Affordable Charity Tee Helps Japan

Marni’s H&M T-Shirt Fundraises for Red Cross | Affordable Charity Tee Helps Japan A charity T-shirt will be part of Marni's forthcoming diffusion line for Swedish department chain H&M. The playful tee pictured will be amongst the items hitting H&M stores on March 8. I can't say I'm a fan of the childish sketch drawing which Marni describes as "full of charm and optimism." However the cause the T-shirt supports is one we can all get behind. A significant 25…

La Blanca Ruff Stuff Bandeau

Classic Striped One-Piece Swimsuit

0/10
La Blanca Ruff Stuff Bandeau | Classic Striped One-Piece Swimsuit Don't let the vertical stripes scare you; this Ruff Stuff swimsuit from La Blanca is remarkably slimming. We've all been told to steer clear of outfits decorated with such stripes, but you needn't have the model's figure to look good wearing them. The Ruff Stuff's stripes are relatively narrow, so they don't tend to add extra pounds. La Blanca knows this so it generously offers the R…

Juicy Couture Miss Divine Bandeau

Navy Blue Gold Buttons Swim Top

0/10
Juicy Couture Miss Divine Bandeau | Navy Blue Gold Buttons Swim Top Juicy Couture sets the style standard with this Miss Divine bandeau swim top. The label's come a long way since its heady pink velour-loving heyday. These days the American fashion house is experimenting with more timeless colors and more fashion forward designs, and it's better for it. I love the restraint shown here, something we'd never have associated with Juicy Couture in th…

Luli Fama Mariposa Traicionera Bikini | Skimpy Purple Butterfly Decorated String Swim Top Luli Fama's created an itsy bitsy teeny weeny bikini with some extra flair with this Mariposa Tracionera swim top. It's up to you to decide whether this bikini has too much flair. The pretty frills are a lovely way to soften the traditional bikini triangles. With a name like the Mariposa Tracionera, we probably expected the large butterflies that have landed at the top of those trian…

Becca Get Together Swimsuit

Sexy Black & White Cut Out One-Piece

0/10
Becca Get Together Swimsuit | Sexy Black & White Cut Out One-Piece Becca's created one of the sexiest one-piece swimsuits I've ever seen with the Get Together. This modern swimsuit obviously takes its cues from the monokini, but its asymmetrical style makes it much more eye-catching. The white stripes draw the eye, encouraging onlookers to admire this swimsuit, and the body in it, from top to toe. It's also just as eye-catching from behind, wher…

Raviya Chiffon Tunic

Sheer Black Beaded Beach Cover-Up

0.0/10
Raviya Chiffon Tunic | Sheer Black Beaded Beach Cover-Up Raviya's created a cover-up for middle-aged sun lovers with this Chiffon Tunic. It's clear that Raviya understands its target market. The black color and loose fit won't appeal to young beachgoers, but they're just what the older demographic will admire. The classic hue is decorated with a soft foliage print. Personally I think the pattern is a bit dated, but if you don't care abou…

Jantzen Pretty Pin Dot Tank Swimsuit

Retro Red Spotted One-Piece

Jantzen Pretty Pin Dot Tank Swimsuit | Retro Red Spotted One-Piece Jantzen helps us be pretty in pin dots with this sexy retro-inspired swimsuit. I can imagine Mad Men's Joan Holloway wearing this one-piece on a Californian getaway. The swirling bandeau style bust, spotted finish, and cute ruffled hemline give it a real pin-up girl vibe. I love the eye-catching appeal of this red suit, but traditionalists may prefer it in black. It looks like you n…

Bikini Lab Love Story Bandeau

Handkerchief Style Floral Swim Top

Bikini Lab Love Story Bandeau | Handkerchief Style Floral Swim Top Bikini Lab gets girly with this Love Story Bandeau bikini top. We've seen many bandeau style bikini tops before, but never one quite like this. Bikini Lab calls it a handkerchief, and I can easily imagine that it's made with a large one! The floral printed fabric swatch appears to be casually wrapped around the body, yet its pretty pleats manage to fall just so. Some pretty ruching alo…

Guess On Thin Ice Bikini

White Gemstone Encrusted Triangle Swim Top

0/10
Guess On Thin Ice Bikini | White Gemstone Encrusted Triangle Swim Top Guess seems to have taken a bedazzler to a classic white bikini with this On Thin Ice swim top. At its heart, this is your stock standard triangle style string bikini. All of its flash comes from the assortment of gems and studs. The application of the scattered metal discs and jewels seems a little heavy handed at first. However by restricting the accents to the lines along the cups, I t…

Black Floral Modest Underwire Swim Top

Guess She’s Ditsy Bikini | Black Floral Modest Underwire Swim Top I’m not sure what "she's" wearing on the beach, but according to Guess if she's not wearing its black floral bikini, She's Ditsy! I'm not really in favor of tearing down the fashion choices of other girls on the beach, so Guess' cheeky moniker doesn't impress me. But I do like what the irreverent label's done with this classic underwire bikini. In many ways this is a very traditional…

It Figures! Batiki Swim Top

Supportive Plus-Sized Floral Tankini

It Figures! Batiki Swim Top | Supportive Plus-Sized Floral Tankini It Figures! puts practicality first with this Batiki swim top. This tankini is far from fashion forward, but its vivid floral print has a certain charm. The brightly colored blooms are complemented by a rainbow hued beaded tie. It's all pulled together with bold black trim. It Figures! has a solid base here, but it hasn't done a lot with it. Its shoestring straps are classic, but not e…
