I’ve got a long body and my bust and hip measurements are different, so I prefer a bikini that allows me to mix and match my sizes. That way I can get the best possible fit! Here are a few I’ve found this season that have caught my eye – what style do you like? View Post
I’ve been for my first ocean swim of the season this week (over a week earlier than my first swim last year!), and that means that it’s time to start talking swimsuits. My swimsuit special is back for another year, and we’re going to kick things off with one pieces. Here are ten of my favourite plus size one piece swimsuits for 2015, bring on summer! View Post
Leopard print is one of those timeless autumn/winter prints, and apparently it’s considered a neutral. I’m not so sure leopard print is really in the same league as navy, black and grey (although perhaps it depends on the type of leopard print?!), but as it is a fashion fave for so many people, perhaps it’s time to let a little leopard slink into my wardrobe!
Summer in New Zealand is really from late December to mid-late March, making now the prime time to get your swimsuit on and head to the beach. If you’ve decided that you’re going to rock a two piece this summer and want a bit of extra coverage on your tummy or you love the look of vintage swimsuits then high waisted is the way to go.
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.
