Kristin Cavallari was in Las Vegas to promote Wet Republic at MGM. As hot at it gets in Vegas, she manages to look so pretty. See Bill’s close up photo of her and watch Chris’ video. At 4:10 in, listen for Kristin’s beauty tips.

She’s back, and armed with summer swimwear tips! It’s Bluefly Stylist Tanesha Smith with fab fashion tips to help you pick the right swimsuit. Here’s what she has to say.

What are the hot swimwear trends?
Neoprene surfer/sporty-inspired cuts and colors are humongous right now. On the other end of the spectrum are cut-outs and suits with mesh panels. This season is not particularly considerate of tan-lines.

What type of bathing suit makes the legs look longer?
Suits or bottoms with higher cuts on the leg and try a suit with mesh insets (totally happening). The appearance of more skin will extend your legs. And who needs to swim anyway, throw on your highest heel and lounge poolside.

How does a woman show off a toned tummy?
Try a monokini! A toned tum can get away with a daring cut.

How can I appear slimmer in my swimsuit?
Again, the neoprene-like a spanx swimsuit!

What about those of us who want to accentuate our curves?
This classic cut by Shoshanna works for the haves and the have nots. If you’re spectacularly stacked it will support you and if you could use a hand it provides a bit of volume.

What about sandals? What are the hottest sandal trends?
Not that different from swim actually: mesh and cut-outs are major. Platforms and wedges are still totally relevant as well.

What sandals are worth the splurge? Which sandals on Bluefly are perfect at $100 and under?
Classic shoes by big name designer will always be worth the splurge. The Pigalle by Christian Louboutin will always be a classic “do.” You will not be sorry about having spent the money. However—not every sole can be a red one! We have great options under $100 from the likes of Jeffrey Campbell, Boutique 9, Kelsi Dagger, and Velvet Angels.

Are there any fashion-driven summer styling tips you’d like to add?
With the idea in mind that hair is an accessory, wavy après-swim hair is a great styling tip to try. Sleeping in some easy braids should do the trick. Summer is a good time to try anything cropped, fringed, or crocheted you’ve been too afraid to before. You can get away with a lot in the name of “just heading to the pool.”

To find eyeglasses that suit your budget and your style, try before you buy. Visit a variety of retail outlets, from independent optical shops, which typically offer a high-level of customer service, to larger optical stores which offer a wide selection of frames at affordable prices. Keep the following points in mind to find the perfect pair of frames:


• Lens options: Different lens materials and treatments can help to optimize vision. Check out options for long hours at the computer, driving or an on-the-go lifestyle. And to look your best, ask about anti-reflective lenses, which eliminate lens glare, allowing a clear view of your eyes.

• Fit: Comfort is key. Eyeglasses should sit on the bridge of your nose without sliding down and temples should rest securely behind your ears. Ask an optician to help ensure a perfect fit.

• Face shape: The rule of thumb when choosing eyewear is to contrast frame shape with face shape. If you have a round/curvy face, choose angular frames and if you have an angular face, choose rounded frames. Keep the eyewear proportionate to your face and eyes centered in the frames.

• Fashion: From the runway to the red carpet, there are plenty of trends to choose from each season. Jeweled accents? Neon brights? Perfectly square? It all depends on what fits your personality and your wardrobe, so investigate multiple options.

• Lifestyle: Depending on your lifestyle, you may need more than one pair of eyewear; sunglasses that offer UV protection, sport glasses that protect or computer glasses that ease the strain of sitting in front of a screen for many hours.

After Black Friday comes first Cyber Monday, and of course, there are deals to be had. So whether you are spending that Monday at home or in the office, login, take advantage of the specials and save, save, save. Here are a few tips and links to websites to help make your first Cyber Monday easy and rewarding.

Tips:
1. Create a list of what you need to shop for.
2. Create a budget. What’s the most you’re willing to pay for the items on your list? Aim low so you can save the most money.
3. Come up with a shopping strategy before Monday. Only shop sites with a secure checkout.
4. Come Cyber Monday, stick with the plan. Don’t sell yourself short. If you want to pay only $20 for a blouse for your mom, don’t back down. If you can’t find it for $20 online, you will in-store.
5. Keep in mind each retailer’s return policy, just in case.
6. After you’ve made all your purchases, keep an eye on your credit card statement. Make sure there are no unauthorized purchases, and if you find anything that looks suspicious, contact your bank right away.
