Swimwear Inspiration

"You have to hold onto your fantasy." Betsey Johnson

Hooray for Raisins Swimwear! Designing and making a bikini that has everything we want is not an easy task. The top is a stylish high neck. I love that it's not your typical high neck because it has ruffles and a flower print with a hint of pink. It is supportive and gives your bust a fuller appearance. The back of the top has a beautiful detailed "racerback" which is not only stylish but is also comfortable and beneficial to your body. The bikini bottoms I'm wearing are a black-and-white print that can be worn with this top or other tops you may own. They are also reversible to the flower print. The bottoms have detailed strappy sides that are trending in the bikini market right now, with medium coverage in the back. In this Raisins bikini you can feel pretty and confident while swimming, jumping off of rocks, playing with the kids or doing water sports. That's why this bikini is an All-in-One choice for me!  Do you have a bikini that has it all...

Platinum Sun Watersports and Fitness Apparel Imagine paddling yourself down a river while watching dolphin play right by the board you are standing on. No worries, no care. Get out there and go stand up paddleboarding! There are many ways to have fun and keep a positive body image for your swimsuit-wearing days. This is your "swimwear inspiration" right here. I chose to wear my Platinum Sun yoga set this time because I wanted to be comfortable and secure when doing paddleboarding yoga but, I enjoy paddleboarding on sunny days in my bikini too, of course. There are so many benefits to SUP so, I've made a list for you. 1) It's good for your mind. The mental benefits of exercise and being outside are enough on their own. Paddleboarding can be very peaceful and you can clear your mind. It's been known to relieve stress. 2) It's good for your body. It's an overall body workout (with low-impact) and a lot of cardio to help your heart. You can tone...

DanaLouFit & For the Love of Water What do you think of the colorful DanaLouFit bikini I'm modeling in the top photo? It is much more than meets the eye. That is sweet Dana Lou modeling in the center photo and our talented underwater photographer modeling in the photo below her. I'm honored to team up with these beautiful souls and their "For the Love of Water" campaign. Kick back and relax to find out more. Dana started her fitness apparel line with heart and experience. Her designs are functional and comfortable for an active lifestyle. She personally makes and tests out patterns before production. With a specialization in active wear, it was a perfect idea to make swimwear as well. The one-piece swimsuits and bikinis are adjustable, stylish and feel amazing on. My high-neck top and brazilian bottoms are great for swimming, surfing and more. I love the trending "wrap around" top with brazilian bottoms Tristine is wearing. You can also get ...

TheBrightestColor.com connects you to multiple brands. Seen here is the San Andreas bikini set by Camila Swimwear.

Just Bones Boardwear™ (Photos by Ynot Digital) Where can you find a swimwear brand to fit the needs of both a pirate and a mermaid? Look no further because Just Bones Boardwear™ has it all. The skull and cross bones surfing logo is what originally attracted me to the Just Bones company but, by looking into it's depths I've discovered a treasure! Most of the brands I usually write about focus on women's swimsuits. Just Bones Boardwear™ began it's company with just board shorts. Due to the market and fascinating design, they've expanded their products to reach men, women and children. The patented adjustable waist makes Just Bones board shorts better than the competition. The fun, tropical print of the men's Maui board shorts seen here is eye-catching to any mermaid, however, it's the back flap around the waist that is hiding a secret. Guys, boys and girls can lift the flap at the back of their board shorts to adjust the waist as ne...

The Bikini Company was started in 1983 to ensure that all women could find the perfect swimsuit to fit their needs. Now, with over 30 years of expertise, it has grown to exceed that goal and more. I have never written about an actual store because I've never been to a swimwear store that has as much of a selection as Bikini Co . They have my all-time favorite brands, such as Maaji, O'neill, Vitamin A, Body Glove, Ale by Alessandra, Billabong, Seafolly, Becca, Luli Fama, etc. They also have brands new to me that are right up my alley, like Isabella Rose and Bikini Lab. You can mix and match, too. There are literally hundreds of styles for both tops and bottoms. One of the things I love the most is that it is family owned and operated by the nicest people. Everyone knows I love bikinis, however, I want to help spread the word that there is so much more than just teeny bikinis at Bikini Company! Swimwear tops are available up to a G-cup and they have a plethora of beaut...

PLATINUM SUN (available at Amazon.com) Summer is here and it's time to wear swimwear every day. So, get your fitness and water sports apparel on first! From the wonderful company that made my rainbow rash guard, I bring you active-wear by Platinum Sun. As I've mentioned before, I really love everything about this passionate brand (search "I'm Going Platinum.") You can see by the picture I put at the top that I feel like a true warrior doing the yoga warrior pose on the beach in my new snakeskin sports bra and capri leggings. All of my Platinum Sun active wear seen here has ergonomic fit. What does that mean? It's a contoured fit that provides flexibility and increases flow of oxygen to your muscles while working out for that bikini body. The quick-drying, antibacterial fabric keeps you cool and dry. I enjoy wearing Platinum Sun clothing because they are comfortable with a wide waistband, fitted, soft and thick. Not only does the fabric look cool, it...
