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
.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!

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.

Have a big belly?Or maybe it's just not the slim and tight mid section you had when you were 16?My excuse is pregnancy. Completely ruined my mid section.So obviously, bikini's are a no.But when looking for a one piece or tankini, keep in mind something with a little tummy control. Or Ruche design.It helps to hide the belly and midsection from poking out and gives your tummy some support.Some great sites that carry these kind of swimwear are J.Crew, Newport News and Victoria's Secret.Hide the belly, and look great at the same time.It's a win win!

The best time to buy a swimsuit is to wait after the summer season.That is when all of the swimwear is on sale!Right now is kind of an off season, but there are still so many great deals out there.Like this Guess swimsuit i found at Swimwear Express.I love it!It has the beautiful floral design with the cutesy ruffles on the top and bottom. It also come with a matching dress!It was originally: $94.00But is going for: $49.00!That my friend, is a steal!

Tips

So,i was on the beach recently and i saw a woman wearing a bandeau one piece swimsuit. It was really a cute swimsuit.The only problem was that she had very large breasts.If you have huge breasts, do not wear a bandeau, unless it has support!This one is great. Notice how it has the support?If there is no support,It will give you the uni-boob.And make your boobs sag to the ground (like the lady i saw at the beach).So,Go for suits that will accentuate your chest and give you the support you need.How many times can i say support?Support Support Support!If you like this suit, you can find it, and more like it here.
