I recently had the opportunity to speak one on one with Giuliana Rancic, you might have heard of her from E! News, about her recent involvement with Tropicana Trop50 and got to pick her brain a bit about what sort of fashions to expect for the summer.
You recently teamed up with Tropicana Trop50, can you fill us in on what Trop50 is and what it’s benefits might be?
Tropicana Trop50 is my favorite drink right now. It is so fantastic. First of all it is delicious, it comes in two flavors pomegranate blueberry and pineapple mango. What I love about it is that it is 50% less calories and 50% less sugar than other fruit juices AND no artificial sweeteners which is so important which you see a lot of times in these types of juices. It’s a fantastic juice, especially for the summer. It’s just a great drink and I’m loving it.
Swimsuit season is upon us, What are some fashion tips to make swimsuit season a little less dreadful?
Well I can show you a few styles that people that come to your blog can identify with. For instance, let’s take a look at my model Caitlin here. Caitlin feels she has not enough bust which I’m sure a lot of people that read your website think the same thing. Basically what I said was Caitlin let’s go for a pattern on top. So we went with this great pattern because it adds a little bulk to the bust area. You can also achieve this look with beading, ruching, basically anything that adds bulk to the top. And Caitlin like all crazy models thinks she is a little big at the hips, can you imagine, so I said you know what, Caitlin, I’ll work with you girl. We went with a solid color on the bottom. What you want to do is you don’t want the attention to be on the bottom, you want the eyes to go upward towards the bust area. So I think she looks great and what I’m loving too is that Caitlin obviously is so young and hip so instead of doing the traditional wrap we did instead this Michael Stars top which is this really cute cover-up and it keeps her really hip and on trend for the summer.
Being a Fashion Blogger you must be on top of all the trends, what are the kinds of trends we will be seeing in swimsuits this year?
Well some of the other trends are one pieces because they are so glamorous. So let’s bring out our one piece model, this is Nicky. And I love this look. First of all, one pieces are very forgiving and they are very slimming which I love. Women tend to go for blacks or navy blues and I say you know what forget that. You can still look slimming and gorgeous in this fuchsia color, it’s this wonderful color for the summer and a lot of one pieces are doing these little add-ons, its kind of a substitute for jewelry with pretty beading. So we really want to get a one-piece that makes our bodies look good in a fun color but also has something interesting going on with it otherwise its just a boring one-piece. And over sized sunglasses are huge this summer, if you’ve seen Sex and the City 2 or are planning on seeing it all the girls are wearing oversized glasses. They just scream glamor and beautiful. I was showing the Micheal Star’s coverup earlier before, well Nicky here is going for the more glamorous look so we put a wrap on her. There are so many light wraps out there. You can cover up what you want and at night if it gets a little chilly you can throw it over your shoulders to be warm.
Can you share with us what types of swimsuits work best on different body types?
Well if you have a pretty great body like our next girl does, Casey, you can wear this beautiful bando style. This is my favorite bikini right now because for a lot of women you have to figure out what you like the best about your body. So like Casey here she has wonderful shoulders and a great clavicle, so we put her in a bando style top to really accentuate that. And what I love too is that there are no tan lines. I am on so many red carpets and see so many actresses in these gorgeous Oscar Dela Renta gowns with tan lines! And I’m like are you kidding me? Whether you are an actress or a regular girl going out at night in a strapless dress, tan lines are a no-no, I do not forgive you for tan lines. So this will avoid that and it could be a little boring unless you spiced it up a bit like we did with this statement necklace. There is no reason you can’t wearing jewelry to the beach. A great cuff and of course a hat to get rid of any UV rays because wrinkles are so 10 years ago.
What is your number one tip for keeping your cool and keeping your confidence while wearing a swimsuit?
I think diet is so important. It really is. No matter how great your swimsuit is and how wonderful your spray tan is before you go to the beach. You know you really have to have a good diet because if you don’t you are going to feel bloated, you are not going to feel good at the beach. The key is having healthy snacks on hand. I love nuts, I love fiber crackers, anything that is a little filling and of course drinks. I don’t do the big slushy drinks when I go to the pool or the beach because then I feel bloated and embarrassed so instead I do the light drinks like the Trop50. So these are some tips that hopefully will help your readers and for sure go to Trop50.com because I have come up with 50 tips for the summer to help women look good and of course feel good too, which is the most important thing.
