Summer is Coming!

Hello lovelies!

As we all have noticed, the sun is shining more and temperatures are rising! Summer is around the corner! But, are you ready for it?

Its time to freshen our closets with this summer's essentials! Put away the boots and cardigans, and bring forward the flip flops and swim suits!

So here are a few things that I highly recommend purchasing for the coming months along with a few tips :)

Gladiator Sandals

These shoes honestly work with any summer outfit. It may be with a tank top and shorts, a sun dress, or a bathing suit and cover up.

Romper

When it comes to rompers, the more I see, the more I love. When they first appeared on the scene, I was very skeptical. But I have 2 and I definitely need more. They are an entire outfit in 1. If you are apprehensive about buying one, at least try on a few in the store. They are extremely flattering on every body type. I recommend buying them a little to big, as compared to a little too small. If they are too small, you will have a problem in your 'lady area' if you know what I mean ;)

Florals


Thank you to Lauren Conrad for teaching me how to mix patterns. Say if you have a floral skirt with a striped shirt. If the skirt's background is navy, the striped shirt should have a back ground color of navy also. Example:

Bathing Suits

Now bathing suite are always a sensitive subject. So many different body types and so many different insecurities. From experience, I've learned that if you wear a bathing suit that you LOVE compared to one you think you look the best in, you will feel much more confident and in turn, look better. But here are a few tips I've picked up...

1. If you are going to buy 2 bathing suits, get a solid one and a patterned one so that you can mix and match and end up with 4 suits!

2. I have learned that if you are a bit more 'gifted' than others, I do not recommend a bandeau type of bathing suite, nor a string bikini. Triangle bikinis with a wider band provide the most support and most security.

3. If you think you are "in between" a 2 piece and a 1 piece, go with the two piece if you feel comfortable. A one piece will make your hips look wider and they are harder to fit properly across your body. Example: if you have a smaller chest and a larger badonkadonk, the bottom part of the suit with give you a pantie line.

I hope this helps everyone with their summer shopping needs! What are your most useful summer time tips?
