Revamp Your Office Space!

I love taking a room and changing a few things to have it looking fresh & fabulous again! Here are a few items that can revamp & glamorize that old dusty office of yours & make those long nights in front of the computer screen a lot more enjoyable!

My Beach Day Essentials

One of my favorite parts of summer is being able to go to the beach with my friends and lie around in my bikini all day in the sun. Living in Ontario, Canada, our summer days are SO precious to us, we can't afford to not take advantage of those hot days.

 

Here are my Beach Day essentials!

Beach Day Essentials by josee-darquise featuring CB2

Bathing Suits for Different Body Types

Bathing suits are a must have for every summer season, if you’re like me & you like to spruce up your bathing suit collection every once in a while you'll love the ones I've lined up for you below.

I'm currently on a strict work out regime to make my body bikini ready in time for those beach days on the sand & in the sea!
 

Small Chest

 

You girls are LUCKY! You can pull of pretty much any bathing suit! Girls with smaller chests can rock the bandeau bikini without having their girls go down to their knees (I’m SO jealous!). The only thing that my friends have told me is to avoid molded bikini tops, they tend to show a bit too much as your chest might not be large enough to fill in the mold and you don’t want people peeking inside when you’re not paying attention. Other than that, you girls have fun, try on anything you like, it will look gorgeous!

 

Billabong - One Piece Bathing Suit

Kate Spade - Bandeau Bikini

 Large Chest

 

Girls with large chests like me have a hard time finding the right bathing suit, bandeau types don’t give enough support and sometimes the triangle bikini tops don’t cover enough or give enough support. I am a 32D, so I need the support in all the right places & I don’t want my girls falling out on the side. Any bathing suit with a halter or bustier type top will give larger chests the support they need, without having them spill on the sides. These bathing suits will make you feel comfortable & sexy!

 

 MINKPINK - Keyhole Bikini

Blush by Profile - Bustier Bikini

Complement your Curves

 

If you’re looking for a bathing suit that is slimming, go for a one piece black bathing suit that hugs your curves in all the right places. Rushing and draping in certain areas can add great emphasis on your favorite part of your body, if it’s your chest, bathing suit #1 would be my go to suit! Bathing suit #2 would be great for girls who want a more modest looking suit & have great support in the chest area; those large straps & underwire are what make this bathing suit extra comfortable for your girls with that extra support!

Bleu Rod - One Piece

Miraclesuit - Underwire One Piece

A quick tip for us pale girls! Try some self tanner, it will define your body allot more than if you stay fair like me, it will be like you lost 5 pounds instantly!

* All bathing suits can be found at Nordstom (online)

* I am not a pro bathing suit expert - I am just going with what my friends have told me & my own experiences with bathing suit shopping.
