I always invest on a good bikini every summer, even though we have neither particular good weather nor many nice beaches… but it doesn’t matter! When it is down to seaside or even just in the spa, good swimsuits always make me feel great! I haven’t decided which one to go for, but possibly a retro-chic style! I'm just in love with old Hollywood glamour! Therefore, I'd show some great collections on the market :)- Agent Provocateur - It is one of the best underwear brand and new to swimsuits - it has a truly Hollywood glamour throughout! Well, they do not come cheap, but these "pin-up" bikinis will surely grab the attention! Seriously, just look at Hilary Swank and Rachel Bilson, you will understand what I am talking about.
- Myla - One of my long-time favourites for underwear and swimwear! They have luxurious fabrics and great cut! I like all of them but Mimi swimsuit has really caught my eye - great colour and unusual swimwear! I acutally think it may work well when our tummies fell a bit bloated, don't you think?
- Samantha Sage - they do girly, chic and sexy swimwear, particularly some 20's, 40's and 50's influenced bikinis! In fact, they have been featured from Harper's Bazaar to Tatler Magazines!
Mustique Bikini £69
Charleston Bikini £79
Mustique Swimsuit £69
- Vitamin A Swimwear by Amahlia Stevens - They have been favoured by many celebrities, since they use simple but gorgeous colour and they have slick and sexy cut!
- Kushcush by Kerry Cushman - Their bikinis are sweet, a bit retro and flirty! A big plus is that they are fully lined in UV50+ Lycra!
- Kelly Brook for New Look - Meanwhile, I'm thinking if I just wear them once in a full-of-bleach pool, I need something pretty yet great value in order to not feel so guilty! I think New Look's is a good option!
Both Bikini Tops at £12 each
Both Briefs at £8 each
- If you really want to make a statement and have a bikini bash, here are some great options on Net-A-Porter
From left to right:
Emilio Pucci £230, Missoni £175, JG4B £150
Marc by Marc Jacobs £120, Emilio Pucci £345 and Shay Todd £105

how is the pretty times of glory doing today? :)
ps: I too adore old Hollywood glamour!
I love those vintage looking bikinis, just about the cutest thing!
thanks for your sweet comments, doll :) I tried, I usually dress like this with my husband when we go out since he doesn't really "get" my more fashion y looks, I save those for myself with my friends or just running errands. But from time to time I do try them out with him ;)
I love vintage inspired swimwear too! Have you encountered the French brand Princesse Tam Tam before? They make gorgeous swimwear and nice lingere too.

Oooh, I love the Myla suits. So cute. I have an AP one piece. I love it.
I love the Agent Provocateur collection! I wish I had enough money to buy their stuff!
I love the Myla too, especially the one-piece, a timeless backup for those days we feel not so sexy! And you should definitely go retro this summer.
Amazing bikines!

The Agent Provocateur bikinis and Mustique maillot have my vote. Even though it is winter here now, I am always on the look out for something fabulous. I think I'll have to visit their online stores as their is nothing in the shops here now.
Thank you for your lovely comments on my last post. I really value your input as such a stylish lady yourself.
The green bandeau swimsuit, with the baggy under the bust part is absolutely stunning. I would wear it with tights and big big shoes as an outfit if i had the body!
Thank you so much for your lovely comments, I love to hear from you xx
So hott! Too bad I never swim, and would never be caught dead in a bathing suit!
Your comment was so sweet, it really made me smile. :)
The Agent Provocateur line is GORGEOUS! You want to know something truly sad? I bought a new (if simple) bikini last year and I never wore it!
I must say I love those vintage inspired bikinis.
I'm very demanding with a bikini or a swimsuit, because I don't like to have sun marks that can be seen with tops, so I always want a strapless top.
Thank you for sharing all those with us,
xoxo
Oh gosh I love it all, especially on hilary and keira! This is a fantastic post, I'm so inspired for the beach now!

Ooh great post. I love the vintage looking ones.

Lovely swimsuits. I'm partial to the Pucci suits, as those colors always look so lovely next to the ocean. I'm enjoying your lovely blog and plan to add it to my list.
i am in love with retro feminine bathing suits!
I love your selections. I always buy a two piece, but this year I think I am leaning towards those retro one piece suits-very chic.

I HAV ADDED YOUR BLOG DEAR IN MY BLOG ROLL.
BYE
TAKE CARE
GOOD DAY
GOD BLESS YOU
I love the vintage styled options that have become very popular of late. I really would like to try some for myself.
Such pretty pictures! Hope you are having a great weekend dear!
Love

I've always lusted after a Missoni bikini but the weathers not good enough to justify it where I am! That Myla swimsuit is gorgeous, it's very unusual!
I've been enjoying reading through your past posts, your style is amazing I adore your blog!
Gosh, I love the one worn by Rachel Bilson, it's so cute! The pink pucci bikini is lovely!
I really like the AP looks!
my eye is fixed on the mimi by myla one. It's so gorgeous.
To Rose: Dear, your sweet words have made my day!
lol i'll say it a hundred or a thousand times then whenever for your outfit post, to make it a few years or so. haha
Love the retro look. All these are amazing! Loving the AP although I think its more likely that I will spend less on such a garment. I think Kelly Brook for new Look is great, cheaper and still the right style.
ps: Mmmh Mmmh, You know Dear, I'm not a "medium" BUT a great specialist in forecasts (YES, YES, YES, YES, especially in Football but not Only !!! )
So, have you choose (bracket indiscretion . . . )?
A Bientôt, Antoine
