In about 45 days I’ll finally be able to take some sort of time off, and I’m planning to check out the sunny beaches of either Turkey or Egypt, seeing as I’m not looking to spend thousands on a few days in the sun.

Anyway, it’s a great excuse to spend hours browsing the internet looking at literally hundreds of bikini’s and bathing suits. Today: two absolutely gorgeous pieces!

Number one is by Cuban-American designer Nicole Sainz’ Nicolita label. Their whole 2007 collection is a great hit and is selling like crazy in the US, and this superb bandeau halter set is my absolute favorite (i like the white one you can see in the pic!). It’s simple and sober, yet features a stunning heart-shaped bottom for an affordable $117 at the Nicolita website. Am I the only one sensing a sort of 1950’s feel?

Number two is this Hula-la! Houndstooth triangle bikini and sexy Brazilian bottom. Just $77 for the whole set straight from the official Hula-La! website looks like a great deal to me.

Expect more little beachwear blurbs like these — at least until the end of June that! is
