Seattle is the basic of the Fantasie collections. All suits are available in Black with most also being available in the rich, vibrant Peacock! Choose the top that compliments your figure best – balcony, sweetheart padded, halter triangle, or bandeau tankini. Pair with the classic brief, short, or control brief all featuring the added touch of a belt. Want more coverage? A v-neck one piece with control lining is also available.

Marrakesh, available in Black, features both a plain and Moroccan inspired print. Mix and match choosing from a balcony bikini or halter triangle bikini top and a deep brief with belt or fold brief. A one piece is also available.

Print is also present in the Honolulu collection. Top options include a balcony bikini and underwire tankini. Bottom options include a classic brief and fold brief. All items are available in Peacock.

Not that you would want to cover up any of these amazing designs, but sometimes you just have to! Both lines offer very cute and classy cover ups. South Beach, a jersey dress by Freya, is available in both White and Coco. Cairo, a kaftan by Fantasie, is available in Black and Bitter Chocolate.

Look for all of these collections to hit stores later this fall. Perfect for that winter getaway you’ll need to take. In the meantime, summer is practically here! You still have time to snag a sexy (and well-fitting) suit for all the pool and beach hopping you plan to do this summer. Explore the current Freya and Fantasie swimwear collections at stores worldwide and online, including TLP favorite Boudiche as well as Lion’s Lair Specialty Swim and Belle Lingerie. I’ll be sure to let you know about my choice in the forums! Happy shopping!

What they’re saying is: hot pink, bright gold/yellow mixed with baby blue… Leigh Bantivoglio pulls it off! Oh Canada!

According to the designer — these are not just swimsuits, they are a fashion statement. wildblues collections greatly utilize animal prints, and metallics as a foundation. Alejandra enjoys utilizing animal print and metallics as she believes these prints speak to a womans inner being and reflect their inner strength and instinctual fierceness.

Wildblue swimwear recognizes that while the look of a bathing suit is important, fit is even more important. Alejandra Castillo strives to balance fit and design in all of her designs.

The 2008 Collection features one-pieces, bikinis and (the ever so popular) monokini. Accesories range from coconut shell details to rhinestones making the 2008 collection an entire venue of fashion and self expression at the beach.

Wildblue swimwear is available in high end boutiques all over the US, USVI & Asia. Get Wildblue Swimwear online at www.wildblueswimwear.com.

I’m not too sure about the designs — they’re not really my cup of tea; but I suggest you make up your own mind! We’ve got a lot of pics thanks to swimwearboutique.com.

As always, the detailing is impeccable. I love the keyholes on each side of the bikini. The addition of the bow above each is simply darling!

The photos seen here are from the “Peach Bellini” colorway. Age of Innocence is available at Macy’s West stores in June. Hopefully, the group will be arriving at a store near you (and me) in the near future as well!

More of the Pfiff Spring/Summer 2008 Collection to come soon.

Ever since 2000, Cyn & Luca has grown tremendously. The swimsuits have made it to the cover of Sports Illustrated and have been featured in the Victoria’s Secret Swim Catalogue — pretty hip stuff for any swimwear brand!

We’ve got some photos of the exotic (and very sexy) Live in CYN collection, a side-collection to the Cyn&Luca line, with a focus on fit… More info? cynandluca.com!

As always Cotton Club looks and feels Italian — I like! Prices between £175 & £200.

Both pieces on the Silk Storm site…

From the Silk Storm website: “Make a statement with this fabulous chic swimwear collection from Italian Designer Cotton Club. The new signature label Roberto Crescentini presents a stunning leopard print with floral design and swarovski crystal detail. Bikini bottoms feature side tie string and a matching skirt with side split”

“It’s not see-through either wet or dry, the material is breathable to prevent sweating, it is made with fast drying material and is easy to wash, [...], it is weightless and feels like a second skin”

Plus, you can tan your whole body without actually going naked on a public beach. Ha! That’s brilliant!

I’m a bit dissapointed in the styles the cooltan.com website has to offer, but that was to be expected. Time for the more stylish labels to pick up this fabric and turn it into sexy swimwear!
