 TRENDY BEACH LOOKS FOR SUMMER

After decades of baring it all and allowing a show of as much skin as possible without
being arrested, beach fashion has gone retro. Right into the 1950’s, baby.
It’s not uncommon this season to see teenagers prancing around at pool parties and
beaches looking as if they just raided Great Aunt Maybelle-Rose’s trunk. The
swimwear these same kids wore last year and the years before barely had enough
fabric to be classified in any apparel category. But, that was soo 2014. This year’s
summer, the latest addition to swimwear vogue has more high-waist bikinis paired
with halter tops, no less.
The fever’s catchy. Grownups are sporting them too.

A lot  of the beach attire in
Amazon’s shop windows are ensembles you know Marilyn Monroe would have died for,
um, not literally… but you can just tell she would have adored them!

Pair one of these with a pair of high pointed cat-eye sunglass and dare anyone to
resist you.






No beach outfit is complete without a hip beach bag to set you apart from the mundane.












It’s common to find the braver, more bohemian group of beach-goers sporting
oversized totes large enough for a beach mat and umbrella. For the most part, though,
the beach bags are on a conservative trip this season, coming out it styles like these,
which can be worn even off beachside premises.

If you’re looking to sexy up your swimsuit, but are still loathe to break out into a
bikini, there’s awesome news for you. One-pieces this year are really mixing things up
and giving bikinis a real run for their money.

Anyone with a bit of self-consciousness about her midriff will be glad to find the onepieces
that double as corsets. Nothing like a garment that shrinks your waist six inches and molds you into a svelte, more statuesque version of yourself.

Speaking of unexpected things, florals- a whole lot of them - are in, and they’reeverywhere. Even on the beach. It’s easy to find cover-ups displaying bold, vibrant splashes of painted flowers this year, if you’re looking to make a statement, or at the very least, stand out.

Long maxi skirts are also making their presence known poolside and on the beach.

The floral glam has hit beach skirts as well. They can be used to create great match up pieces to swimsuits. Like this one.

Especially if they’re matched with these beach sandals like these from Skechers that
totally bring on the sophisticated.

 

It seems many beach footwear designs will showcase sandals with heels three inches or higher this summer.
Speaking of fancy beach footwear, these barely-there creations are setting a craze of
their own.

Maximize your allure. Add a belly chain to your ensemble. These flirtatious pieces of
jewelry are seriously trending this year.

Oh, they’ve been around for a while, just not in the Western world. Many a woman in various cultures around the world has used belly and hip    chains to entice a man or two. This style has finally hit the West, and unsurprisingly, caught on quickly.
 Most swimwear sections in stores or online have them in various seductive patterns with different kinds of stones and charms.







Who knows, one of these coyly wrapped around your waist might create a little more adventure on your trip to the beach.

So, go on, break out the swimsuits, sexy sandals, and totes; don’t forget the waist chain. If going retro is your thing this year, a pretty scarf wrapped around your hair in a chic ponytail, will set off that high-waisted halter top bikini set.

The trendsetter in you will love you for that.

Team Natural Interview with Angel Berry

City: Memphis

How long have you been natural? I've been natural for 2 years and 4 months.

How long did it take for you to transition?  Prior to cutting it I went 6 months without a relaxer.

How often do you wash your hair?  I do wash it everyday.

What products do you use?  I use Organix Moroccan Shampoo and Conditioner   

How often do you cut your hair? I get it cut once a week to keep it neat.

Do you have any advice for anyone who wants to go natural? Being natural is not just an appearance, it's also a state of mind and you have to be comfortable enough with yourself to wear it that way.. Hair doesn't make or break you, it just adds to who you already are. #allnaturalnoadditivesorpreservatives

TEAM NATURAL LISA B.

Name: LISA B.

City: MEMPHIS, TN

How long have you been natural? I first went natural in 1999. That lasted about a year until I succumbed to the pressure to get it relaxed. I started going natural again in 2001 and have been since then.

