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!

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

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

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!

* 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.

Travel Essentials!

I've created a collage of what I consider are wardrobe essentials when it comes to travelling.

 

For those of you who travel often, you know that comfort is top priority when it comes to sitting on a plane for hours at a time. Always bring a sweater with you; even if its summer time, planes tend to get very cold due to the high altitude. A shawl will help with the cold as well and you can cover your eyes with this to help you sleep if you are travelling during the day and need those extra hours of nap time (they can also deter people from talking to you if you’d prefer to be left alone). A bra like the one shown below will definitely bring your comfort to a new level! There will be no underwire to poke at you when you try to position yourself to sleep. Leggings & flats will insure your lower half is happy throughout the flight!

Let me know what your travel essentials are!

Pink is one of my favorite colors, it comes in so many gorgeous feminine shades. I always feel so classy when adorned by it. Add some classy pink to your wardrobe this spring with these gorgeous accessories!
