TGIF all!

Last night I had the pleasure of attending Monif C’s preview of her new swimsuit collection “My Beach Is Better”.   If you are not familiar with plus size designer Monif Clarke, please let me introduce you! Monif C is known for clothing that allows plus women to feel gorgeous and sexy.  Her creations are curve loving and blow all  fashion “rules” for plus size women out the window.  This is also true for her latest swimsuit collection.  You’ll find no garish floral print and unflattering silhouettes here! These suits are all about flaunting your wonderful body without worrying about what others think.

Here are a few swimsuits from the new collection:

 

A black & white swimsuit is high on my Summer “must have” list so when I saw this geometric print suit, I was in love!

Another bonus was  hanging out with some of my favorite bloggers!

I gotta give a shout out to my Philly crew, Colleen of Short Curvy Fierce and Yve for making the trip to NYC so worth it. Whenever we get together we always have a great time and last night was no different. Thanks Colleen and Yve for hanging with me!

Showing Love….

Happy Valentine’s Day all!

I hope everyone is enjoying their VDay (I’m still snowed in…ARGH!!!). I’ve come to learn that VDay is not only for couples but its a day to show love to family, friends and more importantly yourself.  I want to put a different spin on a traditional VDay post and highlight some brands that deserve some  love this holiday!

Curvaceous K

Curvaceous K is one of the few plus size boutiques in NYC that house curvy labels such as IGGI, Chinoo Designs and MYNT 1792.  Unfortunately they need our help so they can continue to stay open to provide quality clothing to curvy fashionistas.  Curvaceous K owner Kelly has started an Indiegogo campaign to generate funds to help keep her store operating.   As plus size women we all know the frustrations we feel because of the lack of brick & mortar stores for us.  We now have an opportunity to help this boutique in their time of need.  This VDay lets show some love to Curvaceous K and support her amazing boutique.

Josephine Swim

Josephine Swim is a new plus size luxury swim line. They aim to offer chic and quality swimwear to curvy girls.  Josephine Swim is not the frumpy, garish suits of old. These bathing suits aim to highlight and show off your curves.  I already have my eye on theZanibar one piece for the Summer! With sizes ranging from 0x-3x you might find one that appeals to you so definitely show them some love!

IGIGI

iggiIt’s no secret I’m a huge fan of IGIGI and their wonderful dresses.  As you already know IGIGI is all about loving your body and using fashion to express this.  Check out their Spring look book here and show them some love this VDay!

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!!!
