Summer's Here!

Well, the sun is out, and it seems lot's of people are going away on holiday, and others are firing up the barbecues for some fun in the garden. One question we are asked a lot is, 'How can you look good in swim wear?'

We all pretty much hate having snaps taken, especially on holiday when you've got no slap on and your hair's a mess from getting in and out of the pool. Plus the burnt lobster red neck, along with white strap marks never look great! For the men, a beer belly hanging over those Speedos is just plain awful!

So what can we do? Well, for the girls, it's a little bit easier for you. For kicking back on the sand a bright kaftan will see you through to sunset in style! A large trendy pair of 'Jackie-o' sunglasses and a pink cowboy hat, will help you hide the fact you've no makeup on! However, a lash and brow tint before you go away, also works wonders.

It's a bit harder for the boys, but certainly a bright flowery patterned pair of swimshorts are a lot more flattering than a tight pair of Speedos! (eugh!) Again, a good pair of sunglasses may help, and you can try putting a rolled up towel around your neck to hide your 'moobs'!!

Worst case scenario, if you can't manage any of the above, then jump in the pool and just stick your head out for the photo!

The new 'it' bag, which is becoming the biggest craze since the Chloé Paddington, is the YSL Downtown.

You know, bags aren't just for women. It's becoming very popular for men to carry bags now. Not just for the laptop, but messenger style bags, or more commonly known as simply 'Manbags'. A great example is the 'Antony' from Mulberry, available in light and dark brown and also in black.
