Maaji and Raisins Christmas is almost here! Are you on Santa's naughty list or nice list? If you are on the nice list, maybe you will get a swimsuit under the tree. Luckily, it's still nice weather here in Florida and I got to wear my new knotted bikini from Raisins Swimwear. You may have noticed the "knot" trend. I was happy Raisins makes one that actually is adjustable when you tie the knot in the front of the suit. The back is bra-style with adjustable straps. I love the print and as you can see, it reverses to light pink! The top and bottom also have a subtle crochet detailing around the edges that give it a little extra beauty. This suit will be available in Raisin's spring 2018 collection called Pink Kiss. I love it! I also love my beautiful friend's bikini. We were able to coordinate our look since both bikinis are reversible. She got her Maaji swimsuit at Bikini Company in New Smyrna Beach. They have the largest and best selecti...

Spring 2018 Radio Fiji "Diamondhead" Tasha Bra Top and Tao Pant Bottom

Radio Fiji "All a girl really wants is for one guy to prove to her that they are not all the same." -Marilyn Monroe The same goes for bikinis. My newest Radio Fiji swimsuit is definitely not like the others and that's why I fell in love. It is so luxurious and soft! I had been wanting a velvet bikini and finally my dreams have come true. Trust me ladies, you will feel beautiful, classy and romantic in this new style. The trendy choker made me feel "dressed up" and the rose gold clasps are details that made me feel like royalty. For bottoms, you can choose between full coverage or cheeky style. I suggest cheeky, as usual, because the velvet feels like a lot of fabric as it is. There is also a fabulous velvet one-piece for a sexy yet elegant look. But, Paige, can you get it wet?! Of course I can! It's made of poly velvet, which is a polyester-spandex blend. It's still made to be a swimsuit and I got it wet. It does get a little heavier and t...

    Just Bones Boardwear™ and Wakesurf Orlando How's this for some swimwear inspiration? I decided to try wakesurfing for the first time. If it requires a bikini, my answer is always yes! I wore my Just Bones Boardwear™ high-neck bikini top with moderate coverage bottoms. I knew I wouldn't have to worry about adjusting my swimsuit while trying this fun water sport for the first time. I've wakeboarded and I've surfed but, luckily we do not need to know how to do either to get started. I met up with Tarzan from Wakesurf Orlando at Lake Conway. I spotted his 2017 Malibu boat right away. He was very accommodating and easy going. When planning, he worked around my schedule and was willing to meet me early one Saturday morning. I was given some tips and literally jumped in. I didn't get up right away and there were times I felt like giving up. It's like wakeboarding except your feet are not attached to board and the board slipped away from me. It...

Luminous Sol Swimwear The logo is luminous. The bikinis are luminous. The vibes are luminous. The owner has the most wonderful, positive energy about her and her kindness shines bright. You too can let your light shine with this new, radiant swimwear brand called Luminous Sol. I'm wearing the Ella top in a blush palm print that reverses to a lovely lilac color. Both are sensational colors on the skin! When you reverse the suit to the lilac side, the strings are still the pink palm print and it looks like heaven together. The fit and feel is excellent with an adjustable lace-up back. One of the things I loved most about it is that there was no padding, which made it look and feel smooth (along with a quick dry-time.) We are going to give away the sliding-triangle Anya top in the above sunset photo to one lucky winner on Instagram so, be sure to follow us, @foxyandpaige and @luminoussolswimwear, to be entered into the drawing . I just love my bottoms because they ar...

Sunsets are proof that no matter what happens, each day can end beautifully.

1) You can be free to move about and focus on activities like playing with your kids or swimming. 2) One-pieces are still trending and that means they are getting more fashionable. 3) They cover up problem areas so, you will feel more comfortable and confident. 4) They can be worn as body-suit and look cute with a sarong. 5) There aren't a bunch of strings to worry about and there's more fabric leaving much to the imagination. If you have any additional reasons to get a one-piece, feel free to add them in the comments section. Trident Swimwear by Koryophotography.com

Radio Fiji Vacationing on an island always sounds intriguing to me. I'm wearing my Radio Fiji bikini on the beautiful beaches of St. George Island, Florida. Hopefully I'll get to wear it while in Fiji one day, too. This is definitely one of the bikinis I'd pack for an island get-away. "That bikini is so cute!" is what I heard many times my first time wearing it. It put a smile on my face and gave me confidence while wearing it right from the start. It's not my typical triangle top string bikini. I'll let you know why Radio Fiji may be changing what's "typical." The bikini top has underwire! It also has a decorative elastic band around the ribs and adjustable bra-style straps. This was one of the most comfortable and supportive tops I've ever worn. The fit was excellent and I didn't have to worry about a thing. This Patina Bra top gave me just the right amount of push-up as well. This of course will add to your feeling-good vi...

Trident Swimwear Poseidon, the mythological god of the sea, has power of the water. He was able to use his trident to stir up waves and create sea storms. Mary Wright found the trident to be quite fitting for the name of her swimwear line. Like me, she grew up in Florida, loving life on the water. Her line is meant for the girl who enjoys an active, coastal lifestyle. You can be fearless in the water and in fashion with Trident Swimwear. Mary hand-makes and ships her swimwear from Saint Petersburg, Florida. That's where I had the opportunity to meet Matt for this east coast sunset photo shoot! It was so much fun. I felt confident in Trident swimsuits because of the excellent fit and the unique, flattering styles. I got to pick what I wanted to wear from many styles and see/feel first-hand the excellent quality of the swimsuits. They are adjustable, seamless and reversible. I also got to wear a stunning, black one-piece. The top I'm wearing features braided straps on th...
