Spring has spring, and temperatures have been rising, so heading to the pool or the ocean for some fun in the sun is on the cards. After months of being rugged up in winter woolies, not many of us will feel ready to expose our bodies in a swimsuit.
Most of us are not 100% happy with our body shape, but honestly who cares if there are lumps and bumps. Having fun in the water is much more important than missing out because we are not happy with how we look in a swimsuit.
We have some great tips to help you get your body looking its best even if it's not as perfect as we might want it to be.
We have boutiques throughout Australia and New Zealand that stock a large selection of our swimsuits, and the quickest way to feel confident in one is to get properly fitted by an expert that can also suggest the best styles for your size and shape to enhance your features.
2. EXFOLIATE
The quickest way to get your skin to glow is to exfoliate the dead skin cells on your skin. You can buy great exfoliators in the supermarket, so start using these twice a week. Not only will your skin feel super smooth it will absorb your moisturizer.
3. Moisturize
After your shower, you probably apply deodorant, brush your teeth and apply a facial moisturizer, but do you use a body lotion daily.
Make this a daily habit and your will look and feel so much better.
4. Fake Tan
Your arms and legs may look a bit pasty white after the winter cover up but fake tans that your buy now have improved dramatically and can give your skin a gorgeous glow and are most effective if your skin is well exfoliated before application.
Apply the night before you are going to the water, so that it has time to develop.
5. INCREASE YOUR WATER INTAKE
Warmer weather increases the need for more fluid and dehydration makes the skin look dull and enhances wrinkles. So, add another glass or 3 every day and your skin with thank you.
6. PAINT YOUR TOENAILS
Trimmed and painted toenails are a must have warm weather accessory and can really complete your look.
Always apply a clear topcoat over the colour to help stop them from chipping and you also end up with a nice glossy finish.
Pick a pretty shade and make time to reapply every 2-3 weeks so that they always look their best.
7. SUNSCREEN
Whenever you go outside, sunscreen is a vital necessity to help avoid skin cancer, wrinkles and sun spots.
All sunscreens have a relatively short life span, so check the use by date on your supplies and if necessary, restock with some fresh ones to ensure maximum effectiveness.
These simple but effective tips will increase your confidence and help you look and feel your best when you slip into the water.

