Kim Kardashian has graciously offered some summer tips for everyone on her official website. Lucky us! Here are her words of wisdom:

Summer is almost here and you know what that means — time to get a new swimsuit!

Yay, I didn’t know it’s almost here!

A good-fitting swimsuit is hard find! For me I only like tie bottoms because its hard for me to find bottoms I like.

No sh*t, really?? What a shocker!

I also think one piece swim suits are great to wear with a long skirt. It makes an easy beach outfit. It is important to get your correct size and not try to squeeze into something that fits too tight! I really like Sassi Bikinis which I’m wearing in these photos.

Along with the perfect swimsuit, you must have…

1. Sunscreen is way more important than you think! You need it even if you aren’t going to the beach!

Wow, I always thought I could only get sunburned at the beach!

2. Accessories like big sunglasses, which not only shade you from the sun, but are fabulous when you have no make up on and want to hide a little bit!

Great tip eh?

3. A great pair of flip flops… my casual favorite are Havianas and for a little more dressy its Mystique sandals.

4. A beach cover up. My favorite is a sarong! It covers up the bottom half so you can walk around and not feel too naked, yet it doesn’t cover you up on top, so you still get a good tan.

OMG, I’m going to print this list out to take with me when I go shopping for my new bathing suit. Thank you Kim, you’re a genius!
