Feeling Free in Esprit Swimwear

There’s no other swimwear brand that epitomizes the carefree, California sun-and-fun lifestyle the way Esprit does.

And that’s why this playful String bikini is a hit in our book for any cruise, pool party or beach bash.

With it’s bold, strong stripes in shades of berry and nautical blues, this sexy Esprit bikini is enough to get all hands (and all eyes) on deck in a hurry.

The bikini top ties in the neck and at the back and has slider cups that adjust for the perfect fit.

We love the youthful colors and the clean, simple stripes that capture the essence and soul of the surfer girl.

Whether you ride the waves in South Beach or hang ten in California… this two piece is a must-have for any serious surfer girl.

But it you just like to look good near the waves without actually riding them, this fun-loving bikini does the trick just as well!

If you haven’t a guess, we will give you a hint. This denim company is famous for its sexy black and white photography that has become the iconic look of the jeans world.

OK, you’ve guessed it! We are talking about the 2009 Guess Swimwear Collection. It is easy to say that the 2009 Guess swimwear collection has a bright future going into 2009. With lots of bling, Guess roars into the years featuring metallic stripes and lots of shinny dots to get you noticed.

Since creating its swimwear line Guess has always incorporated its signature suits with style that is easy to wear, yet striking. This lemon-hued halter bra with metallic retro dots is perfect for the girl who likes a little extra edge. It also comes in navy blue for when you need that perfect bikini for your next yachting expedition.

Betsey Johnson's Saloon Bikini

We couldn’t take our eyes off this Betsey Johnson stunner of a bikini from the swimwear designer’s 2009 collection.

We were at the Miami Swim Show last July for a first-hand look at Betsey Johnson’s newest swimwear pieces… and we were delighted with what we saw.

The model is sporting a sassy, borque print saloon bra bikini. The bikini bra is well constructed halter with an underwire for support.

And with Betsey Johnson, the devil is always in the details — the bikini top is edged with tiny ruffles to give it that sexy “bar saloon” look.

You can swap out the bikini hipster bottom for a same-print skirtini, or pair it with the soft-print white one (shown on the left). You can also wear one of those exquisite cover-ups over your bikini or as a stand-alone summer dress.

If there’s one thing Carmen Electra knows how to do well – is look super sexy in a bikini.

Cameras spotted the red-hot actress in the beautiful island of Jamaica at a posh beach resort sporting an ultra skimpy Brazilian bikini by Rebequinha.

Carmen’s wearing a slinky String bikini with adorable ruffle detail on the top and cute butterfly insignias on the bottom. This sizzling bikini will make definitely make heads turn at the beach, so buyer beware… bodyguards not included.

The Rebequinha line of swimwear became known for its spreads in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition. We love this brand because their swimsuits are cut with a Brazilian style that can transform the average bikini-ready body into a showstopper on the beach.

We’re told Carmen Electra absolutely loved this bikini. But these days, her only true love is Korn guitarist Rob Patterson. To show her love, the hot actress is sporting a new “R” tattoo behind her ear.

When Cameron Diaz hits the beach for some fun and sun, people notice. The striking bleach blonde beauty turns heads with her surfer girl looks and perfect body, but we couldn’t take our eyes off her choice of swimwear — a well-constructed, body hugging Rosa Cha bikini!

We know that the “What Happens in Vegas” star is more of a sporty beach girl, so seeing the likes of Cameron Diaz in a sexy, Sophisticated Brazilian two piece is all the more thrilling.

We give her a “two thumbs” for sporting this soft-toned, Bandeau Halter bikini with side ring detail like it was made for her (ahem… it probably was).

And yes, we do realize that the statuesque blonde could probably look good wearing her grandma’s house dress and slippers to the beach, but the fact that she chose to wear Rosa Cha – one of our favorite swimwear designers — says alot.

Here’s the good news… you don’t have to be a Hollywood star to look fabulous in Rosa Cha, and that’s why we love this designer.

