Lifes a Beach(ball) with Swimsuits For All!

Bikini: c/o Swimsuits For All. Sandals: Simply Be. Sunglasses: Specsavers. Hair Orchid: Gypsy Rose Vintage.

I'm here again with even more swimmer, yes I'm completely embracing swimwear this summer on the blog because I've spent so many years hiding away when it started hotting up but NO LONGER! I love this so much I just want to wear it all the time but I'm not sure that would go down well in my hometown! Now at the (not so grand) age of 22 I've finally decided I'm going to fully embrace the body that I have as even though I have days where I question myself overall I'm comfortable with the skin I'm in. 

I've always LOVED Swimsuits For All but I've never been brave enough to take the plunge and order from them so when they popped me a message seeing if I'd like to try a few of their pieces I almost bit their hands off! I've always thought the collection were so flattering and I just knew I'd feel really confident in them, which of course I do! Here I'm wearing the Swim Sexy Isander Halter High Waist Bikini, for starters I adore the print and can't wait to feel a little pin up on the beach but over all its extremely comfortable and I adore the bottoms! I was initially worried about the fact it has no underwire's but I had no need to as I feel fine in this! (and it probably makes it more comfortable) For reason its in US sizing and I believe I got either a US 18 or 20 which is around a UK 20/22 depending.

I'm so in love with Swimsuits For All I can't wait to show you the other two pieces they sent me! You can check out their full selection of Bikini's and two pieces here.

60s Inspired with Wingz Fashion!

Dress: Simply Be (old) Sleeves: c/o Wingz Fashion. 

 "The thing with Wingz is – they are a bit different.

Wingz are not a bra or lingerie, but they aren’t a top or outerwear either. When faced with your first ever pair of Wingz, it can seem a little bit confusing – how exactly do you put them on?

That’s why the clever people at Wingz HQ have put together this video, showing you in easy steps how to put them on without ending up with your sleeve over your head, or the band around your neck. It really is this easy." - taken from Wingz Fashion website and video below from their YouTube.

 

 The lovely team over at Wingz Fashion offered me the chance to review on of their pieces to review and after having one to try a number of years ago I thought this would be the perfect chance to try a newer model. I was sent this before Christmas but due to having my grandad in hospital etc and blogger deleting my original scheduled post I've only had chance to show you the snaps now! I've decided to include the video above as I wasn't sure how to explain what to do with it etc so I thought it would help! I think these are a fabulous idea for anyone who is a little self conscious of their arms and they don't mean you have to cover that lovely sleeveless dress with a shapeless cardigan! I often wear long sleeved tops under dresses as well but sometimes I end up boiling hot so I find my wingz really handy for just adding a little coverage without the added bulk. they stay well under your dress as the sleeve head is elasticated  so sits well on your shoulder without easily slipping down, so you shouldn't be having to tuck them under or pull them up for the time you're wearing them which is always handy!

I decided to style it up with a retro 60s feel. I adore this dress from Simply Be the colour, print and it's velvet what more could you want from a wintry garment, I've always worn a black tee under it but the wingz is a lovely alternative. I paired it with a vibrant lip colour which is MUA's Criminal and it's fabulous but I haven't braved wearing it out in public yet just in the house! Along with some heavy eyeliner and lashings of mascara, something I rarely do now which means it now takes me twice as long to get even flicks!

Have you tried any of the Wingz Fashion products and what did you think?

The Fat Fabulous Four Challenge!

Today (well normally Saturday evenings but I'm late... my time skills are awful!) is the launch of  a lovely little challenge collaboration between me (obviously), Becky of The Ramblings of Mrs BeBe, Toni of The only way is Toni and Mhairi of Lilybobombs. We will all be bringing you a new post every two weeks on a saturday with our own takes on some top trends and styles, starting this week with lace!

Dress: Asos Curve. Black Tee/(P)leather Jacket: Dorothy Perkins. Trainers: Matalan (£5!)

Now I'm a massive fan of lace, I own a large quantity of the it but this is the only non black piece I own. I have worn it without a long sleeved top under but it was so bloody cold today that I had to! The only downside to this dress is the white top piece under the lace slides down, I wore it to see One Direction as few weeks back and they got an eyeful as they passed over us that's for sure! 

These trainers have hardly been off my feet since I picked them up in the Matalan sale for a fiver! I bought them for summer but as all my shoes have slowly fallen apart and these were the only things that didn't let water in I had to start wearing them and now I honestly don't think they'll last that long! My (p)leather jacket was also thrown on for a little warmth, something else I've hardly had off since I got it back in January! 

Do you still see lace as a fancy even sexy fabric? Or do you wear it casually as well?
