I received a very nice email this morning from ASOS...letting me know that the package I never received must have been lost in the post, and is now unrecoverable. They WOULD have resent my package, except now everything I ordered is out of stock, so they gave me a full refund.
That was nice of them to fix the situation without a fuss (though I think considering the circumstance, anything less would have been absolutely RIDICULOUS) but it ULTRA SUCKS that I can't have those items and also, what would have happened if I hadn't contacted them? I have been shopping online (OFTEN) for YEARS and never once has a package gotten lost...even when a package is set to arrive later than expected, I've always received emails from whatever company...this went COMPLETELY unnoticed by ASOS, so what kind of service could I expect from them in the future?
I really want to give them one more shot, but when I do, it'll be because I see something on their website that I HAVE to have...I know that the US website thing has them tangled up too, because I've been seeing on other blogs and communities that others have been complaining recently of packages taking forever to arrive, but if they are expanding, it should be to the BENEFIT of their customers, not their detriment.
If anyone has anything to say about ASOS, good or bad, I'd love to hear it, since the one and only experience I have with them has left a slightly bitter taste in my mouth.

ASOS...the saga conitnues....
I still haven't received my package, so I sent ASOS a customer service email yesterday afternoon. It was 9:30pm in the UK, so I didn't expect a quick response. I got an email this morning saying that they received my email and were going to work on it...nothing so far.
So, I just wanted to keep you guys posted on this, and hopefully I have some news soon.

ASOS, what gives?!
Remember when I told you guys about my first ASOS Curve shopping experience?
Probably not, because it'll be an entire month this week since I ordered from them, and still NOTHING.
Mind you, I DID opt for the free standard shipping, but if you read back, you'll see that it shouldn't have made a difference, because although it was set to take "less than 2 weeks", my birthday would still not have passed, and I'd be able to wear my new clothes then.
Well, my birthday has come and gone. And the clothes have not.
It has been 4 weeks and nothing.
So, uh...ASOS...what gives?!

Torrid's half off clearance sale!
My absolute FAVORITE time to shop at Torrid! Thankfully they have a sale like this at least every 4-6 weeks, by my observation...
I bought:
Adorable, right? I know. ;)
So, guess how much all this originally retailed for? $162, before tax or shipping.
Guess how much I paid.
Go on, guess.
$61.58, INCLUDING tax and shipping.
Yep. I saved over $100
:takes a bow:
I heart sales.

New this week: Style 369
With a size offering of a UK 14 - UK 26 (US 10 - US 22), Style369.com is the curvy girls answer to TopShop - with edgy pieces like rompers and jumpsuits outfitted in tie-dyed fabrics and draped cuts, the website fills in the gap that the youth market has been craving. The styling on the website can also be a source of inspiration for curvy women, drawing directly from street style and the runways- proving that curvy girls, too, can achieve the latest trends.

I'd love to get to shopping, but there stuff is a bit pricey ($55 US for a tunic? Not in my budget, thanks) so I'll wait til I hear about a sale (which you KNOW I'll be posting about here whenever it DOES happen!)

2 BIG Sales happening at Catherines!
The following sale is based on buying at any combination of the following stores: Cacique, Lane Bryant, Loop 18, Catherines and Fashion Bug!
The offer I got when I clicked was 30% off with code 777012030 at checkout if you shop only at Catherines.
How about I start the shopping ban on the first of October? Sound good to everyone? LOL I'm gonna go check out if I can find at least one thing I LOVE at each shop so I can get the best discount!
:EDIT: I saved $140 on almost $300 worth of stuff! I'll do a picture post later of all the different things I bought (8 items total from all 5 different shops)

Petition to encourage Target to make more plus size clothes!
From Styleitonline.com:
Have you ever walked into Target and browsed through the designer collaborations? Do you remember the excitement of being able to take home pieces from Jean Paul Gaultier, Zac Posen, and Erin Fetherston because you could actually afford to own a piece created by these fashion industry talents? Only some of you reading this post can say "yes", and only because these collaborations were produced in your size. Why has Target not collaborated with a designer for an exclusive plus size collection, or better yet, extended their current collaborations into larger sizes?
Please join Patrice from Afrobella, Marie Denee from The Curvy Fashionista and I in our public plea to Target to embrace the plus size community (already a current customer) with their designer collaborations. We've created an online petition to gather signatures of potential customers and supporters, so that Target can take notice and understand that there is a viable customer base for these pieces.
To: Target Corporation
Dear Target, Each season, you skillfully and beautifully execute exclusive designer collaborations and partnerships with leading fashion designers. As plus size women, we are oft neglected, overlooked and always sized out of your collections.
Why?
We have money to spend as much as our straight sized sisters do. We love to look just as fabulous as the other Fashionistas, yet you neglect to even think of us in the equation. We fawn over the Zac Posen for Target, and strategically finagle through the cuts that could pass on our curves; salaciously we look as each fantastic and highly coveted collaboration passes us along- due to you ignoring our thirst and hunger for fashion.
Why?
Therefore, I, Marie Denee of The Curvy Fashionista, Patrice of Afrobella, and Sarah of Style It Online have come together with our followers and the fa(t)shionistas within the plus size community to request, demand, and call for an inclusion of and/or special designer collaborations for the plus size fa(t)shionistas.
Sincerely, The Undersigned
I'm signature 1324! Please sign!

I should have known...LOL
The Newport News sale was too good to pass up! I got 5 items, valued at $295 BEFORE tax and shipping, for $143 INCLUDING tax and shipping! That's over 50% off!
I bought a two tone dress, which is VERY classy and I always like to have dresses on reserve in case an event pops up, because fact is that we bigger ladies don't have the luxury of just walking into any store at the mall and finding 15 dresses we love and can walk out wearing...I also bought wide leg jeans, which I fully plan on dyeing because I HATE light denim, a cummerbund pencil skirt in dark red (idk what I'll wear it with, but it seemed too fun to pass up), leggings and a shapewear swimsuit (in the fall? YES! Buying out of season is the easiest way to save money, and I live in Miami so it's not like I won't use it all year round!)
BTW, most things at this website are also available in straight sizes, so have at it, skinny minnies!
OK...NOW let the shopping ban begin. LOL

Newport News - 30% Off!
AND...there's also THIS!
Torrid is offering incentives for buying your Halloween costume from them!
I actually already bought mine...I have 2 actually, because I always buy my halloween costumes immediately after halloween for the FOLLOWING year (I TOLD you I was frugal! LOL) and I need at least 2 because I like having options til the very last moment...But for those of you that are a bit more RATIONAL...
So, what's everyone dressing up as this year?
