Bardot Swimsuit

Ok…this is an ode to island life! I can’t stress enough how much I adore the effortless life on islands in the summer. Who doesn’t after all? For me this is the ultimate vacation. The warm color of the sand…the rich blue of the sea and the sky…and the happy shades of your tan that makes you glow inside out! And most of all, the freedom in clothes! I mentioned it before and I will say it again! In the summer you can get away with wearing very simple and light clothes throughout the day! You can walk around in your swimsuit and your flip flops feeling free and happy

And talking about swimsuits, as if we didn’t have enough swimsuit types already!!! The off- the –shoulder- style (also known as bardot) is apparently one of the hottest trends of the season. I have to admit that I haven’t seen that many women around wearing this style, but it surely caught my eye when I saw it on the fashion sites. I find it so feminine and stylish! It’s just like a cropped top (and you know how much I love cropped tops), only in a shorter version! The good news is that with the right pair of shorts or sarong, you can wear it as a summer top too!

I got mine in black because I love black on tanned skin! Just slide the sleeves off while tanning to avoid the weird tan lines and when you are off the beach, just wrap your sarong and you are ready for you favorite walks around the island…

Good Times and Tan Lines

Hello dolls!

I hope this post finds you on a beach enjoying your vacation while looking at the endless blue of the sea! If you are still working, I’m sure you look forward to that moment when you will be actually doing that. So in the meantime let me take you there mentally and who knows…perhaps to give you some beach look ideas!

As in the last couple of years, one piece swimsuits are still in my agenda for the beach!

As someone (I guess famous) once said: “bikini is the biggest thing since the atom bomb” but hey, one piece swimsuits as just as sexy as two pieces, spread the word!!

Ok, so as I said before they might not be the ideal option for an evenly tanned body but besides the fact that they are a stylish alternative, they offer other comforts as well! Do you feel uncomfortable with your figure but you still want to sit and enjoy the beach without worrying how flat your stomach looks? Or do you feel ready to dive into the waves or play with your dogs or try water sports without the stress of loosing your bikini top?   Then you should definitely go for a one piece swimsuit! Your worries will never “look” more stylish!

And when in doubt….wear red! So go for good times and tan lines!

A shoulder to cry on

Hello loves!

 It’s been some time since my last post and I’ve missed you!

So, you’ve probably noticed that the place is teeming with off-the-shoulder tops! And I’m so happy for that because I absolutely love them! They show just the right amount of skin, plus they give you that laid-back romantic vibe! And since summer is the prime time to show some tanned skin, this is the perfect way to do it!

Today I matched my red cropped off-the-shoulder top with a mustard colored pair of pants (because as you know I love mixing and matching colors)! I also wore my hair differently today. Actually my natural hair is curly so I wore it in a more afro-kind-of style way! In general, our summer hair should be as natural as possible. Living in Cyprus (we might be lucky to have 10 months of sunshine but our summers come with humidity and sky-high temperatures) makes hair styling a little difficult! So go for your natural looks!

My handmade boho purse (which goes with everything!!) completed my outfit for today.

More off-the-shoulder looks coming up soon!
