Mikoh Swimwear 2011 - Clean Lines, Inspiring Design Define the Mikoh Look

There's been a lot of buzz about Mikoh Swimwear, a new swimsuit line from California that debuted last year.  I previewed it in 2010 and loved it, but because it was near the end of the season, I held off carrying it until the 2011 line was ready.  And now it is. Oh happy day!

Personally, I think that the new 2011 Mikoh swimsuits are even better than the 2010. They have included some prints this year and kept some of their most popular style details from last season, including their long, swingy strings and simple pull-on, (as in sans clasp,) tops.

They've also added some very cute and breezy beach cover-ups to their reportoire.  Their styling is definitely for the smaller figure, but that being said, Mikoh Swimwear certainly makes the most of a tiny package.

Kain Label... Making Fashion Look So Easy

"Resortwear," "Beach Fashion," "City Couture"...Whatever category you want to put Kain Label into, it's all OK. Kain Label fits into all of the above. The beauty of this LA fashion architect is that they have the distinct ability to take the mundane to insane, from bleak to chic, ordinary to extraordinary. Need I go on?  For example, they have learned to tweak out the most humble of dresser drawer items, the Classic Pocket Tee, and take it to a completely new level by using 21st century fabrics and sexy, modern styling.

And yes, their sweaters are slouchy, but still gorgeous, their dresses simple, but nothing less than fabulous.

Kain Label is new for Tropi-Ties and we’re so happy that we’ve found each other. A perfect fit, if I must say so myself. It travels well, looks stylish in any situation and has utter sex appeal. We hope that you stop by and give us your opinion on this new resortwear line. We love it and we hope that you do too.

Salinas Swimwear 2011 - What's In Store For This Iconic Swimwear Brand?

Ya just gotta love Salinas Swimwear...they've kept it all together during these turbulent times and still managed to come up with some cute, new, cleverly styled bikinis.  The 2011 Salinas Swimwear Collection is now being unveiled at Tropi-Ties and it's to die for.  They've gone sweet on us this year and put up some sexy, little, ruffled numbers, done in feminine florals. 

They've also gone bright and  bold in 2011 with a rainbow plaid bikini.

Bikinis and prints aren't the only thing that Salinas Swimwear did well this season.  They have a couple of eye catching one piece swimsuits, as well as a sexy, black, tasseled bikini that personally, I just love. 

Salinas Swimwear is a master at blurring the line between a young, junior/teen look and a grown up girl style.  I think that's why everyone loves them so much.  That, and that true sense of fun that is inherent in each and every Salinas swimsuit.  They've managed to keep their prices reasonable too.  (Although, I have to say that the most expensive ones tend to be my favorites...such is life.)

The 2011 Salinas Swimwear is arriving this fall.  Stop by and preview the new Salinas Swimwear Collection before it hits the shelves at Tropi-Ties Swimwear

Karla Colletto Swimwear 2011 - Looking Forward To Fall

Karla Colletto keeps coming up with more and more classic, one piece swimsuits.  I love my Karla swimsuits...and I've seen a LOT of swimsuits in my career.  Granted, there was a day when I wore nothing but the tiniest string bikinis, but now that I'm, "more mature," (IE; not 20 years old and hanging a kid on each arm,) I'm so glad that Karla is around.  I always feel sexy and beautiful in my KC swimsuits.  The fit is impeccable, the styling is classic, the the quality and workmanship is beyond compare.  Plus, the support is where I need it, with Karla's hidden, floating under wire bodice.  I will never settle for a cheaply made swimsuit from the discount chain store or catalog again. EVER!!!  I slip my KC swimsuit on and head for the pool knowing that I look beautiful and that the swimsuit won't come apart while doing my laps and lazing through the afternoon.  After all...enjoying the beach and pool isn't a matter of demographics.  We should all enjoy our day in the sun.

The new Karla Colletto Swimwear 2011 Collection is full of fanciful bathing suits.  I absolutely love the Black Piping One Piece Swimsuit and have ordered an extra one just for "Moi."  The color is fabulous, the styling superb and the fit...oh, the fit....is like nothing else. I feel at least 20 pounds thinner!  Whether, your 25, or 55, this swimsuit will look divine on everyone.   This is a bathing suit that I can actually wear in front of friends and family and know that I look, "killer," in it!  There are no regrets.   So, it's on to fall...on to romantic escapes...tropical beaches, sweet days lazing by the pool with my, "Honey," and time for a new Karla Colletto Swimsuit!

Aspiring Models Strut Their Stuff

The grand finale of the Wiltshire Times & Chippenham News top model Competition has recently taken place at Club Ice in Westbury. The group of 20 finalists were all that was left from 45 initial competition entrants, with the judges choosing eight top aspiring models from the finalists who were driven away in the lap of luxury via limousine while the audience submitted their choice of winner.

The first prize of the competition was awarded to Naomi Muir, making it a double celebration as it was her 15th birthday on the same day. Second price was taken by Rachel Davis whilst third place went to Robbie Skinner. The panel of judges was comprised of Emily Free, the winner from last years competition, make up artists Sarah Brock, photographer Kevin Hall, Wiltshire Times & Chippenham News executive Denise Wood and Barry White from Club Ice. The event was choreographed by Wayne Palmer of Wayne's World of Fashion, with each finalist performing a routine during their catwalk runs.

Naomi Muir took the top prize, a complete makeover from Mane Event in Trowbridge, a full make-up session with Sarah Brock and a photo-shoot with Kevin Hall. The Ginger Snap modeling agency in Bristol were also introduced to Naomi. She said that "it was amazing but really nerve wracking. It was the best birthday present ever. My friends and family are all really hoarse from cheering me on. My parents have kept telling me how proud they are of me. I've wanted to be a model for ages."

Emily Free, winner of the 2007 competition has since been signed by five different modelling agencies and has had paid work and castings and is enjoying her career as an up and coming model.
