Looking for the Perfect Swimsuit
I know that when picking swimsuits, "fit" is the first and foremost thing that we consider. It should be flattering, not flattening and it should really complement our body type no matter what figure we have. Next, the design. Colors and patterns even the little details should always make it stand out.
Even if summer is almost halfway over, I wanna share to you some tips when looking for that perfect swimsuit.
If your bottom is bigger than your upper body...
Look for: a tankini because it will add length to your lower body.

You know what? Cassie Ho is right. I really can't understand why swimsuits are so freakin' expensive. With so little fabric, you have to spend so much. Tsk! Plus, you get to wear it only every summer or let's say, just for your beach trips. Oh well!
If you have the perfect figure, consider yourself lucky! You will look good in any bikini style! For us, normal human-beings... let's make use of the tips above. *wink
In the end, choosing the right swimsuit is all about confidence. As long as your comfortable and you feel sexy then, go for it. Just don't forget to shop for cover-ups too and of course, those other beach must-haves.
Hope this post helps. Feel free to add more tips on the comment box below. I can't wait to land my feet on Boracay's fine, white sand! Fast forward to June please!
Good luck!
your sweetest drug,
