 I’m a huge fan of Robin Piccone’s swimwear designs, and I’m not alone — it’s also a celebrity favorite. Her pieces are flattering and sexy, and come in D-cup sizes (You cannot believe how hard it is for busty girls to find bathing suits that look good and offer support) Her coverups are also adorable, like this Maui Coverup
pictured.

 This Robin Piccone Belize Halter Bikini
is $78 and has a nautical vibe. I love the rings on the straps.

  

         How hot is this Mandalay One Piece? It’s $134.

Nordstrom carries the line, or go to RobinPiccone.com

Kristin Davis, Cynthia Nixon, Kim Cattrall and Sarah Jessica Parker hit the red carpet at the Sex and the City premiere in London. I think barring SJP’s head piece, the ladies looked awesome. I especially loved Cynthia Nixon’s Calvin Klein gown, and I usually don’t agree with Miranda’s style. Here’s what the rest of the ladies were wearing.

 SJP: pale green dress by Alexander McQueen which I LOVE on her. Her hat is by Philip Treacy and over 90 carats of diamonds by Fred Leighton.

Kristin Davis is wearing a vintage dress while Kim Cattrall wore Vivienne Westwood. Who do you think looked best?

            Style icon Dita Von Teese has been chosen to be the new spokesperson for Cointreau Liquor and I have to say, the ads are hot. Usually liquor ads features scantily clad nobodies, but maybe the style icon will become a new trend? Thoughts?

I came across Mawi Jewelry a while ago and have become absolutely smitten with it. Launched in 2003 by London-based designer Mawi Keivom, the line of jewelry blends classic heirloom aspects with grunge/ rock and roll style. I think it’s perfect for the modern woman who likes to be classic and feminine but have a little edge.

 These skull mirror earings have a gothic feel.

 This rose gold skull charm bracelet is one of my favorite pieces. It mixes a rhinestone broach with modern skulls to make an eclectic piece.

Take a look at the whole line, I think you’ll be impressed.

 The gladiator look is really starting to grow on me. I really love these Jaci Sandals with a beaded t-strap for $49. They come in black, white and brown.

 I also adore these Blowfish La Villa Sandals. How cute would these look with a summery dress or a pair of capris? They come in gold and silver for $42.

What’s your take on the gladiator look? Will you be rocking it?

 So I’m one of those girls that has to wash her hair everday because if I don’t it gets greasy. Well, as you’re well aware, last night was Cinco De Mayo and I just didn’t have time to wash and dry before work this morning. Luckily I decided to try out a new product I just picked up: Lulu Organics hair powder. I cannot stress enough how awesome this stuff worked. I rubbed the powed into my scalp and throughout my hair and it absorbed all of the oil and made my hair look just washed. Also, it smells great and is made of organic materials. Def should be on your to buy list.

 Want to tone your legs for the summer without breaking much of a sweat? Don’t we all. Well, I’m a huge fan of FitFlops. These sandals are contoured a certain way that just by wearing them they work muscles in your legs and butt to tone them. They are also said to improve posture, circulation and burn calories. I have to say, mine are really comfy and they come in all different colors. You can get them for $49.99 here, and they can be a fun Mother’s Day gift!

A lot of you have been writing in asking where you can find hot one piece bathing suits for the summer. Well, I’ve got an answer for you: Trina Turk.

 I love this Trina Turk Deep V One Piece. It accentuates the curves and still shows good cleavage, but covers up some sensitive spots. It’s also only $139. The back is equally hot. It’s open back with strings crisscrossing.

For the less demure, her two piece suits are equally cute.

 This hot pink hipster bathing suit incorporates the brand’s logo and has a flattering cut.

Online lingerie retailer BareNecessities has introduced a line of lingerie in conjunction with Cosabella based on the personalities of each of our favorite SATC characters. Overall the looks are hot. Except…. Charlotte’s line was made for grandmas. I was really expecting something frilly and feminine for her line but it’s basic white tank tops and pants, not so sexy! Here are some of the looks from each line.

