Jason Gale, Founder of the London Lifestyle Awards & Sassy Fashion Rudy

In the words of Jason Gale, founder of the London Lifestyle Awards “London IS the best city in the world”. As a bonafide Londoner, I couldn’t agree more. London is the land of opportunity, cosmopolitan, and if I say so myself, it’s pretty f**king awesome!

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.

Femme Luxe are killing it with their loungewear range! Here I’ll show you how I dress up and dress down two of their extremely comfortable loungewear sets. The power of how you accessorise an outfit is everything! I can switch both of these outfits to go with the opposite accessories and they’d transform from casual to dressed up that easily and vice versa. Click here to check out their loungewear range, choose your favourite sets using discount code TKE15 for 15% off and get creative. Knowing how to dress up and dress down the same or similar outfits allows you to make the most of your wardrobe.

A cute t-shirt definitely has to be one of my favourite items in my wardrobe. The versatility of a simple t-shirt allows you to dress it up or keep it casual like I’ve done here with a pair of joggers and custom styled front tied knot. Femme Luxe have a wide range of plain and funky t-shirts you can choose from, you’ll be spoilt for choice! Click here to peep their t-shirt range.