In Hollywood, fashion trends are fleeting, but just like that little black dress that never steers you wrong, a teeny black string bikini is always a win-win for your getaway vacation.

Look how stunning Hillary Duff looks sporting this sexy halter-Bandeau bikini over the summer. We love that she accessorizes it with lots of arm and ear bling to complete the look.

We don’t know which designer the Hollywood A-lister is wearing, but it doesn’t really matter now, does it?

Any well made Black bikini that fits you well and hugs your curves in all the right places will do. Check out Rebiquinha’s striking two piece with the “Foxy” insignia on the bikini derriere.

Ali Larter who plays Sanders in “Heroes” looks absolutely fantastic in her micro String bikini as she saunters along a beach in Malibu. Of course, you don’t have a drop-dead gorgeous athletic Bond Girl-esque body to pour into that tiny two piece like Ali… but it certainly helps!

It doesn’t take much to make Vanessa Minnillo look like a million bucks, but she’s absolutely stunning as she frolicks along the beach in a delicious lollipop-stripe bikini by Vitamin A.

Cameras spotted the Hollywood actress sporting her Vitamin A two piece while on vacation with her love interest, Nick Lachey.

And Vanessa’s not the only celebrity who swears by Vitamin A swimwear.

The brand became a hot trend this summer causing other Hollywood A-listers such as Lauren Conrad, Kate Hudson, Sienna Miller, Jessica Alba and Gwen Stefani to purchase their own ‘barely there’ Vitamin A swimsuits.

Designer Amahlia Stevens has combined sexy swimwear elements with the perfect fit in her new collection of chic cruise wear. Most of her suits have signature ring or metal piece made of Italian hardware.

She plays a super hero on tv, but when she’s not busy trying to save the world, “Heroes” star Hayden Panettiere transforms into her alter ego — bikini beach girl.

We spotted the fun-loving beach bunny looking radiant and chic in a bright candy-striped, Vix Halter bikini this summer at Venice Beach.

And we can understand her love of Vix swimwear — the brand is known for creating flashy fashion with a Brazilian flair that is both youthful yet Sophisticated.

Among the VIX 2009 swimwear collection are exotic animal prints, bold stripes and unique details and embellishments.

So if you can’t make it to the sexy beaches of Brazil, wearing a Vix bikini is the next best thing. You can easily find wonderful colors and whimsical styles.

But we really love the brand’s signature d-ring embellishments on many of their halter bikini tops and bandeaus. Expect to see even more exciting pieces from this brand in 2009.

Don’t let the latest swimwear trend get your feathers all in a ruffle… because this season, romantic ruffles and soft frills are what’s hot!

We think this pink ruffled bikini inspiration from Aqua Bendida is simply fabulous.

The colorful ruffles work wonders on this model and have the effect of adding a extra little volume in the bust area. So if you need a little boost in the bust area, ruffles are the way to go!

You can wear bikini top ruffles or skirt around and sport frilly ruffles below the belt like some of Cyn and Luca’s fun pieces.

It doesn’t matter where you wear it, ruffles and frills are the “it” fashion statement right now in swimwear.

And we can see why — they’re fun, flouncy and feminine! You can easily get this look on the beach. Just find a bikini with some fabulous ruffle detail and wear it on your next getaway cruise vacation.

He bills himself as the “Austin Powers” of the bikini business, and one look at Red Carter’s sexy swimwear line will help you understand why.

Based in South Beach, the ecclectic swimwear designer has carved out a niche for himself by defining the “South Beach” look. He’s managed to create standout pieces that incorporate the feel and passion of SOBE.

That’s one of the reasons why we love Red Carter’s designs. We also love the way he uses unique prints and detailed embellishments in his swimwear elements. And the cutouts on his monokinis are to die for!

Red Carter’s iconic designs are so sought after that his fashion shows draw top celebrities such as Anna Kornikova. We give his swimwear for 2009 a big two thumbs up.
