Haute and Heavy Luxury

Hey there haute and heavy ladies!

Fall is here and I've managed to pull myself away from my end of summer madness to blog (and read my September issue of Vogue). I come bearing good news for those of us who aren't recessionistas. Though no official statement has been released, Robert Duffy tweeted that he is in the beginning stages of creating a plus size line for Marc Jacobs & it will take a year or so before it is in stores. The bad news is we will have to wait a year or longer before it hits stores. In the mean time, spend your days shopping at Saks which is expanding its options for plus size shoppers at its flagship store in New York.

It seems like high end retailers have finally realized the notion that fat women won't pay for high-end, trendy clothes is outdated and bad for business. I can't wait to revel in the luxury of their epiphany :)


On to more urgent matters...with chilly weather headed our way sweaters are an obvious choice to keep warm. Showcased on busty beauty Lara Stone in Vouge, knits, crewnecks, and cardigans are definitely a chic way to transition into fall and winter. If you will be picking up a sweater or 3 this season, you should consider grabbing this oversize cashmere number from Saks while you're at it. It's perfect for a casual fall day.
