If it feels like summer is getting hotter, it is. The average temperature at my place is now 29ºC with most days sitting somewhere between 27-32ºC. Global warming is certainly making it’s presence felt – in previous summers it was more like 25ºC. Wearing light and cool clothes helps to minimise discomfort from the heat, so here’s what I’ve been wearing. View Post

How to be body confident at the beach

This is Meagan Kerr in plus size swimwear by elomi and Autograph // How to be body confident at the beach

My first ever experience with body shaming was when I was wearing a swimsuit, so it probably comes as no surprise that I spent a lot of time agonising over wearing one as a teenager and in my 20’s. I remember going to the beach in board shorts and a baggy t-shirt, with my one piece underneath, feeling very self-concious – a far cry from the cocky, confident person I was on the swim team a couple of years beforehand. Things have changed a lot over the last few years, and now I feel completely at home in a bikini. I get a lot of people saying that they wish they felt so confident in a swimsuit, so I thought I’d share a few of my tips on how to be body confident at the beach (or where ever it is that you’re swimming!).

I’m sure I’ve said this before, but as a photographer and a plus size woman, I really appreciate a good fashion editorial. You see them on the pages of glossy magazines, but very rarely do they contain plus size women. That’s one of the reasons I really love 17 Sundays’ lookbooks – because they always deliver the goods.
