The model is long-time Brazilian model Ana Claudia Michels.

The brand has been doing swimwear for over 25 years in Poland, and according to their home page, aim at a much more high-end audience than most other Polish labels. With high quality fabrics, eye-catching designs and great product photography, the label really gets the Malibu-feel going, if you ask me!

At under $50 for almost all of these sets though, pricing is extremely aggressive. Have you tried Meriell Club? Please do let us know if the quality is as good as advertised through the comments section!

This new Cyell beachwear collection boasts a true colour explosion and stunning contrasts. Peach, coral rosy red, orange, aqua and fresh green shades with contrasting black, ivory, grey shades and deep gold.

In the global mix – all the patterns come together. Multi-colored ones with subtle fluorescent accents, brown shades with shells and wooden beads as accessories. The azure sea is reflected in iridescent fabrics and special aqua shades. A new feature are the “tube” details in Cosmo, the plain-colors line, the tubular ribbons, that are playfully attached to bikini tops and bottoms.

New stuff

New in Cyells collection are the tankinis with removable foam pads, push-up bikinis and twist-style bandeau-tops. The fabrics are becoming softer and smoother and therefore even more comfortable.

Beachwear

Dresses are still very much in fashion, and there’s a wide range of patterns and plain colors to choose from. And there’s also a plain-colored light wear lycra line with pareo, skirt and dress as the basic equipment. And once again Cyell presents “a choice of accessories in airy Modal without which your outfit for the beach would hardly be complete”.

I like this Cyell SS09 Beachwear line. Loads of color, loads of variation! More info at cyell.com…

Sonia is best known for her use of exquisitely soft and luxurious rayon lycra, hand treated with low impact dyes. Typically batik or crystal washes in a rainbow of colours, the rich fabric is fashioned into garments that make women feel alive and essential. The comfortable material and styling is more like second skin than clothing. And as much thought and effort as she places on the designs of the clothing, she gave the same effort to the name of the brand.

LOVE: as in sexy, irresistible, like chocolate.
TAN: as the body in the sun, an elemental sensation.
JANE: as in Tarzan, embodying the essence of woman, connected with nature.

Once you arrive at the beach or spa, the Towelini is removed and used as a beach blanket or towel for drying off when finished swimming. Made of one hundred percent organic cotton, the material is more absorbent and more comfortable than regular cotton. The colours include Coral, Lime Green and Turquoise Blue.

Another benefit of wearing the Towelini is saving on beach cover-ups. Not only does it avoid carrying a towel, but also, a sundress or other garment is not needed. The Towelini doubles as your towel and your dress. The website is informative instructing the users on different ways to tie the towel to make various dress or skirt styles and there is also a blog where Towelini’s progress is chronicled.
