Plus Size Chloe Eyelet Dress

Now as much as we might want to be edge-y all the time, certain occasions call for something slightly more cheery than our usual fare. For those times, I usually chose something like this eyelet dress.

Romper Room

Maybe you were hoping the rompers-for-grown-ups trend would fade away after it first surfaced a couple of years ago? But here we are in Spring 2011 taking a look at the updated "one-piece jumper thingees" coming out in time for the warm weather. They look pretty comfy, but we're on the fence in terms of style. What do you think?

Tumblin'! Plus Noir on Tumblr.com

Wow, it's been a couple of busy months already this year. I'm back and I have so much to share - pics and reviews for my dark ones. *wink* First, let me open the door to our spinoff blog of pure imagery satisfaction - DarqueandLovely. It is not at all a replacement for what we do here on Plus Noir. In fact, I couldn't tell you exactly what our Tumblr is, but I can tell you that it's full of goth-y, vintage-y, punk-y, neo-victorian, gypsy, mystical and steampunk-ish images. A great new way to waste time and fill your brain with mind-bending stuff. Come on, you know you wanna.

Meantime, new style/fashion tidbits plus reviews just for you coming up next week.

Smooches!

The Coveted Adderbite Ring

So I finally decided to actually buy a piece of jewelry I've been stalking for about a year. It's the Adderbite Ring by Alchemy Gothic. Here's blogger ElderGoth wearing hers.





Isn't it awesome??? It's manufactured by sold on several sites such as eBay and GothicPlus, but I found the best price on Amazon.com.

It's supposed to be here within the next week. So I'll be sure to take pictures - and do a full review - when it arrives.

eShakti Tops

Today I was browsing some of the fab tops over at eShakti.com (as I sometimes do since I'm an affiliate) and noticed a banner offering free shipping with the purchase of two blouses. I need more than that, so I thought it was a nice bargain and decided to pass it on. Here is a small sample of what eShakti has available:










What do you think of these? Would they work as transitional pieces into the late Fall and Winter?
