Summer 2016 Plus Size Swimwear and Beachwear Round Up Part 2

I have been trying out a variety of swimwear this summer and I am continuing to feature these pieces across my social media accounts. I am doing this not only to find new items for myself but also to show others what these things look like on me in the hope that I might inspire someone to try something different. Needless to say I can't afford to keep all of these items, more's the pity! But I still take the time to photograph the pieces and share them on social media so that other people can get an idea of what they look like on a plus size curvy body.

So, without any further ado, let's look at the second batch of pieces I've tried recently. For reference, you can see my first post here.

Summer 2016 Plus Size Swimwear and Beachwear Round Up Part 1

You might've noticed I've been rather absent here of late. It happened for myriad reasons but mostly because I have simply been busy with life (mainly my work life). It takes a LONG time to put together a blog review post, and I just haven't had the energy or the time to do it for the past few weeks. 

However, it's relatively quick and easy to pop a short review on Instagram, and that's where you'll mostly find me these days. For those not in the know, Instagram is a photo sharing social media platform where people post all sorts of pictures on their profiles to share with the world. IG is my favourite of all the social media platforms because it is mostly friendly - in my experience, at least - and I love scrolling through my timeline to discover all sorts of beautiful images and inspirational posts. If you don't already, you can follow me on Instagram here.

Curvy Kate Shockwave Padded Bikini Top 34K and Adjustable Short 20

Full-busted lingerie brand Curvy Kate has become my go-to brand for swimwear over the past few years, and I am gradually building up my collection of their bikinis. Back in December I went to Mexico for a week's holiday and I bought myself a few pieces from CK's past collections to take on the trip. Today I will be reviewing the Shockwave Bikini (Spring/Summer 2015).

Curvy Kate Moonflower Black Floral Padded Bikini Top 34K and Ruched Back Brief 20

A brand I can always rely on for great-looking bra-sized swimwear is Curvy Kate. They make a wide range of styles, colours, and prints, and any time I need a new bikini they are one of the first brands I'll check out.

Just before my holiday to the Greek island of Zakynthos back in late August I was thrilled when the lovely ladies at CK sent me the Moonflower Black Floral Bikini.

Panache Swim Elle Tropical Print Balconnet Bikini Top 34J and Classic Briefs 18

Goodness me, it's been a very long time since I last wrote a proper blog post. 2015 has been incredibly busy, both personally and professionally, and so I had to put a hold on blogging for a while. That's always awkward when brands have sent items to review, but fortunately I work with some really fantastic brands who are very understanding and patient. I have tried to keep a presence on social media so that I didn't completely disappear, so do make sure you are following me on all my channels to keep up to date with me (links to these are at the top of the right hand sidebar).

I have quite a few swimwear and lingerie pieces that I need to review so that's what I intend to focus on for these first few posts.

Lingerie brand Panache not only sell some gorgeous underwear, but they also make bra-sized swimwear in a range of colours, prints, and cuts. Before my Caribbean holiday earlier this year they very kindly sent me a few bikinis to try, and today I am reviewing the Panache Swim Elle Tropical Print Balconnet Bikini.

Curvy Kate Luau Love Flamingo Pink Padded Bikini Top 34K and High Waist Brief 22

If you're looking for bra-sized swimwear, a great brand to try is Curvy Kate. Their swimwear collections get better every year and the 2015 collection is just fabulous. I was sent a couple of bikini sets for my recent Caribbean holiday to the Dominican Republic and today I will be sharing with you my thoughts on the Luau Love Padded Bikini (£35, 30-40 D-K) and High Waist Brief (£25, UK 8-22).

Panache Swim Tallulah Purple Animal Balconnet Bikini Top 34J and Fold Pant 20

It's been a couple of weeks since I last posted, so apologies for that. I have had quite a busy month and I just haven't been able to find time to sit down and blog. However, today I am back and as we are fast approaching summer here in the UK I wanted to bring you a swimwear review.

I have been sent a number of bikinis recently and I will be reviewing them all here on Curvy Wordy over the next few weeks. In this post I will be reviewing the Panache Tallulah Purple Animal Balconnet Bikini and Fold Pant.
