Your Guide to Curvy Gal Swimwear

It’s here! Your Curvy Gal Swimwear Guide.

I tried to keep all comfortability levels in mind here as I put this guide together. I love color and this summer, I am pushing myself to extend my love of color into my swimwear picks! Of course, I did keep some classic styles and colors in mind!

Black and White Gingham

by thatblonderebelLeave a Comment on Black and White Gingham

Hi friends!

It’s been a wild couple of weeks. I haven’t felt like I’ve been able to invest time into the blog like I would like to. And honestly, things seem to not be slowing down.

On that note, Summer is upon us and I’m all about the easy fabrics that are easy to throw on. Insert this linen gingham number. I also see me wearing this with a denim jacket.

One more day until the weekend y’all. I don’t like doing this, but I’m counting down. Your girl needs to relax, unwind, and recharge.

Be sure to stop by tomorrow. My curvy gal swimwear guide will be up!

Do Not Disturb

Friends. We need to talk about the most important thing that happens in bed…

Your sleep, duh!

Two summers ago, when I first moved to Houston, I ordered a mattress off of Amazon. Now, no offense to Amazon, but the mattress has been hell. Lumpy, sinking, and not the best quality. You can ask my friends and coworkers. I would start my day not standing up straight, aching, and uncomfortable. I was kind of at my wits end.

Enter Big Fig. I got this new mattress about two months ago. And y’all. The sleeping game has changed. You get the white glove service, which means my old bed was removed and the new mattress set up for me upon delivery. This bed was specifically made to cushion, comfort, and support more body weight. It is firm (it has 1600 individual coils – whoa)! It has given support a whole new meaning. There are four layers of foam that is built for comfort. I am sleeping so much better and it is because of this mattress, I know it. Yes, I’m working with Big Fig, but my opinions are my own, and I could not recommend this bed enough. If you’re experiencing any aches and pains like I was, I would definitely check them out.

13 dresses

Friends! It is WEDDING SEASON!

So far, I have five weddings on the books this year, two of which I’m in. We’re in that phase of life, am I right? These will be my 12th and 13th time being a bridesmaid. Sometimes, it feels like 27 dresses is me LOL but on a serious note, where do you shop for bridesmaid dresses when you’re a curvy gal who wants to be comfortable, conscious of the wallet, look great, and leave it all on the dance floor?!

I recently partnered with David’s Bridal to explore some options for this Summer and I am happy to share that I’ve found some real winners. Dresses run pretty true to size, are available in multiple styles and colors, and sizes 0-30!

My requirements for my bridesmaid dresses? Both floor length, one has a no chiffon request, one black, and one blush. What’s great about DB is that it’s a one-stop shop. Pick out your dress, order said dress, get your dress altered. Voila! Sharing some pics of options.

Can’t wait to show y’all what I actually wear on my besties’ big days!

Also, I’m aware that I maybe actually look too tan in the photos below. Thanks to self tanner and the preset I use (insert laughing emoji here lol).
