Swim, Strut And Stretch In These Suits And Cover-ups For 2010This recession is definitely the pits. The Sig O is is working like crazy with little to show for it, poor dear. However, in every cloud there's a silver lining. Take a look at shopbop who is always good for some bargains among the nice designer stuff they sell. What a feast since we're off to the islands this month for a week. Destination unknown 'cos the Sig. O is being very mysterious about it. Well maybe it's because it's my birthday in a couple of weeks but that doesn't mean squat usually. So I have to pick out some of the latest resort fashions at bargain prices for this trip. All my beach stuff is trash and I need a whole new wardrobe. I'd better figure on every locale from remote island to swank resort. (hope it's the latter and I better buy some evening stuff too.) Now I'd better not get carried away and stick to swim and beach wear for now. I'll do this by stages! First a very sexy bikini and I found a beaut at shopbop. Get a load of this. It's by Tyler Rose. Some very hot numbers in this group or is it the rear end of the model they use? I'm jealous! Oh well back to the suits. A Tres Chic purple and gold tie-dye bandeau bikini top.Square metal ring between cups and boning at sides. Double-strand straps tie at back. Made of 80% nylon/20% spandex. Bottom to match sold separately and ruched at the back. Wow quite a whoopee effect that!. Top and bottom together originally were $168. Well my dear, now you can get them for $50.40, a whopping 70% reduction!
OK another - this time from Tibi - a Nashota String Bikini in a funky black multi print. Gorgeous suit with a halter top which features removable padding and ruching at triangle cups. Straps tie behind neck and at back. Bottoms feature tie at sides. Materials used are in the shell: 80% polyamide/20% lycra and the lining: 93% polyamide/7% elastane. The set combined $190. On my way through this smorgasbord of beachwear I spotted this coverup - absolutely delicious by Milly - a Hanalei Silk Coverup Print silk-chiffon cover-up with 2.5" banding at top hem and ruching at bust. 3-button closure and keyhole at back. Ruffled bottom hem. Beading at spaghetti straps. Sheer. 38" long, measured from shoulder. And here's a long coverup for cocktails at the beach bar. This one by Ella Moss. Cotton-gauze halter dress with smocked elastic banding at bodice and ruching at empire waist. Surged edge at bottom hem. 1/4" straps tie behind neck. Sheer.52" long, measured from shoulder. 100% cotton. It's so sweet. Back to the suits. One more. They advertise this one for a moonlight swim. It is a sexy look and I think I'll like it a lot. By Melissa Oderbash a Lydia Bikini set. Halter top features polished stone detail between triangle cups. Straps tie behind neck and at back. Bottoms feature 3 polished stones at sides. Lined. 80% polyamide/20% elastane. Priced at $175. Think I better stop! Well maybe for now! Call me again tomorrow! |
