All - In - One Cossies
1. Tummy Tuck - This yellow one peice has a ruching designs that will help hide any lumps and bumps.
2. Hip Hider - Balance out a pear shape with a darker shade on your bottom half and a lighter colour on top.
3. Instant hourglass - The frills will help to define your silhouette.
4. Look Long & Lean - High-cut legs enlongate your legs.
5. Disguise A Muffin-Top - The intricate panel draws the eye to the waist and the bottom smoothes hips to banish bulge.
6. Bum Shrinker - Cute skirts are the fast-track way to flatter a big bum.
7. Bust Up - Cut out and bandeau cossies look great on petite girls, but go for a style with subtle padding to give your boobs a boost. The skinny halter straps will keep the top in place.
8. Shoulder Saviour - The thickness of these straps means they break up and soften an athletic body.
9. Boob Hugger - Underwiring is a must for busty girls.
10. Body Buffer - For ultimate figure flattery. The angle of the stripes will streamline your body and the padded bust offers a supportive lift.
Extra Tips:
. Choose fabric with lycra in it, so your swimsuit keeps its shape.
. If you choose a swimming costume that is pale, ensure the cossie is lined to avoid it going see through.
. Don't be disheartened if you need to go a dress size bigger - its better than having bulges!

Smart Shopper
Here are some shopping tips I have put together.
- Shop with across the body bag - This leaves your hands free which will make searching through the rails so much easier.
- Become A Fan - Follow your favourite stores online via facebook or twitter and sign up for email updates. This keeps you in the know of any sales or special offers first.
- Tuesday Is Shopping Day - Hit the stores on a Tuesday. This is when most highstreet shops are re-stocked after the busy weekends.
- Mens - Check out the mens department, some of my comfiest oversized jumpers are menswear.
- Nude Undies - Wear nude underwear so you can try on any cut or style without any striking bra straps or knickers spoiling the look.

Change your wedges to flip flops for an easy daytime outfit, great for the beach or having a stroll around town. When hitting the bar, change into your wedges, instant transformation.
Add a maxi skirts to your swimsuit if you have got things to do before going to the poolside for a glam look.
This look is a more subtle approach to the aztec trend and a great holiday look, effortless chic.

The Nail File: Pampered Hands
The key to beautiful nails lies in constant care. Under the nails should be spotless and your halfmoons well cared for; Cuticles should be pushed back and the tinyest imperfection taken care of immediately. Daily use of the right nourishing cream according to your skin type will really help.

Necklace pile-up
Layering your necklaces to create a new and effective look and style.
1. Choose A Theme: Whether its tribal glam or classic stones and jewels. Start by picturing what your going for, so you can select items accordingly. Find your inspiration in celebs, highstreet trends and the catwalks - whatever takes your fancy!
2. Pick Your Necklace: Play around with different combinations until you acheive the right look. Bear in mind lenght and shape, so you create a tierd effect with necklaces that sits at different heights on your neckline. A little over lapping is ok though.
3. Pile Them Up: Whether you layer the necklaces over your favourite frocks and tops or let them stand out on a bare decolletage, just make sure the ones nearest to your face are the most eye catching. Avoid ant heavy ear rings that might detract from the finished effect.
Want To Perk Up Your Necklace Stash??
Head to Sale Rails
Bargain buys that seem boring solo that can look showstopping once they piled up.
D.I.Y Necklace
A really simple way to become creative. Find an old necklace that you are bored of and all you do is paint over using nail varnish. So easy!!!
Neon and Pastels are my faves for necklace transformations.

2. Look for styles with a cartoon design.
3. Polka dots, Hearts, Stars and lightening bolts are perfect.
4. Try teaming quirky jewellery with bold prints.
Have Fun With It!!!
