just the perfect accessory.

Tips



This week is all about accessories.

Hats, Sunglasses, jewelry, totes, you name it!
I love walking on the beach and seeing a girl perfectly accessorized.
Fedora hat. Small necklace. Aviator sunglasses.
It is just soft on the eyes.

Like i always say,
Keep It Simple!

There is a thing called too many accessories.
It's not a fashion show.
It's the beach!

Swim throughout the Century


The beautiful
Audrey Hepburn.
Queen of the 50's.

Teaching us how to accessorize was effortless.

I love the bottom pic.
So Vintage and fun!

Tips

Self conscious about the booty?
Or maybe you just don't feel like showing it off?

Whether your skinny or curvy,
there are ways of covering it up.

For the curvy girl i found a swim dress at Always For Me.

I really love this one
Because
It is cute and sexy
and is ruched on the side so you can make it short,
or make it longer.
And this little swim skirt i found at Victoria's Sectret
could be for anyone really.
It's simple and cute
But tight and still sexy.

I am not a big fan of the huge, tarp like swim skirts.
They do cover,
But end up making everyone who wears them look actually
fatter. And maybe a tad frumpy.
I'm just sayin'....

So keep it fun and sexy and simple!


Swim Throughout the Century

Next on our list for swimwear throughout the century

MIX & MATCH

Steals & Deals

I was on F.B. when a friend said she had just bought a bathing suit for $10. I was impressed.
She also put a link on there, so i clicked on it.

It was Lime Ricki Swimwear.

I thought the swimwear was a little over top when it came to design and color,
until i saw this one:
I know the picture is really small,
but the colors are fun and the design is too.

The Listing Price: $40.00
Sale Price: $30.00

Not too shabby.

Roxy

Known as being more popular with the juveniles,
but really i love them.
And i am in my mid twenties!

They have been around forever, and they still know how to kill it.

I was really impressed with their selection right now.
They have kept it simple, but not drab. And cute, but not over the top.
Again with the ruffles and florals
For the Monokini Lover,
this one is for you
This Tankini is awesome!I love how you have the different tie options
And last but not least.
One of the cutest one pieces of the year!

So there you have it.
Roxy isn't just for teenie boppers!

Tips

Okay.
I see this one a lot. And it kills me really.

The unflattering, too small, or not tied tight enough bikini top.I am left thinking to myself:
Why?
For those of you that are guilty of this:
  1. Get a top that fits your chest. If it doesn't cover all angles of your boobs, don't buy it! Unless it is for someone that really wants to see you look like that. But for the general public, don't.
  2. Tie your top nice and tight. Lift your jewels for heaven's sake!
It's that easy.

Looking to the Past To see the Future

Since there is no big news this week for Monday Media that i know of,
i want to focus more on what has made swimwear what it is today.

Swimwear throughout the century!

Our first look at the past starts in 1942.

Betty Grable.

You know the saying, "Isn't she a betty?"
I am almost positive they are referring to her:
I absolutely love the fact
that these kinds of swimsuit styles are making a comeback!
(ah-hmm: Anthropologie and ModCloth)
From what i hear,
she was the first original pin up girl during the war.

Betty Grable,
Thank you for making wearing a one-piece look goooood!

Stay tuned for more Swimwear throughout the century every Monday

It was back in 2000.
Yes a decade ago when i first laid eyes on Zimmerman's Victoria Secret collection.
It was a white tankini with a coral design. And it came with a matching floppy hat.

I wanted it soooooo badly!

And right when the summer hit and the pools opened, low and behold, my best friend steps out of her volkswagon in none other than the beloved tankini.

I was so mad! I was so jealous!
I couldn't get it now, because it's just a rule in high school not to wear the same bathing suit as your best friend.

I still love that swimsuit. I still love that designer.

Today i want to showcase just a couple of pieces Zimmerman's 2010-2011 line.
Floral designs and ruffles are where it's at right now.

And i love this simple one piece suit.
Incredibly elegant.
