How To: Transition Your Summer Dresses Into Your Fall Wardrobe

 

As the temperatures continue to drop and the seasons change, the vibrant red, yellow and orange leaves which just arrived will soon disappear. Just as the seasons transition so do our wardrobes. The time has come that we can no longer put off the inevitable and must embrace this new fall season. Depending on who you ask fall is just the precursor to winter while others enjoy it as a much needed respite from summer's heat when the air is finally cool and crisp and nature has selected new colors for our eyes to see. I definitely view fall closer to the latter. With its arrival I can finally start taking out my boots and warm, comfortable sweaters. The change in temperatures definitely requires me to pull out some of the warmer clothes I had to put away during the spring months.

While others have finished or are starting to pack up all of their favorite summer pieces, I find excitement in figuring out amazing ways to incorporate my favorite dresses throughout the season. My favorite summer dress can easily become my favorite fall dress with the addition of a jacket, scarf, and a great pair of boots. I never let the weather stop me from wearing what I love.  So this fall I urge all of you to stop packing up your summer clothes and try fun new ways to make summer last all year round!

Designer Spotlight: DESPI

With so many great swimwear collections out there it's sometimes hard to stand out in a crowd. Somehow Brazilian designer Despina Filios has not only managed to stand out, but stands heads above the rest.  Despi launched in 2007 and has been taking the world by storm. Her suits have been featured in some of the top fashion magazines around the world. Inspired by the vibrant life in Rio de Janeiro her collections reflect the color, style, and patterns that make Despi one of a kind. They are known for their playful, flirty and sophisticated style with exaggerated detail and embellishments such as leather, stones, crystal and beading. 

One of the things that Despi's loyal customers love about the brand is the coverage options they provide. Their suits come in both Full and Brazilian cut which really caters to the demands for a variety of options when it comes to coverage.

With such a wide variety of cuts and styles picking just one suit from their newest collection may be hard to do. So if you are struggling to decide I say buy them all! But let's just say that you are looking for one great option for now, I would definitely take a look at the amazing selection of one-pieces in this year's 2015 line. From sweetheart necklines, cut-outs and amazing patterns and embellishments these one-pieces will have you looking stunning all summer long. 

For us here at AWB Despi will always hold a special place in our hearts as it was the very first brand that we carried oh so many years ago. It has been amazing for us to watch their stylistic journey and to see their line evolve and change just as we have over the years. So enjoy a sneak peak of some of our new favorites from Despi 2015 and see why they are definitely a Designer to Love!

Fringe Benefits

Fringe is a huge trend in beachwear for 2012. Here are a few special pieces that incorporate the swinging accent.

LSpace Audrey Foxy Tab Bikini

This Halter top from LSpace ties at the neck. It is a great top for those looking to boost the look of their bust. The shape of the fringe elongates the torso and adds fullness to the bust. It comes in a hot citron shade and is paired with a cool print bottom.

Dolly Black Fringe Bandeau and Foxy Tab Bottom

A LBB (Little Black Bikini) is a very stylish look on the beach. In a past post, we profiled all of the celebs that prefer to wear a classic black bikini including Gisele and Demi Moore. The fringe on this bikini takes is from simple to sexy. We expect this to sell out fast! We also have it in white!

LSpace Ave Poncho in White

This cool cover-up incorporates two big trends right now ponchos and fringe. The wide sleeves and slouchy shape create a bohemian but modern silhouette. It will be a lot of fun to wear and super comfy too. This also comes in black.

LSpace Stardust Fringe 1 Piece in Teal

If a 1 piece is your thing, this is the fringe swimsuit for you. This has to be one of the hottest monokinis created this season. It has a deep V neckline which creates a nice long lean look while the fringe accent adds volume to the bustline. The cut-outs at the side provide the illusion of a perfect hourglass figure. This comes in dark teal and white.

Despi Athens Bourganville Bikini

For a more subtle hit of fringe try this Despi Athens Bikini. It features long fringe details on the ends of the string bikini bottom. It gives you the luxurious touch of fringe but without looking the least bit boho. This style also comes in a soft blue leopard print.

Summer 2011 Swimwear Trends

ANIMAL PRINTS:
Animal prints are a girl's best friend and this season is no exception. Sexy tiger print bikinis, chic python print and flirty leopard prints a the ways to go for Summer 2011. Kourtney Kardashian as been spotted recently in this tiger print bikini by Cia Maritima. Cool silver and white python print pieces are stunning. Leopard is a must-have as well.

LITTLE WHITE BIKINI:
Everyone should have at least 1 white bikini. They are classic, alluring and show off your tan. Designer swimwear is made with quality, triple lined materials to block any show through when wet so you can wear white without fear! Kim Kardashian's hot white two piece for Beach Bunny is a already a hit. This off-white bandeau from Despi has a more demure sexiness. 

CUT OUTS:
Carefully positioned cut outs are great problem solvers and turn a traditional one piece into a fashion statement. Side cut outs mimic an hour-glass shape and create the illusion of curves, great for boyish shapes.  Symmetric and Asymmetric cut out styles will break up long lines, perfect if you a have a long torso. A deep V neckline will draw the eye up and away from problem areas.

FRINGE:
Fringe has been a feature on our accessories for a few seasons but a few ingenious swimwear designers have figured out how to bring the trend to swimwear. The Stardust Fringe Bikinis and One Pieces from Lspace are both hip and flattering. 

This year say no to blah bikinis! Shop stylish swimwear on All Wet Beachwear.
