Introducing the Swim Chronicles where we share our honest personal reviews and experiences

All Wet Beachwear founder Racquel Black has loved swimwear from a very young age. She amassed a huge personal collection of swimwear before founding AWB in 2007.  And since then she has purchased thousands for www.allwetbeachwear.com. Because of the sheer numbers and variety of different bikinis she has shopped and purchased over the years, she has learned not only about the intricacies of the swimwear but also what makes for a great overall swimsuit. To share this insider point of view on swimwear, we’re introducing a new category to our Blog, the Swim Chronicles.

  

The AWB team will share honest reviews of the swimsuits we own or want to purchase and rate them on our Swim Chronicle scale. The five major categories within our rating system are: Sexiness, Staying Power, Functionality, Value, and Quality & Construction.

First up to share her reviews is one of AWB's newest employees Tarsi!  She went on a cruise last week and was able to road test some of our newest styles. Here is what Tarsi had to say:

If you've been following this season's trends, then you already know Spring's hottest looks were all about neon brights and fabulous fringe. Well, the Luli Fama Aquanile Bikini and Audrey Citrus Foxy Tab Bikini are my top picks for the season and my sister and I got to take them out for a test run on our recent cruise to Key West and Mexico. Our suits by far stood out on the cruise, which was packed with Spring Breakers enjoying the absolutely perfect sunny weather. 

Review of the LSpace Audrey Citrus Fringe Halter + Foxy Tab Bikini:

I know firsthand how popularity of the LSpace Fringe Suits are right now so I was shocked to see that my sister was the only one wearing a fringe bikini on the entire cruise, which gave her points for unique style! I gave her the LSpace Audrey Citrus Foxy Tab Bikini as a birthday present knowing it was going to be her new obsession and it proved to be perfect for her style personality, which is trendy, fun and sporty. The moderate coverage of the bottoms and the surprisingly great support the unpadded, unwired halter top allows for all the activity you want. That added with the vibrant color and fringe detail make it trendy and versatile. She paired it with an adorable cream crocheted coverup that the bathing suit popped under. 

Review of the Luli Fama Aguanile Bikini:

I, on the other hand, tend to choose a sexier style swimsuit with teeny tiny coverage in the back so I get a great tan, which made the Luli Fama Aguanile Bikini the one for me. Its vibrant color and "scrunch butt" cut gives it an unbelievably sexy fit and a high quality look, but is definitely a suit for show not play as the bottoms tend to get even tinier with more moving about.

Fab Flats to match our New Swim Styles

It is surprisingly tricky to find the perfect flat sandal. Beach flats have to be easy to slip on, comfortable and cute. They also have to be constructed with quality materials that are durable enough to withstand the wet and sanding conditions. We scoped out a few hot new pairs that would be the perfect accent to some of our new swim styles.

What we are loving right now!

This year swimwear designers certainly brought it! We are very excited about all of the beautiful styles to choose from this season. Here are a few pieces from the 2012 collections that we can't wait to get into our closets!

Fab Fringe:
There is no question that the most coveted swimsuit of the season is the LSpace Audrey (halter) or Dolly (bandeau) Fringe Bikini. We fell for this style hard and are carrying them in just about every color and combination imaginable.

Tribal Take:
Ethnic prints, beads, earth tones, and fringe all fall into the tribal trend that is huge this season. We love this chic Fly Away bandeau from PilyQ and this gorgeous Tunisia wrap top from Ondademar.

Black + White:
A solid black swimsuit, dubbed the LBB (little black bikini), and a crisp classic white swimsuit are must haves for ever swim wardrobe. However, this season there are beautiful options for wearing black and white together. We went crazy the second we saw this Color Blocked Cream Bikini from LSpace and the new black and white striped Odette Bia from Vix.

Super Brights:
Vibrant hues of pink, coral, lime, violet and blue are showing up on handbags, jeans, shoes and you guessed it swimwear. Everyone wants to go bold and bright this summer and we don't blame them if you are hitting the beach you may as well stand out from the crowd. This lime and teal Artisan Dye Viridian Tiki Knot Bikini from Vitamin A and Le Chic Purple Bikini from LSpace will add a fresh pop of color to your beach day.

Our Faves from the 2012 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue

The 2012 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue hit the news stands last week. We have had some time to scan its pages and pick out our favorite shots from this years issue.

Newbie Kirby Griffin made a splash in this Agua Bendita bikini. We love this shot of her. Her eyes are spectacular and her bright, embellished bikini really pops.

Cover Girl Kate Upton knows how to rock a Beach Bunny Bikini. Nautical bikinis were a big trend in this issue and this number in navy and blue stripes fit right in. 

We are jealous of model Anne V for more reasons than one. She dates sexy Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine and she is a natural beauty in a bikini. We love this Vix Ruffle Tri on her especially in such vibrant hues.

The Sport's Illustrated Swimsuit Issue wouldn't be complete without a sexy Luli Fama bikini. Another Rookie model Ariel Meredith shows us that she has the perfect figure for wearing a Luli Wavey side bikini.

We are thrilled that one of our newest brand's Caffe made the 2012 issue. SI Swim veteran Cintia Dicker wears a colorful python print bikini from Caffe.

