TARTAN me forever

Tartan is back! Once again, Tartan is one of this coming season hot fabric! For those who don't know how to cope with it and the ones in need for inspiration here are my advices:
1- do not take Tartan too seriously if you don t want to look like a granny, (with all my respect..) meaning do not wear it in a too classic way.
2- mix and match: Jeans like Tartan but animal or army prints work good as well! And why not even floral prints?!
3- do use Tartan accessories. It will add personality to any casual or sober outfit.
4- last but not least: Tartan is a fabric for all occasions! Here in pictures!

The swimsuit 2013

Summer, summer: here we are!! And who says summer says...."farniente", beach and swimsuits! And when it comes to choose your swimsuit there is something you must pay attention to: your body-shape.

Like I did in a post one year ago, here are some tips for you to pick the appropriate one among this season collections.

 

Hourglass

Your build is characterized by:

• a defined bust
• a defined waist
• a neat bottom
• neat hips

My recommendation: you can wear any styles as long as your proportions are good

Wildfox-Asos

 

River Island- Asos

 

 

Triangle

Your build is characterized by:

• full hips or thighs
• a defined waist
• shoulders narrower than your hips

My recommendation: keep detailing above the waist

The inverted Triangle figure

• straight and square shoulder line
• little definition between waist/hips
• flat hips and bottom
• a bottom half that seems smaller than your top half

My recommendation: keep minimum detail on your shoulder line, details on hips work well

 

Adele Mouille- Asos

Rectangle

• straight shoulders line
• straight hips and bottom
• very little waist definition
• straight ribcage

My recommendation: choose a swim-suit that accentuate your waist with details or geometric effects

Round

• rounded shoulder line
• curved back
• fullness around the middle
• flattish bottom

 

 

My recommendation: simple line, if details above the bust line, vet top or tankini that covers the middle
