Teen Girls Swim Suits
Fitting Tips
Boys
Swimsuit fitting for boys is also easily accomplished. Depending on the style selected, the suit will either ride around the waist or the hips. To have your bases covered, measure around both before you shop so you'll know your size no matter which style is chosen.
Girls
Few creatures on the planet are as self-conscious about their bodies as teenage girls. Some burst into puberty early while others are left waiting in the wings. Take measurements around the widest point of the bust and hips, and a waist measurement as well. This will prepare you to select a size in every style available. Be aware that sizes vary from one manufacturer to the next, so refer to each brand's sizing chart to see which size most closely matches your measurements.
Here are a few extra tips to help pick out teens swimsuits for every stage of development.
* To enhance a smaller bust, choose teens swimsuits with ruffles over the chest area. This adds a bit of fullness without resorting to inserts.
* To de-emphasize a full bust, choose halter style tops that help the bust appear smaller.
* To add curves to a boyish figure, select teens swimsuits with flared skirts or ruffles around the hips. Pair one up with a ruffled top and go from boyish to babe-like instantly.
* To de-emphasize larger hips, choose suits that draw the attention upward. Lighter prints on top, and solid darker bottoms will work nicely together.
* To to hide a larger waistline, choose a tankini swimsuit that takes the emphasis off the tummy. A one piece with a belt will also help create more of a waistline.
Swim Finder
Lands' End has a nifty web page that can help teens find the best style of suit to compliment their body shape. The Swim Finder allows you to search for suits in three different ways.
Suit Sorter
The Suit Sorter allows you to view suit styles by choosing components from three categories:
* Suit Style
* Bra Style
* Leg Height
Once you've made your choices, click on the "Find It" link and view swimsuits with the features you want most.
Body Shapes
Choose the body shape that most closely matches yours, and you will be shown a variety of suits that are designed to enhance and flatter your figure.
Anxiety Zones
Choose the part of your body that causes you the most anxiety; bust, waist, or hips and thighs. The selector will show you suits that will either enhance or camouflage those problem areas as needed.

Young Baby Clothes
one-piece baby clothing is an innovative childrenswear idea that combines the convenience and practicality of a one-piece romper and the richness and style versatility of layered baby clothes. Can infant wear be unique and inventive, solving common problems like twisting and riding up? Yes it can!
Can baby clothes offer the stylish look of separates, and have the ease and convenience of a one-piece?
It can if it’s Stylease.
Stylease isn’t your ordinary baby clothing. Through its patented concept, Stylease brand one-piece infant wear offers parents a wide range of styles and looks associated with separates. And yet, its design is so ingenious, it’s hard to tell that Stylease is really all one piece.
What is easy to see, is the way Stylease outfits give parents the best value, practicality and style available.
It’s Mom-Invented!
Stylease is a mom-invented product developed by Jennifer Hughes. She hatched the idea out of frustration with not finding clothes for her toddlers that could be both stylish and practical. Once created, it didn’t take long to see that parents worldwide shared her frustration – and impatience – for a solution.
Because it creates the look of different tops and bottoms in its one-piece clothing, Stylease infant wear lets parents dress their babies in more expressive and stylish outfits without the inconveniences associated with separates, like twisting and bunching-up.
Practicality Not Possible with Separates
Parents who like the look of traditional separates agree; they’re simply not practical on a young baby. Stylease is. Because Stylease baby wear is really one piece, it gives parents style with one-piece practicality.
Our outfits are designed to either open to the waist down the front and / or have hidden access features, making it easy to dress your baby from the bottom up. There are also snaps, zippers or other closures in the crotch of all our styles for easy diaper changes.

How to Lower your Tuition Fee
1.
Step 1
Attend community college. This is an unsung hero of lowering college tuition. Students can attend during the summer, as part of their high school curriculum, or during traditional semesters before transferring to a four-year university. Through careful planning, you can maximize the number of credits that will transfer to another school. These credits are often much cheaper than credits earned from a university.
2.
Step 2
Explore the internet for information on particular community college programs. For instance, Houston Community College allows high school juniors and seniors to enroll in academic courses if they have satisfactory grades. If the student then plans to stay in state to attend a four-year university, the transfer process is relatively easy. It also lowers college tuition costs.
3.
Step 3
Try independent study. The internet has made college classes more accessible through independent study. However, shop around. The price charged per credit can vary widely. This option is great for those who are unable to drive.
4.
Step 4
Do an exchange with a local university. Did you know that qualified students in the Boston area can go to the Harvard Extension School and even receive a scholarship if their family income is below a certain level? In Georgia, the Accel program completely covers the cost for Core classes taken during high school. Programs like these lower college tuition costs over the long term.
5.
Step 5
Talk with guidance counselors and local university admissions offices to see what benefits are available to high school students in your area. Don't be shy to shop around. Lowering college tuition costs is a laudable goal!

Zero Percent Financing on Chrysler
DETROIT — Chrysler Group LLC said Tuesday it will offer zero-percent financing on most 2010 model year vehicles through June 1.
The deals are similar to offers Chrysler had in April. They're intended to help Chrysler compete with Toyota Motor Corp., which has extended its own zero-percent financing deals through June 1.
Toyota raised its incentives in March to lure back customers after recalling millions of vehicles for safety problems. That forced its competitors to offer their own deals. Toyota first extended the deals through April and now has extended them again.
Automakers have been trying to control incentives, which eat into profits and can hurt a brand's image. Chrysler had the highest incentives in the industry in April, at $3,374 per vehicle, according to Edmunds.com. But that was $1,000 lower than the automaker spent last April, when the market was at a 30-year low.
