That's right ladies, it's bikini season. That means if you want to find something adorable you're going to need to get together a lot of cash to buy something with a designer tag… or does it? I've been looking around a lot lately and I'm beginning to notice it doesn't need a designer tag or designer prices to be absolutely adorable. These are the best places to get the best suits for under $30.


1. H&M

H&M
Now unfortunately, at the time being, H&M doesn't offer online shopping in the U.S. which while depressing is only a minor setback. I found my favorite bikini this summer at H&M for only $4.95 per separate piece. That's less than my sushi lunch cost me that day! H&M is the hot spot for adorable bikinis, go there fast before they're all gone!

2. Forever 21

Forever 21
Forever 21 although aimed at the younger crowds, has a lot of very cute bikinis this year. They've got everything from paint splashes to floral and really, I can't get enough of their website. Shopping with them is easy and you're sure to find something bright and colorful. Besides, they've got the biggest selection I've seen online all season!

3. Wetseal

Wetseal
Wetseal has a lot more… sultry bikinis. They're metallic, animal print and just a touch more sexy then a lot of the other bikinis that are out right now. Wetseal is the place to go if you want to find a metallic leopard print bikini or just something in a sexy neon pink!

I love a good quote. Not the inspirational kind, which invariably fail to inspire me, but the funny, witty, clever kind. Here are some of my favorites.

Don't you just love weddings? From the simple to the extravagant, I love looking at what people choose, and I'm addicted to "Don't Tell The Bride"… I dread to think what my boyfriend would plan with an unlimited budget and no input from me! I've been researching what's hot for weddings in 2010, and here are the top 8 new wedding trends…

1. Backyard Weddings

Whether it's for the control or the money saving, backyard weddings are a huge right now. You can decorate however you want, choose your own alcohol, nothing is banned, and your guests will feel instantly more relaxed. It's also perfect if you are planning to leave early for your honeymoon, as your parents or friends can clean up for you and theres no risk of it costing you a fortune!

2. Handmade

Handmade invitations have been a hit for brides on a budget for a few years, but this year handmade is going to a new level. From growing your own flowers to printing initials on wine glasses and even making your own wine, adding the personal touch to your wedding is hotter than ever. So buy those professionally designed and completely gorgeous wedding invites, and unleash your creativity on the food, the cake, the wine or the gifts.

3. Peacock

The peacock trend is gorgeous, and it’s set to be huge this year. From just taking the colours, the bright cobalt blue, deep emerald greens and flashes of silver, to peacock feather decorations and jewellery, there's no doubt that when done right this is a glamorous and striking wedding theme. My favourite idea so far? Marrying in a nature reserve, with wild peacocks wandering about. The wedding pictures were divine!

Ever wondered why some people have amazing sex, and other people seem to be stuck with a very mediocre sex life? A recent girly night with my friends resulted in an indepth conversation about how good sex can be, and why it isn't always that good. I think I've found the answer! Read on to discover my top 7 tricks to be better in bed

1. Classic Missionary… with a difference!

mission
Missionary is still the most popular sex position, but it's so easy to spice up! Try lying down with your legs spread further apart than usual, which will feel amazing on its own, and bending your knees. Then slide your legs around him, and squeeze your thighs together as he thrusts. You'll be in heaven, and it's so easy!

2. Standing… The Update!

kiss_against_wall
This is an unmissable position, but so many of my friends said they hadn't tried it as they didn't know what to do. Start by standing face to face, with your back against the wall, and get him to bend his knees to make it easier to enter you. Hold his shoulders to steady yourself and try wrapping your leg round him if your balance is good enough… you'll drive him crazy!

3. Seated – New and Improved

sitting
Make him sit in a chair, but make sure the chair is sturdy first! Straddle his lap, but instead of letting him do the work, raise your knees and put them against his chest, and rest your feet on the seat. Get him to grip your thighs while you thrust… a few friends hadn't tried this either, but soon reported back that it’s their new favourite position!

Is your house looking a bit dull? Are you bored with the same old furnishings? Here are some simple and quick tips to brighten up your home.

1. Make a curtain headboard

1
I've been wanting a bedstead to make my bed look smarter, but haven't found one I like. Instead, I took a curtain sample I picked up from a home furnishings shop and hung it behind the bed. Very little work involved, and it makes my bedroom look super-smart.

2. Cover the sofa

Sofa looking a bit shabby? Buy a fabric remnant and toss it over the sofa. I covered my boring (but free) leatherette sofa with a piece of chocolate fake fur I picked up for a couple of euros. No sewing involved and feels lovely to sit on.

3. Hang fabric as wall art

Want a cheap 'painting' to spruce up a plain wall? Buy a plain canvas, get a piece of patterned fabric (if you're like me, you'll have a stash you've been collecting), and staple it round the canvas. Hey presto, a work of art in minutes!

I remember when a friend asked me, “If there was only one thing you could buy, money not being an object,what would it be?” I have pondered this question many many times. Perhaps an LV Speedy? The Chanel 2.55? A Birkin? While I haven’t quite made up my mind yet, I think I’m going to have to add the Hermes Medor Clutch to my list…

What’s So Fab about It: Agreed that the clutch by itself is kind of basic, maybe even plain, but one look at the collier de chien hardware and I’m filled with such desire! It is a one of a kind show-stopper, a true work of art, and a tribute to amazing craftsmanship!
Where Would I Wear It: Give me the clutch and I’m sure I’ll find an occasion or two to carry it to. Of course, a clutch this fabulous would need an equally stunning dress, killer shoes and exquisite jewelry!
How Many Tall Lattes It’s Worth: 1,342
Where to Look 4 It: usa.hermes.com
All in all, the Hermes Medor Clutch is a classic that will never age and never go out of vogue. I’d sell my soul for this one! Any buyers?
