Summer Sensations! Swimwear Edition (No. Uno)

...because it’s summer and the memories are just waiting to happen

I was asked to dedicate a post on styling swimsuits for summer, I thought this would be a great opportunity to extended my summer theme. 
The following posts will be a set collection on:
"How to Style": Summer Swimwear
I'll show you how to wear your swimsuit in style :)

Music to Match the Look:
"Laredo" x Band of Horses

During the summer season, a popular pastime is to go to the beach. I wanted to do a set collection on styling swimwear and being a South Florida native, I've been around the beach scene my whole life. Whenever I go to the beach I still put effort into my outfit, although you're going to be in the water, at some point you may go eat or shop on the strip. Especially in areas like Miami Beach, you want to appear fashionable...you never know who you're going to meet ;) 

Styling:

I chose this vibrant yellow fringe bikini for this set, this color would look good on women of any skin color. Yellow is a color that signifies summer, I think this color is perfect for a day on the beach. To accentuate this bikini, I chose to pair it with an Aztec printed cover-up. Wearing an over-sized shawl like this provides the perfect amount of coverage, while showing off your summer body. 

Shoes:

"Strappy Flat Sandals" by Zara

Summer Sensations! Swimwear Edition (No. Due)

Sandy Toes & Salty Kisses

Music to Match the Look:
"Alone Together" x Fall Out Boy

This goes out to all my fellow rocker chicks, I wanted to style something edgy so I decided to go with a Wildfox tankini top and high-waisted (graphic print) bottoms.

I love this look , its a bit retro..the sunnies give off a hippie vibe, they remind me of John Lennon. I decided to style this as a swimsuit only and just add a few accessories. Because of the rock & roll inspiration I had while styling this, I decided to make black the main color so that the bottoms are the focal point. I chose to accessorize this look with black jewelery,  I fell in love with these gun-stud earrings and they look awesome with a messy bun because you'll actually be able to see them. I also chose stack-able bracelets and matte black sandals.

Summer Sensations! Swimwear Edition (No. Tre)

My Heart Sleeps by the Sea...

Music to Match the Look:
"Blown Away" x Carrie Underwood

























I styled this swimsuit with some bohemian inspiration.

This a perfect outfit for a lunch date on the beach, the maxi skirt and vest builds an outfit around your bikini and the denim compliments this ombre dip-dyed fabric. I know a lot of people wonder why you should put so much effort into what you wear to the beach but, dressing for a day at the beach is one of the best events to style for. It's important to be prepared, you never know where you're going to end up once you head out for some sun. You don't want to find yourself at a restaurant in only a bikini and shorts...Plus, beaches like South Beach in Miami, Fl are flooded with celebrities, you never know who you might meet and natives tend to walk the strip in style. 

Remember, treat every day like a photo opportunity ;)

Summer Sensations! Swimwear Edition (No. Quattro)

Life's a Wave, Catch It!

Music to Match the Look:
"22" x Taylor Swift

For this set, I decided to pair high-waist swimsuit bottoms with a floral bikini top, the fun thing about picking swimwear is the aspect of mixing and matching. I decided to go with a light blue and floral pattern because this color would look great on any skin complexion. This is more a relaxed outfit, instead of pairing this with pants or a skirt, I wanted to style this swimsuit with a denim button-up shirt. These swimsuit bottoms are high-waisted so they provide more coverage than a regular bikini, you wouldn't be as exposed in this as you would be in the latter. I chose to style this look with black strapped sandals and I would wear a necklace like the one in the photo (above). I also chose to style this look with a metallic Michael Kors bag and a pink lip. 

I would personally wear something like this to meet up with my friends at a bar or a seaside fast-food restaurant like Johnny Rockets.
