In a world of plenty there are hundreds and thousands of everything and yet it is so difficult to find something that you love. This is exactly what happened to me and the reason why La Belle Unlimited was born.
Everywhere you look there are swimsuits – different colours, patterns, cuts and styles and yet I was after something different.
In July 2021 I became a mum. I had a C Section and it is safe to admit that at that point, 3 months post pregnancy, my confidence was ultra-low! I was looking for a swimsuit that ‘picked me up’, that covered my tummy but made me feel great, sexy, like an old me! I just couldn’t find one.
It felt like the world expected me to wear a boring swimsuit with little polka dots or butterflies, so unflattering and so unsexy that I just didn’t want to leave the house for my son’s swimming lessons.
I tried to find something that is a good combination of flattering fit, attractive appearance and that made me feel great wearing it. Endless deliveries and endless returns… I tried so many swimsuits! Some were pretty but impossible to breathe in, some were simply unflattering, and some were simply ugly! Another alternative was to wear a swimsuit that consisted of several ‘strings’ that covered nothing – also not a suitable option and not what I was after. I am sure that it would just come off at the first opportunity in the pool or I would end up with a questionable tan when on holiday!
The thoughts about my perfect swimsuit had become an obsession, it kept me awake at night and so I knew – I need to take this problem and turn it into a solution. I knew I would learn a lot in the process, which is great. And hopefully I will help all of you who had similar challenges and dilemmas!
My vision for La Belle Unlimited is not only to offer a fabulous collection of swimwear but to provide a forum for different conversations, which is the reason why we have La Belle Lifestyle.
We will discuss various topics here, host live interviews on our Instagram and hopefully all of this will help us all to accept ourselves, progress on the journey of self-love and feel confident and beautiful – always and without compromise!
Until next time!
