Elle Brazil October 2012
More Iza! Izabel Goulart, the model featured in the current Cia.Maritima campaign that we shared last week, has a vibrant editorial in the current issue of Elle Brazil. Two standout pieces in the editorial include a strappy yellow and leopard monokini from Cia.Maritima 2013 collection and a futuristic crop top with fringe lined arms by Brazilian designer Triya. We were equally pleased to see the addition of so many toned male models lol. What is not to like?

5 Beauty Products to try on your next Beach Getaway
If you have already booked a vacation or will very soon, you may want to try these beach beauty tricks. These products will have you glowing and gorgeous on your cruise or at the resort. Here are the 5 beauty products you shouldn't leave home without.
1. Cream Highlighter
Beach beauty is all about glow. A cream luminizer in a light champagne or pale gold color will emphasize the natural shimmering highlights of glowing skin.
How to use: Tap the cream with your finger and blend into the brow bone, inner eye corner, cheek bone and cupid's bow.
Extra tip: Swiping the highlighting cream along the collar bones and down the center of the legs will give your body some gleam as well.
2. Body Oil
How to use: Body Oil is great to apply if you will be photographing yourself on the beach. It will give your body that sultry, sexy look that we are accustomed to seeing in swimwear photography.
How to use: Be sure to use a body oil with SPF to prevent sun damage.
Extra tip: Post-beach, oiling your legs is a great way to show them off. Just be careful when wearing silks or other delicate fabrics because the oil could stain.
3. Salt Spray
Salt sprays have been a big trend in hair stylist for several years now. They give your locks that tossled, surfer girl look that is perfectly disshelved.
How to use: Apply to clean or dirty hair spritz through the strands and style with the fingers. It is a super easy way to get sexy style with minimal effort.
Extra tip: You can also use salt spray for volume. Apply the spray at the crown, dry and then back comb. The salt spray will give your root the texture to hold the lift from the teasing.
4. Hair Oil
Luscious shine makes hair look healthy and polished.
How to use: Apply to wet or dry hair. Drop a dime sized amount of hair oil in the palm, rub hands together then comb lightly through the hair starting at the ends and working towards the crown.
Extra tip: Hair oil actually provides a barrier between your hair and UV rays so it can protect it from the sun!
5. Salt Scrub
After a long day at the beach, refresh your skin and spirits with a salt scrub.
How to use: Gently rub into the skin in the shower. Take a deep breath and enjoy the beautiful perfumes in the blend.
Extra tip: The oils in the scrub will help replace the moisture depleted by the sun and swimming for a silky supple feel.

Swimwear from the Ready-to-wear Runways
As fashion month finishes up in Paris this week, we took a look back at the swimwear that went down the runways in New York, Milan and Paris at the Spring/Summer Ready to Wear shows. It is always interesting to reflect on what these designers, who focus primarily on RTW, envision for swim.
The Herve Leger brand has taken their signature knit bodycon bandage construction into swim but the elaborate mallots are more for posing poolside because unfortunately they aren't meant for water! This season the one pieces featured intricate embroidery and basket woven straps.
NYC designers Cushnie et Ochs had 2 brave white bikinis in their SS2013 collection. The style was a novel contrast of Gothic scalloping done in a white modern fabric.
Micheal Kors gave us a mod nautical one piece. Stripes were a big part of his show, Kors said his inspiration was "geometric glamour."
At Dsqaured2 in Milan the look was super 90's! The styling included biker hats, lots of gold chain and pearls channeling vintage Chanel. This look is not for the sheepish!
In Paris, Lanvin's designer Alber Elbaz always sets the bar for feminine, chic fashion. The lone swimsuit in his collection had an asymmetrical leg line with one very high cut leg and the other more moderate. The effect was very cool!
This season Missoni's swimwear options include a double layer suit with a lycra underlayer and the trademark Missoni knit layer above, a much better option for swimmers given that knitwear tends to get heavy and saggy when wet.

New York Fashion Week Highlights
Fashion Week swept New York City last week as designers showed their Spring 2013 collections. Here are a few highlights from the shows:
Color was the statement at the Diane von Furstenberg SS2013 show. Color-blocked combinations of pinks, acid greens and yellows floated down the runways.
Cut-out dresses were the rule at Alexander Wang. Prada started the belly-baring trend with cropped bralets and knee length skirts at their SS2012 show. For SS2013 many New York designers including Wang, Calvin Klein and Cushnie et Ochs made a more wearable version of this trend with dresses featuring cuts outs at the mid-drift.
Oscar de la Renta is known for opulent (almost stuffy) femininity. This season his collection was injected with a a girlie edge. Suits and evening gowns in salmon pink, magenta and teal were a welcome surprise. However, not everyone was enamored with the collection. NY Times fashion writer Cathy Horyn gave it a not-so-kind review calling Mr. de la Renta a "hot dog" and the show "wonderfully cantankerous." De la Renta shot back with an open letter to Ms. Horyn in WWD yesterday calling her a "2-day old hamburger" and ending this season on a hilarious note. What is fashion week with out a little drama?!? Already can't wait until next season!
