The tube top includes a detachable neck strap and removable pads for versatility. Cono que LINDO!!!

Can’t help it, even though I’m not a tween or a teen, I just love Miley Cyrus. It’s so refreshing to see a teen be a regular teenager…. and with that in mind I was surprised and happy to see her in a cute (age appropriate) modest Retro Swimsuit which is so in style right now!
As you can see Miss Cyrus wore a flirty yellow and orange retro-style swimsuit as she splashed in the waves with a few gal pals, making the most of the beautiful Malibu surroundings. (source)

Safe to Say Jessica Simpson can quit her day job : ) — If she ever decides to give up singing it’s f
or sure she can be a swimwear designer!
Jessica Simpson recently launched a swimwear line. She already has a skincare empire, hair e xtensions line and a shoe and clothing line. Now that’s an entrepreneur!
Flirty prints, sexy cuts, girly touches and smokin’ one-pieces reflect what we’d expect the singer to wear herself.
The new line includes all kinds of sexy bathing suits, from skin-bearing tiny two-piece bikinis to the more modest but tasteful one-piece suits. Color and texture were key ingredients in the Simpson swimwear success.
I have to say, I like her styles. Guess you’d have to say her line will be a swimming success.

The pink highwaisted bikini by Ujena allows more coverage and control to the stomach and rear. 
This full coverage bikini will make you look slim, trim and sexy. The lipstick pink twisted Halter Top and Banded Bottoms support your curves in all the right places. Perfect for all body types and extra sexy on fuller figures. Or in a movie.
Samantha ( Kim Cattrall) slipped on a high-waisted black bikini in “Sex and the City: The Movie” in the scene where she walks her dog and stumbles upon her male neighbor taking an outdoor shower.
“I think Kim looked great in her high-waisted bikini; it really flattered
her womanly, curvaceous figure and complemented her chic sense of style,” said Franceska Luther, creative director of Myla, whose pearl g-string was worn by Cattrall’s Samantha on the TV show.
The high-waisted style heralds back to the full bottoms that graced such beauty icons as Marilyn Monroe, Debbie Reynolds or even Gidget. The retro glamour look is a key fashion influence that is set to be around for a while as it is both flattering and very fashionable,” Luther said.
High-waisted suits usually appeal to older women, but —a trendy haven for tweens, teenagers and 20-somethings—is selling (now on sale for $9.99) along with other retro patterned and style retro swimsuits..
Shoshanna Gruss, designer and owner of the Shoshanna clothing line, known for cuts that accommodate curves, said successfully wearing the style depends on your body and personality. “They are great for women who want to conceal their midsection or for someone with a terrific shape who is looking for something a little different from a fashion perspective.”
But don’t worry if you don’t have a celebrity’s body head to toe, said Tara Stewart, market editor for More magazine. “The swimsuit style draws your eyes upward to better assets.” “Just get the correct measurements of your bust, torso and waist,” she added. Then: “Put confidence behind it so you can pull it off.”
It always gets back to confidence doesn’t it? : )

Just came across a very
interesting and unique site today called Lileks. It’s a great historical trip down memory lane with pictures and info about swimsuits through the ages. From swim caps, to gold lame to leather and now. Here’s a sampling of his work:
Here we have Betty Koch at the Outdoor Ceramic Tile Testing Grounds, modeling “the 24 carat.” The copy reminds women that it is better to dress up in the color of a historically stable medium of exchange than pursue an individual career:
“All that glitters here is gold. It’s gold lastex woven in a diam
ond pattern. This is the kind of suit that makes man see stars at high noon. The suit costs $60.00 but is guaranteed to make your figure your fortune. In fact it does more for a girl than money in the bank.”
Really, that’s what it says. When did money in the bank buy you a drink, complain about its wife, get cigar ash on your dress and grope you in the taxi?
Compare yesterday’s suit with that of today : )
