It's pretty much springtime, and you know what that means -- spring break is right around the corner and so is bikini season!

Kim Kardashian was recently spotting frolicking in the sun with boyfriend Reggie Bush down in the Dominican Republic, and I have to admit that while she may not be a style icon she certainly knows how to rock a bikini. I think most people don't like Kim's fashion sense mostly because she makes even the most demure outfit look absolutely obscene. Her curves are too much for the way she dresses in real life. But, beach life is another story. Kim knows how to make that hourglass figure work to her advantage.

So here are five tips on how to work a bikini like Kim K.

• Flaunt your best assets. Kim almost always uses cute little beach wraps to hide her rear end. But she makes sure not to cover up her great flat stomach. Do you have nice legs? Buy a high cut bikini bottom to make them look even longer. Good cleavage? Get a bikini top with push up bra like powers and work it!
• Cover up any body part you might not be comfortable with. If you're uncomfortable showing too much skin, a tankini might be the suit for you. If you don't love your legs, lots of bikini bottoms come with cute little skirts. And if you feel your badonkadonk is a little too badonky, cover it up with a stylish wrap like Kim.

• Stay glam. It's the beach, so you don't need to go all out with your makeup. But, some big oversized sunglasses will up the level of intrigue. And leave your hair down to go for that sexy wind tousled look.
• Go easy on the accessories. You don't want to overdo it with jewelry while you're on the beach. Especially since it's way too easy to lose a ring while you're swimming in the ocean. But you can still spruce up your look with fun totes, big hats, sandals or even just a funky patterned towel.
• Own it! Confidence is key. The beach is your runway. Stroll the sand standing up straight, no hiding behind a towel! Keep your head up, smile and make eye contact with any cute guy you see. Then just wait for the magic to happen.
