Jul 062014

This bustier bra top Seafully swimsuit is so sweet! It is a vintage floral underwire bra top with molded cups and removable booster pads. The top has adjustable shoulder straps and a clasp back closure. The low-rise bottom in a matching pink and floral print. It’s a hipster bottom style that has full back coverage and thick adjustable loop tie sides.

You can buy from Seafolly online or find this swimsuit in the finer online boutiques, I saw it at In Style Swimwear priced at around 100 dollars and well worth it. Seafolly takes floral prints for swimsuits and gives them an updated ultra modern look, while style maintaining the vintage appeal. I love their swimsuits, the brand comes out of Australia. One thing about their floral prints is that they have strategic solid coloring in all the right places to give a slender effect.

Slimming vintage inspired floral swimsuit

Look at the illusion of this wonderful two piece. The solid pink in the center of the bottom makes your figure look way thin, with the floral to the edges giving a figure shaping illusion. The dangling side ties help hide cheese and jiggle on the outer upper thighs. The bustier has a miracle bra look to it that still gives plenty of coverage.

This is the perfect girlfriend swimsuit! She shows she is unique with the cool body jewelry and fun beach purse. Men love women in moderate yet feminine swimsuits and this Seafolly gets a perfect ten for that! Amazing photography by Seafolly.

I recently visited the brand new Bloomingdales store in Glendale California, and it reminded me that I forgot all about Bloomingdales lately! Wow their merchandise was to die for and what a beautifully designed store and a pleasure to browse in. Prices are high but my experienced shopper friends say that if you watch for the sales you can get bargains here just like you do at Macy’s.

One brand that sells at Bloomingdales is DKNY. And DKNY has some figure flattering swimsuits for women that are just so chic and gorgeous! Their styles are a bit more sophisticated than what you see for the younger women, but they pack all the up to date fashion in them. Also, they are not quite as skimpy and provide the mature woman with better coverage.

DKNY One piece

Older women are loath to wear the two piece bikinis and cringe even at the prospect of a one piece at the beach, especially after 50! Well cringe no more because DKNY at Bloomingdales has some figure flattering styles that will turn back the aging clock a decade. Look at this playful and fun white urban animal draped maillot one piece swimsuit as an example. Wow!

This swimsuit is a stunner. Now first of all notice something whip snap smart about the back of this swimsuit. This is a one piece, but in order not to make it look to boxy, there is a small cutout in the back that leaves the back strap looking like a two piece. It leaves some skin showing that makes it look contemporary and hot! The clean ivory color with the animal print them is playful and fun, but it’s not sleazy looking like the traditional looking leopard print. So cute and chic. Check out Bloomingdales online for more DKNY styles. Clean, modern, and fun!

DKNY Bloomingdales

The front is just as adorable, looks like a bandeau style top but has halter straps for support which can be removed for sexy sunning. There is a reason that the DKNY brand has stood the test of time and been around in high fashion for decades. Don’t forget the sunscreen. Check out your local Bloomingdales sales or go online.

Swimsuit for love handles

How to hide big Hips in a Bathing Suit No Responses »

If you are looking for guidance on how to buy the most flattering swimsuit for your body type you have come to the right place. Many ladies have difficulty hiding love handles in a swimsuit since anything that presses in to your side too much will actually make the love handles more noticeable.

Swimsuit that minimizes love handles

For love handles you can try a swimsuit that is made of all one color, and has some eye fetching details that distract the eyes away from the love handles. The idea is to create a good bait and switch, and to create visual balance with the other body parts. A good balance and attraction to other features is what makes the love handles go away! This electric blue swimsuit gives a perfect example of how to use distraction to minimize figure flaws. Notice the sexy one strap feature which draws attention upwards to the shoulder. Notice also, the interesting cross over detail on the top which leads the eyes up and gives a great distraction from the waist. Finally, the tiny but tasteful cutouts give the illusion of a thinner waist and beautiful hips rather than bulky hips. The overall blue color is dazzling and creates another distraction by being a vibrant yet figure slimming color. Notice also the higher heels with the fun color. This is just great for hiding love handles as looking a little taller gives a visual slimming effect. Her wavy hair also creates a good balance to the body and draws attention up. A great way to minimize love handles is to wear hair full and with body to create a balance at the top of the head. Lastly, the interesting purse is fun and creates a distraction with her quirky style.

Saha swimwear

This swimsuit is really a winner and shows how you can minimize figure flaws with color, accessories, hairstyle, and cutouts and eye-catching effects in all the right places. I give this electric blue swimsuit a perfect 10. I believe and am almost sure that this swimsuit is from Saha Swimwear but I was unable to find the purchase source for it. You can check out other styles from Saha because they always have unusual and unique details and figure flattering ideas.

10 Tips to a Beautiful Summer Body

To make yourself look slimmer try darker solid colors in the areas that need shape control. In addition, go for brighter colors in your most attractive areas to draw attention to those.
Try mix and match bottoms and tops because this lets you choose a top and bottom that fits the best to each of the top and the bottom. It also lets you get more or less coverage and support depending on where you need it.
For a larger chest look for styles that have a good support band and halter ties rather than spaghetti strap shoulder ties
Avoid all over flow prints and get prints that have solid colors in at least some of the print
Only buy tankinis if you can use the top to wear as sexy clothing since that makes a tankini more sensible and lets you pair it with shorts or a skirt cover up.
For a small chest try bandeau tops with bright detailing
Don't just hide a particular flaw and then think you're done, you must couple that with drawing attention to another more positive area of your body
For shorter legs try a monokini or scoop style bottoms that go up higher on the sides since that always elongates the legs
If you are overweight don't hide everything make sure to use your cleavage to your adavantage as that is sexy and draws attention away from weight issued areas
For a boyishly thin figure try exotic one piece suits with prints and cutouts. Cutouts always give the illusion of curves
For a thick waist try a solid cover in front but show some interesting bare back or interesting neckline to draw attention away from the belly
Swimsuits with solid colors tend to slenderize while swimsuits with patterns tend to add curves. Make sure to use or combine these figure flattering concepts to the right areas
