Swimsuit Edition 2011-Finding the Perfect Swimsuit for Your Body Type

Finding the right swimsuit can be very time consuming! Women are more than obsessive over their bodies. Every female wants to look and feel sexy, and part of that process is knowing what works for your body type!

Here are a few tips on picking the perfect swimsuit for your body type:

Small on Top

If you are small on top, lean towards tops with padding, underwire, and bandeau style these are a perfect compliment to a dainty frame!

Rosa Cha Bandeau Bikini


Big on Top

If you are big on top, you definitely need the extra support so opt for underwire, halter or one piece's with structure in the bust line.

Tommy Bahama Halter Bikini


Short Torso

With short legs/torso you can play off your figure with a suit that is high cut on the thigh, this will make your legs appear longer. If you have curvy hips even better, this cut will accentuate your smaller waistline.

Norma Kamali High Cut One Piece


Long Body Shape

For Long body shapes embellishments at the hip and bustline will be your new BFF!

 
Milly Hardwire Bkini


Too Much Tummy

If you have a bit of a pooch, one pieces with tummy control is the perfect choice!

Shape FX with Firm Control One Piece


Big On Bottom

Got junk in the trunk? Then the mini-skirt bikinis are oh so meant for you! Pick on with a skimming skirt that is short and sweet and covers what it needs to!



Plus Size Figure

Plus Size Fashions have come a long way and if you fit into the Full-Figured category then one pieces with lace or mesh inserts. A strategically placed cut-out or a deep V neckline can visually change your image.

A Fashion Icon Remembered

Today, one of Hollywood's Favorite Beauty's passed away and many were saddened! Elizabeth Taylor was a striking beauty to say the least, but she was also a Fashion Icon in her own right! She favored plunging necklines, captivated and audience with the role of Cleopatra, made women Love Diamonds Evenmore, all while possessing a Signature Style like no other! In 1997 she won a Lifetime Glamour Award from the CFDA. Elizabeth Taylor's Grace, Beauty and Style will be missed but definitely remembered! Rest In Peace...


"I adore wearing gems, but not because they are mine. You can't possess radiance, you can only admire it."


"I'm a survivor, I'm a living example of what people can go through and survive."


Elizabeth once said she would like to be remembered for her work and the Fight Against AIDS. To learn how you can help or make a donation you checkout the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation http://www.elizabethtayloraidsfoundation.org/