How long did it take you to grow your hair completely out? Each time I went about 5-6 months without a relaxer, and then I just cut it off. I don't have enough patience to deal with trying to maintain two extremely different hair textures (relaxed and kinky-curly), so I just did the "big chop." Plus, it was less expensive and time consuming (two of my primary reasons for going natural) to cut it off rather than trying to go through a long transition from relaxed to my naturally kinky hair.

How do you deal with your edges (while transitioning)? I didn't have a very long transition period, but when I did, I simply wore hairstyles that didn't reveal my edges much. I didn't want to spend inordinate amounts of time trying to straighten and smooth kinky edges. Plus, if you're not careful during the transition with trying to "smooth" edges, you can cause damage to the hairline. Sometimes I did use a little gel or mousse to smooth down my edges when I wore my hair in a pulled-back style.

Do you have to wash it every day? When my natural hair was longer (down to my shoulder blades), I shampooed it once a week, and I hated it! It would usually take me all of Friday evening and into the night to shampoo, detangle and condition, and twist my hair and then sit under a dryer for an eternity. Most of the time, it was still damp in the crown of my head on Saturday mornings, so I would let it air dry. I have extremely thick, coarse hair, and it was taking way more time than I wanted to give to maintain my superfro. I eventually decided (about six years ago) to just cut it all off. I now shampoo my hair about twice a week, and it only takes about 2-3 minutes. I work out 5-6 days a week, so this is often enough for me to keep it clean without drying my hair out.

What products do you use? This is going to sound so country-ghetto, but I shampoo with Equate Everyday Clean 2 in 1 shampoo for normal hair (WalMart brand). After I run a towel across my hair, I rub in Murray's hair pomade (what some people call "wave grease") and brush. That's it! No special oils or 11 herbs and spices. On the days I don't shampoo, I simply wet my brush with plain old tap water and brush my hair. When my hair was shoulder-length, I used products like Carol's Daughter and Miss Jessie's, but honestly, those products aren't made for hair like mine. My hair would soak that very expensive stuff up and say, "That's all you got? Where's the grease?" One product line that I used when my hair was longer that did work was Kinky Curly. The shampoo and conditioner kept my hair properly hydrated, and there were a couple of other products in that line that gave me great texture and hold when I did twist-outs.

How do you get it straight? When it was longer and I wanted a straight style, my hair was blow dryed, flat-ironed, and lightly misted with those special oils. That didn't last eight hours before I was back to looking like Angela Davis. Honestly, my hair stayed straight best when I got a good old-fashioned hard press with a straightening comb and some Blue Magic (yes, that old timey hair grease). I am very physically active; I love the freedom of walking in the rain without worrying about my hair "going back," so no straight styles for me.

How often do you cut your hair? When it was longer, my hair was trimmed once a month. You must trim your natural hair, or you will have raggedy split ends. Now, I might get my hair cut every 2-3 weeks. It just depends on whether or not I want a TWA (teeny-weeny afro) to highlight my curl pattern or a very low cut to accentuate more of a wave pattern. I've actually had my head completely shaved like baby butt bald before, and I'm probably going to do it again.

Do you have any advice for anyone who wants to go natural? First, be clear about your reason(s) for going natural. Is this a health issue, a time management issue, a financial issue, a spiritual issue, or some combination of them all? My decision to go natural and stay natural centered around all of these reasons, yet varied at different times in my life. Second, be prepared for some ignorant and insensitive remarks and questions. Are you strong enough to deal with it without coming off as the angry black woman? Lastly, educate yourself about your hair and the process of going natural. So many people think going natural means doing absolutely nothing to their hair. If anything, you have to work a bit harder to find styles, stylists, and products to ensure your natural hair is healthy without spending an inordinate amount of money. Do your research online, have a consultation at a reputable salon with natural hair stylists, experiment with various products and styles, talk to other women about their experiences. It can be a challenge, but going natural is not impossible. I have no issues with women who choose to relax their hair because everything is not for everybody, but I wouldn't trade the experiences I've had and the freedom I've gained by going short and natural for all the long, silky tresses in the world.
