Saks Fifth Avenue Will Carry Plus-Size Chanel, YSL, Valentino...No, Seriously...

The high-end designer brands that could previously only fit mannequins, and other petite specimens, will now be available in larger sizes at Saks Fifth Avenue, according to Racked.com.

Expect to see designs by Chanel, YSL, Dolce & Gabbbana, Akris, Carolina Herrera, Escada, St. John, Donna Karan, Oscar de la Renta, Max Mara, YSL, Fendi, Roberto Cavalli, Alexander McQueen, Michael Kors and Valentino in...wait for it...wait for it...a size 10! and maybe some 14's! a few 16's!

Even some select designers will stock pieces in sizes up to 20!

Sounds too good to be true? Well, the downside is the quantity, or lack of, as they'll only stock one of each size for certain pieces.

Still, it is a baby step in the right direction.

Will you shop the new plus-size section of Saks?

Kisses,

Natural Chic

Fendi Spring 2010 RTW

pictures and info from style.com

I just love Fendi's Spring 2010 RTW line. It was so feminine, fresh, inocent, natural, and light looking, all while staying chic, elegant, and poised. Above are some of my favorites from the collection. The first is my absolute favorite, and I'm hoping I'll be able to make a look inspired by this one soon. The second is so natural and flowy looking. I just want to wear it while walking on the beach with the wind in my hair. The third is so light and the structure of the dress is beautiful. I also love it with the belt. I know that some 2010 couture, resort, and pre-fall are already hitting the runways, but its beginning to feel more like spring, and this collection reminds me of just that.
