Summer Lovin'

Hello there!! We hope you're all having a great week!!

Memorial Day weekend is the official beginning of summer!!  Along with it comes...bathing suit season.  Yes, its finally here.  The reason we have all been killing ourselves at the gym and hitting the tanning salon.  Bathing suit season does bring about one positive thing though...a new reason to go SHOPPING (as if we needed one hehe) !!!

It also brings us to our FASHION FIXATION du jour, bathing suits!!!  It happens every year, we pull out our bathings suits that have not seen sunlight in about nine months and try them on and OH NO! it doesn't fit!! We don't want to believe it but the perfect suit that fit like a glove last year just doesn't quite make it this year.  This presents another problem...finding a new go to bathing suit for the season.  But not to worry we have some fantastic tips to make this process completely painless!


First, where to start your search? Department stores like Nordstroms, Bloomies, Macys and Lord and Taylor are always a great choice.  They have a ton of options, all colors, all sizes, all styles and all age groups.  Some other companies that have great choices are Victoria's Secret, Juicy Couture and Ralph Lauren.


When you get to the store the next most important thing is whether or not the suit is age or occasion appropriate.  We recommend always keeping the places you will be wearing this bathing suit in mind when shopping.  A super small bikini is not always the most appropriate or acceptable option.

Next you want to make sure the style is flattering and sensible.  The first thing to think about it tan lines!  If you have an event coming up where you are wearing a strapless dress PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not have huge tan lines pas jolie!!!!!!! Invest in a bandeau style suit that will keep those tan lines away so you aren't sorry later!  Another thing to keep in mind is metal accents on your bathing suits.  Some metal accoutrements can get really hot in the sun and actually burn you!! BE CAREFUL!!

The last thing to think about when shopping is color.  We all know the colors that are not the most flattering to our skin tones and that never holds truer than with our bathing suits.  Make sure the color looks good on you so you feel good about the suit! Your signature color is your signature for a reason!! STICK TO IT!!

With these tips you will be looking great on the beach or at the pool!! Don't forget your sunscreen and shades and head outside to catch some sun and surf! ENJOY!!


Stay Flawless and Fabulous!
Love,
Lyndsey and Jenn
