The Magnificent 7th - Beachwear!


Hello all!  This month’s theme is the beach.

We will be posting on the 7th of each month, and the aim of the challenge is to create an outfit to fit the theme, using clothes from our wardrobes, and yes that does mean digging deep into the depths and finding those long lost clothes! Hopefully one of us won’t end up in Narnia, but you never know with a bloggers wardrobe!

Unfortunately I have to cheat a little bit. I am involved with the #flashtheflesh blogger challenge which focussed on beachwear yesterday and I used my one outfit on that.
Instead I decided to have a look around on the internet and find my dream beachwear outfit, which I have posted below.  Sorry to the other ladies involved in the challenge,  I will do better next month! 

Evans Blue Gold Trim Swimsuit £20.00





Dolce & Gabbana Iconic Logo Sunglasses £176.00

My Favourite Quote

“You can be the ripest, juiciest peach in the world, and there's still going to be somebody who hates peaches.”

― Dita Von Teese

There is so much that can be learnt from this quote. It took me so long in my life to figure out that everybody has different tastes and what suits one will not suit another.

There is not one “correct” way to look. We are all different for a reason and that should be celebrated. We do not come off a factory line shaped like Ken and Barbie and if we did, what would the fun in that?

These days I focus on being happy rather than trying to attain to be a particular size, look a certain way, or be a particular type of person. A happy confident person is attractive, no matter what you look like.

Check out the favourite quotes from the other ladies in this challenge!

Flash the Flesh Part 3


When a group of bloggers join together for a chat you know that the final result has to be super!! This happened once more when, a few weeks ago, we were talking about our preferences between mini and maxi and Becky  thought that it would be great to create a challenge which goal was to show a little bit more skin and our body (but with style and no vulgarity) showing proudly our curves. And so it was born “Flash the Flesh”.

This is now the third installment in the Flash the Flesh challenge and all the women involved have done brilliantly.   After the second challenge the idea was bandied around about doing a beachwear edition.  Cue me running away at lightening speed.

But then, a funny thing happened.  I came back.  I looked at the idea afresh, saw some of the other bloggers in the challenge saying “Definately” “Why not” and “I’m in” with no hesitation.   I wanted that lack of hesitation.   So here I am. 

I bought this swimdress a couple of years ago for a wedding/holiday with my best friend, her husband to be and some of our closest friends.   Unfortunately where I bought it from completely escapes me, not very helpful, I know.

I apologise for the rabbit in headlights expression on my face in the picture.  Every voice in my head is telling me not to be in this challenge and definately not to post these pictures but I won’t listen to it. 


I only added this photograph this morning after reading some of
the other posts.  If they can do it, so can I.


A gratuitous breast shot to distract you from the other two pictures

So there you have it! Me in a swimdress and a wrap, on the internet.  Without evening seeing the other posts I know already that I haven't been as brave as some of the other ladies, but it is a giant step for me; which I am glad that I have taken.

What swimwear are you wearing this Summer?
