1) Dad can grill like a king with Cuisinart’s 14-piece Deluxe Grill Set (C$49.99). All that’s missing is a juicy steak.

Select the right size and direction and stripes can create width where you want it and create a more flattering shape (chevrons are great for disguising a tummy). Here's are some of our favourites:

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basThere's no reason why the pretty florals you wear to a ladies luncheon can't be reworked for the beach. From classic Liberty-style blooms to big, tropical foliage, there's as many varieties of prints as, you guessed it, there are flowers.

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basPretty ruffles on bikinis and bathers can take a simple suit and make it flirty and ultra-feminine. Look for tops with ruffles all over the bust to add volume, or opt in for a more delicate ruffle trim if you don't need any help up top. Sweet ruffles around the hips can draw the eye away from spots you aren't completely happy about, but really, try not to get caught in a swimsuit...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basReturn to the Golden Age of Hollywood and when a Pin Up had va-va-voom curves accentuated by swimsuits with flattering ruching and ample seat coverage. Fans of retro suits don't have to be curvy to enjoy this style: the gathering of fabric over the bust, the high-cut waist on the bottoms of a bikini, both can help create a more hourglass shape on boyish figures.

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basDear beach goddesses, we've been scouring swim trends to bring you our faves, but first we just had to hear from you on this very serious swim topic: Is donning an one-shoulder swimsuit a heavenly trend you'd try or is it one you'd rather see washed out to sea? So, nevermind how you feel about two vs. none, when it comes to bathing suit straps, how do feel about just one?
