The Seasons Must Have Silhouette!

The Season Must Have Silhouette: Say YES to Wearing Off-the-Shoulder Tops or Strapless Swimwear. The shoulder-baring look has officially crossed the clavicle to go from trend of the moment to wardrobe mainstay. 

Luli Fama Wanted and Wild Lacey Underwire Bikini

Here’s everything you need to know to master this seasons must-have. 

Freeing those shoulders means introducing a few new steps to your regimen:

Go for the glow with a dusting bronzer over your collarbone to play up beachy, off-the-shoulder styles for day, or sweep on a superfine, shimmery highlighter after the sun sets to embody all-out evening/ boardwalk glam.

Apply—and reapply!—sunscreen to exposed shoulders to avoid the fashion-girl take on the dreaded farmer’s tan, but skip body lotions and oils that can cause your strapless bra or swimwear to slide down.

With a silhouette this statement-making, bold accessories help balance out your major look-at-me moment! Don't be understated this time—go big or go home with earrings like oversized hoops, colorful dusters that frame the face while teasingly sweeping bare shoulders.

Are You Red Carpet Ready?

While watching our favorite celebrities constantly being photographed on the red carpet it's hard not to be inspired by the amazing styles they wear. We decided to take our top 3 red carpet must haves and use them as our inspiration in selecting 3 sand carpet ready suits that are equally worth a strut down the runway.

'Orange is the New Black' star Taylor Schilling stuns in a long sleeve black and gold sequined striped dress by Sachin & Babi. Although she has clearly proven that she can look amazing even in an orange jumpsuit, the stunning dress has inspired us to find a suit that is equally show stopping. This sheer one piece is a slinky and sexy crochet over a metallic gold. Is your suit close up ready?

Kerry Washington looks absolutely scandalous in this Alexander McQueen green dress. The PilyQ mint green bikini takes all of our favortie parts of this dress and makes it beach time ready. I don't know what I'm more excited about, this fun and sexy bikini or the upcoming season premiere of 'Scandal'. I think it's a tie!

Julianne Moore is the epitome of sleek sophistication in this black and white outfit from Ralph Lauren Collection. Her effortless style inspired us to try this black and white geo print triangle bikini. If Julianne's classic chic look is for you try out this elegant bikini for a polished look even while out in the sun.

Something Lost Along The Way

This weekend I had the chance to catch up with some old friends. Due to time and geographical distances we don't get to see each other as much as we would like but we try to keep in touch and current on what is going on in each other's lives as much as possible. It's hard to believe but within the blink of an eye I realized that we have been friends for nearly 10 years. It seems like we just met and here we are 10 years later. So we finally made plans to meet up so that I can meet her new baby. We met at a little place right near the ocean to chat and reminisce about the past (the good old days if you will). So after a quick bite to eat we walked across the street to the beach. Unknown to me at the time but this was her baby's first trip to the beach. As a baby, it isn't that unrealistic to imagine that she has never seen the ocean but as someone who doesn't have children the fact that everything is a first to her never crossed my mind.

 So as we approached the sand and water I was fascinated to watch her approach this unknown experience with such wonder and excitement. As she dug in the sand and watched the waves crash upon the shore her carefree attitude and complete joy at such a simple occurrence made me long for a time when I felt that way. As adults we lose this childish sense of excitement and adventure. As we spent the day building castles and just enjoying our time in the sun and sand I thought how amazing it must feel to experience the ocean for the first time. So with that thought in mind I challenge each and every one of you to try an activity you have never done before or to reacquaint yourself with something you do all the time, such as going to the beach. Look to the simple pleasures of your experience and try to view it through your inner child's eyes. How does it affect your mood, your perspective, your fun? Let us know what you did to reconnect with your youth?

How to Win: Bikini vs. Bloat

Finally the time has come and your vacation is here. You've planned, saved, and even went on a diet. All this in preparation for your trip to an exotic location where you intend to spend every minute lounging in the sun with a suitcase full of nothing but swimwear. So there is nothing more disappointing than when you wake up on a beautiful day, in a tropical setting only to find that you feel like a bloated mess. What happened? What went wrong? The fact of the matter is, you have probably brought this feeling upon yourself. Think back, think back hard if necessary. What did you eat an hour ago, 5 hours ago, yesterday? What you eat can have a positive or negative effect on how your body feels. I don't know about you but when I don't feel great the last thing I want to do is squeeze into a tiny bikini. But don't worry there's still hope. With a little planning and savvy eating you can feel your best come beach time. Here are our tips of what to steer clear of to help avoid the bloat.

Not all healthy foods are your friends right now. Healthy eating is one of the keys to staying in shape. However some of our favorite good for you foods are the same ones we want to avoid come vacation time. Keep a close eye on foods that are known to cause gas. While broccoli, cabbage, cucumbers and brussel sprouts are all amazingly nutritious and help you fit into your bikini long term, short term you may want to skip them the day before or day of to avoid any discomfort while trying to relax.

Say so long to salt. While enjoying your trip try to get your salt intake from the ocean, not from your food. Sodium heavy foods can cause you to retain water which leads to that bloated feeling that can put a damper on the best of days. No need to cut out salt entirely, just be careful not to over do it.

Skip the bubbles. We aren't talking just champagne. Anything that is carbonated creates gas which can build up in the stomach and cause bloating. For a few days it's best to say goodbye to sodas and sparkling water.

These are just a few quick tips on what to avoid before and during your trip. Never let that bloated feeling keep you from killing it in your favorite bikini. Enjoy your travels!

Say It Isn't So!

We are bummed. Really freakin’ bummed. Why? Because summer is almost officially over and for many of us this traditionally means your bikinis have to find a home in your closet for the winter. If you don't live in Florida, the Caribbean, or any other sub-tropical climate the day you have most likely been dreading is almost here. Whatever will you do? Don't start packing away your suits just yet. The good news is, just because summer is coming to an end there are still great ways to transition your favorite suits into your fall wardrobe. Try wearing your favorite bandeau top under a long sleeve button up shirt or underneath your favorite denim jacket along with a high waisted skirt or pants. Add a pop of color to your fall outfits with a triangle bikini top layered with a crochet tank or pullover. Looking for a little more coverage take your one-piece suit out for a spin under a great pair of jeans and layer with an open jacket. 

Loving the idea of keeping your swimwear in rotation all year round? Then we have even more good news for you. Use the coupon code: LABORDAY to take an extra 15% off sale items. Shop great wardrobe staples like the styles below and more HERE. 

So don't cry that summer is coming to an end, get excited because fall is on its way!
