Holiday Dilemmas: What to Wear on the Beach

Source of the photo: From Google

Planning a beach holiday should be an exciting experience. You’re finally getting away from it all. You can completely relax and finally get that fantastic tan you’ve been dreaming of all winter long. However, for many women, a beach holiday can also be really stressful.

After all, you’re planning on showing off your body to potentially hundreds of people. Unless you are 100% confident with your body, for many this can be really distressing! But have no fear; there are quite a few things you can wear that’ll help boost your confidence on the beach. By following a few simple tips, you’ll be able to get that well-deserved relaxation without stressing out about your body.

Problem solving swimwear

You don’t have to wear a bikini on the beach to look good. Today’s swimsuits can look really stylish and help hide any insecurities you may have about your tummy, thighs and bum. There are even specially designed swimsuits which hold parts of your body in, creating a flawless silhouette. For a modern style swimsuit, opt for one which has a halter neck design.

Well-fitted bikini tops

If you plan on wearing a bikini, make sure it fits well. Ideally, you should get yourself measured before you buy a bikini. Many women don’t even realise they are wearing the wrong size bras and swimwear! By getting measured you’ll be able to choose a bikini that fits comfortably and will provide you with plenty of support throughout the holiday. Resort is one of the brands selling well fitting bikinis for all ages, available at Isme.com.

Dress for your body shape

Do you know which swimwear looks better on your body shape? Do you even know what your body shape is? Over the past few years, there has been a lot of focus on dressing to suit women’s various shapes and sizes. Different types of swimwear look better on different shapes. For instance, ruched swimwear can help hide problem waists and is great for pear shapes.

Highlight your best features

To draw attention away from the parts of your body you don’t like, wear bright colours that highlight your best assets. Stripy swimwear can help create a slimmer figure and it is also really eye-catching and fashionable.

Avoid a washed-out look

When you have pale skin, it’s important to choose the right coloured beach wear. Depending on your skin tone, some will make you look washed out. Pale skin tones typically look best with black or deep purple swimwear, whereas lighter and brighter colours are recommended for those with a darker skin tone.

ZALORA LAUNCHES ANDROID SHOPPING APP

South-East Asia’s fashion and beauty e-commerce leader invests further into m-commerce

Philippines, 18th July 2013 – ZALORA, South-East Asia’s fastest-growing fashion and beauty e-tailer, today announced the further expansion of its mobile repertoire with the launch of its Android shopping app across the region (http://www.zalora.com.ph/mobile-apps/). The app launch follows the successful launch of the ZALORA iPhone shopping app three months ago, which within 24 hours, became the #1 lifestyle app in the iTunes stores of all ZALORA countries, and the #1 overall app in Singapore, Malaysia and Vietnam.

The Android app enables on-the-go shoppers to seamlessly navigate over 500 brands and 15,000 products across the apparel, shoes, accessories and beauty categories, making ZALORA’s convenience-centric offerings finally available to Android users too. The ZALORA Android app enables shoppers to:

- Receive push notifications on new arrivals and flash sales so that they are always in the know

- Easily browse for a quick overview of product information, images, ratings and reviews

- Add items to cart and infinitely save them for later (*as long as the app is kept active)

- Pick from multiple payment methods – Credit Card, PayPal, Cash-On-Delivery

In addition to these shopping features, the ZALORA Android app also provides a richer mobile shopping experience – It uses the built-in capabilities of the Android OS to create engaging native animations such as with the ‘add-to-cart’ action. The app also manages to cater to all ZALORA markets despite each e-store’s localized ZALORA product collections, by routing shoppers to the fashion and beauty catalog for their respective locations (see below for a view of Android App visuals).

Further to this mobile development, ZALORA will also be launching a redesign of its mobile site in August. The redesign will feature a more visual navigation route, with a style focus that is optimized for marketing and customer relationship management (CRM). The new and improved site will also feature additional filters, a clear multi-step checkout, and social sharing (see below for a view of preliminary visuals).

“Our developments in the m-commerce sphere earlier this year have proven to be the right move for us – Now almost 25% of our revenue across the region comes from mobile”, says Michele Ferrario, Regional Managing Director, ZALORA South-East Asia. “Investing in our software development team has paid off, as their hard work has yielded successful mobile developments for ZALORA even within a region that has a promising but still nascent m-commerce sector.”

ZALORA will be providing at 20% discount to all those that download the Android App from July 18 to 19, the two first days of the launch. ZALORA will also be giving away a CLOUDFONE Thrill 450q for one lucky customer who downloads the app.

Per DTI-NCR, Permit No. 7678, Series of 2013.

In lazada, review

Review: Urbanears Bagis (Coral) from Lazada.com

I have been itching to buy a new headphones. I kept on searching and searching the internet, where the heck I could buy a good pair of headphones. It took me a while before I made my final decision because there were a lot of choices especially if you will search it on Lazada.com. Yes, it took me days to decide. You know girls; they keep on changing their minds a.k.a fickle minded.

It was head to head with Philips and Urbanears but I have decided to choose Urbanears. For the reason, it is more stylish and it has a good sound quality. I like the color too. CORAL it is a little bit peachy and pinkish. Hehe Anyways, I bought it thru Lazada.com. After I ordered it online, I think the next thing I knew it was in front of my door already. How fast and convenient, right?

How delightful I was when I saw this when I arrived home.

To know more about Urbanears, here’s a short clip:

Unboxing Urbanears Bagis Coral. Check out the box, extraordinary!

It is so cute! Look at the color. hehehe

The box contains the in-ears headphones, ear sleeves with different sizes, stickers, warranty and a booklet with informations about Urbanears.

Ear sleeves with different sizes. This was one of the reasons why I bought an Urbanears in-ears headphones, they have different sizes for different ears. Unlike the other in-ears headphone they have a default sleeve. I have a small ears. Therefore, I am so happy they have the small sleeves. Yey! Good job!

For the sound quality, I will give them 9 out of 10. Very clear and it erases noise from the reality. Yes, so true. It feels like you are in your own world once you have them on. It is designed for iphones, blackberry, and htc. It also has a mic so you can use it for phone calls or voice recording. It is so stylish I am loving every minute and every second I am using it.

I also want to share with you a PHP 300 Discount Voucher code: LZDbrDgr for A MINIMUM WORTH of P3000 PURCHASE for Lazada.com. Enjoy your online shopping.
