Ready for vibrant, almost electric swimwear to make you stand out at the beach and possibly even underwater?

If you like being noticed at the beach and want swimwear with an original flair, Agua Bendita might just be the answer.

We fell in love with this vibrant, multi-colored two piece bikini when it debuted and the Miami Swim Show last July at the Miami Convention Center.

It’s a beautiful String bikini with jewel tones and unique colors reminiscent of the hues you might see underwater. And it’s so sexy and festive that it just makes sense to pair this suit with accessories.

You can’t help but think that even the sun will notice you and smile a little brighter in such a delectable swimsuit.

It’s all part Agua Bendita’s vibrant swimwear collection. And the Agua Bendita brand is getting noticed… one of their swimsuits was featured in the 2008 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.

So if you want to make a big splash both on land or in the ocean, put on an Agua Bendita swimsuit and get ready to watch the sparks fly.

When it comes to cutting-edge, high-fashion swimwear with a playful twist, fashionistas and celebrities alike count on Salinas for the hottest swimwear designs in the industry.

This summer at the Miami Swimwear Show in July, we got a bird’s eye view of Salina’s stylish swimsuit fashions that likely set the trend here in sexy South Beach and at other metropolitan beach destinations around the globe.

We’re excited about the Salinas 2009 Collection! The brand has gotten back to a theme of youthful, bright prints with a lot of detail. The feel is young yet Sophisticated at the same time.

While incorporating new elements, Salinas stays true to their signature styles — creating hip, mismatchy and in-the-moment suits that embody the perfect blend of upscale chicness.

Bikini Hot Pants are Hip

Would you believe that this retro-inspired, well-constructed and ultra-taylored outfit is actually a two-piece swimsuit designed for the beach?

We didn’t believe it either until we saw it debut at the Miami Swim Show in July. This stylish two piece in deep plum is from the Alexis Barbara “Gabriella” swimwear collection. It’s a chic triangle top that connects in the center, ties in the back and features attractive breast pockets and ruched, broad shoulder straps.

It’s paired with a sexy hipster boy short accented with front pockets and belt loops. You can swim in it or just enjoy looking good in it without ever going anywhere near the beach.

In fact, we think you could easily get away with wearing this sexy bikini with some vintage go-go boots, arm and neck accessories — a long necklace or a trendy scarf to set off that plunging v-neck would be perfect — and a belt to accent the hips.

You could transform from bohemian beach chic by day to mod party girl at night and then head to your favorite club in South Beach!

Swimwear Trend for 2009: Romantic Ruffles

Ruffles and frill-inspired bikinis are making big waves in swimwear for 2009. Our Swimwear Team saw models sporting everything ruffled from Triangle tops to bandeaus, and frilly skiritinis at the Miami Swim Show.

We saw lots of ruffles and frills peeking out whenever and wherever they could and we expect them to make headlines in next year’s swimwear. There were ruffled skirtinis from Betsey Johnson Swimwear, embellished frilly triangle tops by Pistol Panties, bandeaus, soft ruffle-edged bikini bottoms and flouncy cover-ups.

But we almost died and went to swimwear heaven when we stumbled across this unbelievably sexy, Ann Margaret-inspired bikini stunner from local Miami designer, Alexis Barbara.

Check out the wooden pull-thru hardware detail on the neck tie.

The ruffled Sliding Triangle to is elegant, sexy and oh-so-prissy! And if you’re a little light in the cleavage department, ruffles add layers that help to fill you out. The long, strappy tie sides help make this gorgeous two piece a winner in our book.

And it’s definitely a winner on sexy model/actress (bottom left) Michelle Hunziker. She was spotted on Formentera Island wearing a similar version of the Barbara bikini.
