L*Space Puts a Twist On Style This Season

L*Space Swimwear designer, Monica Wise, has come up with some twisted bikinis this season...so cute!  So SEXY!  Monica has quite a following of loyal customers who love the L*Space clean styling and unique details.  These bikinis are not, "toe-dippers," but swimsuits that women really want to wear and look great in. She's given a twist to the traditional bandeau bikini and even put a turn, or two into the bottom of the Aquarelli Bikini.

L*Space has also come up with another unique, twisted bikini top with their Twister Taboo Bikini.

Halter top has twist in center with thin straps &gold bead details.  Bikini bottom has double straps at the hips and offers moderate coverage in back.

One of my favorite bikinis that Monica did this season is a very classy bandeau bikini, the Posh Bandeau with metal accents. Bandeau top has contemporary medallion in center, soft cups, side stays and ties in back. Bikini bottom has matching medallions at hips and provides moderate coverage in back.  Very sleek!

I know that Monica has been working hard to bring us bikinis and cover-ups that work for the American girl.  All I can say is, GREAT JOB!  Good luck to all of the L*Space Swimwear crew this year!

Marysia Swimwear - All American

In honor of the 4th of July, we would like to introduce to you a new line from the good ol' USA.  Marysia Swim is a delightful collection of inspiring swimsuits by Marysia Dobrzanska Reeves, done up in a pallete of  femininity and intimate elegance.  The frills show up, once again, as well as the high-waisted bottom.  I especially like the clever way that Marysia does tiny gathers, here and there, to create a new look. 

So, I'll make this short.  Please have a wonderful and SAFE 4th.
