Fatkini - Forever 21 Plus Size

Forever 21 plus bikini fatkini review

Following my social media (twitter or Instagram) you'd see I finally kept to my promise of going on Holiday for my birthday.

The hassle and stress of organising something in Britain really takes away the fun out of birthdays. I just wanted to relax and get away for a week and I chose no better time to do it on my day of birth. My mums birthday is 3 days after mine (yes I was the best early birthday present ever) so we decided to do a daughter and mothers holiday in the sun in Crete.




I've never been on to be shy to put on a swimsuit and swim. Being part mermaid (yes i really am do not question it) there's something in me that loves the water. With the Fatkini craze I feel it became a lot more easier to purchase a bikini than ever before. ( I remember squeezing myself in a bikini around 5 years ago from Primark, and although I didn't feel crap about it I did wish about having it in a bigger size.)

Well Forever 21 have answered all my preys. Their collection of bikinis has only gotten stronger and stronger. I purchased one last year and as soon as I saw these two pieces I grabbed the chance to purchase more. 

I now own roughly 8 bikinis and only one swimsuit. I do wish it was more exceptable to just walk around in one all the time just to get use out of them (this may be the time to drop in a Fat Babes outing to a London Lido) 

You'll see a lot of my bare skin in the next few posts but I just had to share how amazing these bikinis are. 

Also ladies I promise you the world will not stop or disappear by you loving yourself and wearing one. I had no heckles (quite a few looks I will admit but after the first day no one else batted an eyelid after that.) I was so happy to see a lot of other plus sized ladies also embracing a bikini around the pool. One lady even came and asked me where all mine were from as she'd admired each one I wore. (yes I took a different one for each day.) 

I hope you enjoy my pictures and I really hope I can encourage people to embrace wearing what ever the hell they want.

Smile and confidence my own, but sharing it with all you beautiful ladies (and not forgetting the men. Get those trunks on and work it ;) )

A beach body is any body that is on the beach. Don't look up to the idea that you have to change to be accepted on the beach or near a pool. I felt so confident and free and managed to get an epic tan. I walked around like this but I'd say if you weren't too confident just get a lovely fringe throw. They'll cover but you'll also look fabulous.

Now ladies go out there and get your bikini on and men get those trunks on.

I was so lucky to be featured in this article on Bustle also, wrote by the amazing Marie Southard Ospina . You'll see so many uber babes and 7 vital points to why body advertisements need to to leave our billboards and magazine pages.

  1. I admire how confident you are wearing a bikini. I don't care what others think of the way I look in a bikini, but I don't like myself in one which sucks. The forever 21 one's are lovely though and really suit you! x
