Year: 2017

I’ve always had a preference for “princess cut” (also known as “empire waist” or “A cut”) tunics since I feel it’s the kind of cut that fits my silhouette the best. Sportive Plus’ princess cut has rarely failed me, from the Tsù tunic to the Xenon sweater (which also works well as a tunic by the way). ►►►

Many retailers have decided to get on board and offer plus-size items in their collection. Great news. What is not so great, is that we get shown the same regular sized model with the regular sized clothing on. ►►►

Whether we start exploring a city or a trail, we don’t always want to stop for a long time to eat, to avoid losing precious time! Sometimes, when hiking, it’s not always possible, especially when part of a group. ►►►

Based on Chinese astrology, last year was the year of the Fire Monkey. A year ruled by challenges and competition apparently. The 4713th Chinese year will end this weekend. ►►►

Have you ever noticed how, whenever something body positive – or “pro plus-size” – is published, the fat-shaming trolls always spread the same handful of comments? It’s like “eat less, move more, lose weight, you’re fat” is the solution to everything for these mean folks… and most times, it’s not even a pertinent answer. ►►►

Bringing back souvenirs to my family and close friends – who tolerated my ramblings “pre” and “post” travels – is one of my biggest backpacking-related pleasure. ►►►

Back in 2014, as this blog was celebrating its 1st anniversary, Stacy Bias was part of the few people who were looking into plus-size travel – flying, to be more precise – in depth. ►►►
