The #PSPfit crew is hosting a complimentary bootcamp class with our favorite personal training crew, Personal P.E.P.P.E.R. The class is open to women of all sizes, so make sure you register while there’s still room!

Normally these classes would be $30/person but we’re able to do a complimentary session thanks to the activewear section at SimplyBe.com, and the yummy 40 calorie Oat beverage, SneakyPetes.

Who is SimplyBe?

SimplyBe is one of my favorite brands for +size fashion size 10-28 (you can see me in their clothes here and here). SimplyBe will be working out with us on Saturday and passing out gift cards to Plus Size Princesses. @SimplyBeUSA

Who is Sneaky Pete’s?

Sneaky Pete’s is a refreshing oat based beverage, it’s a new drink for those of us trying to get our daily dose of fiber. If you’re tired of oatmeal, you can go to grocery stores like Gristides, Vons and Shop Rite to pick up this fruit flavored, heart healthy, oat based beverage that is low in calories and all natural.  Sneaky Pete’s will also be in the building passing out drinks! @SneakyPetesBev

Every summer I get invited to a white party and realize I don’t own a white dress.

I think avoiding white is a remnant of the “black is slimming” mentality that so many of us are conditioned to as Plus Size Princesses. Welp, as I continue to chuck fashion “rules” out the window, I’m trying to embrace white outfits more (*fingers crossed* that I don’t spill anything)! I got a jump on finding a summer white ensemble early with this cool one shoulder frock from Lane Bryant.

I’ve also entered this look in the LB Style competition, vote for me here!

A few days ago, I attended a dinner to celebrate the launch of GabiFresh’s Fatkini Line for SwimsuitsForAll.com, these gorgeous, high waist two pieces are designed to make a Plus Size Princess feel confident to show off her curves and the suits come in a variety of colors and prints, so much fun!

To be honest, I’m not quite ready to rock a fatkini, but I’ve been scanning through the plus size bathing suit options on the Swimsuitsforall.com site and lots of options that I love including some great suits for when I swim laps.

The AquaBell Chlorine Resistant line, has a few great plus size crossback swimsuit that I ordered in black. This swimsuit is AWESOME for my pool workouts, because it has a crossback that supports “The Twins” and its made from fabric designed to hold up against the harsh chemicals in pool water, so it will last longer.

Because we’re in the middle of #PSPfit bootcamp, I want to giveaway some swimsuits from the AquaBelle collection so that maybe some of you will take up swimming this summer too. These suits go from size 8-34, so there’s something for everyone!

I’ve got five suits to give away, want to win? Check out the info below!

When it comes to shopping online, sometimes its hard to tell what will look good on you. With shipping fees, I really want to make sure I get it right the first time. I enjoy shopping and trying things on, I’ll put on dresses in different cuts/styles to learn what I like and what I don’t. Overtime I’ve developed a bit of a sixth sense when it comes to looking at an outfit and determining 1.) How it will look on me and 2.) What size I should get. Here are two of my most recent online purchases, below you can see how they look on the model and how they look on me.

I’m loving all of the floral prints coming out this season. This is my Cinco de Mayo outfit (it was *just* warm enough to pull this off with Gladiator Sandals) I spotted this floral/polka dot dress on the Torrid.com site and got it in what I thought was my size. It fit, but I wish I would have ordered it a size down, the flowy waist area allows for more room in the tummy area, but I felt like the bust could have been tighter. Oh, and for those of you wondering how I manage to go bare legged without chaffing issues, I swipe Gold Bond Anti Chafe Balm on my inner thighs and I’m good to go!

This dress I found on the Macy’s site, I ordered it in both pink and black because its such a classic cut, they’re now selling it in tangerine and turquoise too! I read the reviews on this dress and ordered it a size down, I’m really  glad I did. It fit perfectly… the only tweaking I had to do was in the bust, the cross body effect left wayyyy too much room for The Twins to pop out, so I took a needle and thread and tacked it. The model has a smaller chest than I do though, so if you’re built like her you shouldn’t have a problem.
