I go to a store called Loco Boutique.

I got this

two weeks ago, but instead of the bottoms I wear the matching hotpants (not pictured). I like the hotpants better while surfing because it doesn't ride up my butt. You don't want wedgies when you're trying to impress hottie surfer boys.

I just ordered these....

I'm in love with SanSali!

Swimsuits are my weakness bigtime. I am what one would call a "swimsuit whore!" :D I think last season I bought 10. I have so many swimsuits, but I practically live in them as soon as the weather turns warm. VS definitely is a fav, I like a few of the Venus swimsuits, but my fav brands are probably Salina and Vix, which I always have the hardest time finding anywhere but the internet. FYI, Newport News actually has some cute and rediculously inexpensive suits--I got a couple from there for playing around. Ahh, I can't wait for warm weather!

I bought two from Victoria's Secret. I ordered the white faux leather in November and the top is still on backorder! :( Hopefully it will arrive before I go to Florida in March. But, just to be on the safe side, I just ordered the Beach Sexy String Bikini with the open heart shape detail (the pink and black one). I love picking out bathing suits....I only wish they looked as good on me as they did on the models. Oh well! :p

Ooooh! Those are super cute!

Are those the G-String ones?

Ugh, James, what is up with you today? :)

String bikins are not G-strings. They are the types that have the triangle shaped tops that are held on a thick piece of fabric (string) that goes across the bottom of the bathing suit. The top is able to move across the string.

I just bought a really cute suit from JCrew....I think it might be the one in the picture earlier, but since J. Crew's website is down I can't show y'all....anyhow it's a black halter top and a black low rise bikini bottom with a little tie at the side. Very cute!!!
But it cost me 70 bucks!!! Oh well, it's a classic suit that I can wear for a long time!!! Now just to work on my abs.....all my friends say I look good in it but I'd like to do a few more crunches!!!

Target, baby, Target. Some of the stuff is U-G-L-Y, but I found two really cute suits there last year - $12.99 a piece. And that's before any sales. My favorite one has held up really well. Now that Target has all those designers selling out for them, they are really getting cuter stuff.

But this isn't really the best swimsuit shopping time - I like to go at the end of the season - then you can go to the department stores (ditto on the vote for Burdines - love their stuff) and pay Target prices. I'm pretty lucky that I've been virtually the same size for the past couple years, so a suit I buy in October will still fit next summer.

Heck, in Florida, I will wear that suit in October - I wore a short sleeved shirt on Christmas day this year. Woo-hoo, Sunshine State! :cool:

Yup, thats my main problem. I admit it. I pay $75 for a Roxy bikini. But they do not ride up while surfing (hey, all their models are professional surfers, and wear them in competetion, and would not stand for wedgies while riding) and fit me nice on top.

Seirously,

can we get some pics of swimsuits on models? Y'all are really disappointing me. :D

halter tops always seem to look the best on me. Tell you what's rough, though, is the type that tie on the back of your neck -- I have long hair and I'm always tying my hair INTO the knot, it's coming undone while I'm in the water, it's digging into my neck..... etc.

tell me this isn't cute. Victoria's Secret has some suits this year with prints on them, too -- like a white one with hearts.

This is the only Calvin Klein suit pictured with a cover up, so I think this is the one that was discussed earlier....
