The Wonderful World of Intimates!

We are expanding our All Wet Beachwear portfolio to now include the wonderful world of Intimate!

When we decided to go into lingerie, it was because lingerie truly enabled us to discover our customers needs outside of swimwear. At its most powerful, lingerie can allow you to dress as the person you are that day, at that very moment – even if no one else sees that person except you! 

Increase the Life Span of your Bras, with these few important tips!

Bras are the foundation of any outfit, so it’s important to treat them with care. A good quality bra should last 8-12 months. You should have at least 4-6 everyday bras in your collection. It is recommended that you wash your bra every 2-3 wears, depending on the level of activity and personal hygiene. Sports bras should be washed after each use.

1. Hand wash your bras using a mild detergent. If you machine wash your bras, always us the delicate or hand wash cycle and fasten the hooks. Avoid bleach, hot water and harsh detergents.
2. Rinse in cold water to restore the shape and elasticity.
3. Air dry your bras whenever possible,  the heat of the dryer will damage the elasticity.
4. When bras are in drawers, fold them carefully to prevent snagging.
5. Don’t turn them inside out because it creates unsightly dimples that can become visible under clothing.

Travel Tips for Lingerie

1. When traveling, fasten hooks and use lingerie travel bags.
2. Place socks or panties in the padded cups to avoid damaging them when traveling.

Compliment Any Look with Electric Picks Jewelry

When searching for new brands and new products for AWB it's not always as easy as it looks. So on our last buying trip during Miami Swimweek we discovered a brand that could compliment any beach to boardwalk look!

Electric Picks has a unique aesthetic, combining the worlds of music + fashion.  The New York City based brand aims to translate the excitement and glamour of music into jewelry form utilizing guitar picks and taking inspiration from music festivals around the world.

The brand is co-owned by best friends Mj Barton & Chantel Gia.  One night after a concert in Miami, Mj had a dream to punch holes in the guitar pick souvenir she'd gotten that night.  Soon friends & family wanted her to make their guitar picks into bracelets as well, and Electric Picks was born.

The guitar picks are all either custom or vintage. Mj & Chantel love to scour vintage stores for inspiration. Using materials from their travels all around the world (Istanbul, Athens, Barcelona, Morocco, Thailand, Paris, India etc) they mix gemstones, fine metals, and authentic guitar picks to create looks that aspire to be as timeless as music is.

Electric Picks has been spotted in the pages of Cosmo, People Stylewatch, Self, and Lucky and on the wrists of Sophia Vergara, Vanessa Hudgens, and Britney Spears.

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.

A Blast From the Past: Retro Style Swimwear

 Retro bathing suits are back in a big way. No matter if it's the 40's, 50's or 60's styles that appeal to you, AWB has all the vintage inspired suits you are looking for. What makes these modern suits so great is the way they have seamlessly merged the old in with the new.

 

One-piece suits once were the standard in fashionable swimwear. The addition of thin straps or a halter strap as seen above were popular of the times. These suits are given a modern twist with their high cuts and ruched detailing.

   

Looking for something a little more wild, look for one-pieces with great prints. It's all about the animal, floral and geometric patterns. Sweetheart, bandeau, and plunging necklines all add retro inspired touches.

Are bikinis more your thing? Well we have plenty of great options for you as well. From classic florals to funky prints these bikinis are anything but old. What gives these suits that old time feel is all in the details. Look for suits with ruffles, ties, and structure. Boning and support were all the rage back then so look to suits that can create that illusion. Try out this high waisted geometric print bandeau bikini above. This definitely isn't your grandmother's suit!

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.
