Swim suit shopping can be a little daunting, between the endless selection and the fluorescent lighting, shopping for your next perfect suit can leaving you feeling less than fabulous.

Check out this trend board to help give you some direction before you venture into the stores for that necessary but dreaded task.

Here are some tips to make the day more fun, it is shopping after all:

1. Buy one of those spray on tanners from the drug store just to help you fight off that oh so harsh overhead lighting.  $12.49 at CVS

2. Avoid eating gluten for at least two days leading up to shopping day and double up on some of the anti-bloat foods on this list: oranges & watermelon, yogurt, garlic, oatmeal, strawberries, blueberries, grapefruit, broth-based soup, lettuce, spinach, peppermint, ginger, chili peppers, broccoli, cauliflower, cucumbers, and pineapple.

3. Wear the right under garments so you can get a real idea of what the bathing suit looks like on. Of course nothing to small, you need to protect yourself, but think Body by Victoria.

4. If you think you have found a good one, take a venture out of your fitting room to check the big mirror. This also accomplishes our "Unsure? Take it outside rule." You are going to be wearing it in public right? Better make sure you feel comfy outside the confines of a 5'x5' fitting room.

5. Be confident. You know you are gorgeous, you are exactly as you should be.

Go. Shop. Become a more stylish you.
