Today Gabi release her latest collections with Swimsuits for all. The theme of this collection I would call “Queen of the jungle” was inspired by Destiny’s Child’s Survivor and I’m here for it. There are 4 bikinis, 4 one-pieces, and 2 coverups style dress with bold designs, beautiful colors, and lots of metallics. This 2018 GabiXSwimSuitsForAll collection is giving me everything I need with this new styles. Below I have added the visuals for the collection release. Please note that photos are all from the Gabifresh website.







Gabi has clearly hit it out the park again and this collection will sell out. My personal thoughts on purchasing based on having shopped past collections. Size up in the tops. I noticed in the past two collections the tops ran small. With that being said I love that the 2 pieces swimwear options are sold together but you can order different sizes for the top and bottom. The bottoms I find run true to size. I would say for the one piece swimwear to size up also. Many have built-in bra features similar to the two-piece tops in which the cups run small. Lastly, if you’re swimwear shy the coverups are a great option. They offer a great bang for your buck. Based on the style purchased I’ve worn them alone as a “dress” or as kimono style top with shorts or jeans. The coverups tend to run true to size. Gabi has mentioned before, if you’re between suit sizes, she recommends getting the larger size.

When I first so this tweet it tickled me pink. I taught at this Gabi isn’t dropping the collection out the blue like Beyonce. With that said I’ve ordered a few pieces. And I already have photo shoot ideas.

Gabi’s latest collections with Swimsuitsforall comes off the heels of two other very successful fashion ventures in 2017. Gabi first jumped feet first into the plus-size lingerie arena. In collaboration with Playful Promises we saw Gabi designed a plus-size lingerie collection (Get more information on the GabiXPlayfulPromises lingerie line here). The moment the line drop it easily took over social media. Next Gabi and her longtime friend Nicolette Mason release Premme. With Premme they joined forces to create a fashion company that shows clothing should be about expressing your personality and having fun, not feeling limited by society’s current fashion rules.

“This body is a my summer body.” _TheFatGirloFfashion

It’s that time of year that many women stare at themselves in the mirror and say why didn’t I work out a little more? Â Or why didn’t I pass on that cheesecake? Â This time of year is called swimsuit season. Â This time of year can be even tougher for plus size women and girls. Â While at Blogher my friends and I went to pool and talked about dealing with our own swimsuit and body issues. Â It was great being able to jump into this topic and the pool feet first with Ashley of IAMFABELLIS and Tot of TOTALLYTOT.

I’m so happy to have met Ashley. Â Not often do you meet someone and you just click!

I personally love a two piece swimsuit. Â I have a larger mid section so I prefer high waisted suits. Â That does not mean all plus size women have to pick those kinds of suits. Â I don’t believe in the idea of “dressing for your body.” Â Wear what makes you happy! Â For some that’s a one piece and that’s O.K.!! Â If you’re a one piece kind of girl try a strapless suit to add a little vavavoom. Â Â Â Â Â


I’m also a fan of cover ups.  I love a kimono.  They’re a great way to wear your swimsuit on whether it’s a one piece or a two piece but not show the world everything.  Swim cover alls come in some many colors and fabrics that options are endless.  My blogger boo Tot is wearing the pinky promise A-line bomber from Kierra Sheard line Eleven60 Apparel as a cover up.

I find the best way to wear swimwear with confidence is by getting connected. Â Get a few people that support you and send time loving them and allowing them to love you. Â Yes, self confidence starts with self. Â However, Â It’s feels good to have true support from people that wish you well. Â The girls and I sat poolside and talks about butt shapes and stretch marks. Â We all had parts of we wish we could upgrade but told each other that we were beauty just the way we were.
