And Now a Word From Our Sponsors!

Hey Everyone -

Hope you are staying out the heat and keeping cool somewhere! Lately it’s been too hot to do anything . . . including blog! *lol* Luckily, though, you can stay inside and shop online! In that spirit, I’d like to take a moment to introduce two of the new advertisers that will be featured on CurvyCEO.com!

The first, is one of my absolute FAVORITE plus-size retailers – IGIGI.com!

If you have been a regular reader of Curvy CEO, you already know that IGIGI comes up often when I’m making product recommendations or providing examples of different looks. I just *adore* this fashion line! From careerwear to cocktail dresses, from trench coats to jewelry, IGIGI provides some of the most well-tailored, high quality plus-size garments in the market. I own at least a quarter of their collection and I am routinely asked “Where did you get that?” when donning one of their ensembles. I just love their stuff! I think the primary reason behind IGIGI’s extraordinary brand is that its founder, Yuliya Raquel, started out as a “straight-size” designer, but then turned to the plus-size market after discovering what a difficult time her full-figured mother had when shopping for clothes. (You can read more about Yuliya’s background and design philosophy here.) I am completely and totally geeked to now be part of their affiliate team. I hope you will check them out!

Another new advertiser with Curvy CEO is the Pittsburgh Jeans Company.

Founded in 1966, Pittsburgh Jeans Company is a premiere denim company that operates a very impressive, three-story brick-and-mortar store at 2222 East Carson Street in Pittsburgh, PA. After years of experiencing frustration at the limited offerings available for plus-size customers (particularly those who wear over a size 32), the owners decided to venture into the plus-size denim market this fall. Don’t worry if you don’t live in or anywhere near Pittsburgh – the plus-size offerings will be available exclusively online. To kick things off, they are inviting plus-customers to register on their site for a curvy jean giveaway to celebrate their online grand opening! Be sure to visit their site and sign up for their mailing list today! (Tell ‘em Curvy CEO sent you )

In the coming weeks, I will be completely re-doing the Curvy Shops! page to feature a more comprehensive list of plus-size shopping options. Be on the lookout for that announcement soon.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
