A lil’ snippet outside of my founder/CEO life

A lil’ snippet outside of my founder/CEO life Literally was set on wearing a whole ‘nother dress to this event until I was about to walk out the door and Sam told me it was completely see through why WHYYYYYYYYYYY Anyway, a lil snippet of youtuber/content creator life outside of my day-to-day Popflex founder/ceo life.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Cassey Ho (@blogilates) Everything started with one fateful Pilates video that I uploaded to YouTube in 2009. The universe has its way of steering you in the right direction, no matter how winding, if you’re just willing to listen to your heart.

The Try-On Crew is SHINING in my new swim dress

The Try-On Crew is SHINING in my new swim dress After years of you asking me to design a swim dress, I finally did it! The Sunshine Swim Dress was inspired by vintage swim wear, but we added a ton of adjustability and made it super comfy to wear. The best part is how amazing it looks on literally everyone! Don’t believe me? The Try-On Crew is here to show us! Let’s try on the Sunshine Swim Dress I asked our Try-On Crew, a group of women sizes XXS to 3X of all different heights is here to show you how the Sunshine Swim Dress looks on different body types. If you never thought you’d wear a swim dress (I didn’t either tbh), get ready to change your mind. Ready to see the fit?!   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by POPFLEX (@popflex_active) SHOP SUNSHINE SWIM DRESS The reviews are in! Ahh this is my favorite part – Hearing how my designs make YOU feel! Measurements: Size: L Bra Size: 36 DD Waist: 30.5″ Hips: 41″ Iriel’s review! “Okay, but this swim dress is everything!! The fit is snatched, the lilac is so soft and pretty, and the side ties?? Game. Changer. Cute enough for lunch, spicy enough for the pool it even has built in swim bottoms!” IRIE OMG. You’re right, this dress is everything, especially on you!   Kristin, Try-On Crew Measurements:  Size: 1X Height: 6′ 2″ Bra Size: 40E Waist: 38″ Hips: 50″ From Kristin! “This dress is CUTE!!! So flattering on and you can scrunch the sides to make it higher cut or longer depending on how spicy you are feeling. Throw on some wedges and you have a cute mini dress.” Okayyy goddess! This is amazing on you! Adanma, Try-On Crew Measurements:  Size: 2X Height: 5′ 10″ Bra Size: 40C Waist: 45″ Hips: 51″ Adanma says, “I know…you’re probably looking at this and are very confused. Is there a bottom underneath? A dress! What’s going on? POPFLEX continues to impress me with the innovation. There is a cute one piece like situation attached to the dress. The fabric is so comfortable and you can shorten the dress and make it work for you! 10/10 recommend!”  I’m loving the sass and the confidence. Adanma, this dress on you IS GIVING. Thank you, Try-On Crew! SHOP SUNSHINE SWIM DRESS Wanna see more try-ons?? Your feedback means so much to me! Let me know what questions you have in the comments!

The wait for Swim is finally over!!

The wait for Swim is finally over!! So, where did we leave off on this year’s POPFLEX swim drama? Right right, the part where my photo samples went MISSING in Memphis and I had to cancel our photoshoot. Models were been booked, flights purchased, photographers hired. So many meticulously planned details and moving parts just… poof! Cancelled because of one package. But the worst part was that the location we reserved would not give us a credit for the space and I had to pay thousands in fees. That’s when I filmed a video to fill you in on everything holding back this year’s swim launch. For weeks after that, the package was just stuck. I thought it was gone forever until one day… it showed up! Except… There was another problem Like HOWWWW was this happening after we already dealt with incorrect elastic on another swim bottom aka Sausagegate? WHY?! This was the point when Sam and I wondered if we should just give up on swim this year. I was EXHAUSTED. But that would mean 1.5 years of development would go to waste. The design team had already poured everything into this collection. I couldn’t just let that go. I asked you for time And your support was everything. Your willingness to wait was the final push I needed to work out the details and get it right. Over the past month, I nearly lost my mind catching issues and redoing pieces until the fit was perfect. Which brings us to today, and I finally have some good news. POPFLEX Swim is HERE! This year we have 15 silhouettes to choose from and I truly believe there is something for everyone. SHOP SWIM The swim “skanty” is alive! We brought back some faves like the Crisscross Hourglass Cheeky Bottoms and the Swim Romper, but I’m most excited for the unique styles this year. We added the most stunning drapey Tankini, a Swim Dress, AND  swim skort that I’m calling a Skanty because it has built-in bottoms. I’m wearing it with the Beach Day Bandeau which has an adjustable corset back (obsessed) and removable halter (OBSESSED)! SHOP SWIM Every single piece is giving mermaid goddess. SHOP SWIM Okay head over to POPFLEX now so you can explore all of Swim! Annnnd now can this season of POPFLEX Swim drama be over now? Finale, no cliff hangers THANKS. I hope you love bc if not I am questioning my entire existence So, where did we leave off on this year’s POPFLEX swim drama?

