She’s a poster girl for curvy women and an avid advocate of body confidence.

So, it was no surprise to see Robyn Lawley encouraging other women to feel great in their own skin when she took to Instagram on Friday.

The 26-year-old Australian model shared a heavily-filtered photo of herself in a busty bra and briefs, simply captioning the image: ‘love your body’.

‘Love Your Body’: On Friday Robyn Lawley took to Instagram to share a photo of herself in some racy lingerie, encouraging fans to feel confident in their own skin

In the shot, Robyn’s head was cropped out of the frame, allowing the core focus of the image to be her curvy figure clad in racy lingerie.

Sporting a nude coloured bra with a lace trim at the base, the mother-of-one flaunted a generous glimpse of her cleavage.

And by teaming it with a pair of low slung matching lace-trim briefs, she allowed her toned tummy to also be on show for all to see.  

The post comes after Robyn spent Wednesday on the set of a photo shoot, sporting a hippie chic-inspired look, complete with a septum nose ring.

Mixing it up: The post comes after Robyn spent a day on her suspected first photo shoot for 2015, sporting a hippie chic-inspired look, complete with a septum nose ring 

Making a statement: The model sported some equally as striking make-up, with bold dusting of purple and pink eyeshadow smothered all around her green eyes on Wednesday 

This seems to be Robyn’s first major shoot for the new year after no doubt spending the holidays with loved ones including 11-month-old daughter Ripley, whom she shares with partner Everest Schmidt. 

Last month Robyn was interviewed by The Daily Edition co-hosts Sally Obermeder and Tom Williams, speaking candidly about her serious health problems throughout 2015. 

She opened up about her experiences after childbirth saying, ‘My health just went down. I had vision loss, I had numbness in my hands, my hands weren’t working like how they usually work.’

These weren’t the only side effects that she was facing as she added, ‘I got an MRI and my MRI came back with these lesions on my cerebral area and they were scared it could have been Multiple Sclerosis.’

Usual look: The 26-year-old is often seen modelling her curve-friendly swimwear range or walking the red carpet in stylish dresses 

The Sydney-born beauty returned to Australia for treatment, where doctors eventually discovered what was happening to her.

‘I had a different auto immune, because they’re all under this huge umbrella of auto immune where basically your cells are attacking themselves and your immune system doesn’t know what to rightly attack or what not to so it starts attacking itself,’ said Robyn. 

Even simple tasks became difficult, with the brunette beauty telling the hosts: ‘It got to a point where I just stopped talking for a little while because it was just so painful and everything hurt.’ 

She then added: ‘I’ve never experienced anything like it in my entire life’.

Mother and daughter: Robyn welcomed her first daughter Ripley in February last year with partner Everest Schmidt

Since first being diagnosed with the condition she hasn’t had any more attacks and explained what can bring them on.

The cover girl said: ‘It usually happens when you’re really stressed out or your body is at it’s weakest, like after child birth a lot of women are diagnosed with autoimmune conditions.’ 

Robyn is aware that having another baby, or an extremely stressful situation could bring on another attack and she revealed she isn’t planning on having any more children.

‘I’m very content and understand that I was very honoured to have Ripley and she’s a great kid.’

The proud mum features her adorable little girl commonly on her Instagram feed, sharing plenty of candid family snaps with her followers. 

Happy family: The brunette recently revealed she is not planning to have any more children at this stage in order to keep her health on track

We Have Seen the Future of Lingerie Shopping and It Is a…Bra Truck?

“Sell it from a truck” is the “put a bird on it” of San Francisco retail. From bacon to flowers to booze, there’s nothing that doesn’t sound just slightly more desirable when it’s hawked out of a truck. As a city, we’ve been captivated by Off the Grid, itinerant gift shops like Half Hitch, and TopShelf’s former mobile boutique. We are, to put it crudely, truck suckers. But when we heard about online lingerie company TrueCo.’s new bra truck, which opened temporarily at Proxy on Thursday, we did a, shall we say, double take. Given how unpleasant and intrusive lingerie shopping generally is, how could the experience of pawing through unmentionables be improved by parking them on a truck? At least the measuring tape lady would have less time to sneak up on us…right?

The only responsible option was to find out for ourselves, and so that’s what we did: We tried on bras on a truck. On a cold day, no less.

