best of...over a cuppa with...

I thought I would share a few of my favourite posts with you while I am travelling to Alt SLC.
I thoroughly enjoyed doing mini Q&A's with the ladies at both Sirens Swimwear and Ivy & Piper.  They are fresh and funny, creative and talented women who have started wonderful brands.  I hope you enjoy getting to know them over a cuppa just as much as I did.   To read the mini Q&A's click on the pictures below.

I have been wearing my siren costume all season and loving how I feel in it.  Its not to late for you to go online and become a Siren too.  Pictured above are the: New Classic in Black, Miranda in red stripe, Buttercup in yellow

There is not much the talented design duo from Ivy & Piper can't do.  I have been enjoying their fabulous free online magazine this year, I always look forward to it arriving in my inbox.  And featured above are a few of their fabric and wallpaper designs: Looking Glass, About Town, Chinoise Soiree Black

I look forward to introducing you to some other lovely people in 2013.  If there is anybody you would like to meet, or you think I should, please let me know.

don't you love.....being a siren

It was a hot summer day yesterday and I was feeling fabulous in my gorgeous Siren, the New Classic in green spot that I had my eye on since the new range was launched.   Sal and Margie of Sirens Swimwear have outdone themselves this year, the colours are vibrant, the cuts are fresh, and the New Classic fit is even more flattering than the old one (which I still love).  Look how teeny my waist looks with all that hidden help. Red lippy, sunnies, and that vavavoom feeling. More about them all here.

Back in the Old Hollywood Glamour days starlets laughed in the face of size zero.  They had bums and boobs and thighs, and the best photography and make up ever.  Curves were celebrated and admired, desired, flaunted even.  
Self styled as Ava Gardener meets Nancy Ganz, Sirens Swimwear is taking the beach back to glamour.  Gorgeous fresh fabrics, hidden flattening and supporting tricks, and a style choice for every woman.  Just add red lipstick, confidence and smile, and tadaaa! you can be a Siren too.
Clockwise from top left: 1. Aren't these two gorgeous!   The delicious Sally and Margie, wearing their Sirens designs, and totally capturing glamour, fun and confidence.  2. Ava Gardener wears a sunny yellow bikini and red lippy.  Get the look with Ruched Bikini in yellow check. 3.  Miranda in red stripe.  4. New Classic in green spot.  Visit the website to see the full Sirens range.

Since my second baby, and starting my fourth decade, I am more curvealicious than I used to be.         My blue check Siren from the first season was a boost for my post baby wobbly tummy confidence last summer.   Its still gorgeous but I am going to be looking for a companion at the 2012 Collection launch tonight.   I will get back to you with the inside story on the show, but for now, please meet the designer Sirens themselves -  Sally and Margie.

Thanks for playing Sirens.   Aren't they gorgeous?
Right!  Beach anyone?  Where's my red lippy.
