Hot? I got you covered...

A couple of days ago, I did a post on what message the hottest coats of the season may be sending out to the public. This week, I've got those north of the equator in mind.
Just to satisfy any curiosity out there, I did in fact find my perfect coat. I was half-heartedly perusing through the racks of a particular department-type store (before going to what would turn out to be the craziest party I've ever attended), and saw this one creme coloured coat. It was perfect. Soft, flattering, beautiful. But I won't let it slip where it's from, because I'm feeling very label-ist about the situation. Lol.
Anyway, just for a bit more fun here's a selection of this seasons hottest swimsuits (and some accompanying cute white cardigans, a staple for any summer outfit), and what message they may be sending out to the public.
(item details 1 and 2)

My favourite? The red Heart Cinched Bandeau (although, I'm not exactly a big-bust-bikini expert yet), because having a big bust means this is the only one I would even fit into. Lol. In a dream world, I would be able to fit into the SPLIT Gidget Bandeau (The French are darn stylish, after all) as well...
Hopefully, combined with the coats, there's a style here for everyone. Happy shopping!

so bizarre that it's winter where you are!
though actually, it's kind of winter here in england too.
can you imagine my disappointment when I came out of the plane in a little minidress from sweltering NYC and was greeting with biting winds and drizzle. ha.

btw you asked me a while back if I was planning on visiting any publications, I didn't. is that something you can actually do?
though I did have a sneaky peek through the telescope on top of the rockefeller into 4 times sq. no sign of wintour!

I like the second bikini the most. I would by it straight away!

Elizabeth said...

I love all these. My favorite—so unlike me—is the silver bikini. The combination of all the cossies with cardis is a cool one. I'd have thrown an old, huge t-shirt over me and been done with it.

Molly :] said...

Ah, how i long for summer... its HORRIBLE here in england. The first bikini is the best, :) xx

Wendy said...

I'm in love with the first and second sets!

Style On Track said...

Oh my gosh, seeing these swimming suits on a cold day like today makes me wish it was hot again. I love you selection, I think my favourite are the first grey pair, they are great.

For big busts I would say that the red and white swimsuit was the best style, I don't think girls with small boobs like me can really get away with that style ;) darnit

All good choices, the black one piece is stunning...I won't be needing one for a while, it's starting to get colder andd colder here in Joburg.

SKYLA said...

Fashionista said...

Its so true about your swimwear and the message that it conveys

Great blog

geri hirsch said...

K said...

this is a great post! i like the french bikini best, but the cardigan from the 'i have never been ashamed of my body'.

hannah said...

im loving the first two. so chic and cute.

Romany said...

imelda - mariah carey? So true! I had Paris Hilton in mind, when I chose that one, but Mariah Carey is better in hindsight. Lol.

coco: hey yeah, I'm getting a Kiki D vibe from the second one too...Even though we rarely see beach pictures of her anymore...

charlotte: thank you! :) oh yes, I love the vintage swimsuits too. I believe they'd suit my figure more, to be honest. Perhaps sometime in the near future, a post devoted only to vintage swimsuits will pop up? :)

Thank you everyone for your comments! You really are too sweet.. :)
