What Suit Suits Your Style?

Just like the outfit you wear, the shoes you buy, and the car you drive, the bathing suit you wear can tell a lot about what type of person you are and what your personal style is like. So whether you are the sporty type or prefer something more traditionally feminine we have the perfect suit for you. Since it is most likely that you are feminine one day and want to show off your wild side the next don't forget to check out the other categories for more style inspiration. We women are complex creatures and we can't be defined by just one title so why should we be confined to just one suit. Explore all of your varying moods and styles with suits to match! 

Feminine & Sweet

Are you most comfortable in dresses, delicate floral prints, and anything with lace? Then feminine & sweet is probably for you. Look towards suits that incorporate all of your favorite designs such as ruffles, bows, lace, and of course floral prints! Check out two of our favorite sweet suits from Agua Bendita and PilyQ Swim. 

Preppy & Classic

Next up is preppy and classic. Do you love layering a sweater over your favorite collared shirt? Never met a stripe you didn't like? Look for suits in neutral and solid dark colors as well as great classic stripes. Try these suits from Vitamin A and Despi!

Edgy & Sexy

Is your motto you can never wear too much black? Do you like to add a masculine element even to the most feminine of outfits? If this sounds like you try out these great suits from Vitamin A and PilyQ.

 Vintage & Retro

Do you find yourself rummaging through bins at garage sales and in your grandparents' attic? Is your favorite item of clothing something that has stood the test of time and been passed down through the generations? If so than these vintage inspired suits from Seafolly are for you!

 Sporty & Casual

Do you believe that sneakers can be worn with every outfit, literally. Do you find yourself wondering how could you live with out denim?

The Best Suits for your Shape: Apple

Apples are generally known for carrying the bulk of their weight in their chest and mid section. This is defined as your waist being wider than your hips and usually about as wide as your bust. This rounded upper body is what gives this body type the apple shape. Some of our favorite celebrities fall into this body shape such as Elizabeth Hurley, Jessica Simpson, and Tyra Banks.

 The same challenges that apply when finding clothes to fit your shape also occur when trying to find your perfect bathing suit.  With a few quick tips you can easily hide your problem areas and accentuate the positives. The best advice for all Apples is to enhance the chest and legs and try to minimize the midsection. The best way to down play your belly is by trying a one-piece suit with ruching along the midsection or center to give the illusion of a longer, slimmer torso. If bikinis are your preference look for bottoms with adjustable bands across the waist to help avoid muffin tops. Try deep v-cut tops such as halters and triangles which help flatter and support a larger bust while drawing the eyes attention away from your midsection. Also look to higher cut bottoms that help elongate your slim legs. Being an Apple shape should never stop you from looking your best. With these quick and easy tips finding the perfect suit for you is just a click away!

Bikini Outfit of the Day!

 

Our bikini outfit of the day was inspired by a day at sea. Whether you're out on your boat, a friend's, or renting while on vacation, this is the perfect outfit for boating fun. We starting out with this great Palm Strings Sirena Wrap Bikini from Vitamin A. This wrap around style provides great support which makes this an ideal suit for water activities as well as lounging around on deck. We paired this bikini with khaki shorts and a white cropped tank to give a cute, carefree look while docked on shore for lunch! The addition of this open crochet navy cardigan provides just enough warmth to keep you comfortable in the late afternoon as the sun sets and the wind starts cooling everything down. To finish off our look we added a delicate gold necklace, a pair of boat shoes, and Ciate London's Boudoir red nail polish to add a pop of color.  With our outfit complete we are finally ready to set sail!

A Perfect Pairing: AWB + Ciate London

 Everyone loves a perfect pairing, peanut butter and jelly, wine and cheese, or even Angelina and Brad. Well we are excited to introduce our newest pairing that might just become one of the greats. The moment that we have been waiting for has arrived, All Wet Beachwear and Ciate London. Nothing goes together better than a great nail polish with your favorite little bikini!

Ciate London, pronounced see-are-tey, was founded by Charlotte Knight and became famous the world over for their stunning caviar manicures. They have redefined and redesigned everything about your traditional nail polish. Starting from the inside out, they have amazing rich and vibrant pigmented colors that last. It has also been formulated for easy application and provides a smooth and even finish. The brush itself is a 250 bristle flat brush design with a long handle to provide the best strokes each time. The uniquely shaped bottle has an ergonomic design that sits better in your hand and allows for maximum control while applying. No present, even to yourself, would be complete without a small black satin bow.

The current collection is filled with so many unique colors you will have no problem finding the perfect shade to match all of your swimwear. Ciate London offers bright and bold, pretty and pastels, dark and dangerous, and I can't forget sparkles in every color! With so many option to choose from it's nearly impossible to pick just one. In addition to their nail polishes Ciate also offers manicure sets as well.  Cavier, neon glow in the dark, and flower manicures are other great ways to let your creative side run wild. Did I mention how delicious their nail polish removers smell??? I know what you're thinking, perhaps I shouldn't be sniffing nail polish remover. Perhaps you are right, but yet another great benefit about this brand is that the remover is acetone free! So as I was saying the Chocolate scented nail polish removers smells dangerously good!

As with everything we sell here at AWB we had to check out the product first hand and we are definitely pleased by the results. With spring finally here what better way to test our newest product and prepare for our bikini filled weekend ahead by painting our nails in one of their bright and rich colors. The results were amazing. The color is saturated and really holds up well over the course of the week. This color is going to be just the pop I am looking for to pair with our new Raja Embroidery Bandeau Bikini.

So while your picking out your next killer bikini check out Ciate London nail polish for the perfect finishing touch!

Almost Happy Hour Drink of the Day... Margarita

As another work week comes to an end, it is time to celebrate that the weekend is just beginning! With a long week like this one I need something reliable for my Almost Happy Hour Drink of the Day. My taste buds have been calling out for something tart yet refreshing. Inspired by PilyQ Barcelona's Caribbean Sea Zen Halter Bikini, what better way to quiet their screaming than with an old favorite, The Margarita. This tequila based beverage is the quintessential drink for relaxing under the palm trees, with you toes in the sand, and the ocean stretched out before you. Whether you're a frozen or on the rocks, salt or sugar rimmed, fill up some glasses and enjoy! 

Margarita Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 ounces tequila
• 1/2 ounce triple sec
• 1 ounce fresh lime juice

Pour the ingredients into a cocktail shaker with ice cubes. Shake well. Salt the rim, if desired, and pour the contents into a chilled margarita glass.

Garnish: Garnish with the lime wedge.

Glass:  Serve in a margarita glass.

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!
