The Manfatten Project
I can't remember who put me on to the Manfatten Project, it may have been Xtina from Musings of a Fatshionista or Gabi from Young, Fat, and Fabulous (both girls recently did really great posts about Monif C., so check out their links), but I think this is an AWESOME blog! Basically it's street fashion candids, but ONLY of plus size women (I don't know if they have men, I just saw women). I am so in love with all these new bloggers and site promoting positive images of curvy women, and I hope you check them also.
Here are some flicks from the blog. All pictures from the property of Manfatten Project, I am just showcasing them here for you all to see! Check out the Manfatten Project for more pics!
This last pic is of Taueret and Glenn from over at Redress, a great plus size vintage store in Brooklyn owned by my buddy Deb!

Coco Before Chanel
I am absolutely in love with the fact there are so many movies featuring fashion icons that have come out recently, Valentino, Anna Wintour, and now the incomparable Coco Chanel. Here's the trailer for the new "Coco before Chanel" that just was released in NYC and will probably be everywhere soon. I'll be seeing it as soon as I get back from LA. Anyone see it yet?
