Cookie Johnson Premium Denim

Woman with curves knows that shopping for jeans isn't always fun. What fits in the waist doesn't always fit in the hips and vice versa. Fear not! Oprah has discovered a new premium denim.

Cookie Johnson, the wife of the NBA superstar Magic Johnson, has created a line of jeans. True enough the denim is gorgeous, but they cost between $150-200 US. Recently, Oprah has put them on her list of Favorite/Favourite Things. I think she looks awesome in them.

Oprah claims that, "CJ jeans are the perfect jeans for real women with real booties". They are only sized up to an 18, which doesn't truly encompass the voluptuous contingency." Now, if I could only find them in Canada I would certainly give them a try.

Any thoughts?

Kiyonna Sale

20% Off Orders of $100 or more with the Coupon Code: BFF2009 at Kiyonna.com!


Hey Everyone. Just wanted to give you a little heads up about the Family and Friends sale at Kiyonna.

Karl Lagerfeld....Try the Doritos.

As many of you know there has been a great deal of debate in the media recently about models and their size. Several magazines have decided not to use super thin models and have decided to use more "normal sized women". "Plus size" has also become a controversial term and there is a wide variance regarding what this term really means. Proponents of the "plus sized" movement are vehemently debating whether a size 12 constitutes a "plus size". Either way, there is definitely a curvy revolution taking place. Finally!!

Even although we are starting to see more voluptuous, beautiful, healthy, women in fashion ads and magazines, some people do not agree that this is a good idea. Iconic German fashion designer, Karl Lagerfeld known for Chanel and Fendi, made it clear that he doesn't believe that curvy woman have a place on the catwalk.

"No one wants to see curvy women," Lagerfeld was quoted as saying on the website of news magazine Focus.

"You've got fat mothers with their bags of chips sitting in front of the television and saying that thin models are ugly," he added.

Lagerfeld states that fashion is about "dreams and illusions" and refers to the move by the magazine and the debate that resulted as "absurd".

Well my friend, I think you just might be absurd. Beauty comes in various shapes and sizes and if you can't see that perhaps you don't have the vision necessary for success in a changing industry. People will no longer tolerate the discrimination inherent in popular culture and media towards people as a result of their body types.

Goodbye Karl. Perhaps now that you will likely be less busy, you can learn to enjoy a good bag of Doritos. This can be done while you sit in front of the television watching a barrage of curvy models, who will undoubtedly be taking over the runway sans your ridiculous designs. From this "fat mother's" perspective Sweet Chili Heat is the best.

Plus Size Fashion For Fall

Boots - Wide Calf Ainly Rockport

Dress- Old Navy Plus

Bangles, Sunglasses, Cashmere Cardigan - Ralph Lauren

Peta's Go Vegetarian Ad

I can't believe this. There is not much more to say. This proves that there is still an acceptable form of prejudice in this world! PETA has gone too far.

Just for those who can't see it. It says "Save the whales, Lose the blubber: go vegetarian"

Svoboda Jeans

O.k. You know how I was telling you about the Svoboda Jeans Warehouse Sale on Etsy? Well I bought two pairs of jeans. They look awesome!!! So comfy, high quality, and an absolute pleasure to wear. These might just be the nicest jeans I've ever owned. I like them better than my Seven for All Mankind jeans. I would highly recommend getting in on this sale. It's about 70% off and the shipping is super fast.

The pictures do not do them justice!!! The best part is, I made them an offer of $25 for the Lindsay Jeans (on the right) and they took it!!! That helped with the $30 shipping. Love them! Be sure to read the details as I had to order one size larger for the Lindsay jeans and my regular size for the others.

Nikki Blonsky

Nikki Blonsky ( from Hairspray...which I've never seen) is a woman who loves color/colour. She looks cute and comfy in her printed top and white capris.I love it when "plus size" women wear bold and bright styles.

Beyonce's Sasha Fierce House of Dareon

This is the new ad for Beyonce's clothing line Sasha Fierce.

Brand New Belt

Igigi has done it again. Fashion forward accessories for gorgeous, plus sized women. This belt is one of my favs for Fall. $45 and they do ship to Canada. Perfect belt to accentuate your waist and upper body!

More to Love???? Do you Love it????

Wow! I missed it. I've been reading all about the "Plus Size" dating show More to Love. I would like to hear opinions about it. What did people think????

I know one thing for sure. Some of those dresses are smoking hot! One thing that I heard, which sort of bothered me was that the height and weight of each woman was flashed on the screen when they were introduced. Why??? I don't get that. Do they do that on other reality shows?? Don't think so.

Frye Marta T Strap

Gotta have these. I think they are so beautiful. I think they would look great with white, cabled, over the knee socks.

Frye Marta T Strap

Bidding is currently at $79 plus $15.50 shipping on ebay.

The Queen

Gotta love the Queen! Look at this great style!

Sara Ramirez

Sara Ramirez from Grey's Anatomy has a stunning sense of fashion. I love her look. She is proud and confident and loves her body. Although she doesn't seem to be Plus Sized to me, the media seems to think so. Call it what you want.....She certainly is beautiful.

Many of these items can be found at AdditionElle in their exclusive LouLou Collection.

Right now shipping is 50% off to both Canada and the US.

LouLou Magazine 14+

http://www.louloumagazine.com/english/14plus/

This is a great magazine with an entire section devoted to plus size fashion. The best part is checking out the celebrity plus size section. Love it.

Svoboda Warehouse Sale On Ebay

Svoboda Warehouse Sale

Anyone who has tried Svoboda jeans knows that they are awesome. Usually they run between $150- $200 on average. But, right now they are super cheap on ebay. Canadian shipping is about $30, but it is really worth it for these awesome looking jeans.

These ones in particular are one of my top picks.

You can also follow them on twitter for deals and specials.

Fierce!

I love this look! The price tax is steep at over $5oo. But, why not take the idea and run with it. Pair orange knee socks, sexy shoes, and a chunky necklace with a black dress for this hot look.

Available at Lola and Gigi.

Sexy Boots for the Wide Calf Woman

Canadians Click Here

US Friends Click Here

These boots are exceptional. I ordered them from Zappos.ca and they were at my door within 5 business days. I searched everywhere in Canada for these, but to no avail. However, when you buy them from Zappos they include all taxes and duty in the price. So, no surprises at the border. From my experience the general rule is 18% plus taxes all taxes from your Province.

Rockport Ainly. The all leather top fits perfectly over my size 9 1/4 foot and 17.5" circumference calf. I love the colour and they are tall enough to look awesome with skirts. I'm 5'8" and the boot shaft end just below the knee and actually accentuates the leg. I ordered a 9.5 Wide and

$136 plus taxes and duty. Under $200 total.

Comfy straight out of the box. And it has a removable insert, perfect for those with orthotics.

Available in black too for $152.

Welcome to Voluptuous Canuck

Hey There! My quest for the perfect pair of boots has inspired me to create this blog. After months of searching, I realized that there are not many choices for women who aren't "average" in size.

I love fashion, and although many designers are making an effort to create gorgeous "plus sized" fashion most of it is not available in Canada. Or is hard to find. It is my intention to find great deals, gorgeous styles, and to create a community where "plus sized" chicks can discuss fashion, food, crafts, and anything else we damn well please.
