Bikini Season!

Hey it's Dahlia! To make up for not posting in a while here's a (hopefully) interesting post filled with history and advice of bikinis or swimsuits.
                     History:
  The modern bikini was invented by French engineer Louis RĂ©ard in 1946 (however there is evidence of bikini like garments back in 1400 BC). He named it after Bikini Island in the Pacific,. Since his competition Jacques Heim had called his bikini the Atome because of its size, Louis claimed to have made it even smaller (splitting the Atome so to speak). His invention was based on exposing the stomach, which was not available with earlier bathing suits.

                 
                   Bikini Advice (though I am a newbie to the bikini world):
   Do wear prints, they look fab!
   Do wear halters.
   Do wear small cut outs. They show just enough.
   Don't forget a cover up. I usually wear a light dress.
   Don't skimp on sandals and always make that they're sturdy and don't clash with your cover up.
   Don't forget to have fun!
