FLOP: Leg Contouring


It started with regular facial contouring. We wanted a more defined look and learned that all it took was some bronzer and highlighter. Then, we refined the concept with “baking” and setting. Now, on the heels of neck contouring, Instagram makeup gurus are introducing leg contouring. 




My question is: Have we gone too far? Listen, I’m all for glammed out looks and over-the-top ways to create the perfect face. I was even into neck contouring! But, for some reason leg contouring feels a little too extreme.

Maybe it’s the fact that we’re photoshopping our bodies in real life when our legs look just fine. In fact, they look perfect. They may not be Giselle Bundchen legs, but they’re your legs and that should be enough, right? Even for a special occasion, this seems a little extreme. Then again, it seems as though Instagram makeup girls are just having some fun and who am I to judge that?
In my opinion, you need to keep the contouring to the face and neck while loving yourself all the way through. Drop the blending brush, girl. Your legs look great as is, but if you want to have a little fun and play with some makeup, I totally understand that too.

What do you think of leg contouring? Too much or not enough? Let me know in the comments section!

Swimsuits: Find Your Perfect Look


Suns out, thighs out! Yup, it’s time to rock those swimsuits, ladies. It’s beach season and you deserve to relax and enjoy the sun while looking your best. If you’re in the market for a new suit, I’ve got some pieces that are perfect for your figure and your budget. Check them out below and read my tips to help you find the right bathing suit for you! Do you have a vacation planned this season? Let me know where you’re off to in the comments section!

Pear Shape- If you’re small up top, but have some great hips like Beyoncé and want to give your bust a little love, aim for a full piece with a deep v. This will give your body a curvier shape and an elongated frame. I’m loving this piece by Ted Baker London. It’s got that deep v, plus a bright red color to make you stand out ar the beach
Rope Strap Swimsuit



Large Bust- If you’ve got a larger bust, you’re going to want something with support to keep those girls up! Bra-style sized bikini tops are key. Add some underwire and you’re all set. Loving the bikini top from Asos below. It’s got everything you need to keep those girls in place.




Smaller Bust- If you’ve got a smaller chest, fear not because you have a chance to play with some ruffles and patterns in order to give the illusion of a larger chest. You can also go for something with some padding. Triangle tops give you the illusion of curves so feel free to go for that classic bikini. Check out the bikini top below. It’s perfect for you you! Betsey Johnson




Straight Athletic- If you’re shaped like a ruler, then it’s all about giving you the illusion of some curves. My top tip is to get a full piece that’s got some cut outs in all the right places. The Michael Kors bathing suit below has got some side cut outs to give you what you need. Slip into this suit and you’ll be ruling the waves with some curvaceous appeal. Michael Kors



Full Figured, Curvy- For women with body shapes like my gorgeous friend, Kim K West, you want to accentuate your shape without going overboard. You still want something that covers you up and gives you some support without exaggerating your curves. Retro bikinis are great for your shape because they’re all about the waist. Asymmetrical tops also do the trick for you because they draw the eye up towards your neckline. I’m currently coveting the One Shoulder Bikini Top by ASOS below. Curvy girls, would you go for this bikini? Let me know
