PLUMP loves KOI

ANG INEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!

The scorching heat makes it undeniable that summer is officially here. And of course, it's the season to bare some skin and lounge half naked by the beach or by the pool (or in the tub--why not?)! :)

We know how annoying it is to look for swimsuits as you eagerly scout for the perfect one for your awaited beach trip, because trendy and sexy styles are extremely hard to find here. That's why when asked by Jade and Lace, the amazing duo behind Koi, to design our very own line, we immediately grabbed the opportunity so that every plump Pinay will no longer have problems looking for swimsuits that will fit and hug every curve of her sexy, chunky body! :)

And finally, after all the sketching, choosing of patterns and colors, fitting, and producing the actual swimsuits, THE LONG WAIT IS OVER. The launch is finally happening!!!

You have a chance to come to the event to party with us and be the first to see our swimwear!!! :) It's gonna be an awesome night of summer fashion and surprises!

Privé Bloggers' Meeting

Privé is a fashion event which main goal is to give back to the local fashion industry and to honor and award the best designers and models in the country. It's a privilege to be a part of this! :)

The event will take place on Wednesday, at the Members Only bar and lounge at The Fort Strip. It's their second year to hold this awards' night because the first one was such a huge success.

There will be a Bloggers' Choice Award, which we're a part of, for all categories! It's gonna be amazing.

We had a meeting with the very beautiful Jenny Yrasuegui (who will be featured soon, watch out ;) ) for the said event.

Here are the photos (grabbed from Honey Andrade of Somnium et Vita blog):

*Special thanks to Kaycee Lim Make Up for beautifying me that night! :)

I absolutely am so happy to know that local plus-size clothing lines are stepping out in the market and blossoming like crazy! Finally! Those amazing maxi pants were from Erzullie. It was even featured in the Editor's Picks section of StyleBible.ph! :)

I loved it! It's so comfortable to wear. The garter band makes it tummy-friendly! The length was a bit short since I'm tall, but it doesn't make it less appealing. It's really a must-buy! You can mix it up with polos for a clean, polished and stylish look, or coats for a trendier finish. :) I can't wait to mix and match with my newest closet fave! :)

*For reference: My size is L, I'm a UK size 14. They have up to 4L! :)