We are delighted to introduce to you a selection of beautiful new one-piece swimsuits that are currently arriving instore just in time for summer.
New releases were badly affected by covid over the last 2 years, but thankfully the situation is improving, and we are returning to a more normal pattern with new releases.
Below is just a small snapshot of some great one-piece swimsuits in a variety of styles and prints to highlight how every woman can find her perfect swimsuit at one of retailers in Australia and New Zealand.
SUNFLAIR® are renowned for unique prints and a fabulous fit and this beautiful floral print is a perfect example. Contrasting trim makes this one-piece stand out from the crowd. Do you like a good floral?
Love a good floral but pastel shades are more to your liking, then this super pretty option from OLYMPIA® could be the perfect choice for you. Contrasting darker trim and the lace up feature take this option from simple to spectacular.
Forget florals and try some sequins instead. Luxury brand OPERA® has you covered in this stiking one shoulder swimsuit that will definitely help you stand out from the crowd.
Prints are not for everyone. Plain colours are beautifully combined in this sporty styled one-piece. There is a definite trend towards a higher cut leg which we have not seen for a while. This design feature is great for helping create the illusion of longer legs.
If you want to create the illusion of a smaller backside, choosing a one-piece swimsuit that has a patterned top and a plain bottom is the best way to achieve that. The delightful swimsuit from SUNMARIN® is also a great value buy.
Monochrome never goes out of style and this one-piece takes it to the nest level. SUNFLAIR® take print placement very seriously and each swimsuit is carefully cut to ensure that the pattern is not compromised in any way. One of the true benefits of buying quality swimwear rather than cheaper alternatives that use all over patterns that make cutting a simpler and cheaper option during construction.
Red, white and blue is another very popular colour combo that never goes out of fashion. Floral and abstract prints are perfectly combined in this one from SUNMARIN®.
No matter what your shape or style we have the perfect one-piece swimsuit for you this summer. We also have lots of options that are made with GreenBay fabric created from reclaimed old fishing nets that is a positive step to reducing our carbon footprint. To find your local stockist or if you would like to include our ranges in your boutique, please email [email protected] and we will be happy to help.
Fashion trends come and go and then just when you think you will never see a trend return, it does just that. Just like corduroy jeans that were so popular in the 80's have crept back on the racks this winter.
For years we watched swimwear get smaller and skimpier as the years went by. Tiny swimsuits are not for everyone, and the retro/vintage vibe pieces have been making their appearance in current collections and many women are embracing the extra coverage and confidence that this brings.
Here are a few fabulous options that definitely provide that retro luxe vibe.
This pretty floral bikini is from SUNMARIN®. The pant is a generous cut with an attached gathered overskirt which provides a nice bit of coverage!
The beautiful full pant and little capped sleeve of this stunning set from SUNFLAIR® captures a true vintage look with superior comfort and fit.
Another fuller pant option, this time the addition of some rich colours certainly makes this SUNFLAIR® style a true winner.
A modern tankini provides a vintage vibe with its longer length top. This great one from SUNMARIN® provides great coverage with comfort and style.
Finally a monochrome skirted swimsuit covers all the things you want to hide but lets you look like a vintage goddess at the same time. This stunner from SUNFLAIR® will also provide great bust support and comfort.
Vintage style elements open the door to so many more women being able to wear a bikini with confidence and its a trend we hope to see continue in the years ahead.

Most women find shopping for a swimsuit a rather confronting ordeal. There are so many reasons why our bodies do not look toned and smooth like we wish they did. Lack of confidence to display our lumps and bumps in public, see too many ladies choose not to enjoy swimming and splashing in the water.
We should be proud of our bodies regardless of what they look like. Unfortunately we are constantly bombarded with images of perfect looking females. Our confidence is eroded, but all is not lost. A skirted swimsuit could be the perfect solution!
There are two types of skirted swimsuits. One is a one-piece swimsuit that has a skirt permanently attached. The other option is a tankini style which simply means the top and bottom are two separate pieces.
In the past skirted swimsuits were pretty much reserved for larger, older women. These days they are available from size 10 and with modern prints they will cover the tummy and upper thighs and look very stylish in the process.
This classy navy and white swimsuit from SUNFLAIR® is a tankini style with a separate pant. Available from size 10 to 24 with cup size up to an E. Soft cups make this a very comfortable wear. Adjustable straps will ensure you get yours swimsuit to fit perfectly and XTRA LIFE® fabric inclusion will ensure it retains its beautiful shape after lots of swims.
This super smart style from SUNFLAIR® is a traditional skirted swimsuit and is all one piece. Available in steel grey/white and also a red/white combination. Sizes 10-24 with cups up to an E. Features include soft cups for comfort and a lower cut back. This style also includes XTRA LIFE® for long life wearing
This beautiful bright option is from SUNMARIN® and is a tankini style with a separate pant. Soft cups and adjustable straps guarantee comfort and great fit. Available from size 10 to 22 and up to a F cup.
As you can see these 3 swimsuit options provide fantastic coverage and will give you the freedom to enjoy time in the water without being so conscious of your shape.
If its just your tummy area that gives you concern, you can greatly expand the options available by trying on a more traditional tankini that includes a looser top and we have plenty of those available for you to discover at your closest boutique.

Being big busted can be a hinderance when it comes to buying stylish and modern swimsuits. It is not uncommon for us to have to resort to wearing basic styles and colours to ensure we have the support we need. We deserve beautiful swimwear too and don't want to be stuck in boring basics every time we want to go to the beach or pool.
