Solid Black Swimwear a Celeb Classic

There is one swimwear look we see on celebrities time and time again: the little black bikini. It is stylist, its slimming it looks great in any location on every body

Gisele, the supernodel known for her beach bod, wears a simple black swimsuit.

France's first lady and former model Carla Bruni, it doesn't get more chic than that. 

Fashion icon Demi Moore also wears a black bikini.

Try this Classic Black Bikini from Caffe. It has adjustable cups and small turquoise hardware.

If you prefer a 1 piece the Despi Kalahari One Piece is a beautiful one piece in solid back with a plunging V neckline.

The new collection from Luli Fama for 2012 is titled "La Vida es un Carnaval." Inspired by the fun-filled street carnivals in Havana, the styles are sultry, playful yet sweet. Vibrant colors and high impact embellishments including crystals and gold hardware are eye-popping.

The strappy Luli Fama Muy Calliente V-Ring Bandeau bikini this sexy style has captures the bondage trend that is so hot right now in lingerie and sportswear.

Celeb Swim Style

Mom-to-be Beyonce isn’t shy about her baby bump. She sunned her tummy in Croatia in a white ruffled two piece. We could also see her in this more colorful floral number the Bendita Munich from Agua Bendita.

 

Rhianna likes edgy swimsuits and is often seen in animal prints, neon and neutral tones. She was spotted this August in this strappy number. An even sexier, strappy two-piece would be the Muy Caliente V Bring Bandeau from Luli Fama. 

No one looked hotter on the red carpet at the Emmy's this past Sunday than Sofia Vergara. She looks best on Modern Family in rich jewel tones and curve hugging silhouettes. A tube style bikini top with adjustable cups like the Despi Copacabana in this rich purple shade would be a stunner on her figure.

Kim Kardashian lives in swimwear or at least that is what one would gather from the tabloid coverage of her. This week she is on the cover of US Weekly in an Aqua Vix Bia Tube Bikini. This tube style Classic Black Bikini from Caffe has luxurious turquoise hardware and would look great paired with her cover-up.  

 

 

Katie Holmes has become a bit of a fashion icon since becoming Mrs. Tom Cruise but she still retains her girl next door style which helped her earn stardom. She would want a classic cut and often wears stripes. For her, we like the new Luli Fama Isla Bonita Bikini.

Fall in Love with the 2012 Collection from Agua Bendita

We have added the 2012 styles from Colombian swimwear designer Agua Bendita to our website. The new collection is titled One World and takes you on a trip around the globe drawing inspiration from countries from Thailand to Venezuela to Bali.

The look book shot with supermodel Bar Refaeli and breakout Dutch runway star Rianne Ten Hake presents a 2012 collection that is sexy and fashion forward.

Each bikini, which is hand-crafted like a couture garment, has accents and details that you will not find on any other brand.

Highlights of the collection include:

Fringe, fringe and more fringe! Bikinis with layers of fabric and beaded fringe like the Bendita Lima, Bendita La Rochelle and the Bendita Zimbabwe are sure to go fast.

Glittering crystal and beaded embellishments like on the Bendita Niza and Bendita Mecca create a shimmering, luxurious effect in the sun.

Fabric ruffles on tops and bottom of bikinis like the Bendita Barcelona and the Bendita Munich add dimension and create a silhouette that bridges the gap between swimwear and fashion.

Fun, quirky prints and appliques such as guitars on the Bendita Hawaii and figurines on the Bendita Pekin are whimsical and edgy.

AWB dishes with Bathing News Blogger Tala Kolb

Bathing News is one of the best swimwear blogs out there and the beauty behind the blog is Tala Kolb. AWB was happy to get a chance to dish with a swim lover like Tala. We found out what she looks for in a bikini to what she is excited to see coming in 2012. 

AWB: Your blog is filled with pages and pages of inspirational images from editorial shoots in magazines and swim campaigns, what types of images are you drawn to?

