Take a note from the stylish celebrities above, which include Taylor Swift, Kim Kardashian, Gwen Stefani, Lea Michele, Beyonce, and Emma Stone, who all opt for basic black during a bit of sunbathing. We all know this staple color is likely to flatter any figure—plus, the dark tone is believed to attract the sun’s rays for some bonus tanning points.

We cannot deny the printed floral trend we have right now – it is everywhere from bags, to shoes and dresses (and even home decor). But before you go drinking diet pills (are diet pills safe?) to be able to look good in those tiny printed bikinis, make sure you try black bikinis first – Black is Back!

Summer time means a lot of playtime in beaches and swimming pools. While it is enjoyable to play with water and splash around especially under the summer heat, safety and precaution should always be practiced. Children can be safeguarded by inflatable pool toys or blow up pool toys and even be entertained by swimming pool toys but there are also safety considerations every parent or guardian must know.

- Read labels, they often give appropriate age recommendations, instructions for appropriate use, and warnings of possible injuries.
- Always select toys appropriate for the age, and skill level of the child you are buying for.
- Look for and avoid small parts on toys intended for children who still mouth objects.
- Inspect the construction of the toy. All attached parts should be tightly secured. Seams in inflated toys should be tight. Weighted toys that contain sand or other materials should not leak, and overall construction should be sound and sturdy.
- Check all seals, plugs, and seams for leaks. Also check for holes. A deflating toy may cause suffocation or choking accidents.
- Check for any edges that may have become exposed on hard plastic toys such as diving sticks. Children can easily get cut on rough plastic edges.

Summer is here and before going on that long awaited road trip, make sure you have your car checked for breakdown service and of course, packed your bag with the summer essentials – sunblock lotion, sunglasses, summer dresses and your swimsuits! Now is the best time to take advantage of everything colorful. See how the usual navy stripes got an overhaul and got all these colors – I, for one, am totally digging it!

Stripes are the epitome of pulled-together style. They’re easy to dress up or down and, in that inimitable French way, they inject just the right amount of je ne sais quoi to your outfit.

If only all of has a body like Kim Kardashian or Gisele Bundchen, we would not have a problem preparing our body for bikini season this summer. But not unless some of us (yes, me included) are gifted with genes that give us fast metabolism or good bone structure, it will be hard for us to have gorgeous bikini bodies, especially if we are particularly gifted with a not-so-big chest. However, the one thing I have learned about fashion is that you can make it work for you, and that is why there are called “clothes” – to hide the flaws and enhance your accents!

Of course, having a toned, strong and healthy body is still a big plus, even if you cannot build curves. Get toned fast with prime!

And you can follow these tips if you have a small bust or a bit of belly:

For flat-chested or small-busted women, choosing bikinis with rufflles, feature underwire support and even a little bit of padding can enhance your chest area. They will add volume, define your breast shape and still offer support. No matter how small your breasts are, support can do big things!

For those trying to hide a belly, you may not believe it but ruching (or gathering of fabric) can actually make you slimmer. It will hide bulges like how strategic banding (or color blocking) does.

With the breeze getting warmer and sunshine more visible the time for winter to say its goodbye is almost near and people are now looking forward to welcome the summer season. The season of fun in the sun is probably the favorite of anyone who loves fashion mainly because you get to try on different outfits, show off those curves or go bold by making a fashion statement. No need to wear those layered and bulky clothing as its time to show some skin.

Keeping up with the latest trend in fashion is important especially if you want to make some heads turn. For this summer, the forecast is all about brightly colored shoes that perfectly describes the warm season. Runways were filled of clothes that have too much color and the same thing goes for women’s shoes. While black patent pumps will still remain a top favorite, this will only suit formal events at night. Women are encouraged to be more daring when it comes to styling and don’t be afraid to mix and match their outfits.

Imagine yourself wearing a high heeled platform sandals in orange or yellow, sounds like fun right? That’s exactly what the designers are trying to achieve, a way for women to enjoy their footwear even when outdoors. Of course high heels are not the safest bet if you’re planning to go for a long walk but you can stay with the color block in choosing comfortable flats.

Floral prints will always be a summer staple so if you are gearing up for a fashionable summer, better get those shopping bags ready and hit the mall.

Summer is here, and chances are you have been invited to a ton of pool and BBQ parties at the beach. You are hastily scanning slimvox reviews and wonder if it’s too late to try those to help you lose more weight – BUT, all it takes is a couple of careful planning so you won’t have to reveal too much with your outfit. It is all about highlighting your accents

Look at some summer outfits FabSugar has collated for us! I personally love the maxi dress and the peasant blouses – perfect for those who have something to hide

With all the snowstorms and blizzards hitting us, we have plenty of time to daydream, with no power, heat, water or stove/oven facilities in our houses. So your teenage son might be planning which wrestling singlets would he get once he has the money and you might be planning where to head off once spring or summer rolls in and you can travel. Why not try going to the Mexican Riviera?

Here are some outfits to get you excited, just by planning what to wear!

On the Spring runway, YSL’s flirty dresses and Marc Jacobs’s colorful looks invoked Frida Kahlo’s bold, ethnic style.

While men are busy preparing the electric grill for BBQ parties this summer, we are naturally drawn to planning which outfit we would wear to such parties. Though it’s too late to crunch in some gym time to tone abs and legs, you can always make sure to wear the correct form and type of shorts to accentuate your assets and hide flabs.

Read on:
Big Tummy: Look for shorts that sit slightly below the waist line–they’ll offer more comfort for a big tummy as well as give it room to breath. Avoid high waists and any short that’s too small in the waist—it’ll emphasis the size of your belly. A high waist can make your tummy look like it’s oozing out while a too small waist equals muffin top.

Boyish Frame: If you want to add some curves to a boyish frame, look for shorts that have pleating, ruching, or any gathering of material.

Long Torso: To balance out a long torso, you can either go with a high waist or a shorter length. This can be tricky so proceed with caution and follow the tips for other body types if you have a long torso and a big tummy, etc.

Short Torso: To lengthen a short torso, go for low waist options. Bermuda shorts with a long tunic help to even out your frame.

Thick Thighs: Avoid side pockets, they’ll only make your thighs appear larger. Go for plain front shorts with a wider leg opening.

Petite: Remember that petite is a size not a shape. You’ll still need to follow tips for your body type. But with a petite frame of any shape, add visual length to your frame by wearing your shorts with sandals (flat or heels). Avoid wearing them with sneakers and socks which shortens your frame unless you’re at the gym. The idea is to show as much leg as possible and avoid any horizontal lines below the knee. A horizontal line can be formed by the hem of your shorts, the ankle strap of a shoe, the fold of a sock, etc.

Plus-Size: Just like petite, plus-size is a size not a shape. Plus-sizes cannot be all lumped into one category because not every plus-size body is the same. So follow the tips for your body type. With a plus-size frame of any shape, be sure not to try and hide your frame in over sized clothing–you’ll only appear larger than you actually are. Also don’t be afraid of color.

It’s the second day of June and it has rained – AGAIN. It might be a sure sign that summer is over for us but it won’t stop me from browsing summer outfits – maybe for next year. I got these from here. I should learn how to do this – anybody want to teach me?

I am drawn to floral prints lately and I have found great pieces at Lulu’s – too bad they really aren’t for my built. These are perfect for summer trips. I would need the best diet supplements so I can wear those cute but dainty rompers.

Among the four pieces I like, I have a chance on wearing the kite top (first image from the top) and I love the color combination too!
