.#SimplyBeYourself Campaign.

As a little girl who aspired to be a model one day, I lived, breathed, & ate America's Next Top Model. I dreamt of doing those high fashion photoshoots, walking a high wire above a shark tank while "smizing" of course & being a top model in my industry.

However, never in a million years did I actually think that I would be a model, or have the opportunity to work with so many amazing companies, like SimplyBe. 

When SimplyBe reached out to me to partner with them for their new campaign #SimplyBeYourself I jumped at the chance. Why? Because I heard they were an official sponsor of America's Next Top Model Cycle 22 (& I love them, Duh)! It's all about empowerment, & embracing who you are! Myself & 4 other women joined in & picked one of the 5 themes that best represents them, I chose:

         #SimplyBeFearless 

 The other themes are: #SimplyBeSassy, #SimplyBeUnique, #SimplyBeSeductive, & #SimplyBeHeard.

Charlotte Russe Introduces Plus Sizes!

If you haven't already heard, Charlotte Russe has finally launched their plus size range and it doesn't dissapoint. There are loads of great pieces for Spring and Summer and I am loving everything that I have tried so far.

The colours are fun and bright and the cuts are fearless too. There is everything from adorable tops and Summer dresses to printed rompers and really cute denim. 

The range runs up to size US24/ 3X and is available in select stores and of course, online. 

Check out this gorgeous acid wash chambray skirt that I have paired with the pom-pom trim flutter crop top. 

I was worried that the sizing would be junior plus instead of true plus size but here I am wearing a 3X on both top and bottom and I have a bit of wiggle room, so the sizing is comfortable and true.

Have you all checked out the range yet? What pieces do you love?

.Tess x Yours Clothing- My UK adventure.

As some of you may have recently seen, Yours Clothing flew me over in November to work with them, and I had SO much fun! Plus I have to say, I would move to England just for Cadbury hot chocolate alone.

Before shooting, I explored London...

Big Ben

Had the best pub food...

Westminster Abbey

Westminster Abbey

Buckingham Palace

AND I WENT TO THE HARRY POTTER STUDIOS! *cries*

After spending three days in London, I traveled to Peterborough to shoot for Yours. The first day we shot in a cute studio for the Holiday season.. Christmas, New Years, Australian Summertime and some sexy lingerie for Valentines day. The team & I laughed all day, had yummy cupcakes and I got to wear a onesie- not too bad for a days "work"! I also discovered "Christmas Crackers" and my life is forever changed!

The second day we shot at the beautiful Yours Clothing headquarters in Peterborough, UK and again..had a ridiculous amount of fun! I mostly filmed video content, and drank copious amounts of hot chocolate.. haha! 

Hair & makeup was by Lipstick & Curls

I also was filmed for a documentary for Channel 4 in the UK while signing 600 photos for my meet and greet the next day.. phew!

My final day working with for Yours Clothing was in Birmingham at their Bullring store where I did a meet and greet with my fans!

(from the Yours Clothing site)

I met some UK plus size bloggers who put my dress on and surprised me..So many babes!

Annnnnnd a fan even got my signature tattooed on her!

After, I explored Birmingham a bit before heading back..and fell in love.

Thank you so much to the girls at Yours Clothing who made this such a memorable trip- you are definitely one of my favorite clients, and the newest addition in my closet!
