SurfStitch Summer Swimwear

20 March 2017


With the intense heat of the warmer season here in QLD, I'd been on the lookout for some new swimwear so that I could hit the water and cool down in style. I'd looked at a few local swimwear stores but nothing was quite right, and didn't know of many online stores that I felt I could trust. 

That is, until I was contacted by SurfStitch. I recognised the name, though I still don't know exactly where or how I'd heard of them, just that I had. The SurfStitch team was really friendly and gave me the chance to pick out some cute swimmers and experience their online service and delivery for myself. 




I ordered the Rusty Cruise ribbed bikini top and bottom*, which were conveniently on sale at the time and came to a total of $43 along with $5.95 for shipping. I wasn't sure what to expect with shipping times, having experience everything from next day delivery to waiting over a month for a Topshop order once upon a time. Needless to say, when the package was dropped off three days later, I was pleasantly surprised.

The whole process, from searching the website and selecting your favourite items to add to your shopping cart, to checking out and paying and finally receiving your delivery was super straight-forward and easy. I've had some bad luck online shopping in the past which often leaves me cautious of using new online retailers but SurfStitch left me comfortable and confident in my experience. The company is based in Australia, which is big plus for supporting local business, and also guarantees speedy delivery and easy returns.

If you're looking for surf or swimwear, or beachside accessories, then I'd recommend checking out SurfStitch!

Brazilian Bikini Review

15 December 2015

Hey guys, today I've got a review of a great bikini* for you - and just in time for Summer!

Recently, Nadia from FitRebel.com reached out to me asking if I'd like to pick out and try out one of the many lovely Liquido brazilian bikini's available on her site. This couldn't have been at a better time, with Summer coming up and all!

So a bit of a background on FitRebel and the Brazilian bikini style.

FitRebel is an online store with a great selection of fitness wear, swimwear and accessories which are both highly functional and super trendy. The pieces are totally unique, and I honestly haven't been able to find similar pieces in your everyday store at your local shopping centre - so you don't have to worry about everyone else wearing the same thing as you!



Now the bikini itself is in the brazilian style, influenced by Brazilian culture and trends. It's a flattering cut for many people and has slowly been edging its way into western swimwear and fashion.

As you can see, I've gone for a classic style or look with this bikini - however if you prefer colourful or more modern/fun swimwear then they certainly have those options too - I simply love my classics and neutrals, not to mention black always looks good!



This is simply a really cute, fashionable bikini. The top is padded in a halter-neck style, also tying up at the back. It's super comfy on, however my only issue is that because I'm extremely flat it does feel a little loose on the chest (due to the padding being there), however this problem is across the board for me and certainly not specific to this particular bikini. The pants fit perfectly, and with the Brazilian cut are totally flattering (and great for tanning in)! I also love the bead detail on the hips, it adds that extra something to an otherwise plain bikini.



The material is really nice quality, it's comfortable, and it's the perfect thickness for wearing to the beach or pool - ie. it's not super thick and weighing you down, nor is it super thin and flimsy making you worry it'll come off if the water moves against you in the wrong way - it's the perfect inbetween!

Overall, I really like and recommend the Liquido Brazilian bikinis and in particular, this gorgeous, classic black two piece. They're super affordable and a great option to add to your summer wardrobe so head on over to FitRebel.com now and grab one before they're sold out!
