How is it time to start talking about holiday sale shopping already!! I wanted to get a post up for all my curvy babes that will be out shopping this week both in store and online. In todays post I am sharing my favorite places to shop(for myself and others), and the malls and shopping centers and small businesses that I shop the most.
This type of post serves mostly as a guide, if you love my style and want send this post to the people that buy gifts for you, or if you know a curvy babe that is into edgier/trendy outfits you can use this post as a shopping guide for her!
Michigan Malls and Shopping Centers
Novi Town Center – I have blogged about Novi Town Center before and I truly love this shopping center. Its the most size inclusive large shopping center I have ever encountered. Every store in the mall carries plus size clothing, and you can shop home decor, children and for groceries all in one spot. Read more about Novi Town Center HERE, and HERE. And curvy Michigan babes make sure to check out this shopping space!
Arbor Hills – This premier shopping space is one of my favorite spots to shop 3 stores that I cant really shop anywhere else(without a lengthy drive). Madewell, Anthropologie, and V2V. This small but muse shopping center is fun for an afternoon of picking through each and every thing they have lol.
Twelve Oaks Mall – I have lived in the Novi MI area most of my life and Twelve Oaks mall is the mall to shop Eloquii and Department stores. Here I shop Nordstrom, Macys, Eloquii, Lush and Forever21. I love this mall for whole day shopping, especially in the winter and colder months when you can spend the day in the {warm} mall shopping and dining.

I get most of my clothing from six brands/stores. I love shopping, and I especially love stores that have big inventories that way I can shop and style lots of different options.
Lane Bryant – You name, and I have shopped LB for it. From bra’s to shoes this brand is a staple in my closet. I love the quality, and freedom I have when shopping in store and online at LB. Recently I have shopped this brand for denim, sweaters and dresses. Lane Bryant will have some major discounts happening over this upcoming holiday/shopping week. Look for 40% off at a minimum and make sure to check out their new arrivals and sweater section, for on trend pieces that will look great and last. Read a Lane Bryant blog post HERE.

This type of grassroots store is exactly where I want to spend my money, BONUS the staff is SUPER knowledgeable and helpful! Read more about Vosenna HERE.
The Jewelry Depot – Based in Brighton MI. Dan and Rochelle at the Jewelry Depot have been my family jewelers for 20 years. Their passion, quality of work, and fair pricing has kept us returning year after year.
