Searching for Swimsuits

Victoria Secret

Another year, another swimsuit season.   Besides the dreaded journey of dieting and exercising to feel adequate enough to wear a sexy swimsuit there is the exciting adventure of shopping for bikinis.  For the past month I have searched high and low for bathing suits with a certain pizzazz and although the task has been extremely time consuming I found some great suits with some above and beyond looks.

The first place I looked was of course, Victoria Secret.  Here I found their yearly plain suits with other push-up tops which extended from their Miraculous Bra collection.  This year I found that strapless tops are extremely popular along with strapless tops with a centered jewel design.  You can always count on Victoria Secret to cover your basic needs with basic animal prints and polka-dotted patterns.  My big find at VS this season is this pink floral beachy and bright bandeau which I fell in love with because of its feminine and floral feel.  It is the perfect suit to tan in so you are not stuck with horrid strap lines!



My big find for this season is the swim suit label called Vitamin A by Amahlia Stevens.    Here I found unique awesome bathing suits with a cool chic feel.  The 2011 collection includes a gold collection, silver collection and green bikini collection.  While on the site you are able to mix and match different bikini styles such as wrap tops, string bikinis, slider tops and bandeaus (just to name a few).  What I really love about the Vitamin A line are the various prints you do not always see on basic bathing suit sites.  My favorite Vitamin A suit this season is from the Vitamin A Gold Collection- Vixen Cosmo Deluxe.  I love the sparkly animal print with the feminine pink string.  Gotta have it!

Diane Von Furstenberg

My other favorite swim suit is by Diane Von Furstenberg which is a printed ruffled bandeau with a gorgeous mix of blues, grays, light purple and yellow.  I admit to being fully obsessed with this bathing suit and all its great beautifulness!!!