 And last but not least is Anne V again in the LSpace Audrey Citrus Fringe top, one of our all time favorite styles. We carry it in a range of colors and also in a bandeau style. Check them out and fall in love like we have.

Taste Tested! Cult Favorites from the AWB Designers

LSpace Fringe

These new fringe accented bikinis from LSpace are an instant classic! We are already seeing them in the tabloids on stars like Denise Richards and Melissa Gorga and they have only been out a short time. We have a huge range of colors and prints in the bandeau style fringe top "the Dolly" as well as "the Audrey," a halter style. From rich blues, bright prints, a perky neon lemon shade to solid black and white there are pieces to achieve a variety of looks. Here are a few of our favorites:

Vix Bia Tube Bikini

The Bia is the go-to bikini for a whole list of celebrities including Halle Berry, Tyra Banks, Salma Hayek, Kim Kardashian, Megan Fox, and Brooklyn Decker. It is known as the most flattering bikini and fits up to a D cup. This season it comes in two great prints, a classic nautical stripe in black and white, the Odette Bia Tube Bikini, as well as the rich Uluwatu print in rust, pink and blue.

Despi Casablanca

If a swimsuit makes the cover of OK you know it is a big deal! Everyone loves beautiful beaded details on their bikini, it adds the luxury of jewelry to your look without you having to worry about loosing a bangle or earring in the surf. This Despi bikini has the beautifully constructed beaded straps on the top and bottom that really stand out. This season the Despi Casablanca comes in a sophisticated nude shade called Fur.

The Perfect Pair: Pretty Polishes to match our Newest Beachwear

When your hitting the beach, a mani and pedi are not optional (unfortunately). So here are a few cute polish pairings suggestions for some of our newest swimwear and cover-ups.

Cia Maritima's One Shoulder Snake One Piece is one of the hottest one pieces we have seen... ever! Celebrate the beautiful teals and greens in the print by wearing a similar shade of polish like "Fly" from Nikki Minaj's new collection for Opi, a teal shade that is a perfect match to the greens in the suit. 

This LSpace Dolly Fringe Bandeau in Blue Iris and Foxy Tab Bikini is full of popping color. Essie's "Wife Goes On" a punchy pink with a hint of coral works just right with this pair.

We found an purpley-fuchsia that is an exact match for the shade in the Tenerife Triangle Top Bikini from Ondademar. Priti Eco Nail Polish in "Ruby Giant" will bring out the vibrant purple in this artistic bikini.  

Luli Fama Club Tropicana Halter Bikini is full-on-sexy and needs a feminine, sexy nail color to compliment it. A classic, red nail color like Deborah Lippmann's "It's Raining Men" is ultra feminine and will match the contrast stitching on the wavey side top and bottom.

With simple, sexy black swimsuit or cover-up you can rock a more avant-garde nail color like this limited edition color "Periot" from Chanel. Pair it with Cia Maritima's Solid Black Halter Wrap Dress
for a sexy fashionable beach look.

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.

Agua Bendita Bendita La Rochelle

This sexy bikini from Agua Bendita gives you fringe with a lingerie twist. It also is one of the few bikinis out there that have fringe on the bikini bottom. In this suit, shimmery emerald fabric is combined with golden thread Spanish ribbon and ivory fringes for a sexy, feminine statement.

Agua Bendita Bendita Zimbabwe

For the most opulent dose of fringe, try the Agua Bendita Bendita Zimbabwe. The triangle top is covered in multicolor beaded fringe. The bikini bottom is accented with a beaded fringe in a bright tribal pattern.

The Great Cover-up

Cover-ups are beach fashion's unsung hero. They conceal all the right places and give just a hint at what is below. The right cover-up can carry you from street to beach in style.  We are super excited about the cover-ups designers are coming out with this season. Here are a few favorites:


1. LSpace Ave Poncho
Ponchos back with a bang, they were all over the Fall 2011 and Spring 2012 runways at shows like Alexander Wang. We love how LSpace has brought this trend into beachwear. The fringe along the hem and sleeves adds another stylish element to this design. We might even try wearing this one off the beach.

2.  LSpace Camila Dress - 
This beautiful maxi cover-up makes us swoon. The ling slit down the middle creates a long line that is slimming and very glamorous. What's even better is that it is done in a bright, girly floral, bringing a fresh energy to this sexy beach casual.

3. Pily Q Love You Dress
This is hands-down the perfect baby doll cover-up. It is so lovely in person with lots of pretty details in the fabric and construction that make the quality show through. It comes in black and white and is lined so it can easily be worn as a dress too.

 

4.Despi Renaiscence Aguamarine Cover-up

Cotton eyelet cover-ups are always feminine and comfy to slip on. The Renaiscence cover-up comes in this right teal shade and crisp white. The focal point is the zig-zag lace hemline.

5. Despi Beijing Cover-up

You don't need to bare it all to transmit sex appeal. This flowy blue tunic is a sheer fabric will leave you feeling wrapped in glamour. We can bet that this will look great on a range of body types too.

One is never enough get a cover-up for every occasion. See our new 2012 cover-ups from brands like Despi, LSpace, PilyQ and more here.
