BLOGGER STAY-CATION: SPA & SWIMSUITS

To close our stay-cation, we decided to relax at Premier 57 spa in Midtown Manhattan. This spa was exactly what we needed to end our stay-cation. Premier 57 has everything we needed to relax and relate before we head back to the grind on Monday.  Spa included hydro therapy pools, relaxation lounge, water lounge and sauna's.

We started in the hydro therapy pools to open our pours, have a drink and let the jets massage our bodies.

 Next we headed to Sauna Area. At the Spa I had three Sauna rooms that I loved. 

1. Chromo Room 
You to bathe in light in order to return balance "energy" within the mind, body and soul. 

2.  Himalayan Salt Room

Which smelled like a salty beach. Great reminder of California and at 160 degrees it was hot like Cali too.  

 3. Ice Igloo Room 

This is a cold room sitting at a cool 32 degrees. As most of you know I'm a polar bear so I spend a lot of time in this room.

A lot of the ladies was loving the Gold Room which was made of 10K gold but you cant get me to do 160 degrees twice!!!!

Brooke looks good in the Gold Room

As soon as I saw thins photos I thought Soul Glow!!! lol

Premier 57 has everything you can want in a spa and was a perfect end to our stay-cation. Also these bathing suits were just amazing right.  Click Here for detail on my swimsuit but all of our swimsuits can be purchased at Swimsuits four All.

OOTD: TWO PIECE SWIMSUIT

Hey my Stylistas

I attended The Golden Confidence Pool Party and had a good time but also has a first for me.

Last year I attended the event I wore a one piece swimsuit but didn't take off my cover-up.

This year, I decided to go with a sheer jumper with a two piece suit.

My top was a razor back which was perfect for my high waist frame and kept me supported.

I'm sorry that I didn't have a chance to take as many pictures and give you guys more of my suit.  It really was a pretty suit just waiting to get wet.  But through my extra long wait to get to the pool section and bad planning on my part I only have theses pictures.

JUMPER COVERUP: JIBRI

Swim suit: LIVI Lane Bryant

  

To all my stylistas that I didn't get to take pictures with I'm soo sorry but I will see you guys for Full Figured Fashion Week!!!!

SWIMSUITS: THE REVENGE OF THE ONE PIECE

For so long the one piece was the only bathing suit for plus size women.  It was the ONE and "simple" bathing suit.  It was bathing suit that was the epicenter of what was wrong with plus size clothing.  The one plus size fashionista wanted to burn because it symbolized the lack of diversity and creativity for us.

Then....came the "Fat-ini" and it dominated the market. 

Not sure which designer came up with it first or who came up with the name but it crushed and revived our fashion spirits.  For years, it was the one and only bathing suit any self respecting fashionista would find herself in. 

Now I know there are "stylistas" that LOVE their two pieces and vow to never wear a one piece.  For you ladies I say go for it babe.  I am not against a two piece for ANY size women.  If you like it....go right ahead and wear it.But you have to acknowledge the influx of  ultra sexy ass once piece suits.

   Rather its mesh, shear, zippers, cut outs or intricate designs, One piece has     gotten a very much appreciated over hall and upgraded to sexy!!!

              Some suits are so sexy you wouldn't think its a one piece...but it is!

One piece colors combo are more vibrant 

Cuts have been updated to complement curves instead of hiding them

Plus size swimwear has made huge strides but this summer is defiantly the year of the one piece.
