Miami Swim Week 2015 Faves

Maybe it's just my affinity for bright neons or just swimwear in general, but I am always more excited for Miami Swim Week than I am to see the upcoming Spring/Summer (close second) or Fall/Winter (last) collections. The savvy (I think) sale shopper in me also likes to see which trends and specific styles are about to get or stay big right as so many of my favorites stores start to mark down their swim styles.

So just for ya'll (Dear, Autocorrect: STOP changing that to "yawl" bc wtf), I've included links to this season's styles that would be worthy investments as far as your swimwear wardrobe.

I mean, get them now to enjoy for the rest of this summer, to have for any winter getaways when you can't seem to find one cute suit, and you can have more money when Spring Break rolls around for the festivities of your choice.

Robb & Lulu:

My Advice?

Wait for one of those handy flash sales I'm always ranting about then snag the classic black version.

Mara Hoffman:

aka My Favorite collection for the second year in a row.

Mara sure knows how to put on a show, but she set the bar even higher by taking over Casa Casuarina to spotlight her collection.

However, her designs were inspired more so by the 1970s style of Yves Saint Laurent than the home's late owner, Mr. Gianni Versace.

I. NEED. THIS.

also does anyone think she looks like an Angie Harmon - Sandra Bullock Hybrid?

#SquadGoals

"To be honest, I think [my own similarity with Versace] is this unapologetic celebration! Like I'm going to do what I fucking do, love me or not. I don;t have to be on trend every season; I'm going to be me and he was him so I think that is the connection."

Wise & true words from someone who genuinely sets the trends.

SO SOME TRENDS I'M NOTICING

1). Pops of Neon (Robb & Lulu)

2). Having Things in Your Nose is Cool. Especially the Septum Area (6 Shore Road)

3). The New Alternative to a Runway Show Involves Having Your Models Dance on Top of Blocks. Props to those who can do it without awkwardness. (Lolli x Amuse Society, Wildfox)

4). Earth Tones for Resort are Way More Groundbreaking Than Florals for Spring
