What are your favorite online and brick-and-mortar stores to shop at? Do you have any tips for plus-size girls who want on-trend items without spending a fortune?
"Without a doubt, ASOS is probably the one shop that gets the largest percentage of my income. SimplyBe.com also has an enormous, varied collection. High-end-wise, I'm a Net-A-Porter addict! I'm a big believer in trying things on regardless of the size on the tag; some of my favorite and most worn pieces are from Marc Jacobs, Diane von Furstenberg, and McQueen. You just never know what will fit."
"Brick and mortar, I love hitting up H&M; it has a small plus-size collection, H&M+, and though it is only available in a few locations, some of my recent favorites (like a very Stella McCartney-esque polka-dot top) have come from there. I think the best way to get the most mileage (and best looks) out of trendy fast fashion is to invest, wherever possible, in well-fitting basics. For some, this might mean an inexpensive or thrifted pair of pants that is tailored to fit perfectly. It really does upgrade the whole look!"
