Summer brings with it trips to the beach, barbecues, convertibles and outdoor adventures. Before we start to talk summer fashion trends, blitz your cold sore blues — and don’t forget the sunscreen!

Now let’s help you find the perfect swimsuit.

Swimming attire is a difficult fit. Why? The honest answer is bodies come in all shapes and sizes, swimsuits mean more skin and the possibility of revealing your imperfections. This is difficult for almost anyone. The main goal is to find something that covers the right spots and flaunts the rest.

The best accessory to reflect your style, personality or mood is a pair of shades. The right pair of shades can dress up, ooze casualty or bring on the glam factor. It is an affordable accessory that any girl can splurge on. And be honest, you probably have a collection of sunglasses because like your favorite purse, you need different styles to reflect different aspects of YOU. Especially when you’re suffering through a hellacious cold sore outbreak! Nothing detracts from a horrendous cold sore like the latest trendsetter in outdoor eyewear! But like any other fashion accessory, there are a few rules you want to follow to achieve the look you’re going for.
