Whether heading to a foreign beach on holidays, on a honeymoon or just heading to your local pool, buying swimwear is one of the trickiest purchases a girl has to make but instead of going for the latest 'in thing', simply buying for your body type makes things much easier – and is likely to have the best end results. Look to maximise your good points and hide away the parts you're less confident about and you can step out in your swimwear with a smile. One of the main areas of concern when buying swimwear is the bust. If you have a small bust, look for bikinis that are underwired and, if you want a helping hand, look for padded tops. If you're happy to show off a bit of flesh, look for a bandeau or strapless bikini or go for the classic triangle look. For girls with large busts, go for the support offered by a halterneck bikini. If you wish to draw attention away from this area look for swimwear with detailing on the bottom half, perhaps by adding a sarong or beach skirt to the outfit. Another typical problem areas is the hips. If you have small hips, think about bikini briefs with a high cut leg or, if you're looking to create a curvier shape, go for hipsters. Really stand out by going for contrasting bright colours and by not plumping for solid, block colours. If you have large hips – or you want to draw attention away from this region – choose plain dark bottoms and match them with a bright, eye-catching top. Hipsters can also be beneficial for those with long bodies who want to reduce this effect, and skirts will also help here. Low necklines will also reduce your body length. Conversely, shorter girls may wish to wear high cut briefs to accentuate their legs. If you want to hide away your stomach, a one piece swimsuit may be the best option. The way they're created helps to hold in your tummy and if you want to keep eyes away form this area then go for swimwear with detailing on the top and bottom – but with a plain middle. Once you've got the perfect swimming costume make sure to get out to the pool or onto the beach and enjoy yourself. Isla Campbell writes for a digital marketing agency.

If it was as easy as they all make out then surely we'd all look great on a beach and wouldn't need all these how-to guides, so what is the best way to get the perfect beach body? The best way to do it, health-wise, is to keep fit and active all year round whilst sticking to a sensible diet. However, experience tells us that this isn't the easiest of tasks and work, social activities and other obligations often get in the way of the arguably more important tasks in life. Although you can take it for granted that the models used in the magazine pieces have a very strict diet and exercise regime, with a genuine will to lose weight you can easily achieve your target too. First, work out how long you have to meet your target weight. In a diary or calendar, mark out points along the way where you will have smaller goals. By breaking down your weight loss programme into smaller sectors makes it easier to achieve and gives you motivation to keep going. This strategy is used in many other areas of life – such as business and sales – as it helps keep a positive state of mind, something that is vital when you're trying to lose weight. The first thing to look at is your diet. Some fads tell you to starve yourself but this is more harmful than helpful and any weight you do lose is likely to be water weight and quick to return. Instead make sensible cutbacks. Remove the snacks from your diet and stop eating foods – the chips, pizzas and burgers in your diet – that you know are bad for you. One easy way to do this is to empty your cupboards and freezers of this kind of food to remove the temptation to munch on them. Use it as a time to experiment with your cooking and try a new vegetable or two. As well as watching what you eat, you'll need to take up some form of exercise. The 'e' word strikes fear into many people but it's easy to make it fun. If there's a sport you enjoy, make the effort to join a class or get playing regularly with a friend. You can always take up new classes – in dancing, for example – or if you want to shed serious pounds think about joining a gym class such as spinning. If you go to a gym you can also think about using the other facilities they offer and many will let you speak to a trainer who will be able to give you a personalised workout. To make sure you look good in bikinis this year, keep well hydrated (try cutting out drinks like coffee and alcohol) by drinking water instead. This will not only help you lose weight but will also improve your skin's complexion, meaning you'll look even better in those holiday snaps, for a special event or even for your wedding day.

