Green and yellow combo

Green and yellow… have you thought about that combination? I guess it’s not one that you would imagine looking good together, but they do thanks to the color wheel and the analog combination.

Love it and it’s so pretty for summer. What’s with the stripes that look so good with anything!? You cam make numerous ensembles from chic to casual with stripe shirts.

Inspired again by my iced tea shake of the week, I decided to explore again the potentiality of this combo.

Orange Pants

Today I would be in the mood for orange pants! 

Colored pants have been seen everywhere this season and it makes me so happy to bring sunshine to a closet and it's the daring skills to pull out looks with these bright colors, that makes everything a fun challenge.

With the help of some color combinations theory, you can risk more and combine orange with different colors that you have never imagined before without thinking the obvious (black) and looking like a pumpkin ready for Halloween. These pants are also the perfect way to try your hand at the color block trend, so pick a top in a solid color: blue an orange could be an option and somehow orange and pink look stunning together. 

If this is still all mighty bold for you, keep it safe and go neutral on top.

Orange trousers from J Crew with a flattering fit and a cropped shirt with a knot. Accessorize it simple with a natural fiber clutch and for a fun touch, pink and orange sandals from Zara. How about some orange nail polish too? Ready for a casual chic day.

For a more fun and risky ensemble, create a look with the complimentary colors: Blue and orange. Start with a skinny orange pants and a striped blue and white shirt. Accessorize it with blue and beige items and you are set for a fun and refreshing look. Be creative!

Beach Bag Ready?

The summer is almost here, and the beach is calling! For any woman that cares for their image, they won't despise their look at the beach. Either at the lake, or the park, or wherever you need to have a beach bag handy to get you through the day, check these essentials to keep you looking fabulous, but not overdone and yet, still looking flawless.

Here are my favorites:

a. A gorgeous swimsuit is mandatory. For those that want to show more skin, and a good breast support, this Mara Hoffman bikini is absolutey amazing. Prints are a must and this has the perfect embroidered exotic style and removable straps. Seen here.

b. The wide brim of a '70s-glam straw hat protects your face and from the sun and looks very sexy. This floppy hat could be an option.

c. Water is essential to keep you hydrated. Always carry it around in this Red Bobble(r) Water Bottle from here.

d. Carry everything in style and forget about the leather bag. A straw tote bag is perfect for the beach. Try this one from J Crew.

e. This might be the most essential pick for your bag! Skin protection! Swap your superthick formulas for a light, but superbly effective, sunscreen. This one from Kiehl's does the job perfectly.

f. Keep you lips covered and protected with a nice tinted lip from Burt's Bee's.

g. You should avoid wearing makeup at the beach, but a little boost to your eyes give you the glam look. Always go for a waterproof mascara to avoid smudged dark eyes. Try this one from Covergirl - LashBlast Volume Mega Volume Waterproof.

h. The best hairstyle for the summer? Natural beach waves. For a little assistance creating perfectly relaxed ripples, spritz hair with Fekkai Marine Summer Hair Beach Waves and scrunch with your fingers.

i. To keep everything organized in your bag, keep your personal belongings or cosmetics in this cute pouch bag.

j. Oversize frames like these from Tom Ford aren't merely stylish—they also keep the delicate skin around your eyes protected from aging UV rays.

k. Forget the big, heavy beach towel. Go for a light and easy to pack scarf or pareo. Not only let's you lay on it but covers you in a cooler after day from the beach or you can just wear it as a skirt.

l. The perfect footwear, should be comfy and flat for the beach - Jute Upper Beach Sandal from Zara

Life's a Beach - Swimsuits for large busts..

If you're big on top, the main option is to find comfort and support and you need to keep your breasts in place and not to make you look massive.

The main rule:

• no matter what you pick, either a one-pice or two-piece swimsuit, it has to have a wide strap and underwire top for support. 
• The best shape is the halter top because it will create a nice cleavage. Look for styles that have a strong band at the ribcage and will not ride up.
• Adjustable straps, boning, seamed cups, and sturdy linings help lift the chest.
• Embrace the bikini - in some cases a two-piece is better because you have a band of support all the way around the back.
• Make sure that the top covers the breast so you are not continually worrying about falling out the side. 
  

[It's all about details!]:

• Think about print and pattern - Solids are always a good bet but you can get big bold print designs to flatter and balance your body.
• You will look good in swimwear tops with diagonal lines, as well as, in bathing suits with dark top part and light bottom part if you want to minimize.
• You can use feminine touches like frills and bows to soften the styles you choose. 
• The colors should be matte and the bottom parts can have details if you want to avoid the attention on the top.
• Springy fabrics, like nylon and Lycra, lift breasts, making you look leaner all over.

What To Avoid:

• Don't ever pick a bandeau top or string top because they will give little support and it will dray all the attention to the top. Thin shoulder straps will also cut into your flesh, which is never a flattering look.
• You should avoid wearing light and colorful-variegated swimsuit tops.

Life's a Beach - Swimsuits for small breasts.

Summer is almost here, and time for a beach get-a-way and starting to work for that tan. Follow these tips to boost your body and feel great about yourself.

Although there is a common fact (small-breasts) the body types can vary, so what can look good on thinner bodies, won't work on fuller figure bodies.

If you're thin:

• choose two piece string bikinis that tie at the neck (shows more skin and accentuates other features of the body and takes away from the lack of a bigger chest) - avoid halter tops.

If you're rounder:

• Avoid most of the bikinis out there - The lack of material in this case will emphasize a bigger bottom half and highlight the woman's disproportionate parts. As an alternative, try wearing a sarong or exotic pareo skirt instead. These skirts compliment small-breasted, rounder bodies beautifully. 

[Swimsuit shapes]:

Tankinis are a popular bathing suit trend and they tend to work well for both thinner and rounder small-breasted women.The key to this look is a form-fitting top.If the top is baggy or loose then it will hang off the body and give a not-well-put together look

The one-piece suit is also a good choice for small-breasted women and especially for rounder bodies. Again, don't forget that it has to be well fitted with no gaps between the suit and skin. Pick one with:

• padding or a push-up option - they generate the illusion that the woman has more on top. Instant cleavage is created and gives a really sexy appearance. 
• details on the breast area, such as ruffles, to create the illusion of volume, therefore, boosting up the breast. 

Probably the best style bathing suit for any small-breasted woman is the two-piece bikini with what is called a bandeau top. The top presents a straight line of material from front to back.There are no openings, which is the key to why it works so well.The straight line is great because it hides a lack of cleavage for the small-breasted woman, while still giving a clean, sexy look.

[It's all about details!!]:

• create the illusion of a fuller chest.
  - small prints/small decorations (small details make you look bigger), shine (gives volume), ruffles and pleats also gives volume.

•  Wear horizontal stripes – they make the eyes go from left to right: making you look ‘wider’ visually!
•  Waer lighter colors on top. White will make you look fuller, black will make you look flatter.
