Bikini Outfit of the Day: Glamorous Gunmetal

Our bikini outfit of the day was inspired by this sultry strapless one piece from PilyQ Barcelona. Its gunmetal metallic neoprene fabric is the perfect balance of shine and sophistication. But what we love most of all about this suit is the back! We can't get enough of this sexy cross-cross strap back detailing. As if that wasn't enough the ruched bottom adds a flirty touch to this moderate cut suit.

We paired this inspirational one piece with all of our favorite silver pieces. A lightweight sweater and printed shorts are a fun and easy way to create a polished look. Pair this with some great multicolored grey studs, chrome colored sunglasses and a sleek watch. Lastly finish off the look with a great structured bag and some classic sandals.

Bikini Outfit of the Day: Surf's Up:

I hate to even say it out loud but the end of summer is coming all too soon. With that thought lingering in the back of our minds there is no time left to waste. If you haven't already tried one of the many water activities that make summer great, such as surfing, kayaking, stand up paddle boarding, or snorkeling, it's not too late. Get out there and try any/all of these amazing ways to spend the day in the water. They are all great ways to explore, exercise and enjoy a bit of adventure.

Most of these activities range from mild to incredibly active so finding the proper suit is important. We always like to find the perfect balance between functional and fashionable when it comes to swimwear. With so many great brands creating their own line of active swimwear finding the right suit for you has never been easier. For our bikini outfit of the day we've selected a bikini and rash guard from Luli Fama's 2015 collection. The rash guard is functional and provides coverage from the sun. The mesh inserts in contrasting colors really help to make this garment pop. Paired with full coverage hipster bottoms which are great for staying in place while in motion. The same mesh inserts can be found on the bottoms which give a sexy touch to a simple design. We paired our outfit with classic staples for anyone out and about in the water. An easy, carefree backpack is a great way to carry all of your necessities including sunscreen, water and a change of clothes. The black board shorts work great with the mint and black rash guard and have a pop of color in the drawstring. We finished off the look with classic flip flops, waterproof watch, sport sunglasses, and a woven bracelet.

Now that we have all of our supplies it's time to hit the water!

Bikini Outfit of the Day: Little Black Bikini

It has been a well known secret of women that black makes us look thinner, and for all intents and purposes this is true. The concept that all black, or all dark colors, makes us appear thinner is for a multitude of reasons. It creates a monochromatic streamline for the eye which isn't broken up by other colors, making you appear longer and thinner. Dark colors also help to hide any bunching or curves in the fabric which would be more visible in lighter colors. When wearing black these imperfections are more difficult to see and therefore creates a more slimming look. The same is true when it comes to a Little Black Bikini (LBB). It helps to hide some of our flaws and always creates a sophisticated, put together look. Below we have selected our favorite LBB for each body shape. By selecting a style that flatters your body type and adds in the slimming effect of dark solid colors, these looks are sure to become your go to LBB.

Bikini Outfit of The Day: White Hot!

With Summer finally here, what better way to show off your tan skin than in a white hot outfit. Everyone knows that wearing white makes your tan pop so we are showing you the best way to wear an all white outfit. This look is perfect for hanging out by the pool, shopping, or meeting up with friends for dinner by the beach.

When we say all white we mean just that, but don't get carried away with trying to match all of your whites. Look for varying shades to add dimension to the outfit. For this look we started with one of our favorite white bikinis, the PilyQ Barcelona Water Lily Bikini. This suit features tie side bottoms and laser cutout detailing. Next we selected a classic short that is casual enough to wear during the day but provides enough structure that they can easily be transitioned into night should the occasion allow. We paired this with a lace tank to add a little feminine touch and a white and gold statement necklace. Finishing off the look is a white and gold cross body bag, neutral colored sandals, sparkling white nail polish, and the perfect pair of sunglasses.

It's bright red with a multi colored trim which reminded us of the sweet and refreshing colors of the Lava Flow. This bikini real turns up the heat and this is the perfect drink to help you stay cool!

Lava Flow Ingredients:

1 small chunk pineapple, for garnish

Blend rum, pineapple juice, and pina colada mix with 1 cup of ice. Next, take a glass and coat the inside with strawberry puree. Pour in colada blend. Finally, use a spoon to drag the strawberry puree up through the colada drink, creating a pink stripe. Garnish with a pineapple chunk, and serve.

Bikini Outfit Of the Day!

As the weather is slowly warming up we can't help but get excited over the much anticipated arrival of summer! With Memorial Day slowly coming around the corner I just couldn't wait any more to start up with our Bikini Outfit of the Day.

What better way to show off your soon to be tan skin than in this sexy white triangle bikini. This suit is one of the many great new pieces in the PilyQ Barcelona's new Summer 2014 collection. Multicolored embroidery detailing adds a flirtatious touch to this classic white bikini. With the option of Full or Brazilian cut coverage this is the perfect suit for everyone.

However, what is a suit without some amazing accessories? My personal favorite pairing is Ciate London's Halo nail polish. It's a beautiful pearlized white color that will help bring out the bright colors of the suit and will compliment your sun kissed skin tone. The best part about this color is that it can be applied lightly for a translucent sheen or in multiple coats for a mesmerizing iridescent pearl effect.
Slip on these David Yurman braided bracelets and some gold toned Ray-Ban Aviators for a cool and easy addition. We finished off this look with a Michael Kors tote in a neutral color that has plenty of space for all your beach day necessities!
