That is until Mara Hoffman gets her hands on some fabric and comes up with one kick-ass swimsuit that captures the essence of fringe.  This is a swimsuit that is so chic and stylish; I think I want to wear it right now!  The fact that it is black is awesome and I love the large fishnet that she as done and then the fringe at the bottom.

Pair this with some heels and skip yourself out onto the beach because I can promise that you are going to get noticed in a swimsuit like this one!

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

The flower itself is actually breathtakingly beautiful and there are some things that you can not see at this angle and that is the rhinestones that are placed in the middle of the flower.  That small detail alone is absolutely incredible.

So for those girls that are a little bit bigger, check out Gottex – they make some of the best swimwear in the world that is not two-pieces!

However, you do need to keep in mind the fact that you do have to have a certain body type to wear this swimwear.  True Religion is one of those swimwear lines that you need to be extremely tiny and thin to wear – otherwise it is not going to look good at all.

This look is one of my favorites, but there are truly a ton of different styles out there that are done by True Religion, you just have to look for them!

Swimwear is something that is very difficult for most people to wrap their arms around and really find.  There are so many things you need to think about and you really need to feel comfortable in your choice.  That is why the Maaji Swimwear, in particular the Mosaique Couture bikini is by far one of the coolest looking and sexiest bikini’s in the world!

Not only does this swimsuit have a halter top with adjustable cups, but it also has a pulley neck tie two different colors of purple.  The bottom covers moderately well but the coolest thing about this particular swimsuit is the fact that it is actually reversible!  So you basically get two suits for the price of one!

So check out Maaji Swimwear next time you are looking for one – it is hot, sexy, chic and totally rocker!

I freakin’ love bikinis.  I have to say that bikini’s are something that everyone should be able to wear and I have to say that Benny Rosset really knows what he is doing when it comes to bikinis!  I mean honestly, take a look at these two beautiful pieces.  They fit right, they look incredible and I have to say that the fabric itself is absolutely awesome looking!

Whether you want a little funk in your style or you are looking for something that is just going to be a little striped, Benny Rosset definitely has you covered in both areas and it has to be said that the bikinis actually look amazing on.

I’m tellin’ you everyone; you should absolutely take a look at Benny Rosset’s new collection!  There is something special here, totally!

Luli Fama is by far one of the best designers for swimwear in the world.  This photo is one of the many in Luli Fama’s latest and greatest collection and I have to say that this cut out swimwear is absolutely incredible looking.  I love the fact that it has almost a leopard print on it that is black and white and I love, love, love the accessories that were picked!

This is a suit that will make a woman feel completely and totally confident in it and I swear that the top looks just as good as the bottom.  The cleavage factor is fantastic and all of the skin that this suit shows will definitely get you some cat calls at the beach!

So really, check out Luli Fama – they are the best in the world for swimwear!

We all know that swimwear is something that a lot of people have a really hard time locating – hell, even I do!  But whenever I am looking to look smokin’ hot on the beach, I turn toward Red Carter swimwear.  This incredible brand is actually one of the best for unique swimwear and I have to say that I have absolutely fallen head over freakin’ heels for all swimsuits by this brand.

Seriously – take a look at the swimsuits above.  Doesn’t they all just look incredible?  I love the way that the straps look and I overall, I love the fit of the swimwear.  The fit, the style, the attitude — it all looks amazing!

So whenever you are looking for fashionable swimwear, you should absolutely take a look at Red Carter swimwear, it is the best!

Betsey Johnson is a designer that I have absolutely fallen in love with over the years.  Not only has she surprised me on more than one occasion, but this chick is by far the best designer for swimwear in the world!  Personally – I’m all kinds of edgy and I love a designer that is just as edgy and I think that Betsey is one of those designers that is totally edgy in every way possible!

Take a look at the suit above.  Not only is this suit one of the most beautiful in the world, but it almost does not look like a swimsuit, which is something that I absolutely love about it!  It looks almost like a very mini dress and I think that is freakin’ sexy as heck!

The cool thing about this suit also is the fact that you do not have to be a size 0 to wear it – you can wear it with really any body shape and you should look totally hot in it!

If there is one thing that I love about certain designers, it is the fact that some of them are predictable and do not always offer up a lot of surprises.  That is what I am slowly but surely finding out with Huit 8.  This incredible designer is not one that is flashy all over the place and yet – I love it.  I think that the non-flashiness that is going on is something that is incredible and more and more designers should do it.

Check out this swimsuit.  This suit is actually just a plain, black suit but I love it!  There are some little designs on the side, the fit looks incredible and I have to say and Huit 8 is known for the durability of their swimsuits, so you know it is going to be quality-made.

So whenever you are looking for simple – get yourself some Huit 8!

One of the hottest trends this season is actually going to be metallic swimwear.  Now, not a lot of designers can actually do this type of swimwear but Melissa Odabash is the exception to every rule and she is by far one of the only designers that can do it and to it well!

Melissa Odabash completely rocks in the shape of the swimsuits as well – personally, I think that this model looks incredible in this beautiful swimwear and I think that everyone would agree with me right?

There is something about metallic swimwear that I think so is freakin’ sexy and incredible looking and whenever I see a Melissa Odabash original, I jump for joy!  While I’ll never own one personally, I definitely envy anyone that does!
