If anyone knows about finding the perfect swimsuit, it’s got to be Kim Kardashian. But the reality star admits that bikini shopping is a challenge even for her — especially since she’ll only wear tie-bottoms. To make swimsuit season a little less stressful for her fans, Kim has posted her foolproof bikini guide on the official Kim Kardashian site. Among her top tips is making sure to get the correct size suit — rather than trying to squeeze into one that’s too small. And she loves the flattering cut of Ed Hardy’s new swimsuit line and bikinis by Sassi, just like the purple ruffled one she’s wearing here. Besides just getting the perfect suit, Kim recommends wearing big sunglasses, flip flops, a sarong and — of course — sunscreen! Check out all Kim’s bikini tips at officialkimkardashian.com. Tell us: What are some of your favorite bikini tips?

Jenny McCarthy was recently spotted enjoying a gorgeous Hawaiian sunset while vacationing with boyfriend Jim Carrey. While we have given up all hope of ever looking that toned and fit in a bikini, we did totally want her cute halter top and ruched boyshorts! Turns out that they are from celeb-fave Lisa Curran, who is known for her flattering cuts for those of us with less than Jenny-perfect bodies.

With hemlines higher than ever, we are constantly worrying about keeping ourselves decent when sitting on the subway or walking on a breezy day. Luckily, there are more adorable boyshorts than ever to keep ourselves covered, comfy and cute!

To avoid a peek-a-boo panic, put away the thong and try something with a little more coverage and an invisible fit, like the Hanky Panky Stretch Lace Boy Pant, $32, at shopbop.com.

Want some pizzazz? The contrasting colors of the Mesh Boyshort by OnGossamer, $16, at barenecessities.com are so cute, it’s no wonder that Hayden Panettiere and Kristen Bell are already fans of the line!

The frilly fabric of Honeydew Intimates’ Mesh Gingham Rumba Short , $16, at shophoneydew.com is a sweet summer option in six candy colors. You can also pick up the popular style in prints like hearts or skulls! Drew Barrymore and Eva Longoria love wearing Honeydew Intimates’ styles.

And we love the Stretch Cotton Girlshort, $9, from Gap.com and Forever 21’s Antoinette Boyshort, $5, for style with a slim price tag!

Everyone needs a great beach bag for the summer, but how much do you really want to spend on something that’s going to get wet and sandy? Only heiresses need $2,250 beach bag — the rest of us are better off with something for way less. We scoured the web for bags that are stylish, functional and affordable and more importantly, $25 or less! Start clicking to find the perfect one for you.

1. Straw totes are lightweight and easy to clean up. Pick up New York & Company’s bucket tote , $15, or this adorable woven sea grass carryall with scarf detailing, $25, from the Gap.
