Welcome to my "I wish I bought more often from these stores" review!
I wanted to do a review of some of my all time favorites of 2014- boutique edition. I know we are well into 2015 but I thought these feminist friendly boutiques deserved some recognition! When I say feminist friendly I mean they include the option of plus size sizing (custom made or already a line at the shop), and are independent brands that aren't run by the corporate fat cats. I think it's important to support our smaller brands because these owners have a great message to the clothing industry and that is "Fuck your beauty standards!" Everyone is beautiful and we all deserve a shot at some unique and trendy clothing. Let's delve into two shops I have to talk about!

#1 Miracle Eye- www.shopmiracleeye.com
Like mentioned in the introduction of this post, this shop is wonderful for the plus size department. Their standard sizes are only XS-XL. When I ordered a pair of shorts from there, there was an option to get custom made sizes for an additional $15. Now I know that this shop is not exactly the *cheapest* clothing but in comparison to popular stores pricing, this shop compares to Urban Outfitters upwards of Free People. In my opinion, this store has clothing that not only is reasonably priced for HANDMADE clothing but also you cannot find these pieces anywhere else unless you fast forward 6 months. This store is already on their game selling bell bottoms (which is slowly making its way into the market), unlike UO who is still marketing the jogger pant like crazy! Miracle Eye also has a fantastic vintage section!
#2 Tunnel Vision- www.shoptunnelvision.com
Right off the bat you can see the diversity this shop provides sizing wise based on the picture above. I love this store because they have the "Hottie With A Body" collection with sizing up to 4XL which is so rare to find in a clothing brand! Of course they have standard sizing like the picture displayed on the left. Another thing I love about Tunnel Vision is that their "One Size Fits Most" really DOES fit most! It fits sizes S-L which I think is amazing in comparison to Brandy Melville which only sells clothes that fit XS-M because lets be honest, I CANNOT squeeze into the 00 ripped denim from Brandy I desperately wish I could buy. Just like Miracle Eye, this company is independently owned and does not support body shaming (how refreshing!).
