January 7, 2016
 
plus size womens workout clothes- plus size activewear- mycurvesandcurls.com

Today we are talking about plus size clothes and activewear something we rarely talk about on this blog. The main reason is that the plus size community can be sensitive when it comes to plus size bloggers talking about their workout routines or anything fitness related.

 Let’s be real; fat girls work out too!

Blogging about body positivity does not mean we do not hit the gym. We love cute plus size activewear just like anybody else. Most people think that the gym is a punishment and………. they might be right. It is a punishment for the yummy cake you’ve eaten the day before. Alright, all jokes aside, I am not a big fan of the gym either but I know it’s something I have to do to feel good and release some of that extra energy. Exercising is not just for losing weight at least not for me. My body feels amazing after a good workout. I try to work out at least four times a week.

SHOP THE TREND: Plaid options for plus size women

September 28, 2014

Plaids are so in this season. I see them everywhere, and for once the plus size fashion stores have picked up on this trend  quickly. Eloquii has an amazing collection. Plaid is a wardrobe staple during the fall season, whether it’s a pair of shoes, coats or scarves.
Here are a few ways I love to wear mines here, here,  here,  here, here, here

!function(doc,s,id){ var e, p; if(!doc.getElementById(id)) { e = doc.createElement(s); e.id = id; p = ‘//shopsensewidget.shopstyle.com/widget-script.js’; var cb = new Date().getTime(); p += ‘?cb=’ + cb; e.src = p; doc.body.appendChild(e); } if(typeof window.ss_shopsense === ‘object’){ if(doc.readyState === ‘complete’){ window.ss_shopsense.init(); } } }(document, ‘script’, ‘shopsensewidget-script’);

Fall Ankle Boots Under ($100)

September 5, 2014

Ankle boots

Post updated with new options Sept 2018.

When it comes to fall shopping ankle boots are always on my list of thing to get. Over the years, I have accumulated a few pairs, but you can never have enough. There are hot colors and styles every year. This season, for instance, white boots are really hot. I just got a pair from Payless but not sure how I feel about them just yet. Below, I am sharing some of my favorite ankle boots and the good news is they are all under $100.

If you wear a size 12 or more I would also suggest checking Dorothy Perkins,  Zappos, Nordstrom, and long Tall Sally.

Happy Shopping!

My visit to Toronto plus size store ” Your Big Sister’s Closet”

July 24, 2014
   I’ve really enjoyed being behind the lense lately. After being photographed at least twice week for the last few years, I am loving working on the other side of the camera. I was very excited when Karen Ward from The Curvy Canadian and co-owner of Your Big Sister’s Closet extended an invitation to visit her store.Your big Sister’s Closet is a plus size boutique/store located in Toronto, Ontario. The store so beautifully set up, and is filled with racks of color coordinated skirts, fit and flare dresses, accessories, and more……. Their clothes cater to women sizes 12US to 24 US in select styles.As you can see in pictures above I played dress up for a few hours. Oh! By the way, I also met the sweetest saleswoman also a blogger over at Not Afraid To Wear Heels. I am really glad I visited the store and I can’t wait to go back. As much as I love shopping online and in department stores, I am equally all for supporting our local stores. Karen is such an inspiring woman.She is not one who only sat and complained about the lack of diversity in clothing in Canada, but actually did something about it. Btw, Your Big Sister’s Closet also has an online store with free international shipping. Yes, free international shipping !

Women’s plus line now available on OldNavy.ca !

August 21, 2013
Hey loves, In case you are not already aware , I am  happy to report that Old Navy has launched their women’s plus line in Canada. If you are a big fan of old Navy like I am, then you must be jumping off your chair too. Yes, we, full figured Canadian women will finally be able to buy trendy plus size dresses, jeans, tops, skirts and more from Oldnavy.ca right out of the comfort of our own homes. I usually shop in store and most items that are size XXL would fit me, so shopping on oldnavy.ca will be a new experience for me as well.
I feel like I am on repeat today, but again I have been a fan and shopper of Old Navy items for many years. It’s kinda hard to beat their stylish clothes and great prices. If you are a reader of this blog, then you must already know that one of my favourite items is the Rockstar denim. They are so flattering and comfortable, check out some of my posts here, here and here.

From now on, when you go on oldnavy.ca you will see the women’s plus line as the second tab in the top navigation. Let’s just say its hard to miss! They have a great selections of dresses, shirts, blouses, skirts, pants, sweaters all from sizes 16 to 30. Their Jeans are currently on sale until August 29th and they starting only at $19, it’s definitely a time for me to stock up for Fall.

Now let’s get to the good part. Above are some of the items I want. Summer is almost over, but this sequined chiffon tank is too cute to pass by.The mustard cross body tassel bag, and the twill surplus-Style Vest are definite must haves for me. As for the wide-Calf boots I’ve added both to my list because I cannot decide on the colour yet. My list would not be completed without a pair of slim boyfriend jeans. Although this is not part of the women’s line , I have been eyeing this Women’s belted jersey maxi dress for a while. It comes in four colours, but honestly I would not mind having all 4 of them.

The women’s Plus line is available exclusively at www.oldnavy.ca. You can shop 24/7, with free shipping on orders $50 or more and free returns every day. Not a big fan of online shopping? No problems, BORIS (Buy Online, Return In Store) will come to your rescue. If you don’t like the goods, Old Navy offers free returns via shipping or in store returns. You already know I will be on the site today to get my shopping on, so I will tell you all about my experience in the coming posts.