I didn’t know it was THIS BAD.

I didn’t know it was THIS BAD. TBH when you guys asked me to design a swim skort I was like no bc I’d never worn one ever in my life. But then I was like hm…how CAN one make a swim skort cute?? After 1.5 years of development, the answer is… SARONGIFY IT.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Cassey Ho (@blogilates) SHOP SUNSET SWIM SKORT The POPFLEX Sunset Swim Skort I don’t want to be mean but when I was researching what kinds of swim skirts were out there… I would NEVER wear most of them. Full disclosure though I am a cheeky bikini girly so you normally wouldn’t catch me in a swim skort. BUT If you were to catch me in one, it would be inspired by the look of a sarong. I added a knot, a stretchy scrunch, an an asymmetrical waist to sarongify. And then I added what sarongs don’t have – a built-in bikini bottom. Here’s the final look! SHOP SUNSET SWIM SKORT It’s not only giving beach club…it’s also giving ELEVATED. Hope this gives you the coverage and the cuteness you’re looking for! Happy vacationingggg! You can shop the Beach Day Bandeau I’m wearing and the rest of the rest of my Swim Collection on POPFLEX!   SHOP POPFLEX SWIM TBH when you guys asked me to design a swim skort I was like no bc I’d never worn one ever in my life.

The Try-On Crew is SERVING in the POPFLEX Reef Romper

The Try-On Crew is SERVING in the POPFLEX Reef Romper Is it possible to make full-coverage swimwear that is also cute? YES, and I have proof. Meet the POPFLEX Reef Romper! Goal #1: Full coverage bottoms, without giving diaper. After that, it was all about vintage-inspired details and functionality. I looove me a square neckline. It’s always flattering and provides some coverage for those with bigger busts. The straps are adjustable to fit whatever you’re workin’ with. Speaking of adjustability, the corset-inspired lace-up back allows you to find the perfect fit for a secure fit that accentuates your hourglass shape. Let’s try on the Reef Romper I asked our Try-On Crew, a group of women sizes XXS to 3X, is here to show you how magical the Reef Romper truly is. It’s just one of those things that looks good on EVERYONE. See for yourself!   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by POPFLEX (@popflex_active)   Get this before it sells out (again)!! SHOP REEF ROMPER The reviews are in! Ahh this is my favorite part – Seeing my design babies on different bodies and hearing what you think! Carmen, Try-On Crew Measurements: Size: L Height: 5′ 2″ Waist: 34.5″ Hips: 42.5″ Bust: 39″ Bra Size: 36C Carmen’s review! “I never thought I’d see the day when I liked one pieces! This was such a cute bathing suit and has the perfect touch of vintage charm. I also loved that it has pockets – because sometimes you don’t want to take a dip! You just want to hang out, and it’s convenient for your phone. It’s nice and comfy, and the fabric feels really high quality.“ Vintage charm! Love that! You look so stunning!   Khalia, Try-On Crew Measurements:  Size: XL Height: 5′ 4″ Waist: 35.75″ Hips: 47″ Bust: 42″ Bra Size: 36D From Khalia! “OBSESSED with this color! This is a super cute one piece that provides the *perfect* amount of coverage for the more modest ladies. My DD chest feels supported, there’s no cleavage, and the straps are adjustable/don’t dig into my shoulders! The corset back detail is giving business in the front, party in the back, and the pockets are such a functional lil cherry on top! Highly recommend if u wanna be fully covered, comfy, and cute! “ THIS. This is the vibe we were going for. The color is amazing on you!   Amber, Try-On Crew Measurements:  Size: 3X Height: 5′ 9″ Waist: 47″ Hips: 56.5″ Bust: 53″ Bra Size: 38G Amber says, “I usually shy away from swimwear without underwires (for obvious reasons) but I absolutely fell in love with this swimsuit. It feels like a beachy romper and the fabric is soft but supportive. I can see throwing on cute shoes and a cover-up with gold jewelry and having cocktails in a fancy hotel lobby after a day at the pool. I still prefer slightly wider straps personally, but they are comfy and don’t dig in. I just like the look of wider straps.”  Omg Amber I don’t even have words! You look beautiful in this!   SHOP REEF ROMPER Wanna see more try-ons?? Your feedback means so much to me! Let me know what questions you have in the comments! The reviews are IN.

