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.

If you follow me on Instagram, you might have seen pictures from my recent trip to Iceland (if you don’t, follow me here!). I completely fell in love with this country and it’s temperamental beauty (which I can totally relate to). A highlight of my trip included a morning at the Blue Lagoon Geothermal Spa, right outside of Reykjavik. It’s one of the 25 Wonders of the World and it is breathtaking and magical! So what do you wear to one of the most beautiful places in the world? A fabulous swimsuit with tiered ruffles in shades of blue from Avenue Plus*!
From the mystical steam to the bright blue water — I felt like I was in another world! The water in the Blue Lagoon is blue from the Silica, Algae and Minerals that exist naturally in this geothermal pool. The water is about 100 degrees — so warm and delightful!

Surfing???? ME????? Really? Yep, I did it. I hauled this bountiful body up onto a surfboard and spent a few hours riding the waves off Waikiki beach in Hawaii this summer. Well…if by “riding” you mean “getting knocked off of the surfboard repeatedly” by waves, then yeah, I totally caught some waves. But you know what? I TOTALLY ROCKED IT and thanks to Juno Active, I looked fierce doing it!
When you’re a big girl contemplating an intense water sport like surfing, you need two things: Support and Coverage. I found both of these things in the Juno Active AquaSport Crossback Tank Swimsuit and the AquaSport Mock Neck Rashguard.
The swimsuit has a high neck and fit tightly so that my chest was supported and not all over the place when I was paddling and trying to pop up on the board. The rashguard is essential to protect you from the sun and the horrible rash that can develop when rubbing your skin over the surfboard when you’re paddling into the water. And of course, I chose both in the Safari print because I wanted to look and feel fierce out there in the water!
I had an absolute blast even though I couldn’t manage to stand up all the way on the surfboard. I’m pretty sure I invented a new sport called “Surf Yoga,” since I managed to do some impressive Downward Facing Dogs while out there. I spent most of the time screaming my head off while heading directly for other surfers. But I loved every minute of it!!
If you are considering trying surfing, here are a few Plus Size Surfer Girl Essentials!
In my last post, I shared some of the cutest plussize bikinis that have been cropping up everywhere this season. I just had to try one…and when I stopped into Forever 21 last week and found this adorable Fruit Frenzy two-piece, I positively swooned! I know this look isn’t for everyone, but if you are confident and daring, try one out this season!
…this Kiyonna Kelly Swimsuit would definitely make a splash! How fantastic is this? It’s got a totally retro vibe thing going on with the ruching, awesome sweetheart neckline, and cute flippy ruffle! And isn’t this ruby color to DIE for???? I was a little nervous about doing a swimsuit shoot, but my friend Perry from Alluring Chicago took these awesome photos and helped me strike some poses. She’s absolutely wonderful, and I had such a blast pretending to be a plussize swimsuit model for a day. 🙂
