Holiday Bae Sass

Attention all holiday bae’s! I recently treated myself to a well needed vacay and took ALL the sassy beach snaps whilst I was away. Can we please just have a moment of silence for this gorgeous tropical print bikini?! I actually purchased this for a holiday I went on last year, however premier delivery didn’t deliver in time (typical) so I ended up not wearing it until this summer! Luckily it still fits, despite the lockdown weight gain that is still very much so here and unlikely going anywhere anytime soon.

Admittedly, I initially felt a type of way about the lockdown weight I’d gained. Most of my clothes weren’t fitting the same and the second lockdown was an overall mental a struggle for me. My mindset about my body became unhealthy. Lockdown generally just made the majority us become a bit bonkers and fed up. In hindsight, I see how unfair I was feeling towards myself. Nevertheless, after lockdown I eventually snapped out of it and got back into a regular weekly gym routine. Although I’m not at quite at my pre-lockdown weight, I’m not longer trying to get to it either. I’ve embraced my new curves and I absolutely love them now!

ASOS is one of my main go to for bikini’s as it has a wonderful “fuller bust” range for ladies with larger ta-tas. The sizes generally range from DD - G. I had increased by one whole bra size by the end of lockdown.

Before purchasing on ASOS I’d highly recommend looking at the reviews first. They are the make or break decision for potential purchases. ASOS is extremely hit and miss with the quality of their garments and sizing. I’m hoping more online stores will start adding a public customer review section as it will massively eliminate the faff of having to return items that aren’t satisfactory in person.

If you’re planning an overseas holiday or staycation, you can treat yourself to this bikini below or check out the rest of ASOS swimwear/beachwear range here.

FYI - We all have our insecurities, regardless of how minuscule they may seem. Remember that your body is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. Always be kind to yourselves.

Stay sassy, xoxo

Dear sassyfashionrudy.com,

It is day 1268dbjdsogs7b of 2020 and I’m finally ready to admit that I am officially loungewear obsessed. Is there some sort of fashion AA meeting? Whatever, if my “treat yo’self” has turned into a daily occurrence and my bank manager thinks it’s wrong then I definitely don’t want to be right.

I was recently browsing on Instagram and I came across a quote that said “A package a day keeps the sadness away,” and with everything that is going on in the world right now I couldn’t agree more. My add to cart game is on point and Femme Luxe have been making sure to keep my sassy needs met with their gorgeous clothing range. Keep reading for my sassy fashion tips.

Boomtown Sass 2019

Boomtown Sass 2019

To all of my avid readers, as you know I have attended my fair share of music/art festivals. For the first time this year I decided to attend Boomtown Fair for their eleventh (year) chapter, after years of hearing how incredible it is. Prior to attending Boomtown I had the chance to interview Boomtown’s creative producer. If you haven’t yet read it, check it out here. As much as I anticipated it to be a wonderful experience, I definitely was not mentally prepared for what was truly in store. I’ll be dropping my Boomtown Aftermovie soon in the meantime make sure you have subscribed to my YouTube channel here.

As you’re aware, your girl needs to be extra AF all day everyday, and my festival experiences mustn’t fall short of any boujee experiences available. This meant opting to stay in Boomtown Springs. A VIP immersive glamping experience, which of course had the expected luxuries like 24 hour security protected area and the posh loos/showers etc. Springs also offered a huge mansion complimented with a swimming pool, sun loungers and a private bar/restaurant. Who knew I could order my fave, eggs royale and an iced latte delivered straight to my table at a festival!

Boomtown you were simply amazing and despite the occasional extreme weather conditions I honestly have never experienced something so visually thrilling and overwhelming. This year Boomtown introduced a new district called area 404. Each of their fourteen themed districts hosted artists such as Ms Lauryn Hill, Salt N Pepa, The Streets, Groove Armada, Prophets of Rage and UB40 to name a few. Click here for a full list of Boomtown’s Chapter 11 lineup!

Chapter 11 I am definitely feeling the Boomtown blues and would love to re-live those four days again. Chapter 12, I already cannot wait to see what you have in store. See you next year Boomtown from the 12-16th August for “New Beginnings.” Make sure you keep checking back on their website for their early release tickets going on sale in early November!
