Summer is fast approaching and that means it's finally time to purchase resort-wear and bathing suits!!! Whether you are going tanning in Central Park, sailing on yachts, or going to Jamaica for a weekend getaway, there is nothing cuter than linens and bright, breezy tops to look fabulous while lounging under the sun.


The Printed Crinkle Tissue Tunic from J.Crew is perfect for wearing around the pool or to the beach. Love the bright colors and vintage-inspired pattern!!!


And why not get the super cute swimsuit to match!!! Kind of can't get enough of this Stella print.


How cute is this postcard print bottom?? The great thing about these J.Crew suits are that you can mix and match...these could look so cute with a bright green or navy solid-colored top.


What about this gorgeous tribal bling on Trina Turk's Mai Tube. You can shine in this all day and radiate a casual elegance all night in this top.


It's all about the MONOKINIS now-a-days; where more is less. Well, by more, I am referring to the tantilizing string of bling that designers have begun adding to two pieces to link them into a one piece. This one is embellished with mother of pearl and glass beads. The only thing that worries me about monokinis are the totally weird tan lines that you would probably develop. But, hey, when have we not sacrificed for the sake of style.

Still to come on this post as I scope them out: the ombre suit, the iced-out suit, the perfect beach tote, and sandals!!!

Price: J.Crew tunic $60, J.Crew top + bottom $88, J.Crew bottom $42, Trina Turk tube $172, Anika monokini $165.
