Curvaceous Confidence

Hi all!
In case you have missed it, I've been trying quite many new plus-size fashion brands on my YouTube channel lately. There are so many fast fashion companies these days, all the information about sizing, shipping and quality can seem like a lot to take in. That's why I like to do reviews – and watch reviews done by other bloggers and youtubers. 
Two new brands I tried recently are COCOMY and Stylebest. Both of these companies sent me products to review, and I will insert my video reviews below. COCOMY is a plus-size brand, and the sizing/quality is similar to RoseGal, DressLily, Shein, etc. The prices are also pretty reasonable. You can get 10% off with my code: HANNAKATRIINA. 
Stylebest is an online retailer with a wide range of products; not just plus-size clothing. It may take a while to find what you are looking for since there's a LOT on the site, but you can find some gems. It's a bit more expensive than some of the sites I mentioned above, but the custome…

Hi all!
Soooo, I haven't really blogged this summer, as I've been super busy with my PhD thesis. No holidays for me, sigh. Also, I injured my ankle and it kind of took the joy out of putting together outifts for a while...
However, I've been more active on YouTube and Instagram, so you should definitely check those out! Speaking of Instagram, I thought I would share some of my favorite outfits I've posted this summer here on the blog, since I know that a) not everyone is on Instagram, and b) the IG algorithm is annoying, so you haven't necessarily seen these even if you do follow me there. 
So, here's what I've been wearing!



I originally bought this rose gold dress from a River Island store in Amsterdam if February, and FINALLY had a chance to wear it at a girls' night in July. I'm obsessed with rose gold and wrap dresses, so this is definitely one of my favorites.





This midi dress is from ASOS and it's by the brand Fashionkilla. I adore the bar…

Summer is here and I thought we could all use a gentle reminder of what is appropriate for a fat person to wear when it's warm outside. Without further ado, here we go!

1. Bikinis
Or a one piece swimsuit, if that's more your thing. Your bikini can be high-waisted and modest, or it can be a bit more revealing. The funny thing is, it's completely up to you! If you have cellulite, rolls or a gap between your boobs, make sure not to give a fuck. But remember to use sunscreen!




2. Bodycon dresses
Flowy dresses are nice when the weather is hot, but if you prefer to show off your curves, what are you waiting for? Feel free to skip shapewear because honestly, that shit is horrible even during the winter, not to mention when you're all sweaty. Eww. If someone doesn't like your belly outline showing, or thinks your dress looks unflattering, I'm afraid they're going to have to look somewhere else. I know, I feel bad for them, too. If you're small-chested, your dress…

Hi all,

I realized I hadn't shared a couple of my latest videos here on the blog, so here they are! By the way, thank you to everyone who has subscribed to my channel – it's growing really well at the moment, I just went past the 3K mark in subscribers!

I have a couple of longer blog posts planned for the summer so it's not going to be just videos. Stay tuned. :)

I hope you are all doing well!

I was sent some dresses by a company called Grace Karin. As always, all the opinions in the video are mine, and I'm not getting paid to promote the company. They have some cute vintage style dresses and a lot of work-appropriate stuff. They're not an exclusively plus-size brand so you should check them out even if you wear straight sizes. :) As always, feel free to ask me questions about any brands I talk about on YouTube or here in the blog!






Have lovely Sunday!
