It was a hot one today.  We asked for it, and we received temperatures in the upper eighties.  The day was perfect for the beach; unfortunately many of us were far away from the beach.  Am I the only one looking forward to the weekend?  Sure it’s only Monday, but it’s good to get an early start.  I’ll have to stick close to home, but it doesn’t mean I won’t be dreaming of being elsewhere.  Hopefully swimsuits will be the uniform of choice, and the Ralph Lauren red bikini is a good one.

Summer Swimsuit Trends

We’ll all be headed to the beach this summer and will want to be on trend.  The swimsuit trend this season includes ruffles, bright colors and gold rings.  It works for me.  The ruffle detail on a bikini top will even provide a little enhancement in the bust area.  If that’s the case, let’s make ruffles on trend each swimsuit season, all in favor?  Having swimsuits in all the colors of the rainbow is also appealing; it spells the end of winter and all the dreary colors and emotions that accompany it. Bright colors say that you are confident and have no intention of blending in with the background.  As far as the gold rings attached to a swimsuit, that’s just jewelry for the beach. Lisa Curran provides us with the swimsuit trends, check out the video.  Now that we’ve got the swimsuit taken care of, all we need is a beach, sunglasses and a good book.  Oh, let’s remember the sunscreen, healthy is also sexy.

Think Warm Thoughts

New York City has been hit with nearly 9 inches of snow and 22 degree weather in the month of March.  It’s time for a getaway.  Let us think warm thoughts.

Imagine yourself on a beach with white sand and blue-green water.  The sand caresses your toes with each step.  The heat from the sun is so intense.  Do you need help applying your sunscreen?  Hold on.  I’m back, had to get my sunglasses.  The glare from the sun is blinding as well. 

Your only care is whether you’ll have dinner at the resort or venture into town to have dinner with the locals.  Remember to stop by the boutique to pick up your bikini.  That’s the uniform of choice here in paradise.

Meet you for lunch in ten minutes.  Is that your phone ringing?  If reality calls, I’m not in.

‘Tis The Season

Ladies, it’s that time of year again.  No, not tax season, it’s swimsuit season.  Okay the season is not quite here yet, but it is slowly approaching.  For some this is welcomed news.  For the rest of us it is as exciting as going to the dentist, but it does not have to be that way. 

It is a New Year, new attitude.  It’s out with the old, ill-fitting suits, negative self-images, and boyfriends that no longer fit nor encourage a healthy self-image.  Let’s do away with all the anxiety of getting into a swimsuit and focus more on finding the right fit for our bodies.

Why don’t we use this time to love and appreciate ourselves rather than torture ourselves?  We should do the things that improve our self-esteem, which would include a healthy lifestyle.  When you feel good, you look good. 

Just picture you throwing off those winter jackets and donning a sexy bikini or one piece.  The swimsuits for summer 2009 are just what the doctor ordered to rid us of our winter blues.  Ralph Lauren’s Blue Label swimsuits come in great colors like red, white, and the yellow is especially hot this summer. 

Seize the day.  Do not be intimidated by your mirror, stop looking at your ‘rear’ view and look ahead.
