Sweater in the Summer

You probably have this cute bandeau top that you bought at the mall but your parents won't let you wear it because they think it looks like a bath suit blah, blah, blah. How about investing in a sweater. your probably thinking " A sweater...in the summer?!? ", yes a sweater. I know you have some from Christmas but not that type of sweater. This  summer sport a mesh sweater, with a cute bandeau, preferably a printed one, with bold colored pants. I know that Forever 21 is selling them, get them while they are still here!

Top Knotch

My new favorite hairstyle is a top knot. It's a simple and cute hairstyle. Alot of people have been asking me how do you do a top knot, so I'm assuming a lot more people don't no how.

What I do is, gather all my hair to make a high pony tail. Then, I twist my hair and tuck it underneath the elastic band. When I have loose hairs I just let them be free for a messy look.

Boho Chic @ The Beach

These looks will inspire your chic style, get inspired. Celeb pictures from http://www.seventeen.com/

This look is inspired by Vanessa Hudgens. My god sister and I were one day wining about " I wish I had your cup size! ". Why?! Because I envy the girl who can find into triangle bathing suit and she wants more to fill in a scrap less bandeau. lol!

My Boho Chic Rebel beach swimwear would be between a metallic gray or black; these are both chic and rebel. I would get an oversized graphic tee, preferably from a thrift store, and crop it.

This look is inspired by Sarah Hyland. I simply adore monokinis. They flatter the body without being overly sexy, making it more age appropriate for teens. If your one of those teens that have those parents who don't approve of two-pieces, this would be an excellent choice.

My Boho Chic Safari beach swimwear would be the swim suit and some sunglasses, that's it. Animal print stands out by itself.

This look is inspired by Audrina Patridge. I love love love bandeau tops. I am in love with this look because it's bold and bright, it's neon, and it's color block.

My Boho Chic Neon beach swimwear does look similar to this. Except my top is purple and I have pink boy shorts. If you enjoy being in the spot light, this mix matched bathing suit is guaranteed a couple of stares.

Bandeau's don't have to be worn when going to the beach. This top looks great with a cropped race back tank and distressed jeans, sported with a button down knotted shirt and colored denim shorts, or maybe your feeling fierce enough to style it alone with maxi skirt. Whatever suits you.

Forever 21-Knotted Floral Bandeau $9.90  http://www.forever21.com/

Bright and bold are " in " this season. This will go with ANYTHING. Pair it with a grapic tee, a floral print button down knotted shirt, or colored block it.

Hollister-Old Town $39.50 http://www.hollisterco.com/

Graphic tees are one of those thing that probably don't go out of style. This shirt is vintage and retro. This shirt would go perfect with colored denim shorts or acid wash distressed jeans. I personally would cut the swoop around the neck a little more so it'll hang off the shoulder and pair it with teal colored denim shorts.

Hey love. It's HOT! ( Captain Obvious ), the sun is up, your going to head to the pool with your girl friends. Next thing you know your skin is redder than a steamed crab, OUCH ! I know that feeling; yes, I am a mixed African American, with dark brown skin that gets sun burnt ( look below for my skin color ). There are ALOT of people that didnt know that some black people get sun burns.

   I had a friend sunbathe at home near her pool before she went on a spring break trip and she fell asleep, yep she was a steamed crab. I almost cried for her. Another one of my friends helped me with this post and gave me some tips to share with you, so SHOUTS OUT to ( insert name ), you know who you are. We did a mini interview, how fun?!

How do you prep for your tan?
I do everything a week before the tanning. My monthly nail appointment, my bikini wax, but I shave a day or two before going.

Tell me about your weekly prepping.
I exfoliate and mosizturizer until the day of, shave, wax, and get my mani/pedi.

What do you do the day of the tanning?
I make sure I do one more exfoliation but dont apply the mositurizer or any beauty products.

Which do you prefer a real tan or a spray tan?
I prefer spray tans because they're more safe but it stains clothes and doesnt last every long.

What type of tan do you go for?
I go for a sun kissed look, it's tint to my natural skin color.

What do you wear when you go spray tanning?
I wear flip flops, loose sweats, and a loose shirt.

How do you prevent fading?
I use tan extenders like Sundara's Watermelon Tan. Extender

What are some important tips you have?
Buy tan extender, dont shower for at least 8 hours, after showering moisturize, wear loose clothes you dont really care about, remeber sunscreen

Chart dois ( two ) show my skin type, my general color, my pigment, and how sunburnt my skin gets. If you would like to know yours copy and paste these two reference websites to your search boxes.

Hey love. So, I have a thick friend. She isnt fat but she isnt skinny either. She's a pear shape; she isnt busty but her butt is a little blessed. Anyway, she wants to lose weight to look smoking hot in a bathing suit. ( If your a pear shape and you plan on losing weight... STOP! ) I can see if she wants to tone, I mean that's what I'm doing. First off, everyone is a different body shape; I believe I'm an apple shape, I gain most of my weight in my stomach first ( That's why I wont gain weight ). My friend is a pear shape; she gains weight in her butt and thighs first. My second thought is, does it really matter what you look like in a bathing suit, people better be happy you didnt show up naked. Plus, not everyone will look sexy or hot in a bikini, I dont and I'm slender. Dont worry about what others think or say, as long as you know your looking beautiful with your beach curls, fresh tan, and nails done ( You go girl, with your bad self!  ). Confidence is key. Love ya!