Cosabella Carrie Collection, Betty Bustier Bra (also has matching bra and thong)

 Cosabella Samantha Collection, Pearl Underwire Bra(Also available: a really cute thong and matching garter belt)

 Cosabella Miranda Collection, Rosangel Molded Bra (alsomatching hot pants available) I was actually surprised at how cute Miranda’s line is.

Cosabella Charlotte Collection, Bamboo Camisole Loungewear(Also pants and white thong available) Umm how plain is this? They definitely screwed up when it came to Charlotte’s line, but I think the rest is cute.

I’ve been a Brazilian Waxing addict for the last few years and it always surprises me when I run into people who have never gone before. Well as bikini season approaches, there’s no better time to get your first Brazilian, but I have a few pointers for you.

1. When choosing which salon to go to, get a referral from a friend. I can’t stress this enough. Who waxes you makes all the difference so you want to make sure you go to someone who is experienced and that you cant trust. This is one part of your body you don’t want to risk. (I speak from experience) If your friends haven’t gotten Brazilians at least try to find reviews of salons in your area.

2. Grow out your hair so it’s about a quarter of an inch long. You don’t want it to be too short because it will be harder for the wax to adhere.

3. There are some things to look for in your waxer. Make sure she has a clean workspace, she should apply the wax in the direction your hair grows and pull in the opposite direction, also while she pulls the strip she should hold your skin taught.

4. Once it’s over it could be tempting to put lotion on the area but dont. It could cause irritation since your skin is sensitive.

 Happy Waxing!

                      

            I don’t care who you are or how much money you make, you simply just can’t get away with some looks and we’re going to file tie died jeans into that category. Seriously, for once the rest of the outfit is dare I say cute but those jeans are distracting and tacky. Lets hope Fergie’s endorsement of the look doesn’t inspire a comeback. Question of the day: Would you be caught dead wearing these?

So Heidi Montag released the first ad for her debut line Heidiwood and it’s as tacky as she is (surprise, surprise) First of all, how photoshopped could this be? Secondly, the clothes are so BLAH. The line will be available mid-April at Anchor Blue stores if you’re interested, but I’m going to guess and say you’re not.

One of my favorite online shopping destinations, Bluefly is launching b*fly — a new contemporary on-line boutique that links haute couture with casual wear, tomorrow! You can shop by different categories such as trend and mix and match. Exciting! I know my friend Karen (a Bluefly addict) is justifying reasons to order stuff as she reads this.

 So I keep seeing gladiator sandlas popping up in all the stores and I’m completely ambivalent about them. Part of me loves them and then the other part of me can see myself going through old pictures in five years and cringing at myself for wearing them. That being said…. I’ll probably pick up a few pairs. However, this is a definite trend so I wouldn’t go spending too much on them. That’s why these ones pictured are perfect at just $29. These Atia Sandal also come in pewter, which would be my pick.

 I’m living for Fendi’s Project Plexi Logo Cuff. They’re fun and cute for the summer, plus they come in a ton of bright colors. They’re pretty reasonably priced also at $200.  

H&M is having a good few years. Following the success of lines by Stella McCartney, Roberto Cavalli and Karl Lagerfeld, the company has just signed the Swedish fashion house to produce a line for women, men and children this fall. Aside from clothing, they will also create a unisex perfume.

Ready for the summer? For the next few weeks we’ll be bringing you all the products you’ll need to be ready for the warmer months. We start with oversized clutches, especially ones in bright colors.

 This Tory Burch Ribbed Resin Clutch in mint has the goldtone logo in the front and is the perfect shade for summer. $295.

 This kate spade ‘little compton - minu’ wicker clutch is $225.

I really love Ed Hardy’s line of sunglasses and I think they bring something new to the table. Like the rest of their clothing, the line is feminine but has a rock edge. Here are some looks:

 These Ed Hardy ‘Skull & Roses’ Sunglasses have svarovski crystals on them with a skull desing on one temple and roses on the other.

 These Ed Hardy ‘Brad Original & Blood Money’ Sunglasses have a shield frame and also have crystals.

 I love these Ed Hardy ‘Crystal Dragon’ Oversized Sunglasses. All the styles are $225.
