We Love Colors Leggings : Splash Color Matte

March 18, 2014 Edith B

Though it goes a bit against my backpacker “instincts” to pack very flashy things to wear, in order to be able to mix and match all (or nearly all!) my items of clothing, this one comes as a complete surprise! (I also hate to be too visible while away to avoid drawing unwanted attention.) ►►►

Splash Plus Sized Nylon/Lycra Footless Tights by We Love Colors

February 6, 2014 Edith B

I found out about We Love Colors as I was compiling my Plus Size, Travel Friendly Retailers list, last fall. I was incredibly excited at the idea of colorful, no cotton leggings. READ MORE… ►►►

Glamorise Sport Double Layer Custom Control Bra

November 22, 2013 Edith B

This one is for the ladies! Another challenge faced by Plus Size backpackers is to find a decent & supporting bra that won’t stink at the first drop of sweat, take forever to dry or ended up all crooked. ►►►

September 17, 2013 Edith B

Another pick from Old Navy’s Women’s Plus Collection!
Do I have to remind you how excited I was – as most plus-size women – that this collection was finally made available to Canadian ladies… yay!

Women’s Plus Active Compression Capris by Old Navy

September 13, 2013 Edith B

Again this week, I will review clothing that I found (online, in this case) and thought could be a great addition to a Plus Size Backpacker’s luggage. ►►►

Women’s Plus Active Compression Tank by Old Navy

September 6, 2013 Edith B

Very recently, Old Navy Canada started selling their Women’s Plus collection to Canadian women. (Lucky for me, as I recently found out about their US Plus Size collection and was incredibly jealous… until I became really glad to hear the news, thanks to my friend and co-worker D.!) ►►►

Still on a Quest for the Best Backpacking Outfits…

August 16, 2013 Edith B

Though I never cheap on the amount of underwear and socks I need for the trip (they are generally quick to wash and air dry), I’m always looking to find ways to diminish the amount of clothing I carry along on a trip. ►►►
