Prepping for the great weather that is sure to find us shortly?  Well, let us help you plan all your Beach and Poolside visits with swimwear from Shoshanna. 

U Bandeau & Brief Bikini

Suns Worshipping

Start the season off right with a little sun bathing this season.  Getting a little golden glow will make all the difference.  Check out the newest bikini style from Shoshanna: the U-Bandeau and U-Brief in a gorgeous Steel Grey. Both the style details and color are unexpected for S/S 2011.

What we love about the steel grey is the option of pairing this suit with floral printed shorts and a bright head scarf.  Grey is the new Black when you want to pair prints and brights on the beach this season.

NEW! Purple Ruched Bikini

From Beach to Street

The newest style from Shoshanna is a favorite already. The convertible bra halter and ruched brief are a classic and so easy to wear. The halter gives great support and can be converted to a strapless top so you won’t have tan lines. The ruched bottom has a bit more coverage; making it super comfortable. We love the bright pop of the purple halter layered under an open linen shirt with some denim cut offs and floppy straw hat. Go from Beach to Street in a flash.

Ikat Print Ring Bikini

Stand Up Paddleboarding

Always a number one style, the Shoshanna ring halter and ring brief are a must have in every swimwear closet. Not only does this suit give you full coverage on the top and bottom, but it stays in place too; making it perfect for a day out on your Stand Up Paddleboard or even surfing.  The beautiful Balinese Ikat print of this suit is also great for mixing and matching with the U-Bikini in steel grey and the Ruched Bikini in the bright violet. Buy 2 suits and you can make 4 different styles to last you all summer long.

Poolside Party

High Tide Print Bikini

Looking to show some skin this year? Why not, you’ve earned it and summer is the time to let your hard work show. The tie-string triangles and string bottoms are coveted Shoshanna styles.  The prints are always right on trend too. This season we have three very different choices for you to try: the blue, turquoise and black python print , the Ruffle Trim in a purple watercolor print and the color blocks of the High Tide print. Both are bold and fun and easy to pair with coordinating solid bottoms for a fresh, mix and match too. We love the thought of a high slit skirt paired with a triangle top and some amazing sunnies and a fedora for a poolside party look that is sure to turn heads.

You can also check out all our Shoshanna swim styles including the amazing ruched one-piece in bright navy and the beaded tie neck in black.  Both are great for a day on the boat or a picnic at the beach.

Happy summer swimwear shopping!

We know the weather is a bit blustery, but as all good fashion lovers know, the weather should never be an indication for buying purchases. It’s smart to think about the next season regardless of what the thermostat reads.

Of course, we also know it’s a great opportunity to get in-season merchandise on sale and never miss a great sale. Our seasonal sale includes 30% -70% off your favorite contemporary collections as well as jewelry, handbags and shoes.

It pays to be fashion-forward in so many ways; being a trendsetter is obviously what buying swimwear in February is all about.

Our newest collection for swimwear this year is from Shoshanna. Oh, we’ve been carrying the line for several years now, but this is a new, fresh look for the line. And we think it is not only fashionable in regards to prints – from ikat to python — but also in the special details – from metal U-rings to beads. This season also has mass appeal with the new bottom cuts and one-piece options. Being able to buy separate tops and bottoms has always been a priority for Shoshanna, but this season she also created styles that you can mix and match to give you multiple options.

Let us also be the first to share that you don’t have to stick with black this year as your basic. For Spring/Summer 2011 (S/S 11), Steel grey is the new basic as well as bright prints on a black background.

New fuller bottom cuts and the larger selection of one-piece suits, in solids and prints, will sure to be the top purchases for the season.

See our current selection of Shoshanna swim and check back often as the choices for new pieces and the option of mixing and matching the pieces expands with each new suit style.

Commonly referrd to as “traffic cone orange”, or as we on the East Coast like to call it “buoy orange”, this color has collided with the Spring and Summer nudes, tonals and military shades to create a strong and fresh color approach.

Nanette Lepore is no stranger to color and prints.  Her new line “Oonagh” embraces the color orange this season and in the perfect soft shade, the Bryan dress   (shown above) has the perfect amount of Nanette details in the fringe and ruffled neckline.  Great back to the neutral shades and a little denim jacket, you will take this dress to every summer event weekend.

And, We love it paired with Joie’s updated Spring Bootie – The Elvis. A great rough- suede short boot in a beautiful shade of Elephant – soft grey/brown, this bootie will work with all the hot colors of the season.

Kain always gives us a pop of color and we fall for it everytime.  Their Spicey Orange V-neck Tee is the perfect complement to denim. Throw on a fun scarf  (which by the way is another perfect way to incorporate Orange) and some white skinnies from [Blank] denim and the summer is yours for the taking.

Shoshanna dresses always have a great fit, wonderful use of fabric and the color combinations are true to what wearing a girly girl dress is about.  The Tie Dye Chiffon dress  is wonderful in this strapless version. With a mix of other brights, you can wear the orange trend all summer long. 

And don’t miss out on the Shoshanna Swimwear collection with an abundant of Orange and other great colors.

More orange is sure to come and we promise, but summer’s end, you will want and need this refreshing pop of color in your closet.
