Bikini Haul & How To Find the Right Swimsuit for Your Body Type!

Hello girls!

In my new video, I'm showing you my newest bikinis :)
This season I'm in love with H&M's swimsuit collection!
They are all so pretty & inexpensive!
I couldn't resist so I bought quite a few, but if I could, I would buy the entire collection, no doubt about it :)

I couldn't resist this colourful swimsuit, the neon yellow is
very trendy this season & I love the floral print!

This season, H&M is the right place for swimsuit shopping, they have got a huge selection of pretty swimsuits, very affordable price wise and you can buy tops and bottoms separately, which means that you can mix & match, the colours, the fantasies and the sizes too!
If you're bigger on the top and smaller at the bottom, or the other way around, you still won't have any problems in choosing the right bikini for you!

And here are some tips in choosing the right bikini, based on your body type:
(For the first part of my tips go HERE )

NO WAIST

- If you don't have many curves, create some by wearing one- piece suit with a high- on - the - thigh cut.
- Bikinis are good for you. Add some illusion at the hips with rings, ruffles & bows.
- Avoid solid- coloured or horizontal striped one- pieces.

WIDE SHOULDERS

- Wear bikini bottoms that have lots of color and print. The new, moderate cut bottom was made for you!
-Wear wide shoulder straps and square necklines.
- Avoid the "V" silhouette.

PLUS SIZE FIGURE

- Look for one- piece swimsuits with lace or mesh inserts.
- A strategically placed cut- out , or a deep "V" neckline.
- Lengthen your thigh with an adjustable ruching detail at the hip.
- Wear a sheer sarong.
- Dark, cool colors.
- Avoid too much fabric, stay away from white, as well as bright, neon fabrics.

TOO MUCH TUMMY?

- Try one of those fabulous tummy , control panel, swimsuits.
They work wonders!
- Two piece swimsuit: Tankinis.
- A one- piece with some draping around the waist or hips.
- Avoid itsy bitsy bikinis and solid- coloured, one- pieces.

Stay tuned for more advices in one of my upcoming blog posts/beauty "Summer Edition" videos...

Gypsy Chic For a Day & Share The Love

Hello!

I was working on my blog today!
I hope you like the "pages" element that I added to it.
I believe it makes it a bit more organized, and I'm pleased with the results :)
I have to thank my friend Roanna, from the LA VALIGIA DI ROANNA blog, who helped me out and explained to me how to add this pages to my blog!
I was so confused, lol, I added the "Home Page" and got stucked there, didn't know what the heck am I supposed to do to add other pages...
So thank you Roanna for clearing this thing up for me!
Please visit her blog & show some support by following her.
Her blog is genuine, real and very interesting.
She writes it in english and in italian language.

Moving on to the next subject, which is my Outfit of the day...
I'm off work this weekend and so far I'm truly enjoying this warm & sunny weather!
I wore my maxi dress from H&M for the first time this year!
Maxi dresses are very IN right now, but this is the first maxi dress that I own.
It's long, simple and black, and when my hubby saw me putting it on (without any accessories or anything, but  just the black dress) he asked me: "Oh, are we dressing up as a Nun today?" 
LOL Gotta love his sense of humour!
Of course I had it mind to accessorize it BIG TIME!
I was going for a gypsy chic/ boho look...

here are the pics ;)







I'm loving my new, snake print sandals!


Fishtail always saves me on a bad hair day!
;)



BLACK MAXI DRESS: H&M
LOOSE WHITE T-SHIRT: H&M (L.O.G.G.)
WIDE BRAIDED BELT: H&M
SANDALS: LICEAN
BAG: SISLEY
ALL THE JEWELLERY (RING, NECKLACE, BRACELET) IS FROM H&M

I wore this outfit for a walk around the centre of the town & visiting some shops in the afternoon hours.

Have a great Saturday!
xx
Sonja