Let’s DIVE into POPFLEX Swim 2024!

Let’s DIVE into POPFLEX Swim 2024! Guys, the drop has dropped. Introducing, POPFLEX Swim 2024!!! THE SWIM SHOP AHHH! Summer is officially here!!! I took all your feedback from our first swim drop last year, meshed it with new ideas (and more cup sizes), and guys, our 2024 POPFLEX Swim Collection is our mermaidiest dreamiest drop yet! As always – these pieces aren’t just for sitting pretty, they’re made for play! Silhouettes for ALL bodies For 2024, we have 16 silhouettes: Some that we loved last year (with a few improvements!) plus brand new designs. The goal? Create a silhouette for every body type, more cup sizes than EVER, and coverage options for every comfort level. WE ARE NOT DREADING SWIMSUIT SHOPPING EVER AGAIN, OKAY?! THE SWIM SHOP Choose your cheekiness! Different bodies and comfort levels require OPTIONS. So I designed five bikini bottoms with different rises, cuts, and cheek coverage. Here they are, in order from most to least cheeky: Sunshine Scoop Ultra Cheeky Low Tide Super Cheeky Crisscross Hourglass Cheeky High Tide Cheeky Sand Dollar Surf Shorts   When you shop, look for this guide in the product description to see how the bottom is cut to sit on your waist, hips, and booty. Hopefully, this helps you find the perfect fit!   SHOP BIKINI BOTTOMS   Ooooh and one other major change from last year! I brought back the Boardwalk Bombshell One Piece because duhhh we love her. BUT I also added a mid-coverage option in black if you’re looking for something with MORE coverage than the original. SHOP ONE PIECE SWIMSUITS The bikini tops You asked for more cup sizes, so that was at the top of the list when the design team and I went to the drawing board for Swim 2024. We set out to include up to G-cup and I have to say, it was not easy. BUT WE DID IT. The Boardwalk Bombshell Bikini Top and Boardwalk Bombshell One Piece are available in cup sizes A-G and all of the tops range from sizes XXS to 3X. Which style are you loving? Super feminine Bombshell, the mermaid-like Siren Sweetheart, the timeless Coastline Cap Sleeve, or classic Sandbar Strapless? SHOP BIKINI TOPS The Reef Romper Ummmmmm HOWWWWW are we currently living in a Sabrina Carpenter me espresso moment when I designed this vintage 50’s inspired swim piece over a year ago!?!? I don’t follow trend reports or anything…just my heart (no really) so this is a complete surprise! First of all LOVE our lil polly pocket singer, second of all, when you guys asked for coverage – I was on it immediately. But I didn’t wanna do diaper frump town USA coverage ya know? I wanted something classy, something feminine, something exactly like what eventually became the Reef Romper you see here! The fabric is so smooth and soft…there are pockets…there’s adjustability and snatchability…it’s lined bc no one wants a see thru swimsuit…and guys, I say coverage while still looking cute has been officially accomplished. SHOP REEF ROMPER   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Cassey Ho (@blogilates) The final layer THE MOST STUNNING COVERUPS. Are you ready? You’re not ready. The Mermaid Mesh Coverup Dress comes in two colors: Black and Coconut Cream. She’s stunning! Next we have the I Need A Vacation Shirt Dress, which you probably remember from last year! This year, it comes in 3 colors: Black, Pink Lavender, and Coconut Cream. Wear it breezy and open, or with a belt to accentuate your waist. Everyone needs a simple sarong. The Minimoon Short Sarong is made with 100% sheer cotton and comes in one size that can be tied to fit just the way you like it. Choose from coconut cream or pink lavender! Guys…we did a SWIM SHRUG! The mesh gives light and airy coverage, adding a little edge to your swim look instead of covering it up. This one comes in black and coconut cream, in sizes XXS to 3X, as always! SHOP COVERUPS That’s it for POPFLEX Swim 2024!!! Don’t forget to grab a Superbag to carry all of your beach essentials!   Whew! Hope you loooooove!!! I can’t wait to see what you get.   Guys, the drop has dropped. Introducing, POPFLEX Swim 2024!!! AHHH! Summer is officially here!!! 🥥🪸🐚 I took all your feedback from our first swim drop last year, meshed it with… Cassey{authorlink}https://www.blogilates.com/blog/popflex-swim-2024/Blogilates The official blog of Cassey Ho https://www.blogilates.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/fav-1.png
