I love bikinis. I’d spend my life in a bikini if I could. Can I? It was a real blessing to buy swimwear at Bendel’s… well, not so much a blessing for my wallet, but I enjoyed doing it so much that at one point started to consider designing my own line… til I realized I’d really just rather wear them and write about how much I love them. So, here I am. Loving bikinis and writing about how much so.
I write about them whenever I can… like here… and here… and here… you get the point. I wish I could take a picture of my extensive swimwear collection, but alas, it is somewhere in a box in Pennsylvania or West Virginia… hard to tell.
Moving right along. Memorial Day is what most people consider the “official” summer kick off although the first day of summer is really June 21- aka summer solstice- aka my favorite woman on earth’s birthday- mom. Whether you live somewhere warm and sunny or your weekends will now be spent in the Hamptons or Malibu, you’re going to need some sexy suits to keep you looking lovely pool/beachside. From simple and classic to preferring all eyes on YOU (and why wouldn’t you?), I’ve found and assortment of babe worthy bikinis that will keep you on trend all summer long.

The best way to get through the next two months of below freezing temperatures is to plan ahead. Plan vacations, plan summer shares, plan spring wardrobes… One of Spring 2013′s trends was the minimalistic and graphic use of black and white shown by everyone from Marc Jacobs to Balmain to Michael Kors. A long time fan of bold black and white, I am happy to report that this really is one of those trends that would be hard to get wrong… (though I’m sure someone is capable of screwing it up). You can opt for an actual black and white print or simply pair black and white separates to achieve the look that is clean, crisp, and classic. Throw em for a loop by accessorizing the look with a red lip or bright bag.
