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!

Kendall Jenner- Instagram Star and Style Star

Posted on June 3, 2013 by Taylor

It seems as though everyone has heard of the Kardashians. Whether they’re on TV, modeling, or doing promotional appearances- they seem to be everywhere at once. One particular member of the Kardashian clan, however, seems to be making a large name for herself for her talent with modeling. Kendall Jenner (the half sister of Kim, Kourtney and Khloe) is a stunning 17 year old on the fast track to becoming one of the top models in the world. Not only that, but she has fans who are constantly watching her every move through her social media outlets like Instagram (of which she has well over 5 million followers). Because of that, we pulled some of our favorite Instagram posts from the starlet, showcasing her great taste in clothing and styling. Then, we’ll show you how to get the look using your own designer swimwear.

Chevron is a pattern that seems to be popping up everywhere this season. From fingernails to pillows, walls to clothing, it’s a pattern that just doesn’t quit. Kendall was spotted wearing the print in black and white on a strapless peplum top. Our Crazy For You and Call On Me bikinis both feature the print- but in fun colors such as purple, turquoise and orange. The bright colors make the print friendlier for summer- which is fast approaching!

In this Instagram post, Kendall showed on a tiny bit of her top. The small bit that we could see, however, looked so similar to Secret Escape, we just had to include it! The ruffles on the floral luxury swimwear makes it even more feminine, which is great for not only spring, but also summer! This style of top would be great to layer underneath a strapless top to show off the floral pattern and ruffle detailing on the trim.

The turquoise dress that Kendall snapped a pic of caught our attention immediately. Not only does the color look gorgeous on her, but the simplicity of the cut doesn’t distract from the beautiful color. Similar to that, the Paradise bandeau follows the same concepts. The turquoise color has a slight shimmer to it- creating a beautiful shine in the sunlight. The cut of the swimsuit is understated and simple, with not a lot of extra details to distract from the gorgeous color. We would love to see how beautiful Kendall would look in this suit!

We’re excited to keep tabs on Kendall! The starlet has a bright future ahead of her and we love watching her style evolve!

Jennifer Lawrence Pulls Off Spring’s Hottest Hues

Posted on May 28, 2013 by Taylor

Jennifer Lawrence has gone from an up-and-coming teen star to a full-fledged Hollywood A-Lister seemingly overnight. Her style choices are often fairly safe, but elegantly classic. She chooses classic silhouettes that flatter her curves and shape to perfection. While not all of us may be able to pull off some of the silhouettes she’s so often seen in (i.e. the Dior stunner from the Oscar’s), it definitely is possible to take inspiration from her color choices.

Bright teal is one of our favorite colors for the season. The Paradise bandeau is not only similar to the teal dress Jennifer was spotted in, but the slight shimmer in the fabric adds an extra touch of glamour. Add in the aqua jewelry at the center as well as each hip and the swimsuit screams luxury swimwear. The color is also fairly easy to pull off for a few different skin tones. If you haven’t quite gotten the tan you’ve been hoping for yet, the color isn’t so bright that it washes you out. If you’re lucky enough to sport a beautiful golden tan, the bright color bounces off the tan and really pops.

While black may not be a “bright hue”, it’s a popular color choice for designer swimwear lovers across the board. It also (believe it or not) is a hard color to pull off while still managing to stand out. Jennifer Lawrence shows us a great way to wear the color- with some perfectly placed cutouts. The cutouts keep the color youthful and will ensure that you still stand out at the pool or beach. Sexy monokinis like Love Bound are a great option when trying to achieve that cutout effect. Otherwise, you could go for a sexy basic black bikini such as Truly, Madly, Deeply with extra detail like the gold hardware on the straps.

Jennifer Lawrence is definitely a fan of the basics- white and black. She definitely pulls those shades off with grace and class, but we also love it when she’s spotted in brighter hues. For this photo shoot, she paired a royal purple top with a burnt orange pencil skirt- a risky combination that really stood out. The color of her top is a showstopper, similar to Unforgettable. To achieve Jennifer’s look, pair the purple suit with some orange jewelry and accessories. A good tip- when looking to accessorize with opposite colors than what you’re wearing, shoot for complimentary colors (or colors opposite from one another on the color wheel) and then go one or two shades to the right or left to avoid looking like a school mascot (who often choose complimentary colors).
