School's out for summer, my current beach faves

For all my larger busted ladies, I have been spending my entire life searching for bikini tops that cover my larger chest without looking to revealing or having side boob, under boob or accidents where my top slips and reveals my girly parts.  I found these amazing almost sports bra style coverage tops by Boys and Arrows last year, I now own 4 of their tops, 3 of the Deb the Desperado style like above and one that has a little different shape.  It's a close fit being I am a large DDD but they work and I don't have anything popping out.  I have the XL and recommend for ladies 32-38 DD-DDD the back is totally adjustable and ties so that makes it easy to adjust around also makes it possible to fit almost any size from 32-38 maybe even 40 but a D-DD not a DDD.  In the bottoms I have a L in the Petra the Punk and a M in another print, there isn't a huge difference and they are full coverage.  Be cautious when ordering this bottom online because they also have a minimal coverage Petra the Punk bottom that covers a lot less.  I have the Yaya the Yuppy bottoms in Baja,  they run really low cut and are very cheeky but I love the fit, at first I wasn't to fond of it but after losing some weight and toning my behind I actually love it this summer.  I have a super cute black coverup dress that snaps right into the Deb the Desperado top I will be sure to post some pics when I wear it the beach next time, but it is the coolest idea I have seen in some time.


Victoria Secret halter top with fringe ties and ruche back cheeky bottoms in blue. 

This top is a XL and it fits amazing.  I am again larger busted but this top has tie back closure something I recommend to all my larger busted ladies that don't have money or funds to spend on a designer or expensive suit.  I know being larger busted sometimes we feel the only options for us are to invest over $100 on a top but I have a lot of suits from VS and even Target or Walmart I have found in a XL or DD cup ( Target has a sweet selection of D-DD tops this year) some don't have the tie back but when not spending a lot of money we can alter them.  I have taken scissors and removed the clasp on back.  First I hand sew some stitches right where I am planning to cut so the material doesn't come undone, then I cut the clasp off right next to where I stitched and add material from an older suit I no longer where using a needle and thread or you can use your sewing machine also.  Then this adds a tie instead of clasp which makes it adjustable so if you have to get a XL top and its huge around but fits in the cup don't get frustrated it's an easy and cheap fix anyone can do, you don't need any sewing skills trust me.  When I first started years ago I did some crazy sewing but I have since gotten a cheap sewing machine at Walmart on black Friday that was Project Runway and use it for my adjustments and anything I can alter myself.   Hope this is helpful for you larger busted ladies, cause I know the feeling, frustration and pain all to well.  I'm personally hoping to have my chest size reduced over the summer early fall to a C or small D been saving up for a year almost.  I know all to well how much the Struggle is Real.  

Cowboy hat I purchased at the Chili Cook off many years ago, with turquoise accents, White Ray Ban basic glasses, Ouroboros cowrie shell necklace with turquoise stone from Free People and their foot jewelry from Ouroboros Designs direct website.

Summer summer time...

Summer summer time.. It's getting so close I can feel the sun on my face,  sand between my toes and the salt water breeze blowing through my hair.  I am working hard this next week or two to bring you everything you need for the summer and beach.  Not just fashion and swimwear but beauty and fitness posts for that perfect summer body, skin and hair. Also will have lots of must have items from beach chairs, towels and more for you to read my reviews on along with why you need to have them. I know a few years ago my husband got me a beach cart at Sam's club for hauling my chairs, umbrellas and kids items which is the best purchase ever. Even has a built in cooler and makes my beach days a breeze. 

For now wanted to share some cute suits I found before spring break at Target. Every year before Easter I grab my girls new swimwear we have a pool and then spend most of our days over the summer at the beach so for Easter every year I fill their baskets with beach and pool toys then bathing suits. I happened to go to Target when they had their buy one get one half off sale on the swimsuits and got some cute styles for everyone.


I am super excited this year to have found Target carrying the D/DD size tops. Us larger busted ladies have a hard time finding cute suits and for a good price, these are all the D/DD tops and they fit amazing. I am a 34/36 DD/DDD and they all fit me perfectly. This is just a small portion of the styles I got. Most of the pictured suits are for my teen daughter but I also got myself a few and my eight year old got three. My daughter and I wear the same size tops so we share then I am not a fan of matching suits I like to mix and match wearing solid bottoms with a printed or multi color top then solid top with printed bottoms. It's the designer in me I have always loved to mix patterns, solids and textures it is what pleases my eye, to me it looks more out together when it isn't matching. 

Stay tuned I have some really cute stuff coming this week and as I mentioned above a lot of cool products for hair, skin and fitness also to review with everyone. I have an amazing Moroccan argan oil mask that you can carry in your beach bag with a comb to use in your hair after swimming to moisturize your hair in the sun. I also have some amazing fitness products and diet tips for that summer body. With only 9 weeks till summer begins time to start drinking plenty of water and cutting back on sugars and carbs. 

Hope everyone had an awesome weekend. I am back to reality this week after vacation and time off for my injections, all healed up and ready to start taking on some festival and summer fashion at work which I can't wait to share here with all of you. Make sure to head by Target and take a look, they have many other patterns prints and cool suits along with cover ups, shorts, dresses and more that you want to get before everyone has snatched them up. I always love to get my suits when they first bring them in before it is hard to find sizes and sets. Don't forget to get your Target Redcard to save even more when you use it at checkout. 

Happy shopping and let the countdown officially begin to summer xoxo.
