Simply Be Fashion hits the blog-o-sphere
0 Comments
The plus-size model debate has been raging over on our Facebook page and it seems our customers are keen to see the Simply Be Fashion Collection on real plus size women. So we thought we’d devote today’s blog to all the gorgeous, curvy bloggers who’ve been writing about our stuff over the last couple of months.

Oh the places you’ll go
www.boombands.blogspot.com
This fabulous little blog is written by Em. X – a lovely curvaceous woman that totally loves fashion. Over the last couple of months she’s written quite a few blogs about Simply Be. Naturally, we’re delighted – especially because she looks so totally gorgeous in everything she wears!
One of the great things about Em’s blog is that she posts pictures and videos – so you can see the look in action and actually hear what she has to say about it (in that amazing Aussie accent!) So head over and see what she’s done with our Tribal Print Dress (above), our Floral Maxi Dress and our Anna Scholz Print Dress.

Next on the list is Pocket Rocket Fashion. Written by the lovely Lauren, it’s filled with gorgeous shots of the lady herself wearing the season’s hottest looks! As you can see from the picture above, she is quite the fashionista, wearing the latest lace trend straight from the Simply Be collection.
We’re particularly impressed by how different Lauren looks in all her shots. In one post she’s pretty and girly… in the next cool and on-trend… then shortly afterwards, cute ‘n quirky – it just goes to show that fashion really can take you anywhere!

The Fat Nurse

And finally – The Fat Nurse, a blog that follows the fashion-forays of Devon, a curvy nurse from Essex. This is your down-to-earth, ‘tell you what I love and what I don’t’ kind of blog and we adore it! The pictures are quirky, as you can see from the one we’ve chosen above. It’s our Jungle Maxi Dress but shown from the back, which is a great take on it, don’t you think?
And that’s not the only Simply Be look that we’ve seen on her blog! There was the one with our Peek-a-boo Leggings… the one with our Spicy Summer Dress… the one with our Miracle Swimsuit … ooh we do like being liked!
This blog is all about loving curves, wearing what you like but knowing what suits your figure and your style. And it’s not just fashion, there’s a bit of beauty, plenty of accessories and lots of opinions. Though if you don’t like swearing, it might not be for you 
Thanks to all three bloggers for letting us use their images – we really appreciate it ladies!
Products featured in this blog… Tribal Print Dress… Floral Maxi Dress… Frock and Frills Lace Dress… Jungle Maxi Dress… Peek-a-boo Leggings… Spicy Summer Dress… Miracle Swimsuit.
Life’s a beach!

There’s been so much talk of sunshine and airports over the last couple of weeks that we just can’t get ‘holidays’ out of our heads. So guess what we’re talking about today – you got it, your holiday wardrobe! Starting of course, with beachwear, because let’s face it, most of us are planning little foray to the seaside this year, even if it’s just to Sunny Devon!
The plus-size debate
Choosing a beach look is infinitely more difficult for us curvy girls than it is for those skinny minnie’s, so we thought we’d give you a quick run through of your options – you know, show you what you can wear, how you can cover up if you’re not totally comfortable with your curves and let you in on a secret the stars would probably like to keep to themselves. How does that sound? Good? Then read on ladies!
The plus size bikini
Do you show your belly, don’t you show your belly? It’s the age-old debate for us plus size women. The answer depends on you and your figure. We don’t want to get caught up in the whole ‘shape’ debate, but if you’re an ‘hourglass’, you’ll probably be more comfortable in a bikini than an ‘apple’. At the end of the day, it all comes down to confidence. And if you feel good in a bikini, there’s no reason you shouldn’t wear one.
So we’ve chosen two gorgeous plus size bikinis to show you. The first, by famed lingerie brand Freya, is a must for big-busted ladies. As you’d expect from the bra experts, it gives great support. The halterneck style and soft cups are a great alternative to underwiring – and we think this colour combo is particularly slimming on a plus size figure.
For a more fun and frivolous bikini, turn to our beach-to-beach number. Polka dots are really in this season and the red is such an attention grabber. You can wear it with straps for extra support or strapless for a perfect tan.
The star secret
Now, you might have noticed that there’s a swimsuit in the gorgeous collection above priced at £122. Wow, that’s a lot of money! But before you cross it off your shopping list, take a minute to ponder just how good you want to look on the beach, because as the name suggest, this is a miracle worker!
The big claim? Look 10lbs lighter in 10 seconds. Surely enough to get the attention of every plus size lady around!
How does it do it? With all-over support and triple holding power! This little beauty is the kind of swimsuit you see on the stars, their secret to a beach perfect body. We’ve seen the results on a plus size figure for ourselves, but of course, you haven’t. So if you’re thinking about investing in a beach-gorgeous look, we say – ‘try it out’! Order it, try it on at home and if you don’t think it gives you £122 worth of gorgeous beach body, send it back in the same condition and we’ll give you a complete refund!
Cover ups
Beach dresses are a great way to cover up on the walk from the hotel to the beach. So if you’re a little shy of showing your plus size curves, maybe you should invest in one of our Joe Browns swim dresses. In bright prints and floral patterns, they’re the easy way to make a beach-bound style statement.
Of course, you could just as easily throw on a casual white shirt, any of your Simply Be Summer dresses or a pair of your favourite denim shorts. After all, covering up is easy the easy bit!
