PREPARE FOR SWIMWEAR...

SUMMER'S AROUND THE CORNER PEOPLE!! TIME TO SHOP FOR THAT NEW BATHING SUIT!!

   Okay so in case you've missed it, high-waisted everything seams to be trending right now. I know it sounds a little matronly, and sometimes does appear that way, but I promise if worn correctly IT CAN BE very figure flattering.
    In my opinion, when shopping things high waisted, I generally don't like to wear anything that goes too over or passes my navel, my comfort is either right below the belly button or SMACK in the middle. Anything higher makes me feel like "Urkel"; with a front butt and a camel toe. And lets face it ladies that's a whole look we NEVER want to cross.
.YEAH..sorry Blake Lively but that aint cute.

Here however are a few of my favorite finds I seen while fishing through the web for some fierce fashion....

     These shown below are from one of my FAVORITE sites. Like I said in my last post if you haven't seen or checked out NASTYGAL.COM yet, seriously WTF are you waiting for??!! It's definitely on the pricier sides when buying things on trend but they really offer some one of a kind pieces here and if anything else it's a dope site that your sure to find some inspiration from.





DAVIA BIKINI $158.00


{Nasty Gal also offers this same print in full body swimsuit with a sweetheart neckline for $148.00 called the "Roadway Swimsuit."}






BONDI BUSTIER BIKINI $238.00















Here is one that I found off of UrbanOutfitters.com; with almost the same resemblance to the "Davia Bikini" shown above, but at a much more reasonable price..
TAVIK SALLY BIKINI $72.00


Here are two SUPERRR cute suits I found off of Forever21.com that give off more of that innocent retro edge...





FLORAL CHERRY RETRO BIKINI











{Forever21 sells all there tops and bottoms separately. Each top is priced at $10.80, while all bottoms are sold for $9.80.} 





HOUNDSTOOTH BIKINI










Well that's all for now world! Hope I was able to give you some cool new fresh ideas on your thoughts of swimwear! And remember "Don't Knock Till You try It!" you never know what it's going to look like UNTIL you try it on! Who knows you might just fall in love with a trend or two! ;-) HAPPY SHOPPING!

XO,

BRIGHTEN UP YOUR DAY

Neutral Blazer=CHECKStripes=CHECK, Super Bright Multicolored Scarf=CHECK!


Tired of the same ol' boring work gear, or just feeling frumpy and looking for a quick pick me up?? SIMPLE SOLUTION!-just add scarf! I find that even on my most casual laid back "lazy days" a simple accessorie will do the trick! Try this out the next time your feeling like "nothing to wear" [We've all been there], throw a bright colored scarf on or neutral one with some cool prints and watch yourself instantly feel chic-er!






Side note: Too hot for a scarf? Throw on a cool big bulky necklace, or some intricate bangles and rings! Have a focal point without over doing it and watch compliments come flying your way! Sometimes less is more. ;-)

THE LOOK
Blazer: Ann Taylor
Blouse: New York & Company
Pants: Jeggings from Wet Seal
Heels: Bebe
