winter 2008-2009 collection is bright, cheerful and fashion forward. My personal favorite is the cream cable knit sweater. Check out a preview of the line below, and let me know your favorites.
What's coverage of New York Fashion Week without a bit of humor? After all, the week is just one big dog & pony show. In Chapter 2, not only do I take you into my new hangout at the tents and backstage at the Erin Fetherston show with Dashing Diva, but I also show you what is in my Kipling DigiBag. Without this bag, I would be lost.
Big thanks to Dashing Diva & Sam Dark PR for hooking up me up with backstage access!

When I first started Style IT, I thought it was appropriate and professional to be a more private author. As my writing style and my blog have naturally evolved, I have found it important to reveal more about myself and my professional life.
When preparing for my third season at New York Fashion Week, I came to a solid realization - I had let the pressures of being in that atmosphere cripple me emotionally until I had resigned to being a wallflower in my own professional environment. From my desire to turn these feelings around, On The Plus Side: A Fuller Figured Fashion Week Experience, a mini documentary about being a plus sized woman at New York Fashion Week was born.
As I put the project together, I realized that I was not the only woman to experience these emotions. No matter your size, there is something about your body you wish was different, and we should be helping each other instead of hurting one another. So many larger women do not realize there are affordable, fashionable options for all size ranges.
I've been fortunate to receive the support of some incredible sponsors. I am proud to wear their products over the next 8 days and help empower other plus size women.
