Shopping Post : Swimwear Time ! Nautical Inspiration

 By: Unknown    23:24  No comments

For this week's edition of Caroline hits a shop and shows you what's in stock - we're focusing on nautical-inspired swimwear and I've chosen the literally-just-arrived range at Tommy Hilfiger Baystreet.

Throughout the colder months I'm not really one to go for anything navy and I tend to stay away from looks that are vaguely nautical...when summer arrives though I notice that without actually thinking about it, I start to gravitate towards these colours...however I've also noticed that the pieces I focus more attention on are generally less preppy and maybe with something cute or 'different' in the design.

In this swimwear range ..there's both..there's perfectly preppy nautical that is Tommy Hilfiger all over but then there are some cuter styles (look right down for the red checked bikini ...awwww) 

and some with gold hardware additions that are ultra stylish like this first pic below.

Bikini Shopping Advice Now I'm one of those people that hates trying on clothes and often 'just buy' stuff but when buying swimwear I do really advocate that you ensure it fits perfectly.....the pants should NOT dig into the waist and create love handles, the bra cups should NOT be half empty and the back strap should remain in a horizontal line.For apples I recommend swimsuits as a much more flattering option...if you've got broad shoulders avoid halter necks.For pears bikinis with a bit of top padding and strapless or halter styles are your best bet, for pears avoid buying pants that cover too much of your bum, ironically that will make it look larger.

All the diff styles together...

And to carry alll those important things...you know beach towel..book...sweets that don't melt....

For those who really truly truly don't know, there are Tommy Hilfiger Stores in Baystreet and Valletta and they have a facebook page right here .

Shopping Post : Men and Blazers

 By: Unknown    01:00  No comments

I love a man in a nice suit, after all, give me a perfectly tailored blue suit and a crisp white shirt ad it onto a dashing man aka James Bond (Sean Connery) and I'm good to go. A lot of men however, don't feel quite the same way about suits...a few too many of them detest wearing suits..With more and more companies abandoning the idea of formal dress codes for work and accepting casual wear, men have now grown accustomed to being comfortable and now view suits as though they are little, evil, green-headed monsters...created with the sole purpose of making men suffer.

Enter the BLAZER, the humble blazer owes its origins to the pedigree of the United Kingdom. To be precise to the Lady Margaret Boat Club (the rowing club of St. John's College, Cambridge), the men wore red blazers in the 1800s. The great thing about a blazer, whilst still ultimately being a fitted jacket is that it can be worn over a t-shirt, over jeans, over a crisp white shirt...basically does not call for the whole formal ensemble but it still can be worn that way if wanted.

One of the best places to buy a nice male blazer from is Tommy Hilfiger, they have lovely tweed and velvet options which along with plaid, are my current fave blazer types. 

Some picks rom Tommy Hilfiger Malta below : Although these pics show them styled with ties and shirts, this is not the only way to wear them, they'd look really great over a sweater/v-neck/t-shirt/open shirt!

And because little boys should look as good as their dads....

In Malta, Tommy Hilfiger Stores can be found in Baystreet Shopping Complex Paceville and in Valletta.Hilfiger Denim Stores can be found at The Point and in also Valletta (in Valletta same store as Tommy Hilfiger - basement level).

I also suggest wholeheartedly that you LIKE their facebook page right here.
