Bikinis for BIG BOOBS!

Hello there! 

As summer has arrived, and my holiday is getting closer and closer the mammoth task of finding a bikini that will fit (nicely) onto my big boobs has begun. In about the last 4 years I have put on weight everywhere, but also gone up 3/4 bra cup sizes. 

I have started to find bikinis for anyone and everyone just aren't flattering for my size. I's love to be able to go into H&M and buy their bikinis (I have looked and there are some lovely ones), but I just can't really do it anymore. 

Quite a lot of big department stores like Debenhams and John Lewis, will have a section for 'fuller bust' (DD+), but I haven't seen ones with patterns that I overly like. I decided I would try ASOS; firstly because I, as most people know, love ASOS, and secondly because I know there would be such a wide variety that I would be able to buy loads and pick my top. 

The two bikinis that are pictured below are both from ASOS, but one is a Freya bikini. I know Freya is extremely pricey, but both bras and bikinis just fit really nicely. I love the high waisted bottoms I have for both, as my tummy is my problem area. 





Anyone have any advise for finding bigger sizes of bikinis, I'm desperate for a bandeau style one?

Ascot 2014

So yesterday I went to Ascot! I went two years ago, and me and my friends decided to go again. It is quite an expensive day, but I do think it is worth it, for one day a year! The weather was lovely (even maybe a little too hot, but I don't want to complain)! 

I stole a free dress from my sister's wardrobe, as I am running low on money! haha. I did buy new shoes though, which I love. They did absolutely kill my feet, not because of the height, but because they were just new, so should off worn them a little bit beforehand. 

I was so proud of my makeup! I used a youtube tutorial (which I will link here), and used the Urban Decay Naked Palette


Fascinator - Debenhams
Dress - Mango

My makeup (ignore that irritating piece of white fluff on my eye!)

Everyone 

What have you been up to in this lovely weather?

Finally got my boyfriend back!!

So as you may or may not know I have a boyfriend, who I have been with for nearly 4 years! When we are at Uni we see each other every other weekend, which is quite tough anyway, but for this time we weren't seeing each other for a month! I'm not going to lie it was really tough, but on Tuesday he was finally home! I was sooooo excited!! We went out for dinner to pizza express which was nice, and really cheap (as we used a voucher). 

Here is what i wore, and obviously a selfie of me and the boyf!

Surprise birthday meal!

Necklace - 
Top - Topshop
Shorts - H&M
Sandals - Primark

Recently I've gone out with my best girlfriends and this is what I wore!

Once again this was a bargain buy from H&M. I found these shorts in the bikini section in store (can't find them online). It's suddenly got really hot so I thought I would brave it for dinner and get my legs out! haha. I wish these shorts were a little more high waisted than they are, but I will get over it, as they were such a good buy. 

Have you found any good summer buys?

Casual OOTD

Necklace - Zara
Dress - H&M
Cardigan - River Island
Bag - Accessorize
Converse

I find H&M are really good for simple pieces that you can add to your wardrobe. This dress was so cheap, I think it was only £7.99, which is crazy good. Also if you haven't taken a look at Zara accessories go there now!! They have amazing statement necklaces, and aren reasonably priced also.

The Hayden Jean

I have always been a skinny jean kinda girl, so when I saw all of these baggy sort of styles of jeans start becoming popular I was unsure whether I would be able to pull them off. 

A while ago when Topshop had extra student discount I decided to treat myself. I bought loads of pairs in different styles/sizes, and decided out of them. I decided to go for the simple ripped at the knee light colour ones, as I thought for the summer they will look great. The only thing about them is that around the waist they are too big, but a size down they were too tight on my legs, so I would definitely recommend trying a few pairs on. I have just ordered a chunky belt to wear with them to keep them up!

I have worn them so much recently, but these are 3 different looks that I have chosen to show you! (sorry the pictures are a bit crappy!)

The link for the jeans is here.
