Fabulous Fashion picks by Roaman’s Experts

Looking fabulous is what Roaman’s is all about! And with the premier of the movie Sex and the City 2 this week, we were inspired to highlight some plus size fashion picks of our own to help you look fabulous, day and night!

Having an obsession with shoes as well, our Shoe experts suggested the following as one of summer’s hottest pick!

Wild Wedges
What makes wedges special? You’ll look sexy and get all the benefits of wearing heels without having to balance on a thin heel. It offers even distribution of pressure and more stability to your foot and back. This means you may be able to wear a higher heel than you normally would while still feeling the stability of wearing pumps or other, shorter heels. And best of all, a wedge heel looks great with nearly any type of outfit, dressy or casual. – Debra Hanflig, Product Manager-Shoes, Roaman’s
Our Pick: Tara Studded Wedge Sandal by Comfortview


Speaking of casual, want to look chic in minutes? Here’s what our Knit team had to offer…

Beautiful Tunics
Dare to bare? Don’t be afraid to show a little skin!
Our cold shoulder tunic is the perfect way to look sexy in minutes without revealing too much skin. With a banded stretch bottom to fit your hips perfectly, a touch of revealing shoulders to emulate fashion confidence and studs around the open crochet neckline to add a touch of glimmer- this tunic makes a perfect choice for any event! And to complete the look, add some silver accessories and you’ll be turning heads everywhere! –Veronica Rodriguez, Assistant Product Manager-Knit Tops and Bottoms, Roaman’s
Our Pick: Stretch Cold Shoulder Tunic


Last but not least, nothing spells fabulous more than a strong and confident career woman! Here’s what our Dressy team had to say!

Confident Suiting
Finding a suit that will make you look Chic and Modern is key! That’s why our Hourglass Skirt Suit is our favorite pick as it beautifully defines your waist and creates a flattering hourglass figure that is sure to impress. In addition, the black panels on the sides of the suit create a slimming effect that accentuates your curves to make you look more fabulous than ever! -Dana Hudgins, Assistant Product Manager-Dresses, Roaman’s
Our Pick: Hourglass Skirt Suit

How to get what you want for the Holidays - With out buying it yourself!

So we have all experienced this frustration with the men in our lives: They are terrible at picking out gifts. Not just for us, but all the women in their families too! If you are like us you gave up a long time ago and just let him sign the card for whatever you bought. Bottom line, it's nice to get something you want that you didn't have to buy and wrap yourself! So here's what we recommend.

Make a detailed list. Include :
Item - give the full and entire name. If it is a Plus Size crochet striped babydoll sweater make sure to include all of those words. Men don't think like we do so if you said Plus Size striped babydoll sweater they might come across the one you want and think it's wrong because it says crochet.

Size - no matter how long you have lived together, how many things he has bought you or how many times you have told him, in the moment of purchase he will go completely blank. Throw him a bone and tell him.

Color - make sure to use the color name listed in the catalog or on the website. Don't just say purple if the color listed is soft violet - he won't get it.

Location - If it's a website send him an e-mail with a link to the page the item is on, not just the home page. Make it idiot proof. If it is in a catalog mark the page with a post-it and be sure to include all of the necessary info that you have on your list. Heaven forbid he loses the list, he still has the catalog with the post-it! If the item is in a store at the mall, tell him the name and the closest entrance in the mall.

It might be helpful to tell him if the item is on sale or going to be so he knows when he should buy. Make sure to include several options so he can choose what to give you. You want him to feel like he picked it out and is going to surprise you. And you will be surprised because you don't know what he is going to pick from your list! Win, win for everyone involved.

Here's our list!

Plus Size Faux fur trimmed leather coat by Via Accenti, Brown, size 28W












Plus Size Dana trapeze sweater, Dark Plum, size 3X












Plus Size "Frida" side fringe boots by Comfortview®, Tabacco, size 8.5












Plus Size Satin Pajamas By Amoureuse®, Gold Black Print, size 3X












Plus Size 2 Piece Peignoir Set, True Purple, size 3X

Rocking Metallics - Plus Size Trends

The air is crisp, Pumpkin Spice Lattes are back at Starbucks and boots are popping up on feet everywhere. Welcome back Fall, oh how we missed you! This season jewel tones and metallics are definitely hot items! And there are many ways to wear them in the office and out. The simplest way to add some metallic or jewel tone to your wardrobe is through accesories. A great pair of peep toe pumps can add a splash of color to your suit at the office and go great with a pair of jeans on the weekend. a big hand bag is another way to pump up your look.

A really nice metallic coat is an excellent investment for the season. You can wear it like a neutral and match it with jeans or trousers. You could get some great mileage out of a jewel tone tunic and wear it to work over leggings with pumps and with jeans on the weekend.
