I totally love the third model! YAY!
XoXo
wish i was going somewhere this summer that required pretty swimwear! sigh. ah well. i will have to content myself with daydreaming lol. pretty pretty pretty! xxxc
Such a pretty swimwear! Normally I prefer bikini, but those models are amazing!
Adore the vintage inspired shape & style...enjoy those 'Esther Jane Williams' old movies & the glorious pool scenes! Hope you have a lovely weekend darling! ~XO*
Oh I can't wait to get to the beach and this post was so insipiring! The one from Gucci is amazing, would look so elegant with sunnies, pashmina and a big hat at Italian & French Riviera..
I must agree that a maillot can be so flatering and sexy!!!!
I'm more of a bikini fan, since the part I hate most of my body are my legs, so they'll be out with a one piece just as with two pieces LOL
Inspirational post, dear.
xoxo
love these suits!
check out my blog if you have a chance,

I love it so much! The fact is: they are so much more classy than a two pieces model...I so need one like these!
Kisses!!!

don't know what to pick. maillot are very flattering to various body shape uh.
I don't know why girls don't wear one peice bathing suits that much, just because you are skinny does't mean you can only wear bikinies.
VERY LOVELY.
keep it sexy
franco out!
Those are wonderful pieces, dear!
Especially the last one.

boubou

each and every piece is sexy!
oh yes!!!!!!!!11 the Michael Kors & Oscar de La Renta are magnificent :o)
Have a great weekend :)
Oh the sun here in london has been making me dream of swimwear..although at the moment i'm far too pasty to even consider it..

Hola guapa, vivo en Cadiz, aunque soy de Sevilla. He visto que has puesto cosas de Gap. Me encanta esa tienda, cuando estuve este veranoen EEUU arrase, compre muchas cosas pero ahora es una pena no poder comprar allí. Tu si puedes!
I love how the maillot has evolved over the decades. What used to be
matronly has turned more sexy~
I am obsessed with everything in this post!
yay summer is here. yesterday my thermometer said 100 degrees.
I agree with Franco, maillots are so hot! I've been lusting for one for awhile and those ones at VS and AA are totally cute! Now I'm gonna go get my shop on. Oh, and hit the gym :(
I like maillots, but i like so much having a tan so i dont know if i would use them. but they are gorgeous anyway :)
The black Gucci is hot! Perfect for a villa eve with family peeps, obviously trashy beach wear is another story entirely. Ooh tan lines, I feel summer xoxo
Hello darling,
The yellow one is so cute.
See you soon.
;)
Michael Kors and Abaete = love. I think I'm coveting an itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot...maillot!"
Delias is actually my favourite, go figure! Well, that and Michael Kors - I just adore his resort wear..and everything else he does!
Ooh now Im desperate to go shopping for new beachwear!!
I'm buying that AA swimsuit for summer! :) xoxo
I own like 25 bathing suits. I usually don't wear the same one twice during the summer LOL!

I'm rarely tan since I live in NY but if I wasn't so concerned about tan lines I would grab a one piece suit in a heartbeat!
love these suits! i might havta get one for this summer getting tired of the bikini.

These are lovely, I've always been such a fan of the one-pieces.
Your posts are fantastic... I love the way you threw Barbie in.xo
I've been into retro bathing suits for a while, but I'm loving the incorporation of modern elements! Cool post! :)
i love how one-pieces are making a comeback. my faves are abaete and the belted oscar. j'adore.
the "barbie" ones is pefect love stripes for the beach!
i want the barbie one!!
x
I'm more a bikini girl. Mostly because I'm not going to buy designer swimwear because I live in London not Cali and I don't think the highstreet makes very nice suits.
So many adorable swimsuits!
I would go with the beautiful Chanel one
or with the Juicy Couture butterfly swimsuit!
HAPPY SUNNY SUNDAY!
Hmmm, super blog...!!
I'm normally a bikini girl, but you have tempted me into a one piece. These looks are amazing! I love the more 50s style shapes
they have such an old fashioned look to it! i like the yellow one at lacoste!

i love that 2nd floral, print one!

I am totally loving the one piece bathing suit for summer this year! All these styles are so gorgeous. The vintagey feeling ones are my favourites, like the Oscar de la Renta and the Michael Kors (I loveee the reference to Barbie!!) xx
Gorgeous hair and beautiful purple suits... ahh, reminds me of when I was in high school and Vogue magazine was my veritable Bible... my mom got me a subscription one year for Christmas and I felt very official and not to mention, had a great infusion of fashion in my mailbox....
damn i love it all ::drooling:: woman are such beautiful creatures
Michael Kors did an awesome job with swimwear this season. His Hamptons-meets-pin-up styles are timeless and chic!!
I adore the first and last ones!
These are so so beautiful! I have to buy one this summer:)
You know i have a newly found obsession with one piece swimwears. U can totally rock them as a top!!!
j'adore your blog carrie!
will be linking you. :)
All of these are striking and chic! Where do you get your ideas from, CC? Your brain must be full of beautiful images! x
The Givenchy one TOTALLY wins.
Goood, pure love !
I love this post! I buy one bikini and at least one one-piece every year...I think that they are so much fun and sexy!
I love these--especially the second to last blue one...I have too many bikinis...I think I'm going to change it up for this summer!
I'm so excited for the summer time! I definitely need to go maillot-shopping soon!
loving this post (surprise surprise)...jetting off to Maui soon and really love the one piece look. thanks for the fantastic inspiration.
Swimsuits are SO adorable, you know I love the retro feel of some of these ;~)
