Evans Black Embellished Kaftan

A few weeks ago I was approached by Evans to see if I'd like to review something from their swimwear range.  Unfortunately I was sized out of their bikinis, swimdresses and swimsuits because I need a small back and large cup (Evans swimwear is available in dress sizes 14-32 and in cup sizes C-D, DD-E and F-G) so I would have found them too large in the back but too small in the cup.

Plus-size brand Curvissa have long been a brand I've bought from and more recently worked with on my blog.  They have a fab range of women's clothing in sizes 14-32, and cover a wide variety of styles and tastes.

Summer's here!  Well...August is here.  Unfortunately the weather in the UK has left much to be desired for the last few months and there have been few opportunities for people to soak up the sun at the seaside, at the park or in the garden.  That is, until this weekend when the weather has miraculously improved and we're having a mini heatwave!

The previous poor weather hasn't stopped me from poring over the latest offerings from the various lingerie companies and one of the bikinis that has caught my eye this season is the delectable Freya Limbo.

Bikini bonanza!

With the gorgeous weather we were enjoying here in the south east of England (and across much of the UK) today, I decided to spend some time lying out in the garden.  I got back from a holiday on the Mediterranean two weeks ago so it was definitely time to give my fast-fading tan a bit of a top-up.  This has prompted me to write a post on bikinis as I dug one out of the drawer today to wear in my garden.


If you have read my previous posts, you will know all about my struggle to find my 'ideal' bra.  This struggle extends to bikinis, which are even more problematic as matching briefs are required.  Some of you might think that matching briefs are also a requirement with bras - having recently purchased matching sets in abundance I am now in the position to wholeheartedly agree with you!  However, up until a couple of months ago, I was forced to be satisfied with simply finding a comfy, well-fitting bra, and matching briefs were stuff dreams were made of.
