Chastity Garner is fresh off a week at NYFW, where the SF blogger caught the eye of a writer at The New Yorker with her "girlie outfit—a long dress with a black-and-white striped skirt and a black top with lace detailing." It's just the chic ensemble to expect from the woman behind GarnerStyle. And as a local expert in plus size fashion, we had to ask her where she likes to shop in the Bay Area.

"To be quite honest, there aren't a lot of in-store options in San Francisco," Chastity tells us. "Ninety percent of my clothes are bought online." That said, she looks to Curvy Girl Lingerie in San Jose to stock up on underthings and Torrid for wardrobe essentials. She's also quick to name Lane Bryant, Nordstrom, and Macy's as everyday, local options for plus-size dressing.

In terms of online shopping, Chastity's faves are Asos and Rebdolls. Still finding it all a little intimidating to shop these stores without more guidance? Look to Chastity and her styling services that run the gamut from makeovers to closet organization. The New Yorker, Oprah, Elle are already buzzing about Chastity, so you know you'll be in good hands.
