Black High Waist Bottoms

Our swimsuit bottoms this year are so flattering and functional! The high waistband can be worn up to provide extra tummy control or folded down for a more hipster style bottom. The leg cut is medium so you get all the coverage you need and still benefit from a long, flattering leg line. The high waist bottoms come in 5 different colors to match each swimsuit top.

Options, Options, Options

One of the things I love about the Twist Front Top, is the straps. Depending on your preference, you can wear the ties halter top style around your neck, criss-crossed in back, or straight back tank style. Or you can remove the straps all-together.

Available on the White Twist Front Top, Watermelon Twist Front Top, Navy Twist Front Top and Metallic Twist Front Top.

The Black Scribbles Halter Top

Wondering about that top shown with the Black Board Shorts? It's the Black Scribbles Halter Top. The print is artistic and fun and features black accents.

Black Board Shorts

It's true. This year we're offering board shorts! We've chosen a length for the shorts that isn't too short or too long. The shorts have a 3" elastic waistband so you get a perfect fit. There's also a velcro and snap-closure pocket in back for valuables.

The White Twist Front Top

I love the crisp white color of this Twist Front Top ... so refreshing.

The Red Wheel Halter Top

This halter top features red and white circles on a black background. I love how sophisticated and classy it looks. With the black trim around the neckline and ties in the back, it pairs perfectly with any black bottoms.

The Chocolate Brown Twist Front Top

This top is another version of our Twist Front Top in a Chocolate Brown Color. This is a great variation if you're used to wearing basic black and is more flattering on all skin tones.

The White Swim Skirt

This skirt is the perfect cover-up, but can also be worn in the water. The 4" band on the top can be worn up for extra tummy control, or folded down to shorten the length. There's also a fun slit on the side to allow for extra movement and create some interest.

The Topiary Halter Top

This print is one of my absolute favorites. The periwinkle color is to die for and I love the floral pattern. This halter top has a rounded v-neck with contrasting trim and straps that tie under the bust in the back. It coordinates perfectly with our Periwinkle Striped High Waist Bottoms (more to come on those later).

The Watermelon Twist Front Top

Yeah! The 2011 line is here and I can't wait to start sharing it with you. Each day until the launch on March 25, I'll give you a sneak peak at one of the suits in the line. I hope it makes you as excited about warmer weather as I am.I am in love with the Watermelon Twist Front Top. It is such a flattering style with a twist at the bust and ruching down the sides. Plus, you can really make it your own with the removable straps that can be tied around the neck, criss-crossed in the back or worn straight back (tank top style).

It's almost here ...
