Have you been daydreaming about relaxing on a beach with a daiquiri in hand, soaking up the summer sun and the salt water? Or do you want to play poolside or spend the day staring at the crystal waters from aboard a yacht? No matter how you get your hot weather fix, I'm digging up the swim styles to get you ready. It's Swim 2010!
The first look is the perfect mix of cute and retro. You can go with the classic bandeau-style top or the more modern monokini. It's adorable paired with the pair of brightly-framed sunglasses. And check out these shades more closely. They have a tiny cherry print on them! The yellow wedges blend perfectly in this sweet retro look. Throw on this loosely fitting dolman-sleeve coverup that's so spot on for this look, even the name of the shade has a food reference: "Orange Spice."
Sweet as Pie
Clockwise from Left:
Cherry Print Sunglasses, $11.99
(Deal of the Day) Pear Print Monokini (yellow or orange), $21.80
Patent Yellow Peep-Toe Wedge, $20.50
Dolman Sleeve Cover-up Top, Reg $29 / Sale $19 (Special: Buy 2 or more coverups, save $4 each)
If you want something a little less cute, and a little sexier, check out this glam look. Big Bonus: these suits are part of the ShapeFX line, meaning they are FIGURE FLATTERING and help HIDE THOSE TROUBLE SPOTS. Oh yeah, I thought that was worthy of all caps. Yet the thing I love most about them, is that they still don't lose their sex appeal. Check out the corset-style sides and hot pink color (also available in black) of the one-piece. You'd never guess that has a "power-mesh" lining to help hide those few extra pounds. The cut of that bikini gives you more coverage than many of the season's styles, plus it features the same "power-mesh" lining to flatter your hips and bum. That's never a bad thing.
With such a sleek look to these suits, add a little bling to your look with some show-off sandals. I love the ones with the zipper-detail (they're already packed in my suitcase!). And of course you need a pair of shades that can keep up. These silver-framed, purple-lensed pair are hard to beat at less than $12.
