The Spoils from Lola & Gigi's Trip to Vegas

A few weeks ago, we had the overwhelming experience of going to Las Vegas on the hunt for more spectacularly unique clothing for LolaandGigi.com. Man did we win big! Here's a sneak peak at what is on its way.

This dress by Sandy Starkman is a gorgeous coral print with a wrap neckline with stunning black beading and an elastic ruched waist which comes in sizes L - XXL (18/20) for $198. This is a perfect neckline for a more voluptuous bustline, while the crinkle-cotton skirt has loads of volume. The perfect summer dress for the curvy fashionista who is not afraid to strut her stuff!

Lola & Gigi meet Anna Scholz in the Big Apple

We just got back from a whirlwind trip to New York where we met the fabulous Anna Scholz, the goddess of curvy design. A tall blond fashion powerhouse, Anna has been designing the most luxurious, striking and sophisticated clothes for the past 10 years. We had the privilege of viewing her Fall/Winter 08 collection which included sumptuous cashmere, far out vintage prints, and her signature sultry jersey.

We managed to pick up a few of her spring pieces that will be coming to LolaandGigi.com very soon. These pieces are extraordinary - with the cut, quality and design that are a curvy fashionista's dream! Here's a sneak peak at a few of our favourites. We'll only have a very limited quantity, so get in there fast!

Kimono Dress on Canadian Beauty!

Check out the stunning Canadian model Etheliya Hananova in our fabulous Abby Z Kimono Dress on the Loulou Magazine 14+ website.

I love the dramatic pose & the punch of colour with the red shoes. This dress is absolutely incredible on a pear-shaped figure - it accentuates a small waist and glides over the hip area to create balanced perfection!

Abby Z on Today Show!

Just wanted to share with everyone the clip of an episode of the "Today Show" from a few days ago which featured Carnie Wilson and a "plus size" fashion show. Check out the cute Soho Top by Abby Z sported by one of the models - way to go Abby Z!

Trench Dress on the Red Carpet

Here's Nikki Blonsky looking tres chic in one of our new arrivals, the black Trench Dress. This dress works wonders on the curvy figure, giving the illusion of an hour-glass figure (whether you've got one or not!). The beauty of this dress is that you can wear it as a trench coat as well. Nicky is wearing it with a belt, but the dress does come with it's own. I can just imagine strolling down the streets of Paris with my Jackie O shades on ... C'est magnifique!

Sneak Peak at Spring

Thought I'd give you all a sneak peak at what's coming up for spring and hopefully get your feedback!

Abby Z has done a beautiful sequined & beaded dress in three colours that is a must for that summer wedding. Particularly flattering on a pair shape, this floaty flirty dress hugs and skims in all the right places.

Diane Kennedy has worked her magic again with her eco-friendly soy & bamboo creations. I love this Pulse Top & Fluid Skirt, and I can't wait to get my hands on this Tempt Tunic in wild aster (also available in black). Love the way the v-neck elongates the neck and compliments "the girls", while the gather at the front glides over the tummy while still nipping in at the waist. Genius!

Making the Most of Your Curves!

A few weeks ago, I had the wonderful opportunity to take part in a Tele-seminar with the Glam Gals Deborah & JoJami entitled: "Plus size chic: How to look chic no matter what your shape!"

We chatted about everything from the right undergarments to the best accessories, and everything in between. Are you an apple or a pear? A figure-eight or an hourglass? We covered all the angles (and curves) in this tele-seminar.
