I was resisting the Beth Ditto fashion line at Evans London, and now I have to eat my words. . . I adore, love, admire the Pink Colorblock T-Shirt over there, and I have a feeling that I’m going to be on my own on this one!
Hear me out. First of all, this graphic t-shirt looks incredibly comfortable and has a few touches of eye-catching sparkles. It’s not exactly what I would call fetching, but take a look at it on plus-size model Crystal Renn on Evans’ main page! Do you see what I mean?
Sometimes you just have to admit …read more

If you’re into sales, I recommend you visit Evans London and their amazing sale section they have going on right now. Knitwear, swimsuits, and lingerie are all marked down, and plenty of stuff can be picked up for under $17. While I picked out this metallic-trimmed white bolero (it’s creative and unusual, a perfect conversation piece for parties!), I also ran into other special items like plaid dresses and tops, costume jewelry, tiered summer skirts, and more for the picking.
The items are a little more limited in terms of selection, but if you find the perfect piece at rock-bottom prices, …read more

Evans London is having a 20% off everything sale online, and you can scoop up everything you need for summer, including fitted tops, plenty of animal print, t-shirts, dresses, tunics, shoes, and lingerie (and way more). I’m planning on getting a few t-shirts and maybe a couple plaid items as well, but perhaps the deals will sway me to buy something bigger and better, too!
I’ve read commentary from some US-dwelling plus shoppers that their cards wouldn’t go through online. If that happened to you, can you email me at meieli dot sawyer at gmail dot com to let me know? …read more

Even though Evans has gotten on my nerves this season with their collections, forcing me to wait with baited breath until Beth Ditto comes out with her summer collection, their shoes are admittedly super good. I particularly like these black leather sandals with a metal disc feature, but there are plenty of other strappy styles on the site that I love right now. These ones are £28.00, and are available up to size 9.
Then again, I loved it even more when they did their Georgina Goodman line, but who knows? Maybe she’ll pop up again after Beth Ditto takes her …read more

I’m really, really liking this floral jersey dress: it’s so sexy and clinging, and if there’s one thing we all need, it’s a good v-neck. Not only does it make you look slimmer and trimmer, but it also adds a ton of shape to your face and neck, while making the most of that cleavage.
This super find from Evans starts at UK size 14 and goes up to 30–not too bad at all. It has a great inspired back v-drape as well, which adds balance to that belted waist and shaped skirt. I would like to have it in pink …read more

Talk about a slinky top with attitude: this gorgeous selection will knock your socks off! I’m still haunting Evans London after not being too much in the loop–  apparently they are focusing less on the U.S. right now?!–  and I absolutely adore this sexy selection. Sequin drape and 100% viscose sounds really good for spring, don’t you think?
It starts at UK size 14, which is a size US 12. Shall we pounce, ladies? Oh yeah– and it’s machine washable. Good thing, too, because I don’t have any time to handwash while I’m frolicking.

I’m currently helping my niece shop for a prom dress, and I keep running into amazing gowns that: 1. Have nothing to do with the prom and 2. Can be worn by anyone, of any age, and pretty much anywhere. Enter this midnight-black beauty, which I found at Evans London and is available in UK size 14 (US 14) to 32.
At first I was feeling pretty intimidated because of its strapless, belted nature (sounds dangerous!), but I think the detachable straps have convinced me that this one is a go. Now if it was only available in size UK 14 …read more

This dress strays a little from the expected plus-size dress styles, and that’s what I like about it. It’s simply pretty, sweet, fun, and gorgeous, and best of all– it doesn’t look like anything else in my closet! I found this piece over at Evans London in this dark multi color, and I’m dreaming of pairing it with a vintage-looking leather handbag from ASOS.
