The Mystique Collection

With my sy-fy TV/movie background, when I hear the word “mystique” I instantly think of the X-Men and the very blue Rebecca Romijn-Stamos. This has nothing to do with her, or even blue (ok, there is one blue dress but for the most part, no blue). The Mystique Collection is the name of plus size…

Spring Lace

Longer, brighter days, spring tulips, and long walks are the first things to come to mind when I think of spring. Easter is around the corner and Spring will be banging at the door before we know it (ok, I am being hopeful, I still have snow on ground). This yellow lace dress by Allen…
