Just add water and swim ....

Lots of swimwear added this week with more to come!  So many choices!!!!   Sail away in this gorgeous vintage-look two-piece skirted bikini with flattering shirred detailing. The molded cup underwire top enhances the bust while the skirt conceals the hips and rear. Just add water, sun and you are good to go....

Perhaps you like Bond, James Bond... we have the Bond Series, Casino Royale This fab suit is a safe gamble for fashionistas. The Retro Halter Top ties around the neck & hooks in the back. This top offers quite a bit of support for larger busted women; and we have the Golden Eye Suit ... both worthy of beach spying : )

I could actually use a pool, a cherry coke AND a cherry bomb swimsuit!  Hot as Hades here on the upper East Coast!

This is an adorable suit!  Cherry Bomb Butterfly Halter top has adjustable side casing and ties around the back. Drawstring Hipster bottom has moderate to full back coverage, sits on the hips, and has drawstring sides for adjusting side width.

Ruffle Back Swimwear and Oh La La ... Literally

Swimsuit time is coming ....We've got the Multi Striped Halter One Piece Swimsuit w/ Ruffled Back in Green, Pink & White w/ Side Cut Outs. Fully lined and water safe lycra material that will hold up to repeated wear. Made by Skinny Dip. This one is a favorite.

Another favorite ... the Oh La La. This vintage reproduction is not really a maillot because it is actually a two piece, but it looks like a one piece. Since it's a two piece, it fits more comfortably, it's easier to go to the ladies room and it won't bunch, sag, or stretch vertically when you sit like normal one pieces. Style shown is blue with two parallel white piping lines and rouching detail in the middle. Custom sizing is available for the same price.

Both available at Get Go Retro.com

Retro Swimwear Abounds in 2008

The Fashion Industry got it right this year. Lot's of swimwear with coverage and retro appeal. I pretty much went crazy looking at Macy's site... Lots of great styles that were affordable to choose from ... here are a few of the great ones! (In my book)...

Profile by Gottex A feminine bandini swimsuit top with ruffle trim, by Gottex.

Ann Cole Classic Dot Tankini Right on the dot for charm and femininity. This retro-inspired halter tankini features a fun dot print print, gathered straps and a solid hipster bottom.

DKNY Draped Swim Dress Think of Sophia Loren stretched out on a lounge chair by the pool . . . A beautiful suit reflective of Hollywood Glamour in the 50's. A chic approach to a little more coverage: the swimdress by DKNY.

All That Glitters is Gold : )

Just came across a very interesting and unique site today called Lileks. It's a great historical trip down memory lane with pictures and info about swimsuits through the ages. From swim caps, to gold lame to leather and now. Here's a sampling of his work:

Here we have Betty Koch at the Outdoor Ceramic Tile Testing Grounds, modeling “the 24 carat.” The copy reminds women that it is better to dress up in the color of a historically stable medium of exchange than pursue an individual career:

“All that glitters here is gold. It’s gold lastex woven in a diamond pattern. This is the kind of suit that makes man see stars at high noon. The suit costs $60.00 but is guaranteed to make your figure your fortune. In fact it does more for a girl than money in the bank.”

Really, that’s what it says. When did money in the bank buy you a drink, complain about its wife, get cigar ash on your dress and grope you in the taxi?

Compare yesterday's suit with that of today : )

Strike a Pose to Look Thinner in Your Swimsuit!

Strike A Pose!

Models know better than anyone the importance of posing. All those hours in front of a mirror to find your best angles pays off with award-winning images, and careers. The slant of the shoulder and flip of a hip are sometimes all the difference between mundane and marvelous photos!

You can also pose your way to a flatter, more toned midsection. Perfecting posture to make your tummy look flatter and your waistline look smaller is part of swimwear photography. Study some of the photos and you’ll notice that the best swimwear poses twist the body to its best advantage. A slight twist in the hips makes every waistline appear smaller.

GetGoSwimwear.com TIP: Stretch it out. You can take off the appearance of five pounds just by elongating your body when you pose. Hold your torso tall, imagining your head in a crown, and don’t be afraid to go up on those toes.
