Summer Style Tips: How to Find the Right Beachwear for Your Body Shape

How to find the best beachwear swimwear swimsuit bathing suit for your body shape

With spring in the air, now could be a great time to think about your summer beachwear – particularly if there’s a girly getaway or a romantic escape on the cards. The right attire is a must if you’re jetting off into the sun, so here’s how to dress for your body shape.

Athletic

You might not be the most buxom babe on the planet, but you don’t need a breast augmentation to enhance your assets. That’s right, padded tops can do wonders for your chest and ruffles and frills will add interest around your cleavage. If you’re athletic, a bikini will also break up the straight line of your torso and help flaunt the subtle curves you do have. Ring-top bandeau styles are wonderfully attractive and bright, floral patterns can add a cute, feminine touch.

Forever 21 Designer Knockoffs: Yay or Nay?

Forever 21 Designer Knockoffs: Yay or Nay?

I love Forever 21, and it is no secret that Forever 21 is hugely popular.  The sheer assortment of different styles and the huge amount of clothes they carry ensures that they appeal to everyone. Their prices are dirt-cheap, which definitely doesn’t hurt, and their clothes look like they could be the latest designer fashions.  But here’s the catch – a lot of them are almost exact replicas of designer pieces!

How to Add Chic to Casual Chic (plus a giveaway)

Lorraine Tyne Necklace

I’m a pretty casual dresser.  Sure, I love getting dressed up and would wear a dress and heels every day if I could, but it just isn’t practical with my lifestyle.  I still want to look put together and stylish, so the secret solution I’ve discovered is jewelry.

Once upon a time, not long ago, I focused only on my clothes and never gave a thought to accessories.  I then realized how much accessories can make or break an outfit.  My love for jewelry developed around this time, and I quickly discovered that a casual or plain outfit can be made chic and stylish with the addition of something pretty or sparkly.  Not only that, but even the fanciest and most trendy outfit can be made even better and more unique with the addition of jewelry.

Thrift Store Finds: Shoes!

Although I tend to have bad luck in general, I always seem to stumble on awesome thrift store finds.  My two most recent shoe additions were great finds, and both from thrift stores!

Sam Edelman Snakeskin FlatsThe first are Sam Edelman Snakeskin Pointy Flats.  I’ve been looking for flats, and these are adorable!  They looked like they have been worn maybe twice, and they fit me perfectly.  I haven’t even had a chance to wear these yet, so I’m excited to style them.  Be on the lookout for an outfit post featuring my new Sam Edelman flats!

When I first came across eShakti, there were a lot of thoughts running through my head.  Number one was disbelief; this had to be too good to be true.  My next thought was one of excitement and pure joy.  Finally, I thought, “Why aren’t ALL online designers like this?”  Maybe in the future they will be, but for now we have the amazing eShakti.com.