And while this is still possible, it's important to keep an eye on your health at the same time. With shorter days and colder weather, it's easy to neglect the importance of taking exercise during the winter. Ironically, this is one of the major times of the year when your body needs to be in top condition. With the change in seasons, your body can easily become prone to colds and flues, so having the physical strength to battle these off is important. If going outside for a jog in the mornings or evenings is too much for you, why not consider joining a gym? Although gyms have the image of containing body worshippers and steroid-loving weight lifters, this isn't the case with most gyms. In fact most gyms or leisure clubs simply contain other people just like yourself who are looking to keep trim. Of course staying healthy isn't just about taking exercise, although this is very important. The food you eat plays an important role in how healthy you are. While cutting out certain foods is always seen as the most important part of staying fit, when it comes to keeping winter colds at bay it's more about what you eat rather than what you don't eat. For example, foods with a high content of vitamin c are particularly important during the winter months. Vitamin C is essential for keeping you healthy, boosting your immune system and allowing you to keep healthy and fight off colds. With the increased focus on keeping fit and healthy, winter proves an ideal time to look at your long term health. A checkup with your doctor, a blood test or perhaps speaking to a health or life insurance company are all ways in which you can do this. So rather than just snuggling up by the fire this winter, take the opportunity to keep your health in shape. Just half an hour a day could make all the difference and there will still be plenty of time left to snuggle up by the fire. Jennifer Adams writes for a digital marketing agency.

When it comes to attending those summer festivals, why not mix fun with a bit of fashion? The sun could be baking down from the sky or perhaps pouring down with rain at your festival of choice, but there's no reason why you can't still look good for the occasion.When it comes to summer festivals, you may automatically think that it would make sense to pack sun cream, day cream, sunglasses, plenty of skirts, and vests into your suitcase or holdall. Unfortunately, with the difficulty in predicting the weather conditions, there is now a common trend of being overwhelmed with mud at your nearest festival, so it may be worthwhile considering a pair of Wellingtons; perhaps even a woolly hat and weather proof coat into your luggage. The latter items of clothing may not sound fashionable, but they can be!There are of course many different types of festivals to attend in the summer, ranging from music festivals to family orientated events and most things in-between with perhaps the only difficult choice being what clothes to wear. However, festival fashion wear is your oyster, and while usually almost anything goes there are a few obvious what-not-to-wear suggestions to bear in mind.Firstly, consider your footwear; stilettos may not be the best footwear of choice for a festival, with the ground normally either quite hard or very soft, which often results in your moving nowhere fast! More obvious choices such as trainers, flip flops, sandals or Wellington boots may be more practical depending on the prevailing conditions.Flip flops are popular at festivals, especially on hot days, allowing your feet to breathe but also for comfort after a long day of standing in front of the stage. But if the weather turns inclement, then perhaps flip-flops aren't the most sensible of choices. If - or when - the weather does turns for the worse, don't be put off by the thought of Wellington boots; you don't have to look like a farmers wife, and with a great range of floral patterns available, you can have dry feet and look as good as celebrities do. After all, Wellington boots and a pair of hot-pants worked for Kate Moss at 2005's Glastonbury Festival.Accessories are a female's middle name and when it comes to summer festivals a clutch bag wouldn’t go too far astray in holding those important valuables - that obviously being make-up. A bandana can be very useful for those who don’t like the prospect of displaying greasy hair, whilst also acting as a useful eye mask for when you are getting ready to settle down to sleep as the sun starts to rise.The men may not understand festivals completely from a female perspective; the music or function is great fun, you persevere with the strange body odours, where ideally you would have a shower at any available moment but the fashion will also be there. Don’t be ashamed about modelling the best dress, coolest Ray Bands, wearing lots of layers or perhaps showing off your girly roots, it's your festival and a great opportunity to display your fashion sense.Jennifer Adams writes for a digital marketing agency.

After all, Wellington boots and a pair of hot-pants worked for Kate Moss at 2005's Glastonbury Festival.Accessories are a female's middle name and when it comes to summer festivals a clutch bag wouldn’t go too far astray in holding those important valuables - that obviously being make-up. A bandana can be very useful for those who don’t like the prospect of displaying greasy hair, whilst also acting as a useful eye mask for when you are getting ready to settle down to sleep as the sun starts to rise.The men may not understand festivals completely from a female perspective; the music or function is great fun, you persevere with the strange body odours, where ideally you would have a shower at any available moment but the fashion will also be there. Don’t be ashamed about modelling the best dress, coolest Ray Bands, wearing lots of layers or perhaps showing off your girly roots, it's your festival and a great opportunity to display your fashion sense.Jennifer Adams writes for a digital marketing agency.
