Bold and bright

With summer now officially here (by calendar, if not by temperature), it’s time to bring out the bold and bright colours. Even if your wardrobe is mostly black on black (hey, we’ve all been there), you can add in a little pop of colour with some gorgeous accessories – my post today has been inspired by this gorgeous Saben bag…

Plus size coats for spring

Just when you’re lying in the warm sun thinking that summer is just around the corner, BAM! It starts raining and the cold wind starts blowing, reminding you that it is still very much spring. When I was out for my walk this morning, I found myself thinking about how necessary it is to have a good coat at this time of year! Here are a few of my fave finds at the moment…

What to wear to the races

Racing season is upon us, and if you’re planning on attending any of the events over the next six months then you will need to be well dressed! A certain standard of dress is expected (you can read the dress code for Ellerslie here), and if you’ve never been before then it can be quite daunting trying to figure out what to wear to the races – but never fear, I’ve found some great frocks that will have you race ready in no time…

Swimsuit Special 2014: Bikini

A few months ago I was contacted by a reporter to talk about the popularity of the fatkini (that’s bikinis for plus size babes, y’all). I declined for a number of reasons, one of them being that the media outlet interviewing me has a history of body shaming and I would much rather use my body positive blog to talk about why I love wearing a bikini! I love swimsuits of all different cuts, but two piece bathing suits have to be my favourite – you can mix and match patterns and choose different sizes depending on your body shape. Bikinis always make me feel brave and powerful, because for so many years I shied away from them. But no more! There are loads of different shapes, styles and prints to help you look and feel fabulous.

Swimsuit Special 2014: Tankini

Following on from my post about must-have one piece swimsuits, now I’m looking at two pieces – something that can be a big step in terms of body confidence for some people. Do you want to wear a two piece but don’t want to bare your stomach? Or do you have a long torso and find it hard to get a swimsuit that works for you? Tankinis are the perfect answer! You can mix and match them for the perfect combination for you…

Plus Size Swimsuit Simply Be Bespoke Tankini Set - Snakeskin

I’m going to make the call and say that this is the coolest tankini I’ve ever seen. Not just because of the snakeskin print (which is amazing), but because of the sizing options. View Post
