The great thing about these particular kind of cover ups is the fact that you can leave the beach and head on out to dinner without having to change.  These actually look like sun dresses and they look absolutely incredible on any body shape – which is something that is very hard to do.

This particular cover up is from Tibi and it is something that looks incredible on any body type or with any skin color at all!  So the next time you are out on the beach, make sure that you check out maxi cover ups!

Academy of Art University has one of the top fashion schools in the nation with the most famous show in the industry.

You cannot discount Asha DeMarco’s swimsuit cover ups either. For example, I fell absolutely in love with this funky, 60s inspired Epiphany Kimono Cover Up from the unquestionably gorgeous Jet Set line. Goodness knows you can certainly be a jet setter in this gorgeous, contrasting kimono with its side slits and wonderful flared sleeves.

Andres Sarda is a Spanish lingerie and swimwear designer that has been extremely succesful in Europe for many years. This brand new beachwear looks great as always, and some of the new Andres Sarda University swimwear I just found at The Lingerie Post is breathtaking too!

Glamorous!

I have to say this is a huge collection and every piece is gorgeous! Considering the designer, Michelle Smith, was the first American employee sent to Hermés in France, one would expect the designs to be outstanding. Not only does she emphasize quality workmanship with a focus on details, even the name of the collection, Cabana, is well thought out.

What I love about this luxury beachwear ensemble is not only the elegant and glamourous designs but also, the use of fabrics not normally associated with swimwear. Take for example the lime green cashmere beaded cardigan. Who would think of cashmere on the beach or even at a resort? But the look is stunning with the cotton crocheted bikini and stretch cotton skirt finished with thick green waistband and pretty floral pattern band in the width of the white skirt.

Another example of the excellent use of varied fabrics is the silk chiffon hostess dress, a long gown with spaghetti straps, in Mosaic floral print. The large selection of caftans and cover-ups are also made from pretty shades of colours of silk chiffon. All of the bathing suits are made with printed lycra. Each one is unique from the Caribe Botanical Floral Print one piece to the Hawaiian Lei Print string bikini with ruffle trim.

I would not even know where to begin when purchasing from this collection. It is not too often that I adore every piece of a swimwear group.

There are quite a few online stores selling Betsey Johnson — so in stead of endorsing one or two we suggest you do a little google search. There are tons, really! If you’re looking for info on Betsey Johnson Intimates, take a look at the archives at TLP!

“Rygy understands that fashion is an expression of your lifestyle, so whether your style is to relax gracefully, to party glamorously, to walk the beach like a catwalk or to make it your sports arena, you are sure to find a beautiful suit in our collection that will fit your personality and your body style.”

Like I said before the bikinis are very sexy, and I like them a lot. As always I’ve selected my favorite looks from the collection.

Forced with the dilemma of wearing ugly and ill-made maternity clothes offered by department stores, she decided to learn to sew and make her own outfits. Of course, others saw her wearing them and she grew a well-received business.

It is particularly difficult for pregnant women to find bathing suits and beachwear that flatter their bodies, fit properly and look inconspicuous on the beach. I have to say I adore her gorgeous line of maternity swimwear. These ladies look incredibly sexy and clearly set the beach on fire with the subtle, elegant and fashionable designs. Each suit takes into meticulous detail the growing needs of pregnant women, their need for discreet clothing using linings, and the need to have certain areas of the body tactfully covered without looking like wearing a tent. Ever the stickler for details, she offers the suits in sizes up to 3X.

Another maternity company that grew out of necessity, albeit much longer ago in 1982, Blooming Marvelous was started by two ladies who saw a huge gap in the maternity wear market. One thing that sets this company apart from other maternity stores is the quality and effort put into the swimwear. The designs are exclusive, made to fit a pregnant body in all the right places and only use the highest quality fabrics and trimmings. The swimwear line includes one-piece suits, two-piece tankinis and halter tops as well as cover-ups and beach dresses. Most designs on their official website run to size 16 with a couple to size 18.

Indeed, it is true that some of the best businesses did not start with a dream and a business plan but rather an idea to make one’s own life a little easier.

Not this time though… I loved the photos a lot and decided to pretty much focus on them in stead. Sorry, and also… my pleasure! haha

Her 2008 collection is a real Ashley Paige-one. A lot of variety, a whole hell of a lot of color — and again with some stunning knitted pieces too. I’ve attached a big load of photos and I’m sure you’ll love a lot of ‘m.

More info is on Ashley Paige’s official website — pieces are sold in stores all over the US, including Saks Fifth Avenue and Henri Bendels.

£30 for that dress — can you NOT buy it? My Lord I’m in Love!
