Green is definitely my favorite color, especially shades like khaki and olive – perfect colors for fall and also a perfect match for my eye color (green-brown).
This blouse was my first favorite of the new collection and I knew I had to shoot it. While sheego went for a combination with leather pants, I decided to work it with a fake leather midi skirt. Either way, this is a blouse that’s very feminine and gives a special touch to any style, whether you’re wearing pants or a skirt (or culottes, how about giving them a try for this look?).
The oversized houndstooth print also has a detail that I only saw when I looked at the pictures – it’s kind of a goodie for smaller breasts, as the black parts are placed above the bust like a triangle. And we all know: lighter parts stand out while dark spots recede into the background. So if you want to accentuate your bust, this is a blouse to go for. ;) Also, I like the details: the ruffles in the front, the bronze button and the beautiful slightly flared sleeves. And I’m back in the hat game – prepare yourselves for fall and many hat looks (gotta buy a new one, or maybe two – I definitely need a grey hat!).

Swimsuit: Mara Hoffman “Harvest”
Beach Pants: ASOS Curve
Hat: H&M
Earrings: Dior “Mise en Dior” Tribal Earrings
Sunglasses: Dior “So Real”
Alternatives: Wolf & Whistle swimsuit,
River Island pants, ASOS Curve pants,
ASOS hat, Quay Australia sunglasses

From all those beach wear pieces I’ve shown you in the last weeks, this swimsuit is my absolute favorite. I’ve never seen such a gorgeous piece and even though I’ve warred with myself for some time (especially because of the price), I had no chance and had to order it. “Just to prove that it won’t fit! As every designer piece! I’ll definitely send it back!”, were my words. Until it arrived. And fitted perfectly. And that’s when our fate and love was sealed. I kept it, obviously.

So in order to make this dreamy swimsuit all justice, I went for the most perfect beach look I could create (well, in my opinion). I bought some transparent beach pants for my vacation and the walk to the beach (imagine me working the “calçadão” from Ipanema to the song “Girl from Ipanema”, haha!), and of course had to try some looks before flying away. Now, I’m hopefully sitting at the beach while this blog post goes online – maybe also wearing this look, enjoying the Brazilian sun. :)

Alternatives: Miraclesuit swimsuit,
ASOS scarf

We’re getting closer to the finish of my → #BeachBodyNotSorry series – I hope you’re not bored or getting annoyed because I still got at least one look left (and another swimsuit is still on its way!). But today it’s all about me playing geisha at the beach. :)

Unfortunately, my swimsuit is not available anymore, but I found a great alternative at ASOS from → Miraclesuit. Also, my “beach towel” is only a piece of fabric that I tied to a little skirt. The umbrella was a gift at an event by Kenzo, Givenchy and Fendi (and great on their rooftop terrace on a sunny afternoon) – since I was already adding kind of a Japanese touch to my swimsuit with my skirt, I just thought, “why not?” and brought the umbrella with me for my little transformation. ;) I tried to be as dignified and delicate as a real geisha (I really admire their beautiful art and dedication to it!) even though it looks a little clumsy, reminding myself that I’m plus-sized, haha! ;)

Anyways, I liked the idea of joining another movement of the curvy community called #dropthetowel (I won’t link the Instagram tag page as some guys didn’t really get the point…), and even though I already mentioned my little thigh problem in my last beach body post, here’s my thighs and butt in full bloom, just for you. No retouching, no removing of any flaws – just me. And you know what? I feel beautiful. Just like a geisha.

You may remember → Stylefully from one of my outfits → earlier this year. I’m teaming up with the plus-size online shop for a special look and giveaway again.
For my outfit, I decided to do something classy and very ladylike. This is one of my last summer looks (even though I’m happy to be able to be on vacation now and enjoy a little bit more of sunshine before coming back to fall in full bloom – or rather falling leaves), but of course also wearable in every season. Just add some tights and maybe a blazer and you’re good to go for any more formal occasion.

I really don’t want to fail to mention how perfect this dress is – it’s not only obviously beautiful with the gorgeous midnight blue color and the lovely lace. There’s also this great cut that hugs the curves perfectly. And let’s talk about how delicate those little cap sleeves look! Also, the wrap look at the bust creates a very nice cleavage, and to be honest: I love my butt in this dress! :)

So while I’m away, I’ve got something for you – you can enter the giveaway and win a voucher worth €200. All you have to do is:

• Like → Stylefully on Facebook (and feel free to like → my page too, it’s optional but you’ll make me very happy!)
• Leave a comment at → this Facebook post with the link to your favorite piece at Stylefully (hard to choose, I know!)

This giveaway is open for Germany and Austria, and open until September 30. The winner will be contacted via Facebook message (so please check your FB mailbox afterwards!) and announced in this blog post.
You’ll find all terms and conditions1 at the end of this blog post.

The winner is Anne Ruhtz – congratulations!
