Louise Goldin New Kid in Town

Make room for Louise Goldin, the new London kid making waves with her seductive, body-conscious, techno-"coloured" creations (and from Central Saint Martins, naturally). Separate all the clashing colors and patterns and one is actually left with several distinctly magnificent pieces of apparel. The above combination is actually one fantastic white one-piece swimsuit over a flirtatiously sheer chiffon cover-up in the colors of an orange creamsicle. London flair that might actually get sold in stores? Now that is innovative!

Magicsuit Rouched One-piece Swimsuit at Victoria’s Secret

Granted, swimsuit season is almost over for many of us, but for those who live in warm locations or are lucky enough to go on winter getaways to the tropics, swimsuits are still a very necessary (and sometimes embarrassing) part of life.  Lucky for those of us who don’t quite have a supermodel physique, Magicsuit has created this rouched one-piece swimsuit for the body conscious beach-goer in you.  The Magictex firm control fabric boasts that you’ll ‘look slimmer in seconds’–a tall claim for such a sexy piece of swimwear.  I also love the full coverage and hardware detail on the straps. 

You can complete the look with the swimsuit cover-up skirt pictured below in hues of blue, black, wine, or chocolate. Suddenly, the beach sounds much more appealing.

A Chic Package of Brazilian Goodness

Images of Brazil’s eclectic culture and vibe keep swimming in my head when I see the work of one of the country’s greatest exports: Alexandre Herchcovitch. He has been designing clothing that speaks the language of urban fashionistas in a simple, candy coated way. This tank by Herchcovitch would be the perfect cover over a swimsuit or as part of a vacation wardrobe. Made out of crinkle silk chiffon, this tank is so airy and light that you can ever layer without melting away in the process. Priced at $128, the Silk Chiffon Tank W/ Red Triangle will soon find its way into your hands.

Swimming in a Shiny Sea

All you fashionista’s out there know that metallics are all the rage and have been seen on every runway around the world. So why would you want to be a part of the crowd, when you can be one step further by wearing one of American Apparel’s swimsuits. Although American Apparel does have one pieces in silver, gold, and copper, they don’t really catch the eye like the Nylon Tricot Rouched Swimsuit. Available in a myriad of hued metallics, this swimsuit is a fresh take on an old classic. The best part is that it is on sale for $22, which is an online exclusive sale price.
