Tempting Tuesdays: The I-Want-Swimwear Edition, Part I

Tuesdays will feature a lustworthy lingerie set and a suggested retailer. I think we all need a little something beautiful to at least look at to get us through the week. Hope you love them as much as I do!

1. The Phoenix Triangle Bikini by We Are Handsome

LOVE the delicately fiery print on this bikini and how it manages to be almost feathery at the same time. The satin finish and gold-tipped strings add a bit of a luxe feel. Minor detail: Phoenix is one of my favorite bands, so yeah. This at the top of my list, heyyy.

Available at Net-A-Porter.com, $225.

2. Valentine Printed Underwired Bikini by Zimmermann

Such a fun tropical print on this underwire bikini! The pretty white crochet trims are what differentiate this from any old suit you'd find, as well as a detachable halterneck strap in case a strapless top isn't for you.

Available at Net-A-Porter.com, $210.

3. Haven Floral-Print Bandeau Bikini by JETS by Jessika Allen

Bandeau top? Check. Pretty floral print? Check. High-waisted bottoms? CHECK! The ruched panel in the front of the bottoms is very forgiving. I love the print's pointillist style, and who doesn't love wearing a painting? You know you'd want to.

Available at Net-A-Porter.com, $245.

Editorials: Swimwear Inspiration, Harper's Bazaar Australia November 2010

I saw this editorial a few months ago and thought it featured some amazing swimwear by up-and-coming Australian designers. Even if some of the styles aren't available in the US, I hope it inspires you to try a new style this year!

These are some of my favorite shots. Visit Fashion Gone Rogue to see the entire set!

It's Swim Time!

Though I do love snowboarding, the blizzard last week made me long for the summertime and beach days, and it feels so far away. Good thing boutiques are already stocking swimwear for those winter-time getaways, so if you're lucky enough to escape the cold for a weekend or so, you might like this pretty little swimsuit!

Wild Pansies Francine Swimsuit by Eberjey

I'm a fan of bandeau tops 'cos I like to avoid unflattering tan lines that peek out of my tank tops, and the floral print on this one is simple without being boring. The cheeky bottoms are ruched and sassy, and the adjustable sides give you a more customized fit. Love!

Francine top, $74. Bottoms, $62. Available at Forty Winks.
