Curvy Girl Guide’s 2nd Annual Swimsuit Confidence Week With Lands’ End

Announced this morning, the writers of Curvy Girl Guide are partnering with Lands’ End, SELF Magazine, and breast cancer survivor community, Beyond the Boobie Trap to bring back Swimsuit Confidence Week, May 21-25.

In our 2nd annual celebration of being swimsuit confident, we are excited to have SELF Magazine join in with us as we show off our body confidence by posing in our Lands’ End swimsuits. As an online lifestyle magazine for women, CurvyGirlGuide.com mirrors the goals of the print magazine that “SELF Magazine informs and inspires women in areas of fitness and beauty, diet and health, style and happiness, to help them achieve their personal well-being goals, and become their vision of their best self.”

Last year, the writers of Curvy Girl Guide showed off our swimsuit-ready bodies in Lands’ End swimsuits, and we received an amazing reaction from our readers. The ongoing campaign we lead in Project Real that aims to help women feel better about their bodies, no matter their size, is one by which we stand firmly. It’s a year later, and we’re still being asked about the campaign and hearing how it encouraged other women to show off their body confidence.

We can’t wait to get started on the Swimsuit Confidence campaign to bring about awareness in self-acceptance and body confidence! Visit Lands’ End’s Facebook page for more information on the campaign (and see how to enter for a beach vacation), and make sure to like the Curvy Girl Guide Facebook page as we show off our confidence. Join us through May 25th as we share our stories and our photos of being Swimsuit Confident.

I was hoping you would do this campaign again this year! Last year I bought my very first Lands End swimsuit. I adored it! In the past year I have lost 25 pounds so I needed a new swim suit. There was no doubt that I would buy anther Lands End suit. This year, I’ll be wearing a bikini for the first time since high school!

Congrats! We love our Lands’ End suits, and we’re so glad you like yours, too!

I don’t have a Land’s End suit, but I can’t wait to take part again! I’ve just gotta find some bottoms to go with my top…I don’t feel having photos of me in JUST a bathing suit top on the internet is a great idea

Angie May 15, 2012 at 4:00 pm

Doesn’t matter who made your suit, just that you feel good showing it off!

And yes, please put on some bottoms. I’m sure you’re totally hot, but we don’t want the law after you.

Love this!!! So cool!
Bought a Lands End suit last year and another one this year! Love them :)

Angie May 15, 2012 at 4:01 pm

So you already know how awesome LE suits are, right?

jodimichelle May 15, 2012 at 12:58 pm

ahh! So exciting!

Angie May 15, 2012 at 4:01 pm

I KNOW!

Tawny May 15, 2012 at 2:50 pm

I am in!
Going bathing suit shopping this weekend!

Angie May 15, 2012 at 4:01 pm

WOOT!

I know you’re in a business partnership with Land’s End, but I was intrigued by the Swimsuit Confidence campaign last year and I bought two Land’s End swimsuits. You know what? I’m totally sold. It has been decades since I’ve felt so comfortable in a bathing suit. In fact, they arrived in the mail around the time my mother was going on vacation. She had no suit and she just decide she wouldn’t go to the beach/pool, but I offered her one of my brand new ones. Now she won’t give it back. They really do make you feel better so you can enjoy summer more. I think I’ll be replacing it this year.

That’s SO good to hear! Thanks for letting us know!

Lands’ End suits are amazing. YOU CAN NEVER HAVE ENOUGH! I love them. So glad you all are doing this again this year!

Angie May 15, 2012 at 7:15 pm

We’re glad, too! And yes – you must stock up on Lands’ End swimsuits (especially when they go on sale).

Stacey Johnson May 15, 2012 at 7:40 pm

I don’t have a blog on which to participate, but I love this! And I love Land’s End. I have 3 Land’s End swimsuits, a pair of the swim shorts and 2 of their cover ups. One of the suits is 7 or 8 years old and still looks good enough to wear to the beach. High quality! I’ll always stick with Land’s End.

Meredith May 15, 2012 at 8:32 pm

I’m so excited!

Kelly May 15, 2012 at 9:04 pm

Congrats, girls. This is AWESOME and well-deserved!

Kim May 16, 2012 at 8:10 am

I love this. I am in need of a new swimsuit this year, and hope to get a Land’s End one. I love my workout swimsuit I have from them.

Nona May 16, 2012 at 12:04 pm

I have a couple of Land’s End swimsuits (tankini tops and bottoms so I can mix and match) and I love them — they are figure flattering.

I will be laid up in the hospital having a knee replacement that week, so no swimsuit-wearing for me, but I wish you ladies luck for another successful campaign.

KristenS May 16, 2012 at 5:58 pm

My bathing suit is sooooooo cute, and the quality is amazing! I can’t wait to see what all our pictures look like!!

Kristie May 17, 2012 at 9:57 am

Love my LE suit! AND am so excited to be pairing with Self. It’s one of my favorite mags.

GrandeMocha May 18, 2012 at 1:55 pm

Love my LE tankinis with matching watershoes! They are 7 yrs old & going strong. No other brand compares!

Jennifer May 18, 2012 at 8:47 pm

I am one of the breast cancer survivors who is taking part in this! Already taken my pic and sent in my little bio of myself…Can’t wait!!

An intriguing discussion is worth comment. I think that you
ought to publish more about this subject, it may not be a taboo subject but usually people do not speak about such topics.
To the next! Cheers!!
