Summer Essentials from Gwynnie Bee: Fresh Squeezed Orange

If you’ve seen my Instagram account this month, you’ll know that only one color is calling my name this season: ORANGE. I can’t get enough of this bright, fun and unexpected hue! One of my favorite orange plus size dresses is this City Chic Zip Front Tunic Dress that I got from Gwynnie Bee. It’s a fresh squeezed summer essential and I can’t stop wearing it!

Plus Size Swimsuit: Swim Sexy

So many sexy plus size swimsuits have flooded the market! Five years ago, there were ZERO bikinis for plus sizes, and extremely limited choices in a range dull colors. How times have changed!! Colorful, fun, sexy and trendy plus size swimsuits are EVERYWHERE now! And have you seen the ad campaigns related to them? The recent Swimsuits For All Swim Sexy campaign featuring Ashley Graham, Nicola Griffin, and Philomena Kwao was groundbreaking (see it here), and I seriously almost cried when I saw those beautiful, diverse bodies represented on a national scale. As a Fullbeauty.com Ambassador, I was thrilled that Swimsuits For All is one of their partner brands and I knew I had to have one. As soon as I saw it, I fell in love with this red hot polka dot bikini! It’s actually called the Swim Sexy Diva White Dot High Waist Bikini and you can find it on Fullbeauty.com.

The halter top and highwaisted bottoms in this fun dot print made me feel like a retro pinup girl from the 50s. Swim Sexy suits run small, so definitely order one size up and it’ll fit perfectly! 
I wore this plus size bikini during my recent trip to Iceland when I visited the Fontana Geothermal Baths as part of my “Warm Baths, Cool Lights” Tour that I booked with IcelandAir. The scenery was spectacular, and the chance to experience the geothermal baths like the locals was amazing. And OMG if you go, you have to taste the bread that’s made there — they bake it in underground ovens with the natural heat from the earth. AMAZING.

Summer Style: Plus Size White Eyelet Midi Dress from Jessica London

It almost Memorial Day…and that means — get out your gorgeous white dresses! Although I’m a big believer in breaking fashion “rules” and don’t really abide by the “no-white-after-Labor-Day,” I can’t deny that Memorial Day feels like summer and summer means white! This white plus size dress from Jessica London on Fullbeauty.com is the perfect dress to wear to welcome summer!  The white eyelet is so crisp and the sleeveless shape with a collar and a tie belt feels preppy and not too sweet.

The key to a great plus size white dress is quality fabric. It can’t be too see through and it needs some structure. That’s what I love about this Jessica London dress. The eyelet fabric has some structure and is weighty enough so that when placed over the white cotton lining, you can’t see through it. I bought this dress as a “maybe” — because I thought the midi length might look a little frumpy and shapeless. But I’m SO glad I got it…the length hits me just below the knee and flares out a bit. The sleeveless shirtdress silhouette looks immaculate when rendered in white eyelet. The tie belt pulls it in and gives me a relaxed shape. Overall, it’s a great dress and I’ll definitely be wearing it throughout the summer!

Plus Size Style: Polka Dot Shirtdress and Red Heels

Memorial Day is just around the corner, and you know what that means…SUMMER IS HERE! Plus size summer style is all about great dresses in adorable prints. And you know I’m a sucker for polka dots…this blue and white polka dot shirtdress from Ellos on Fullbeauty.com is everything that is right about summer style.

This cotton shirtdress is my favorite! No really — I loved it so much in the red stripe (see the post here) that I had to have it in the polka dot too! The full gathered skirt with the nipped in waist and buttons all down the front is so retro–and not to mention flattering! It’s such an easy, chic dress that is appropriate for just about any occasion this summer! Wear it with flats or with a fabulous pair of heels like these Steve Madden red fringe sandals that I found at Macy’s a few months ago!

Great summer style is all about easy outfits that can work overtime when you where them to street festivals, brunch outings, shopping trips and everything in between! This plus size tunic dress is so light and has great air flow (something that gets very important as the weather heats up! It’s on the shorter side, so if you’re tall like me but don’t want to show so much leg, just throw on some black leggings and some flats and you’ll look adorable.

Things I love about this dress: 1) the strategically placed black colorblocking at the center and sides is very flattering 2) The print is tropical and inviting and makes me want to travel to far-flung locales and 3) It’s light and easy to wear, so you can throw it on when you are running late and you’ll look pulled together and fabulous.
Oh, and did I mention the reversible PU Shopper Bag? I love the burnt orange side! It’s super practical and fits all of your impulse buys when you’re wandering around the shops this summer!
