Swimsuit Fever

Summer is just around the corner, and I figured it was time for me to dedicate a blog post to some of my favorite swimsuit pieces I have spotted so far this year.

Insight Summer Bright Bandeau Top - $49.50 Pacsun

This striped bikini top has just the right amount of neon to make you stand out this year, whether you're at your local pool or on the beach. The bright color and shape of this top also gives the illusion of a larger bust. Try pairing it with high-waisted bikini bottoms for a complete look.











Op Juniors Rainbow Strap bikini bottom - $12.00 Walmart

The cut-out look has made it's way to bikinis, and I love it. This bottom is relatively cheap and has cute pops of color. It could be paired with almost any top. You can find Op swimsuits at Wal-Mart and mix-match pieces for the perfect set.






Hurley Anyway Swimwear Top - $49.00 Buckle

 I immediately fell in love with the color of this sweet halter top, and it has a great amount of coverage for bigger cup sizes especially.








 99 Degrees Day Tripper Swimwear Bottom - $28.50 Buckle

The tribal print decorating these bikini bottoms is super sweet, and it's not a string bikini so you don't have to worry about it falling off unexpectedly. The colors can match with different solid tops, or a completely different printed top. It's up to you!














Bombshell Push-Up Halter Top in frosted fern - $98 Victoria's Secret

 Bombshell bras at Victoria's Secret promise you 2 extra cup sizes and the bikini halter top is no exception (I personally own one in black, and I LOVE IT) I adore this print because it doesn't look too much like lingerie. You can find cheaper tops too!











Betsey Johnson Romance Triangle Top & Skirted Bottom in Berry Cool - both pieces $78.48 on islandtrends.com

Betsey Johnson is known best for her quirky and fun designs, and this is my favorite set of her 2012 swimwear collection. I love the mixed media aspect of the design, it's very three-dimensional and interesting. For those who are uncomfortable with triangle tops, there is also a halter top in the same design.

The matching skirted bottom is totally cute, best suited for girls with longer legs and larger hips. The string bikini version also exists, but I do think that this featured top and bottom would make the best combination.
