Awesome Summer Shoes

I realize that summer is nearing its end, but I really must tell you about my experience with the latest style of Crocs.

Wait! Don't stop reading just yet. I hate the original Crocs as much as anyone. They're just UGLY!

However, there are new styles such as the Adara and the Capri which make all other summer sandals pale in comparison.

They are stylish and OH SO COMFORTABLE! Let me just tell you that I haven't worn any other shoes all summer except these two styles. As soon as I bought them, my other summer shoes just went into the closet.

The true test was walking all over Savannah, GA in the extreme heat... cobblestone streets and concrete. I walked tons and my feet did not hurt AT ALL! This is amazing to me because my feet always hurt when I do any extended walking. Let's face it, I'm twice the size I was 20 years ago and all that extra weight puts pressure on your feet... and your shoes.

My feet tend to sweat a lot too which makes for some not so pleasant smells at the end of the day. NOT in the Crocs!! I haven't had a smell or sweat issue whatsoever.

So, if you're still in a part of the world wear the weather is warm enough to wear sandals and you want to look stylish while walking around (instead of wearing clunky tennis shoes), then give the Adara a try. There's no rubbing from the thong like the Capri (although even that is very minimal) and at the end of the day your whole body will thank you.

SIZE ISSUE: I wear a 10 in other shoes, but wear a 9 in Crocs, so I suggest you go a size down for the best fit.

Welcome Well Rounded Women!


Have you ever scoured the internet trying to find something special... that would fit YOU? Have you ever wanted to feel stylish and sexy but can only seem to find the types of clothes your grandmother would wear on a cruise? Have you ever wished for stockings that wouldn't cut the circulation off in your thighs, funky rings that actually fit your ring finger instead of your pinky, or pretty lacy bras with cup sizes big enough that you can actually breathe while wearing them?

Yeah, I know the feeling!!

There are now tons of shopping opportunities for larger women online. However, not all of them carry quality or stylish options. This site is geared toward plus-size women (sizes 14-28 or 0x - 3x). I have personally ordered from almost every single one of the links you see here. They are the best options I've found in my endless search for just the right pieces to complete my wardrobe. If you have major issues with any of these stores through your own ordering experience, please comment.
