Maria Menounos in Both Patterned and Solid Swimwear

Posted on June 17, 2013 by Taylor

Choosing the perfect swimsuit for your style can be tricky. There are so many options- from triangle to bandeau, to prints and solids. Maria Menounos seems to be well aware of these options, as she’s so often spotted in her designer swimwear at the beach- all of which fall under such different categories. So, how do you choose? We’ll break down some of the benefits of some of the different options so you can choose the luxury swimwear style that best suits your needs.

So how do you know if a patterned suit is right for you? Patterned suits are great if you have insecurities about your body. The fun patterns will often distract the eye from any lumps and bumps you may have on your figure and bring the attention to the swimwear. Add in some fun hardware, ruffles, or other detailing and the attention towards the suit is kicked into overdrive. The sparkly gold of the hardware on the Sipping Pretty bikini really catches the eye, combined with the unique and busy pattern. The flirty floral of Secret Escape is bright and fun, which brings the focus away from your figure and back towards the suit. All-in-all, you’ll still gain the attention you deserve at the beach or pool without having to be nervous about any insecurities you may have about your body.

Solid colors are also really great when it comes to your luxury swimwear- as Maria shows us. By making sure your solid bikini has extra special features on it, you’ll be sure to stand out, regardless of the monochromatic color. If you’re working with a great tan that you want to show off, a solid swimsuit can also be great. Choose a solid shade such as white (if you’re extra daring) in order to bring all eyes to your golden tan. By bringing in glam hardware such as the gold detailing at the hips and shoulders on Unforgettable and Truly, Madly, Deeply, your solid bikini will be anything but plain. Layer on the accessories to glitz your look up even more.

If you don’t have concerns about your figure or any other issues regarding your swimwear, then simply choose a suit that speaks to you! The more you enjoy what you’re wearing, the more confident you’ll be, and therefore the more beautiful you’ll appear!

Styling Jennifer Aniston with Lady Lux Swimwear

Posted on June 14, 2013 by Taylor

Jennifer Aniston is a great example of a hollywood A-Lister that just doesn’t quit. From making her big debut in the 90′s as Rachel on “Friends”, to starring in blockbuster hit after blockbuster hit- she’s a woman that will be in the public eye for years to come. Men want to date her, women want her fit physique, and luxury swimwear companies such as Lady Lux want to dress her. Although she’s already approaching her mid-40′s, the woman looks just as youthful as she did back on “Friends”. When it comes to fashion, she tends to take on more basic silhouettes and what some would call “safe” options. If Lady Lux had the option to dress Jennifer for the beach, here is what we would put her in.

When it comes to dressing up for more formal events, Jennifer loves to keep it simple and stick to muted colors most of the time with minimal accessories. Designer swimwear such as Truly, Madly, Deeply and Pretty Young Thing are great options. Both have basic color palettes and minimal hardware. The hardware that is there, however, spices up the suit and gives it that extra sparkle- to brighten up what would otherwise be a plain black or white suit. Personally, I think the white Truly, Madly, Deeply suit would look great on Aniston. Her tan skin and toned figure creates the perfect combination to be able to pull off a white suit such as this one.

In contrast, every once in a while Jennifer is spotted in a super-bright pop of color on the red carpet (note: this is very rare). Nevertheless, we love when she does this. The silhouettes are still kept simple and the accessories still toned down, but the hues are turned all the way up. Most often she’s spotted in shades of red and orange (such as the dresses above), but we think she would look great in a royal purple bikini such as Unforgettable. The color would pop against her sandy blonde hair beautifully. To stick with her “safe” color palette, we also think she would look great in Pretty Young Thing in coral. The coral color is what she’s used to working with and the solid is easy to wear. Both Unforgettable and Pretty Young Thing have some gold hardware, but are overall basic suits- something Jennifer is comfortable with. The gold hardware just gives it that edge needed to glam up her look for the beach!

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!
