Tobi Purchases

Tobi has 30% off new arrivals every day. I find the best time for selection on sizes for these new arrivals is at night around 12am. It's free shipping in the USA for orders over $150. It's hard to find $150 worth of stuff because things in my shopping cart kept on selling out as I never have enough for free shipping. But last night I did have enough for free shipping and I placed an order. Tobi doesn't charge you any Washington tax when you ship it to Point Roberts - yay!

Here are some things I bought:

Emerald Green Romper $61. This romper's neckline is so beautiful. I had to have it.

Mint Wrap Dress for $36. I love wrap style dresses because it's super flattering on.

Ivory Wrap Dress for $36. I had to get another one in a neutral colour.

White Criss Cross tank for $37. I was eyeing this top for a while.
It was the only thing that wasn't on sale at the time. But I think it can be tastefully worn with a high waisted high-low skirt or high waisted shorts/skirt.

Today is my birthday! My girl friend had gone into so much effort to make my birthday special last night before it hit midnight. She was very elusive about my surprise and told me not to bring a purse, not to wear nice shoes and to bring a warm jacket. She bought so many unique snacks, macaroons and pastries and we went to Kits Beach to enjoy the scenery and munch. It was so cold at the beach but thankfully we had a blanket. I think I overdosed on sweets. I love my friend very much. I told her that her future boyfriend would be very lucky since she's such a thoughtful and romantic person.

It's finally starting to kick in that it's my birthday. Birthday weekend #2 starts today but weekend #3 is the one I'm really looking forward to as I see everyone who's important to me in one room. I'm going for dinner tonight with a friend. He, too, said it's a surprise and I have no idea where and what we are eating.

Have a great Friday readers. Enjoy the May long weekend.

How To Choose a Bikini

Here are pictures of bikinis that I like and that I would personally wear. Choosing the perfect bikini is tough because every girl's body shape is different. I found all of these on the ASOS swimwear section.

(I love the fringe. I think it's going to be big this summer)

To smaller chested girls. I would choose a bikini top that has ruffles to give the illusion that there is more going on by creating a voluminous texture. If you don't like ruffles, I find buying a bigger sized bikini top gives the illusion of a bigger chest. I usually associate more fabric material = more body parts to cover. Maybe I'm the only one who thinks like that. I think smaller chested girls look cuter in bandeau tops but not so great in triangle bikini tops.

(I think this bikini set is universally flattering)

To bigger bottom girls. I would stay away from patterns. Patterned bottoms draw attention and that's something you don't want. I don't think high waisted bottoms hides a bigger bottom. I think it does the opposite since they have more material. And I associate more fabric with the need to cover a larger body part. I would just buy a regular solid bikini bottom. Also, stay away from ruffled skirted bottoms. I think it gives the illusion of a bigger bum.
