This is why I prefer dresses instead of pants

From a post titled “The Joys of Plus Size Shopping” from Wisebread.com:

“Dresses will always look better than anything else on you. Never wear pants. They weren’t meant for you. Wear at your own peril. Don’t wear belts or cap sleeves or bulky sweaters and for heaven’s sake don’t show up in shorts. Don’t even look at these items in stores. Even if you do find your size those things are always going to look tacky and you’ll always look like a caked sausage.”

See? When I told you that dress pants/work pants don’t look good on anyone over size 12, you didn’t believe me! Seriously check out that post though, it’s great!

Cosmo’s Vegan Shoppe – Atlanta, GA

Shirt I bought at Cosmo's Vegan Shoppe this weekend!

I wonder how much time the average vegan person spends reading labels every week. I read ingredient labels at the grocery store. I look for “not tested on animals” on cosmetics. I try to figure out if esoteric ingredients are from animal or plant sources. Once in awhile, I want to go to a store where I know I can buy anything. This weekend, I finally got to visit Cosmo’s Vegan Shoppe here in Atlanta! If you’re looking for vegan food, bath and beauty products, supplements, or leather alternatives, you need to check this place out! First of all, they have vegan delicacies from Dulce Vegan Bakery, including vegan twinkies. These are worth the trip alone. SO DELICIOUS! They also have lots of cute vegan themed shirts (see first pic) and some really cute jewelry by vegan artist Christy Robinson (see second pic).  Oh yeah, and their website has a wish list feature so you don’t have to explain exactly which products are and are not vegan, you can just refer family and friends to your wish list at this all-vegan site.

Necklace I bought at Cosmo's Vegan Shoppe this weekend, made of recycled materials!

Green Tees for Earth Day!

Customized Girl, a website that lets you custom design t-shirts and other clothing, now has organic cotton tees! I’ve ordered from them before, I was impressed at the quality, especially after multiple washings. I will definitely have to try out their organic shirts!
