Swimsuit Magic
Mint Main - 3 years ago - Kathryn Lovell
“One man’s magic is another man’s engineering.”
Robert A. Heinlein, 1907 – 1988
| It’s the simple card trick that mystifies you every time. The car that disappears right before your eyes on stage. And the rabbit pulled out of the empty hat. Welcome to the world of sleight of hand. As any magician worth her wand will tell you, if you direct attention to where you want it, no one will notice what else is going on. Fashion works the same the way. Decide which feature you want to be the focus and the rest will disappear. Go ahead- practice a little magic while selecting your swimsuit this season.
|
Top Shelf  If you’ve got great cleavage and shoulders, flaunt them. A halter top offers coverage and stability while showing off your assets. Make sure the suit doesn’t creep up when you lift your arms- you don’t want to spend the day repositioning yourself.
|
Waisted  Look for a suit with waist detailing, like embroidery, a belt, ruching, etc. to accentuate a well defined waist. If you choose a tankini style, the top should skim your body. Too tight tankinis cause stomach bulges in even the slimmest of figures.
|
Leg Up  Whether you’re strutting your stuff, or taking it in stride, a leg opening that runs about an inch below your hip bone will be the most flattering (and comfortable) for your legs and hips. Use your body as the guide, not the suit description. |

Straw Bags
Mint Main - 3 years ago - Kathryn Lovell
“I’ll be wearing a space suit, and a cowboy hat would not be a wise fashion accessory.”
Brian Walker
| Rattan, wicker or straw…Call it whatever you want, but be certain to carry it this spring. For those of us who summer in the same place we winter, it’s a great way to bring a bit of vacation into our daily routines. And those of you with seasonal homes should buy several since you have the closet space to store them.
|
Clutch  Wishing you were some place tropical and stylish? Add a dash of Palm Beach to your wardrobe with a straw clutch.
|
Tote  Whether you’re spending a day at the beach or daydreaming about it at the office, a straw tote is perfect for carrying sunblock or files.
|
Organize  We all know that beauty is only skin deep and it’s what’s on the inside that counts. So keep the contents of your purse corralled and spill-proof with darling make up bags. |
