It is summer and most of us are thinking about the beach, the pool, the sun, the shade, the fun and everything in between. So I have put together this cute guide on how to choose a swim outfit for your body type and also a little tidbit on what to put in your beach bag..
To the Beach– Apple Pie
WHY IT WORKS
Having an apple body type means that you
are top heavy with narrow hips so in order to balance out your body and
give you the illusion of an hour glass figure you want to create hips.
This Norma Kamali cream bathing suit creates hips on your silhouette as
well as nip in your waist. The brown swimsuit hits you at the narrow
part of your waist making your waist smaller and the v-neck makes the
bust smaller and flattering, shrinking the top half to balance it with
the bottom half.
To the Beach– Hourglass of Time
WHY IT WORKS
Having an hourglass figure means your body
is perfectly proportioned. This means you could pretty much wear
anything and it will look good on you. These two swim outfits enhances
all of your assets, from the tie neck bikini top to the side baring
swimsuit, you’ll look hot lying on the beach.

WHY IT WORKS
Having a pear shape means that your bottom
half is wider than your more narrow top half, so you must give the
appearance of a bigger bust. This Kaliko red swimsuit gives that
illusion with the ruffle that drapes across the bust, giving the bust a
wider appearance. The black and white bikini also give the appearance of
a larger bust because it ties around the neck and give a lot of lift to
your bust line creating cleavage.

WHY IT WORKS
Being Flute shaped means you are basically
up and down with no definitive curves on your body. Usually these women
are either thin or just athletic. So you must create your curves. This
Norma Kamali green swimsuit is quite risqué with its plunging neckline
giving the appearance of larger breasts while creating a hip plane with
its skirted bottom. The Miss Selfridge bikini creates hips with its
ruffled bottom and cleavage and the appearance of larger bust with its
tie neck top and push bra.

Make sure your bag is filled with these
fabulous goodies for the pool side and beach side. Embellished flip
flops to be cute from head to toe, a large beach towel with a message,
aloe vera for after being the sun–it keeps you from burning, Tarte
Cosmetics lip balm with SPF to keep your lips moisturized and protect
them from the sun, cute nail polish on the toesies, a sun hat to shield
your skin from UV rays and large sunglasses to do the same as well as to
make you look chic and craps loads of water to keep you from
dehydrating.
If you have noticed I have not included
sunscreen. Most of the sunscreen on the market are actually harmful to
your body and have been proven to have a link to certain cancers because
of the chemicals that they have in them and the fact that they keep
your pores from ridding themselves of poisonous things while you are
sweating in the sun. So to make this better for you, I have found you a
homemade recipe for sunscreen that I found over at Wellness Mama.
Natural Homemade Sunscreen Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup oil (coconut, olive, almond or grapeseed are good-I get mine here)
- 5 tsp Zinc Oxide (available online or in many stores on the diaper aisle, just make sure it is pure zinc oxide- For those concerned about contaminants or nano-particles, this version has larger particles)
- 1 TBSP Beeswax or emulsifying wax (I get mine here)
- 3 TBSP natural aloe vera gel (not the kind with alcohol or propylene glycol- I get mine from Mountain Rose Herbs and my husband also uses it for hair gel)
- 1/2 cup distilled water or brewed green tea (strained)
- 2-3 capsules of Vitamin E oil (optional)
- 10 drops Grapefruit Seed Extract (optional)
- Essential Oils or Coconut Extract for scent (optional) [Note: do not use citrus essential oils since they can actually cause burning]
How To Make Natural Sunscreen:
- Heat Oil and beeswax on double boiler until just melted.
- Remove from heat, and add vitamin E and essential oils.
- Put into bowl that will not be used for food, and add zinc oxide powder, set aside.
- In small pan, heat water or tea and aloe vera until just warm.
- Add the water/aloe mixture slowly while whisking vigorously or use an immersion blender.
- Add any additional essential oils or fragrances (except citrus)
Here are a few other things you should have in your bag.
Of course you need to be reading this book. May be a good way to start a conversation on the beach..
A classic read. To make you look all intellectual and brilliant!