The idea of the Try-On Truck, says TrueCo. founder Michelle Lam, is to take the online shop on the road and give customers a chance to be fitted in person. “It’s a personal shopping experience with bras outside the mall,” she says. After Proxy, the truck will head to the ModCloth shop in Union Square, then Marin and Silicon Valley, followed by a yearlong national tour. 

Perhaps inevitably for a venture in mobile retail, the Try-On Truck rolls several entrepreneurial cliches into one. The truck isn’t just a truck; it’s like a tiny home! Attendants aren’t salespeople, they’re “fit therapists”! And there is, of course, an algorithm: a proprietary fit quiz that analyzes sizing data from more than 2 million women and spits out recommendations for each customer, like Netflix for your boobs.

Cute startup jargon aside, the Try-On Truck actually makes lingerie shopping a tolerable, even pleasant, experience. The 300-square-foot shop, designed by Spiegel Aihara Workshop and Mobile Office Architects, isn’t fully enclosed. But there are heaters in the dressing rooms (phew), with natural light pouring in through shades, for modesty. And there is, hallelujah, no measuring-tape lady. Instead, shoppers take the aforementioned fit quiz, which pinpoints size by taking into account how your current brand fits, along with past data from other shoppers. It also asks a lot of personal questions. We took the quiz at home the night before, and the “Are you a rightie or a leftie?” question was not answerable from memory. (Handy tip: have someone in the room you can flash for expediency’s sake.) 

Before 2 million women sized up their own breasts to build Lam’s data set, she drafted the original algorithm using the results of a fitting marathon she conducted at home in 2012. She started with 500 bras bought on a credit card, tested out by parades of 10 women at a time to give feedback and compare sizing notes. “I was without any bra fitter training, testing the quiz with them and recommending bras,” says Lam, whose shop sells her own line as well as a mix of other brands. “What I’d do was watch their eyes to see which ones made their eyes light up. That’s the emotional winner.”

When we arrived for our appointment, a fit therapist named Katherine ushered us into the largest, warmest fitting room. She showed us our fit recommendations on an iPad, asked a few polite questions about how our current bra is fitting, then disappeared. She returned with TrueCo.’s bestseller, an in-house design called the Gramercy Balconette in black lace. Being a no-nonsense sort, we assumed the lacy stylings would put us off, or at least betray their texture beneath a T-shirt. But, aware that this dealie would set the tone for the rest of our fitting, we went for it. And, whoa, what a surprise. This was a laid-back, forget-you’re-wearing-it kind of bra, comfy enough to be sold in a box with the phrase “18-hour” on the cover. Plus: cute!

When Katherine came back to gauge our reaction, we were sold. Finally, we said, a lace bra that isn’t choking on frills. Breasts look feminine all by themselves—why must the Victoria’s Secrets of the world tart them up as though we need help noticing that there are boobs in the vicinity? “Sometimes with lace you get a little too femine,” Katherine agreed, with a chatty twinge of vocal fry. “What’s great about this one is it has the scalloped edge and it does give you that round shape, but it comes in a lot of different sassy colors.” 

Beforehand, we had been a little worried about standing around in a bra with a stranger, but it all felt totally normal. Appointments at the Try-On Truck are more like a bridal-boutique session than the back of a Victoria’s Secret, where addled employees thrust fistfuls of linty sample models at lines of vaguely traumatized ladies. And why not? Bras are just as complicated as plenty of wedding dresses, and women wear them every day.

Next, Katherine brought a front-closure racerback number that was also surprisingly wearable, if a little stiff on the sternum. Soon we settled into a pattern: Every piece that looked suspect to us ended up being a delight. And the ones we had our eye on ended up being the absolute worst. (Low point: a rigid full-cup bra that felt like it had a pair of rocks in the bottom.)

The only downside to the truck is that most of the merch seems to be display only. We were all set to walk away with two Gramercy Balconettes in non-sassy colors, but instead found ourselves ordering online on the store’s iPad. The waiting runs counter to the instant gratification you’d normally expect from a truck. No way the Bacon Bacon truck could get away with that. Alas, we get it—stock scarcity is pretty much a given when you’re working in just 300 square feet. The only real improvement we can imagine? Sneaking this baby into a Pink or a Macy’s.
