Fun in the Sun

Although this picture features a bathing suit clad Karlie Kloss in a snow blizzard, the summertime is almost here! That means, long walks along the boardwalk, ice cream, and lounging on the sandy beaches. While many people are now at the gym with hopes of getting the perfect beach body, the next step is finding the right bathing suit to accentuate your figure.

When shopping for a bathing suit, think about what you like and dislike, including color combinations and cuts. If you have a warm undertone try peaches, corals and reds; if your skin-tone favors more cool undertones veer towards blues, violets and greens. If you want to accentuate the bust area try ruffles; if you want to appear slimmer, try a one piece that has gather in the waist or a belted waist. You can try some of the bathing suits at Urban Outfitters. At the end of the day, it is all about what you feel comfortable in and what makes you look your best, even with salt-water drenched hair.

Ebony Bones!

Personal style defines us, so it's pretty important to find a signature look that works for you. But if you're British singer Ebony Bones! (don't forget the exclamation mark), you take several signature looks, mix them up, wear them all at the same time and frighten small children. To make it in the music industry, you need to stand out- just ask Lady Gaga. This is precisely what Ebony Bones! does, enthralling audiences as much with her crazy clothes as with her schizo music.

After making her first single We Know All About U with beer bottles, woks and pans for percussion, and a single named Don't Fart On My Heart, she's famed over here for her eccentricity and bizarre dress sense. And with a new album due out this year, she's going to be lighting up the press again in the very near future. Forget Cheryl Cole, Ebony Bones is our coolest style icon.

It is a Recession: Vintage & Consignment Shopping

As much as people may love to shop the familiar stores such as J.Crew, H&M, and Zara we can't forget about the local vintage stores. Even better is shopping at local vintage store and still getting paid. To answer the call is the Consignment/Vintage Store Chain Buffalo Exchange.

Located in 14 states across America, Buffalo Exchange is a unique set-up for chic fashionistas on a budget. From low-to-moderate price points, men and women can create chic outfits from head to toe. To make the deal even sweeter you can bring your old clothes and accessories and sell them for cash! Talk about killing two birds with one stone. There are currently three locations in San Francisco. Anyone who says you cannot resell your clothes for money clearly is unaware of this place.

Romp around the Block...

One trend that many will attempt, and possibly fail will be the romper. Great when the ensemble is the right color, size and more importantly the fit. Seen at Derek Lam , Prada and Marc Jacobs for Spring 2010, the romper can come in various colors and patterns. However, the "romper" is not suited for ALL body types, let me repeat that. THE ROMPER IS NOT SUITED FOR ALL BODY TYPES!

The first step to finding your perfect romper is to understand can you achieve the look, i.e. will the ensemble be a compliment to your body shape? The romper is usually not a forgiving silhouette and looks great on hourglass, athletic or long and lean bodies. Next, choose the right color/pattern for your skintone. To tie the look together, add funky accessories such as chunky necklaces and bracelets. Sometimes a delicate necklace will suffice. Last but not least choose a cute sandal or low heel to complete the look. Check out these rompers I found at Urban Outfitters. Enjoy!

Model Monday! Meet Kevin Jakter of Uruguay

On the radar, fresh faced male from Montevideo, Uruguay, confused? Well, he's Polish and signed with Re:Quest Model Management in NY. 6'1 and 18, and none other than a sweet cancer, I must say I'm liking him already. Okay so his pout has a bit to do with it too. ;)

Kevin was discovered when he was 14 while hanging out on the beach with his older brother. A scout came up to him and asked him to stop into their agency. Shortly after that, Kevin found himself in Milan.

Big into sports Kevin loves soccer and water sports, great for keeping his statuesque like physique in check.

Keep an eye out for this one, he's sure to dominate the scene soon enough.

Until next time, kisses -B
