Song to the Siren

This past weekend, my husband and I celebrated Valentine's Day with a studio rental on the beach.  Since it was a brisk beach season (aka our "winter") I wanted a lovely cover up that also provided some protection, all while not covering up too much.  I'd been eyeing this AMAZING Khloe Dress from Chubby Cartwheels and this was the PERFECT occasion.  Shawna created the most amazing piece for a winter beach look and I was in LOVE.  Here are some snaps from the day:

Getting ready for the weekend...Poolside musts!

Poolside Musts by pinkbot featuring plus size one piece swimsuits

This weekend my husband and I are having a little staycation at a local swanky hotel.  I plan on spending most of it in the pool with a cocktail...however, my style is anything but the "typical" beach bunny.  You do NOT have to sacrifice your edge and conform to typical beachwear.  The wonderful thing is that lots of plus size companies are making cool swimwear now.  Here are a few of my favorites...including the bathing suit, sandals, and sunnies I plan to wear!  Click the image to get all the shopping details.  And of course: don't forget the sunscreen!

Beach Bunny Dreams

As a bit of a Barbie lover, I am a proud recipient of the Barbie Collector catalog. After seeing this incredible beach set (chair, umbrella, etc), I knew I wanted to share my big girl barbie beach vision with my chubblettes!



Imagine with a curled ponytail, pina colada, and fabulous glittery pink nails...tres fabulous! I am not a beach person. The goth pallor and fear of sea creatures really keeps me away from it, but I had SOOO much fun with Jessica at the beach, that I think I might want to try a bit more beach time this summer.