Tala: I'm drawn to anything magical and bikini related of course, lots of colors, high fashion, earthy, ethereal, dreamy things that remind me of anything fun and sunny, beach and travel related. Something that makes me say wow and "that designer 'gets' it." Things that remind me of mermaids under or over the water. Things that i'd love to wear prancing around with a sparkly ice cream cone, no matter if its just down to the beach, grocery store, or on a tropical vacay.

AWB: Can you give us an approximation of how many swimsuits you own?? :-)

Tala: I wish I could, but, I'd have to stop blogging for a couple days to go through it all and count. Let just say, I use to have some in storage. Right now I have them all super organized, and some even on display...it's kinda like a museum of swimwear around here :) Oh, I also have tons saved from childhood too...but just one from when I was two, that's super adorable!

AWB: Amazing! I can remember a few favorites from when I was small too! What are some of the key things you look for in a bikini?

The cut is major! The bum cut especially. Fabric is important and detail too. I try to look for exceptional prints that are dreamy. Everyone's got a different body, so whatever is flattering and accentuates the smile!!:)

AWB: What are some of your favorite beach destinations?.

Tala: oohhhhhhhh so many! Right here at home is one of my faves. No matter where I go, I miss little hidden coves in San Diego...and near Malibu. I LOVE the beaches of CORFU! I Love little nooks in Maui (especially under the water falls)! Oh, Trunk Bay is amazzze! Geee I even liked Capri, Nice, quiet stretches of sand in Costa Rica, St. Augustine on the East Coast...this can go onnn...

AWB: Um can we sneak away in your luggage, your trips sound gorgeous. I know you attended Miami Swim Fashion Week a couple of weeks ago, what were some highlights for you from the shows?

All the shows at Mercedes Benz had unique qualities that made me get the chills. I loved the way Lisa Blue presented their line...outta this world!!! Cia.Maritima had some beautiful magical prints that were pretty mermaid-y to me that I just loved. The energy backstage at L*Space reminded me why I love meeting the designers. The rainstorm one night was crazy too! :) Lots of new designers I  met at the Swim Show brought some perfect color and print to the bikinis which isn't easy to do. I'm obsessed with Salinas' new collection. Prints and colors are truly some of my fave! There's no way for me to recap all my show highlights...I tried my best on Bathing News...so check it out!!

AWB: What are you excited to see coming in 2012?

I'm excited about more bra type cups (i love the under-wire personally). I'm happy a lot more designers are embracing the smaller bikini bum cut too!
 
AWB: We agree a skimpy back is very sexy and fun to wear we are happy to see more available. Your bio says you help under privileged kids, can you tell us more about the work you do for kids?

Yes, I'm also a Psychotherapist! Who wouda thunk!? I've been working for years with emotionally and behaviorally at risk children who are suffering mental illness. I like to spread happiness :) 

AWB: Wow that is incredible, must be challenging and very rewarding. Your bio also says you dreamed of growing up in the Blue Lagoon, have you ever had a chance to visit Jamaica or the Blue Lagoon?

I've been pretty close to Jamaica near the aqua waters and have visited blue lagoons I never wanted to leave. I'm debating currently a temporary move near a blue lagoon-y spot with a blue lagoony house...with spoons made of shells...we'll seeeee! :))

Thanks so much for sharing your swim love with us Tala!! We will keep eyeing your blog.

The Season's Hottest One Pieces

Luli Fama Quiero Fiesta Black Bow 1 Piece

Cia Maritima Seamless Black Solid One Piece

LSpace Stardust Fringe One Piece

Cia Maritima Aqua and Green One Piece

A One Piece swimsuit doesn't have to be boring. In many cases, they can be more alluring than your traditional two piece. This season, designers have created some striking One Piece swimsuits. Designers like Cia Maritima, Luli Fama, LSpace and RYGY have added elements like cut outs, bows and ties, and deep-v necklines which not only look beautiful but also attract and hold the eye, focusing attention away from problem areas like the tummy. Fringe and jewelry details are luxury touches that make each piece truly special. See our full collection on One Pieces on All Wet Beachwear.
