Martin + Osa Halter One Piece Bathing Suit
Monday, June 30th, 2008
A recipe to feel like a movie starlet at the beach is very simple. You’ll need perfectly styled hair (pinned up or down optional), bright red lipstick to reflect off the sand and sun, and of course the 1950’s pinup girl bathing suit. Teeny, tiny bikinis didn’t make their debut til’ decades later, so steer clear of the nearly not there suit and opt for a more covering and cool number. We fell in love with this Martin + Osa Halter One Piece Bathing Suit, which not only looks stunning off, but looks and feels stunning on. Flatter your waistline, legs and chest all with this one suit! Toss on a pair of large sunglasse frames and wow that crowd this summer like a true Jean Harlow or Marilyn Monroe.

Essential Key-Hole One Piece from The Gap
Thursday, June 5th, 2008
We aren’t all 18 anymore, our bodies change with age and we need a more flattering suit for being older and wiser (of course!). One piece bathing suits make their gallant return this season, with lots of styles, colors and options to choose from. We especially liked this Essential Key-Hole One Piece from The Gap, and with their 25% off all GapBody women’s regularly priced women’s swimwear sale, this suit comes via true shopping fate! Coming in many colors and prints, we found the polka-dot one piece to be simply darling. It is tied around the neck and offers a higher leg, to make legs look slimmer and more elongated. It is all about illusions as time passes us by. Wear this suit with a very simple white, large rimmed straw hat to easily finish off your “yachting on the Riviera” look.

Friday, May 30th, 2008
Bathing suit season isn’t exactly everyones idea of summer fun, but now that times have changed and there are plenty of different suit styles to choose from, people can celebrate their body and start exposing some skin! Gap is featuring a 25% off swim wear sale, currently going on now, and there are many selections to choose from for each and every body type! For those of us that falter in the stomach and hip area, it is highly recommended that you purchase what is called the “Tankini” style. We absolutely love the gold shimmer to this Shiny Tankini. It has a halter tie around the neck, removable cups and reveals a little, without revealing too, too much! If gold is too daring for your taste, there are other shimmery shades that is available in this stunning suit.

The Perfect Bathing Suit For Your Body
Thursday, May 31st, 2007Memorial Day Weekend kicked off the official start to bathing suit season. Ladies, we know how difficult it is to find the perfect bathing suit that looks great on your body but is also stylish and trendy. After all, we all have unique body features that should be flaunted and some that might be best to keep to the imagination. That is why we have come to the rescue with our bathing suit recommendations for each individual body type. We have broken it down to let you know what style suits look best and where to get them. So check out our picks and let us know if you have any suggestions based on your own personal experiences. Happy Vacationing!
Pear Shaped
Too much junk in the trunk this summer? Lane Bryant’s Oceanus Miraclesuit can take care of all that. If your problem area happens to be your tummy, hips and thighs; this suit is the ideal match. Pear-shaped women need to go for a suit that offers an empire waist, long line seams and a great fabric to slim each of these areas with the slightest of ease. A suit that also offers lift for more cleavage is also a plus, allowing the attention to be brought north of the problem areas. $132.00
Apple Shaped
In need of a little “hide,” without the seek? This Land’s End Solid Ruched Princess Side Seam Tankini is just what you and your waist have been waiting for. It offers a ruched material along the tummy to give you a more flattering effect to accentuate what you want and hide what you don’t. Any suit that offers a “hidden” effect of the tummy is a must-have this summer! $79.00
Small Bust
What works the best for a girl who doesn’t have much to begin with? This Very Sexy bikini from Victoria’s Secret comes with a push-up bra-like top that offers any gal the right amount of cleavage. Push-up tops, such as this one, and those that tie or can be adjusted around the neck seem to work best for smaller chested women; allowing for a little push and pull where it’s needed most. $64.00
Busty
Full coverage is what you need if you are fortunate enough to be blessed with a larger chest. This Juicy Couture Beach Stripe Halter Bikini Top, available at Nordstrom, offers coverage across the chest and a tied halter around the neck and back which is ideal when having to adjust and support. A larger chested gal never wants to buy a suit that comes with clasps or with string ties. These both offer little to no support and cover very little. $136.00
Long Legs
Not all of us have legs that stretch to Sunday, but for those of us that do, we need a swimsuit that isn’t going to cut off any of that gorgeous length! Betsey Johnson’s Here Kitty Hipster Bottoms are the perfect example of what to wear when you have some long stems. Hipster or boy short bottoms are the way to go because they allow for legs to look perfect without cutting into your middle. A higher cut suit would only elongate them even more and therefore cutting off your torso. So make sure that your suit lies low on your hips, because if one thing never goes out of style, it’s long legs! $136.00
Petite
“Stretch” out your look this summer! High-cut thigh suits are for those of us that are built on the more petite side. Ralph Lauren offers this Joelle One-Piece in a very fun, exotic print. The halter neckline and low scoop back offers enough support for the smallest of gals and the high-cut thigh elongates the legs to give the illusion of lengthier, more luxurious legs. $215.00
