This week has no shortage of plus size news and as an avid blog reader and fashion connoisseur of all things plus I wanted to give a recap of the weeks news in the plus size world. Here are my top 5 must knows:

1. Michael Kors Spring 2011- I have mentioned in past posts that one of my favorite designers is Michael Kors, honest to god his clothes are so comfortable and long lasting, and might I add that man knows how to dress a woman’s body from an XS-24W, his Spring line is here for your shopping pleasure. Below are my favorites:

                   Ruffle Tank

                     Safari Vest

            Striped Sequin Top

2. Mariah Carey Shows Baby bump for Life & Style Magazine- While this doesn’t really scream plus size news I believe that her desire to show her pregnancy to the world and be proud of the changes her body has gone through speaks volumes to showing off what you got whether that be a baby belly or just plain ol’ belly.

3. Robyn Lawley on the cover of French Elle-Plus Model Robyn Lawley has graced the covers of many magazines and now has landed herself on the cover of yet another. It is always a rejoicing moment to see one of the industry’s leading ladies and model of WCurve, for the all the world to see. Viva La FATshionistas!
