It's the beach season, are you swimsuit ready?

Looking fabulous has never been so easy with an array of gorgeous swimsuits to suit every shape. If you are planning to beach this summer as I am, there will be a perfect swimsuit available.

The world of color in reference to swimsuits has come back with a vengence and those who know me know I love color. Fuchsia, purple and emerald green and jewel tones have proven to be big for summer as well as hues of blue.

Shapes for this season are varied with a move toward the 'anything goes' mentality. While bikinis are still most popular, although monokinis continue to be popular with the "young folks" or those who think they're young! One piece swimsuits are continuing to make a comeback across all ages and are now seen as stylish and elegant rather than dowdy and uninteresting. Finally people are giving one peices the credit they deserve!

Tankinis are always big sellers due to the fact they offer the wearer flexibility in being able to cover or expose their stomach area.

Those searching for a briefer look are turning towards bikinis with tie sides and bandeau tops.

Frills have been a huge trend on the runway this season, a look that has spilled over to clothing. The great advantage of frills on swimsuits in that it adds volume to areas that might need it, perfect for women with small busts or those looking to add a little size to their booty.

Other embellishments to look out for are metallic rings in various shapes and a smattering of beads or sequins in some collections.

For those not wanting their swimsuits in basic block colors there are quite a few prints around this season. Animal prints continue to be big popular especially zebra & leopard prints, worn by those who can and don't mind standing out in a crowd.

Don't forget your beaching accessories, must haves including shades, a cover up, a dress, sandals etc. All that will ensure you enjoy your beaching season with confidence! This way everyone will think you are the most fashionable person on the beach.

Happy beaching!

We're back. . . . . . . . .

We know it's been too long since you've last heard from us and as you can see we've changed our format! Instead of sending out a newsletter we've decided on blogging....the exciting thing about blogging is that we can share more information and tips with you more often. so as the holiday season is fast approaching we figured what better way to get started than talking about the most exciting time of the year? the holiday season!

As the time changes and the air gets cooler, we begin to feel the excitement of the holiday season which means party's, banquets and balls! Holiday events raise a few questions, color? style? accessories?

Okay so let's help a few folks out (especially those who are fashion challenged)

Now you know we've always been a fan of the "LBD" also known as the little black dress but everywhere you look there is hot pink! can you believe it? for fall?..... HOT PINK? yup, neon colors have made a comeback from the era of the 80's! go figure! Great if you are confident and daring....with a pair of big, bold earrings or a multistrand necklace.

For those who are looking for a more subdued color variation of the "LBD," this season how about trying a "LPD" YUP, you guessed it PURPLE! It is hot this season and is looking more and more fabulous! the darker the fabric, the richer it looks....purple goes great with gold jewelry as they are both are warm color tones....try something simple in gold, a wonderful complement.

We must also recognize the times are changing, and all of these "little dresses" (whether black or purple) are changing with them. We can now see lots of shapes, sleek cutouts and body-hugging silhouettes that bring a very next-century feel, this would be fine for the fashion forward individual....For those who are wondering if i'm crazy, cutouts? body hugging silhouettes? Okay okay we hear you, so how about something classy, sophisticated yet feminine, something that accentuates the waistline, Will that work for you? Get in touch with your sensual side...step out of the box a little.

For the party girl looking for something versatile? How about a strapless dress with fun kicky ruffles? This would be fabulous and its complete with a neckline that is totally accessory ready....the perfect piece of jewelry would be a bold multistrand necklace and/or bracelet or a fussy pair of earrings....

Remember when people wore dresses with one shoulder? well.....they're back! One shoulder dresses have made a massive comeback and will work beautifully for the holiday season seeing that no snow is forecasted for the Bahamas anytime soon. This chic design can be great on many body type and can make one appear taller.

Ruffles, ruffles and more ruffles, here's another trend that is hot and has made a full fashion circle. Ruffles are fabulous but we must say may not be for everyone.....most outfits that have ruffles don't even need much jewelry to accompany it, just a small pair of earrings.

So no matter what the color or the style of the dress, what really matters is your choice of accessories, use much thought when choosing them. Maybe this is the time for you to step out of your comfort zone and wear something you never thought you would....why not? you never know! It may work in your favour.....whatever your style, be who you wanna be!
