Would do anything to be in a location that would be condusive to a bikini. Instead I am at the airport starting at a sheet of cold white snow.
HEATHER CLARK Jewelry is absolutely my favorite!!

Her jewelry would look beautiful with these swimsuits! The jewel tones always look great with the fun colors designers choose for swimwear.

I am dying over all the high waisted bikinis...Allude, D&G, Maurizio Pecoraro, Rosa Cha...love them all!

I'm wishing summer was here.
I hope I win this fab necklace! and come on over to my blog bc I'm having a giveaway today too!! xx
1) Must go do a million sit ups so I'll be ready for summer and can wear one of these adorable bikinis.
2) It must be summer and thus warm and hot enough to wear these!
I hate the winter!!
Thanks for sharing, this post must have taken you aaages to write and upload all of those stunning photos!
Totally worth it though, and out of all of them the Emilio Pucci bikini has to be my favourite.
Awesome post!

Sadly, my bikini days are over. Nobody wants to see the stretch marks the dude gave me. Ah ha ha. Good thing their are so many adorable retro one pieces a la Charlotte in the SATC movie!
Wow that Heather clark necklace is fabulous darling. :) Love the bathing suits I am a huge fan of the triangle shaped top. :)
I love all these retro-inspired bikinis -- so cute (and flattering!).
CC! Why must you torture us with the exquisite swimsuits! Ugh, now I want to be relaxing on a sunny beach somewhere :)
SUCH amazing suits! Great post... as always :)
That necklace is gorgeous, thanks for a fun giveaway. Bathing suits? I wish I could keep up my winter figure to look that great, love the black twisty leathery looking one! Wow, that was a mouth full, lol!

*sigh* This post makes me really want to go lay on the beach! And I must have all of these bikinis to take with me! :)
Oh carrie, this post is making me feel even colder!
I am going to be dreaming about the beach all day now. Hehe. Too bad it's like 20 degrees out here. Sigh. ;)
Feel like flying to Tahiti darling!
Happy friday...off to work now~

The variety of swimsuit styles is encouraging. I can't help but wonder whether there might be some influence from the lingerie as outerwear made so fashionable by Lady Gaga. I do wish the trend in models hired was more toward a less painfully thin look though. Some of these styles would look much better on someone with a more full real life figure and might help boost sales.
I'm def. jealous of anyone who's going somewhere tropical for the holidays! Love your picks, esp. the swimsuits with bandeau tops (my fav!). Thanks for the giveaway!!
xo, Becs
beautiful necklace...i adore pearls! thanks for hosting this =)

Some of those bikini pants are quite unflattering, even on the models, but apart from that, I really crave summer...
That necklace is veeeery pretty and would not only go perfectly with my bikinis but also with my winter wardrobe... ^^
