Swim Suit For Your Body Type

Summer, in so many ways, is the best time of the year. Beach days and bbq’s, boating and long days with friends are all things we can look forward to. But finding a swim suit that is both flattering and stylish is not easy feat. From not feeling totally comfortable to wearing a suit that simply doesn’t fit well, securing the perfect suit for your body type this summer is absolutely essential! Take a look at these tips for putting the fun back into summer with a swimsuit you can feel good about. 

• If a big bust  prevents you from finding the swimsuit of your dreams, keep this in mind: halter tops and racer backs are your best friends. They offer lift and coverage without giving you too much coverage. If you are top-heavy, wear prints on your smallest body part of your body to draw visual attention away from where you are bigger and wear sold colors where you are bigger.

• For anyone out there who’s blessed with a bigger bottom, find suits that bring the eyes up and take attention away from your problem area. Choose suits with a nice balance which may mean less coverage up top or by going with a brighter, more busy top.

• If you’re more of a full-figured gal, go ahead and show off your favorite assets with a plunging neckline. Go modest on other areas with a one-piece suit that hugs your frame and complements your shape. A bold print and ruching can help draw attention away from problem areas. But dark solids are also very slimming.

• If you’re petite, you own it to yourself to go bold. Choose a bright color suit that helps your small frame stand out. Look for solid, sophisticated colors like deep reds or vibrant blues.

• If you’re round in the middle, there’s a whole selection of slimming suit options out there for you. Try camouflaging your belly with bold bright prints or one piece suits with perfectly placed ruching to disguise your middle. This also works well when you are expecting.

• For those of you who are tall, thin and boy-shaped, choose swimsuits that accentuate your body. Go for angled stripes, soft colors and prints to show off your slim figure. xo

5 Must-Haves for the Beach

With summer just around the corner, it’s no surprise that we keep day dreaming of our weekend trips to the beach, soaking in the sun with a nice cocktail in hand. Make sure you have everything you need with these five beach essentials  that will make your mini vacation stress-free! 

Big Tote. A roomy bag to carry to the beach is an absolute must. It’s the building block of your day at the beach. For a bag that will endure the summer hear, try astraw beach tote. They’re durable, washable and usually big enough to carry all your essentials!

Blanket or Towel. The type of towel or blanket really depends on what you want to do while you’re there. If you plan on reading and relaxing while soaking up some sun, we recommend an oversized, good quality cotton towel or blanket.

Sun Protection. You can never be too protective of your skin. Make sure you apply lotion with a high SPF before you head out to the beach and don’t forget to reapply after getting in the water. A good pair of sunglasses is also an important essential to protect your eyes from UV rays!

Flip Flops. Flip flops are hands-down the best shoe to wear to the beach. You will not want to try to put a pair of closed toe shoes on your hot and sandy feet! Flip flops are lightweight and easy to clean, but other types of sandals will do the trick as well!

Entertainment. Depending on who you will be going to the beach with, we recommend bringing something that will help with entertainment. You can save a lot of room in your bag with a tablet that will keep all your reading material in one place. If you are at the beach with children, sandcastle-building toys are a fun choice.

These are just a few must-haves that we think will make your trip to the beach outstanding! What else will you be bringing with you?
