Hey Haterz!
As we all know the weather is changing (my hair is getting frizzier by the minute!) and as the weather changes so do our fashion trends. Here's a few pieces you need to consider splurging on in order to even consider the fact of surviving summer.
1. Birkenstocks
Okay everyone, hold your horses! I know as soon as you saw these you gagged. So they may not be the totally hottest shoes,but they are so so so so SO functional! I wear mine EVERYWHERE (well, almost everywhere.) They are great for the beach (Birks actually stay on your feet, unlike heels, and you can actually dance in them!), amazing for the mall (they won't murder your feet after 10 hours or more of shopping!), and versatile for so many other activities! They come in like 1000000000 colours (okay not actually that many, but I think you get my point.).
Where to find them: Soft Moc, Steps, Gradys, Journeys, and online!
2. Expensive Bathing suit that flatters YOUR body.
Okay so when I say expensive I don't really mean money wise, I mean quality wise. Don't buy a bathing suit that is super cheap, but wont even last one swim in the Atlantic. Also, notices how I put YOUR BODY in capitals. Don't buy a skimpy little bikini if your a big girl living in a skinny world. Don't buy a full piece wetsuit if you've worked hard on a good, muscular, and slim body. Show it off girl! Below I've made my very own body bathing suit code equations (who doesn't love fashion math?!) and listed great places to get the bathing suit for your body.
Curvy (full middle + smaller hips)= high wasted bottoms with cute stripes! They should go above your belly button to create and AH-mazing hour glass shape.
Where to find this: Esther Williams Swimwear, modcloth.com, Roxy, Areopostale, and more!
Small bust + small shoulders= Bandeau! These strapless tops totally add a cup size!!! Flat girls these are the swimsuit tops for you!
Where to find this: Tavik swimwear, Victoriassecret.com, Agatha Ruiz de la Prada swimwear, theorchidboutique.com, arie stores and arie.com. roxy stores and roxy.com, gossipswim.com, Pacsun, and more! Oh and did I mention Walmart has bandeau bathing suits on sale for $5?
Full tummy+curvy all over= A one piece in a dark colour! These types of swimsuits totally smooth your tummy and streamline your silhouette!
Where to find this: Lands end and Landsend.com, pacificsunwear.com, splendid.com, bodenusa.com, quicksilver stores and quicksilver.com, hotmiamistyles.com, and flirtcatalog,com. you could also try places like Walmart and Zellers for great one pieces with great padding!
full bust+broad shoulders=Underwire top with higher coverage sold in your bra size! This bathing suit top is like sent from bathing suit heaven. No more spilling out of tiny cups!!
where to find this: everythingbutwater.com, Macy's stores and Maceys.com, Joe fresh and Joefresh.com, Walmart, and roxy stores and Roxy.com.
Big bum+ long legs= A full-coverage bottom like a high wasted back or boy shorts!This bottom fits like granny panties almost! Okay, that sounds awful but trust me they are toally awesome for holding everything in. No more embarrassing cheeks peeking out! Try a graphic top wich draws attention to your top half instead.
Where to find this: Travik swimwear, freepeople.com, amiclubwear.com or AMI Clubwear stores, Lulifama.com and Luli Fama stores, hurley stores and hurley.com. Splendid stores and splendid.com plush much more!
Okay so after that long math assignment above lets hope you passed the test!
3. BRONZER.
okay this is totally a must have. This summer make it your goal to not be a burnt lobster or a piece of paper. Be a Bronze beauty!!
medium skin tone: try Jergens natural Glow & protect for $9 in most drugstores. This has SPF 20 and is loaded with moisture as well as a natural remedy that creates colour that looks real!
olive skin tone: XEN-TAN is the way to go! it has instant bronzing and moisturising ingredients! for a little bit of money ($26) this bottle sent from above could be yours.
golden skin tone: okay if you have a golden skin tone I am totally jealous of you right now, but you should try Beach sexy its a tinted self tan body spray that plays up your already sunny colour ($12, victoria secret stores)
Bronze skin tone: you barely need any bronzer so try Loreal paris sublime bronze. It creats a splash of sun with no Paraben! You have AH-mazing medium natural tanned skin already so this is great for you. ($11 drug stores)
dark skin: If you are like black I am totally jellen on you because I WANT YOUR SKIN. try hard candy GLOW all the way. The deep flecks of bronze give your amazing skin sheen that you can control! its an instant bronzer\2
($8 walmart stores)
fair skin: okay so I'm a fair skin girl, and this Supergoop! spf 20 gradual self tanning sunscreen mouse is for us albinos. it wont make our skin look fake like and will hydrate us all summer long!
($38 Nordstorm)
4. High heels
Okay wedges are a total MUST HAVE. They are like the most upcoming yet classic trend of the summer. With a little practice you will be strutting your stuff in no time!
5. Flowery sundress
okay so last summer rompers were totally taking over, but this summer I have a feeling sundresses will have total world domination! Pair a cute sundress with a leather jacket or jean jacket, birks, and a cute clutch and your all set for that huge beach party going on a couple blocks away.
Okay so now that you've read my first fashion blog its time to get off the computer and exercise or go out and actually shop for some of the things above!! As for me, I'm spending the rest of the day on couch. (BEING SICK SUCKS!) Comment, please tell me whatcha think!
Till next time
keep on keeping on!
You know you love me,
Fashionista girl.
