Most of us are counting down to days on the beach or at least days so balmy that we are often showing more flesh than fabric. When we have days not weeks or months to trim down we have to manage our expectations and focus on accentuating the good stuff and providing some light coverage for everything else.
This month is the last chance to get the fat busting, collagen boosting Gorgeous Treat of the summer that will boost your diet and exercise efforts. My Lust of the Month is the most dramatic, luxurious mascara I’ve ever used and this month’s Gorgeous Girl has a voice that is the sound of true beauty.
There is no longer time to drop 4 inches from your waist and 2 inches from your hips, there is time to flatten your stomach and lift your butt with the breed of swim wear created to not only flatter but form your body. My favourite is Victoria Secret's Magic Suit Tankini, a sexy little number that uses a plunging neckline and clever draping to balance the uber controlling structure of the suit that suits.
If the idea of any kind of suit fills you with dread then choose a gorgeous cover up and take your chic to the beach. I think that Lotta Stennson makes some of the best around in printed silk in exotic hues that look and feel gorgeous.
Flip-flops are perfect for the beach but as soon as you step away from the sand – step up to a glamorous pair of Rattan sandals by Bali Soles. This brand new line embodies the spirit of Indonesia and the glamour of Hollywood. With real Turquoise, Coral and Swarovski crystals these soles are so good for you soul!
I don’t see why sand should stop fashion but when it comes to beauty and the beach, bare’ish is best. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have some cover and I’m loving the new SPF from Super by Dr Prerricone Loaded with tumeric, this is a natural SPF that provides a hint of translucent colour and a some subtle shimmer because being safe needn't be dull!
