Summer! And that means that after a hard working year, we can relax at last and have fun on the beach. But what if you can’t escape from the hustle and bustle of the city even in summer and have to spend most of the time in a stuffy office?

Anyway, it is not the reason for depriving yourself of swimming. It is a swimming season, after all! So, let’s try to spend as much time in the water as possible. Swimming is one of the most popular activities today, it’s good for your health and muscles, besides it is great fun.

And even if you stay in the city for this summer you can do swimming from time to time. First, you can leave the city at the weekends and have a good time on the nearest beach, or even easier – you can go to the local swimming pool.

But in this case you should take some precautions, because sometimes it can be dangerous. Although it has been taken some measures to improve the quality of water, still in the last years the number of outbreaks of illness associated with swimming has increased.

We should remember that swimming will not cause us any problems if we behave themselves properly in the water. The risk of catching a illness will decrease if we will follow some general rules that are known to everyone.

First, practice good hygiene – do not forget to take a show and wash your body before and after swimming.

Then, do not swallow the water and avoid getting water in your mouth.

And surely if you have any kind of catching illness, avoid swimming in public places, because you can spread germs and make other people sick.

Beach season is at its height and shapely celebrities show off their perfect bodies in extravagant swimwear. It seems that retro-style beachwear of fifties is back. Sienna Miller was noticed wearing this type of swimming costume designed by Stella McCartney. The only thing missing in her scantily-clad look was voluptuous silhouette of a pin-up girl.

In ‘50s beachwear looked a bit different from what it is today – it was much more modest and covered a good deal of body if compared with modern mini bikinis. Retro-style swimsuits are designed to hide some drawbacks of voluptuous silhouette and at the same time to attract attention to the beauty of women’s curves. 

So if you want to create a look of a pin-up girl of ‘50s, first of all forget about those skimpy thongs and G-strings – Marilyn Monroe wore bikinis with the bottom high enough to cover the navel. Retro swimwear covers most of the thigh and often comes with very wide straps. But if you can’t spoil your perfect tan with ugly strap-marks, you can go for a popular bandeau swimsuit, though this style will suit better women with small breasts who don’t need extra support from the straps.

Halter style is anther secret of 50s’ sexy forms. It is a universal cut that looks perfectly on women both with large bust and those with not much up top. The halter-neck provides great support and creates sexy cleavage, besides it can be padded adding an extra size.

In some places it is preferable to remain “beach ready” at all times and an advantage of wearing beachwear is its transformability. Skirt-panels and short styles of the bottom are extremely convenient for those who prefer not to change each time when they leave a beach. 

And when choosing your retro-style beachwear, don’t forget about embellishment. Funny details as draping and ruching across stomach and hips will add glamour to your swimwear, while bold prints and unusual patterns will create a funky look and camouflage figure faults. Polka-dot and stripes are extremely popular this season as well as bright colors. If you are romantic and young at heart don’t miss cute details such as frills, flounces or fringeing around the hip that will distract attention from the thigh area.

Milavitsa presents a rich collection of trendy swimwear that combines the elegance of the ‘50s and the glamour of present days. Find a diversity of styles and colors at Milavitsa online lingerie store.

It goes without saying that a perfectly fitted bra gives you maximum comfort and helps you look stylish best. But how to find what you really need when you have to choose between so many sizes, shapes and colors? Good news,ladies! Here are some quick tips to help you in your quest:

First thing you need to do is measure yourself with your bra on tightly
around the top of the rib cage just beneath the bust. If it’s an odd number
of inches, add 5 to find your bra size; if it’s even, add 4 (so if you measure
31, your bra size is 36).

To figure out your cup size, measure around yourself again, but this time
place the tape measure loosely over the fullest part of the breast. Subtract
the first measurement from the second. A 1-inch difference is an A cup; 2-inch
difference = B cup; 3 = C; 4 = D; 5 = DD; and 6 = DDD or E.

Cups should hug your breasts and be full while hugging the outer edges
of the breast. If your breasts spill out from the sides or over the top of
the cups, you may need a larger cup size or a cup with more coverage on the
sides or top.
The straps should not fall down nor cut into your skin. If they fall down,
your breasts may not be filling out the top of the cups and you should go
down a cup size. If they leave a mark, you certainly need a more supportive bra.
And now some style tips:

Smooth, silky bras look best under all fabrics.
Match bras to your skin tone, not to the color of the shirt you’re wearing.
And even if your weight doesn’t change, get fitted every year. [source:www.amplepleasure.com]
