Posted in Bikinis, Swimsuits, swimwear
Looking great in swimsuits depends a lot on how you choose what style your swimwear will be. It is highly important to determine what your body type is, so that you will be able to find out what swimsuits to buy as you ready yourself for the summer.
If you worry about being small-chested, don’t fret– choose padded triangle types so that they help your chest get a larger appearance. You can also choose fringed tops, so that it makes your bust look fuller. On the other hand, if you are blessed and have a full bust, choose an underwire top bikini so you’ll get all the support you need.
Women with curvy hips look great in bikinis that come with wide tie-sides. Adjusting the ties will help you enhance those hips and make them look nicer.
Now that you’re ready with your killer swimsuits, it’s time to have some fun under the sun!

The new swimsuit sensation has apparently used the power of new technology to pave her way to fame and stardom. Nineteen year old Kate Upton, the latest cover girl of Sports Illustrated, reportedly used the power of social media to gain success. Now, the long legged beauty is akin to a 1950s pinup girl.
She has arrived on the scene as a largely self-created Internet phenomenon. With a good number of Twitter followers (170,000 followers as of last count), Kate Upton has amassed a good number of adoring fans. Her YouTube video also has over 3 million views and as for her marketing potential, people say it’s best measured by her rocketing from obscurity to No. 2 on a list of the world’s 99 “top” women compiled by AskMen.com, an online magazine with 15 million readers.
Upton also gained more respect and adulation after she posted a video of herself at a Los Angeles Clippers game doing the Dougie, a dance popularized in a hip-hop tune by Cali Swag District.
Now, the nineteen year old social media and Internet darling joins the elite club of Sports Illustrated swimsuit girls such as Cheryl Tiegs, Tyra Banks and Heidi Klum, Upton was announced Monday night on David Letterman’s show as the latest cover girl for Sports Illustrated’s annual swimsuit issue, the circulation and advertising behemoth that has long been equally the dream book of adolescent males and the bane of feminists.

One of the stars of the reality show “Real Housewives of Miami” sure showed the riskier, daring side of her. Marysol Patton, one of the stars in the said reality show, recently wore an age appropriate swimwear, to the delight of fashion observers everywhere. These fashion critics have consistently hit Patton for feeling and thinking as if she was still a youngster.
Marysol Patton has also been called “fish lips” by many critics. This is because she often undergoes surgery and gets botox injections for her lips and other parts of her body.
Patton was seen wearing what people called “age appropriate” swimwear at the beach recently.
The show that Patton is a part of just got renewed for a second season. Critics say that the show may have been renewed for various reasons including the fact that Patton may have been asked back because of her mother, Elsa.
“Lea Black is old-Florida-lady-with-money-to-burn-kind-of-crazy, so naturally she’s bringing the noise and da funk back. Adriana de Moura will make it back as well, for reasons unknown. Alexia Echevarria will make an appearance every now and then due to personal matters,” according to Entertainment Weekly.
According to showbiz sites, filming for the second season of the Real Housewives of Miami is currently underway.

Since the 1950s, the one-piece swimsuits and two pieces with high-waisted pants and wide-strapped brassiere tops design proved to be popular for summer widely known as the classic ”itsy-bitsy” bikini.
Swimwear brands including Jets, Isola by Megan Gale, Seafolly, Aqua Blu, Gorman, Tigerlily, Baku and Alannah Hill’s swimwear collection launched their designs this month. These are among dozens offering versions of the iconic style popularised by Hollywood bombshells Rita Hayworth, Lana Turner, Esther Williams and Marilyn Monroe in the 1940s and 1950s.
Designer Lisa Gorman said that girls are loving it because it’s fashion forward, but also comfortable and practical. It is also feminine, which is really strong in fashion, plus it emphasizes the figure, its quite supportive, and for the most part in vintage style prints.
Gorman launched her first versions of the bombshell three summers ago and realised instantly she had a hit on her hands as she sold three times as many of them than the smaller, basic bottom.
Mary Lou Scally of Scally & Trombone, Fitzroy retailer, said that sales of her Esther Williams collection, based on the aquatic Hollywood star’s actual two and one-piece swimsuits, were also rocketing.
David Bush, David Jones womenswear general manager, has also reported a brisk business for the bombshell, but predominantly among the younger women. He said that they have definitely seen a rebirth of the high-waisted designs.
At Myer, on the other hand, the look is still limited to more daring customers. Womenswear buyer Vicki Kordatou, said that the styles sold well except that they are still being worn by the fashion-savvy consumers who are not afraid to make a statement at the beach. She also suggests that for those less daring, a hipster brief or tie-side bikini pant is still a very popular option for them to acquire.
