Celebs Shine in the Hottest Trends at the CFDA Awards

Posted on June 13, 2013 by Taylor

Red carpets are always so great to style and trend watch on your favorite celebrities. Award shows like the CFDA Awards (the Council of Fashion Designers of America) are even better because they bring the best of the best when it comes to fashion. The most stylish celebrities, the hottest designers, and the sexiest models all walk the red carpet at this annual event. So many stars were on point with their red carpet fashions this year, it was hard to select our favorite trends. But a few definitely stood out- so here they are.

Whoever said “a little sparkle goes a long way” clearly hasn’t taken a look at these beautiful women. Head-to-toe sparkle commands attention and adds a glam-factor to an otherwise basic dress. Take the trend over to your luxury swimwear with high-quality gold hardware such as the chain detailing on the She’s Got A Way bikini and the Sipping Pretty bikini by Lady Lux. You’ll be the one commanding people’s attention while walking past poolside.

White can be a difficult color to pull off, which is why it seemed to be the color of choice for the supermodels at the CFDA Awards. When done right, however, white can look truly breathtaking and regal. If you’re not willing to commit to an all white gown that leaves little room for error, agree to smaller portions of white- such as on your designer swimwear. Truly, Madly, Deeply is a basic white bikini with beautiful gold detailing at the shoulders. Accessorize with gold jewelry to match and you’ll be ready to strut your stuff just like the goddess-like supermodels on the red carpet!

Cutouts seem to be a trend that just doesn’t want to die. It’s been huge all through spring and it’s starting to transition just as strongly into summer. It’s a great option if you want to add sex appeal to your look without being obvious. That concept is similar to swimwear. If you’re looking for a sexy option without being too obvious or revealing, try a monokini! The cutouts follow the hot trend that we’re seeing so often on the red carpet. With options like Love Bound, Heaven Can’t Wait, and Drive Me Wild- there’s sure to be something that suits your style!

Hayden Panettiere Goes Bold for Big Events

Posted on June 7, 2013 by Taylor

Hayden Panettiere is one of those starlets who’s slowly, but surely, creeping up the Hollywood status ladder. She’s starred in the hit television show “Heroes” and now leads the hugely popular show “Nashville” on ABC. It’s only a matter of time before the star makes her debut as a full-fledged Hollywood A-Lister. We’ve been monitoring the blonde beauty’s wardrobe for a while now. While she tends to stick to basics (black/white, t-shirt and jeans) while out and about throughout the day, she revs it up when she goes glam. Gone is the basic black, white, and denim and in walks a whole new starlet- complete with bright colors and fun patterns. Just because she’s rocking the bright colors and fun patterns in her evening gowns, doesn’t mean you can’t transfer that style over to your designer swimwear!

Our favorite color on Hayden as well as our favorite color trending for summer is coral. Hayden seems to love pairing the shade with a fun, youthful cut dress. Similarly, Lady Lux loves the color on fun, feminine swimsuits. Pretty Young Thing is that perfect shade of coral for summer, complete with glam gold accents. Another feminine option is Lost In Love, just in the case you’re more of a pearls girl…

Vibrant patterns are another great way to stand out at the pool or beach. Stripes are huge for spring and will probably be trending again for summer. When done the right way, they can be super flattering, which a lot of women don’t seem to understand. Pop them in at an angle like on Ready Or Naut, and the cut tapers your shape in- creating a more flattering line. A favorite of ours, as well as most of our customers, is the Sipping Pretty print. It’s unique enough to stand out, but neutral enough to remain safe. Add in some gold hardware and the suit is instantly put in the “luxury swimwear” category.

For another bright option, try either purple or aqua. The rich shade of the purple Unforgettable bikini is luxurious and glam. Want to take inspiration from Hayden’s purple and jade look? Throw on some aqua or jade accessories to add some contrast to your solid purple bikini! Or, do it vice-versa by adding purple accessories to you aqua Paradise bandeau!

Memorial Day Sales at Lady Lux Swimwear

Posted on May 24, 2013 by Taylor

If you haven’t been to our website in a while, you may not have heard- everything at ladyluxswimwear.com is 25% off now through Monday! That means some of your favorite designer swimwear styles such as Melt Away and Sipping Pretty are priced lower than they’ve ever been! This is as low as they get too for this season! So get ready for your Memorial Day weekend with some super sexy luxury swimwear! To help you prepare, we’ve pulled a few styles that work great for the patriotic holiday weekend.

Ready or Naut is our most popular nautical style. The stripes are super popular right now and the ruffles and bows add a touch of sweetness to the otherwise sexy swimsuit. An easy way to style your look with this bikini is with a feminine, sheer white dress. The bikini will show through under the dress and provide a mysterious peek-a-boo effect. Accessorize with pops of color in your jewelry- or, if you’re feeling festive, layer on the red! Red, white, and blue go perfectly for the patriotic weekend!

Sea Dreamy is another great nautical option. The white color will show off your golden tan you’ll get while on vacation over the holiday weekend. When styling your look, keep in mind this is a more retro, playful style. So, throw on some high-waisted shorts and sky-high wedges to look the part! Soft curls will keep you from looking too harsh for the pool or beach. Complete the look with some over sized cat-eye sunglasses and a bright red lip!

Remember, the More Than A Feeling bikini is also on sale as the “Designer’s Pick” for only $130, just in case you’re not feeling nautical… This separate sale ends Monday as well! With these kinds of options, you’re bound to find something that suits your style for Memorial Day!
