This is Meagan Kerr

From board shorts to bathing suits

I have a fat body. Not the kind of smooth airbrushed fat body that you see advertising swimwear, I have a fat body with cellulite, rolls and plenty of jiggly bits. I hid my body when I went to the beach, under boardshorts and t-shirts. I forgot the joys of the sun on my skin and the water on my body. Until a few years ago, when I said “eff that, I want to enjoy the water like I used to!” and ditched the boardies and tee in favour of a bathing suit. Then a tankini. Then a bikini. And now I have about ten swimsuits in varying forms. View Post

Swimsuit Special 2015: High Waisted Bikini

Summer in New Zealand is really from late December to mid-late March, making now the prime time to get your swimsuit on and head to the beach. If you’ve decided that you’re going to rock a two piece this summer and want a bit of extra coverage on your tummy or you love the look of vintage swimsuits then high waisted is the way to go.

Hope & Harvest Anchor Tee

Plus size fashion | Meagan Kerr wears Hope and Harvest Nauticas Tee, Lucabella Pencil Skirt, Wild Child City Eyelet Cardigan

As you’ve probably guessed from my blog, I’m not usually a t-shirt wearer. I’m more of a dresses kind of gal, or skirts and tank tops. But when I saw this Hope & Harvest Anchor Tee I knew that I wanted it. I was thinking it would be perfect to wear with jeans, but it has been WAY too hot to wear with jeans (seriously, this weather has been stunning!) so I had to think of another way to style it until the weather cools down.

Mermaid Nails

This week I am heading off on another adventure, this time down to gorgeous Lake Taupo. I’m looking forward to lots of swimming in it’s cool depths, and thought it was only appropriate that I get mermaid nails before I go.

These shoes are made for walking

I decided that it was time to treat myself to a new pair of walking shoes. The last pair of exercise shoes I bought were great (and I paid less than $10 for them), but they didn’t give me the support I needed so they have been relegated to my gardening shoes. I asked around and had Nike shoes recommended to me by a few friends, so yesterday I popped into Nike Platinum St Lukes.

Nike Lunarglide 6 Women

Almost every other time I’ve walked into a sportswear store I’ve either been ignored or treated very rudely. I’m not take seriously because I’m fat (actual comment overheard, “Who is she kidding? Must be lost”) or because I’m female (just the other day I walked into an outdoors store to buy a new backpack. The two salespeople avoided eye contact and ignored me, instead going straight to assist my partner … who was not there to buy anything. Needless to say they didn’t get my money!). I’m sure you won’t be surprised when I tell you that I was a little bit nervous when I headed into the Nike store! View Post
