Fashionistas heads up! At The Orchid Boutique, our definition of “giveaway” comes with no caveats.
We literally mean we will “give away” any 2010 designer swimsuit you choose if you are the top commenter on our blog. It’s that simple. We write (we’re being modest now) interesting and sometimes funny posts about fashion, trends, celebrities, and swimwear. We love to hear back from our readers, see below to win!
The Prize: You’ll get to pick any swimsuit or coverup from our 2010 collections, any designer, any style, ANY PRICE. Choose from a wide array of swimwear brands such as Badgley Mischka, True Religion, Betsey Johnson, OndadeMar, the coveted Agua Bendita Swimwear, Maaji, Despi, and more. Yep, including the ones we haven’t announced yet – you can wait a bit and pick the newest of the new, if you win!
How to Win: Just leave the most comments on our blog (any post, old or new) between now and 11:59pm ET November 16th, 2009. There’s even a helpful little tracker in the sidebar of the blog that will tell you who the current leader is!
Rules: Just a few things to keep the contest and the blog from turning into the Wild West!
- The contest is open to anyone in any country that The Orchid Boutique ships to, but if the winner is located outside of the United States, shipping charges of your choice will apply. If the winner is located within the U.S., we will ship your free item via USPS Priority at no charge.
- You may not reply to yourself in the comments on any individual post. If you were the last person to comment, you have to wait until someone else leaves a comment. And don’t try commenting under two names just to reply to yourself – our super-smart blog robot will know!
- Comments must be relevant to the post and must have some meat to them! Don’t just write “Great post!” Add to the conversation, or we may delete the comment and it will not count.
- All comments left on any post on Swim Couture (old or new) count for this contest. So go ahead: dig through our archives and comment away!
- The owners and bloggers of The Orchid Boutique and Swim Couture are the sole deciders of what constitutes a legitimate comment for the purposes of this contest. Spam, hate speech, and duplicate comments will not be approved for posting on the site and will not count for the contest.
- The winner will receive one free swimsuit or coverup of their choice from any 2010 collection, as soon as the item debuts in our store. No exchanges granted.
This post is also open for comments, so feel free to start here! To get the conversation rolling, why don’t you check out the 2010 collections at The Orchid Boutique and let us know which suit you have your eye on for the contest?

Really trying out this site, looking through everything, comment thought, the blog part of things is really slowing down, taking along time to get comments to be posted so that I can move on and talk to people and make comments, is it my computer or is the blog line just that full?????
Definitely a good chose!! But then again you can find any bathing suit on this site that would flatter you!!!
Its hard to fit my body, large breast small but and no curves inbetween
yeah i’m the same way… thank god for different sizes on tops and bottoms
not built equal
at all!! big boobs and no butt…
Black Serpentine is the piece I am going to buy if I win!!!. I love the way it pick up your curves and assentuates your waist….making your shoulders look broad, and sleek neck line
I too have seen a few I would love and it will be hard to narrow it down to one free suit I may have to splurge and buy one as well, we’ll see.
I know!!! When I went buy a suit before, I went to my shopping cart and had like 10 more than I remember adding hehe
Stock up girl!
haha nothing wrong with that!
I have a quick question, how does Kris have 78 and is in first place I don’t even see her in here talking very much??? I’m not sure how she / he is doing it????

Everyone seems to be stuck on the maaji suits
yeah cause they are great quality suits, not to mention gorgeous

Another Maaji please!
why do you love the maaji so much
their fabrics are great, not only the colors but they are sooo soft… and also, they are reversible1
their fabris or prints look amazing
and they way they combine them is great
I love anything that can make me look and feel sexy and thats what this swimwear does. It makes me feel sexy and as beautiful as a model i would actually love to model for this swimwear company cause each suit is absolutely gorgoeus each in a different way. I love it.
That is how they should make you feel, hopefull with a bod to back it up
well you probably look like a model! lucky you! work the bikinis girl

Dang, I need to catch up!
Your telling me, off to the races
Does it matter how many comments you leave? Is this competition about the person who posts the most or do all comments have the same chance of winning? Or is it more about the content of what you post, rather than just simply having posted? Sorry to have loads of questions only I am a bit of a swimsuit obsessive and I am completely in love with this site! Thanks xx
Hi Ninja! We understand swimsuit obsessed, so don’t worry!
If you check out the rules above, you will see that the contest is for the most comments. But content matters as well – we are monitoring the comments and making sure they’re all on topic and that people don’t just reply to themselves. So jump in! There’s lots of great conversations happening all over the site because of this contest!
we are trying to keep it on line but it does stray off topic sometime lol
haha yeah but it still makes for great conversation
its very resourcefull
Leave as many as you wish, they are tracking them
I would go for lady lx range.
with my boobs so would I but then the butts to small
here you can choose different sizes for top and bottom
love that you can do that
Wow you step out for awhile and they totally take over, everyone has commented so much its going to be hard to keep up, especially for more than a week!!!
Good morning and welcome back, Kennedy! Yeah, the competition is fierce! (I guess that’s what we get for giving away such a great prize!) But I hope you’ll stick around and try anyway – we love the conversations that are going on, and you’re a part of that!
Yah, but its hard to keep up and is starting to affect my work (yikes)
of every swimsuit..
if I could afford it…
splurge, buy yourself and early christmas present
or get someone to buy you a present! haha
Ladies….buy two of each! I did!!!
Real nice I wish I could afford such a purchase
yeah me too! that’d be great
i am to the point that i may just do that who cares
Let me clarify that…I could not afford two of every suit either! But when you have a favorite that fits and your guy loves it..get a second as a stash!! Have you ever had a really great pair of shoes and wish they would not have worn out or got scuffed heel?
I got ya, i feel that way about jeans too, just right
yeah, its always hard to find the right fit on any
really hard online
i’ve never bought a jean online though, a swimsuit yeah
This is my first time blogging and its fun to do it about something we all love ..thanks for making it fun girls
you’re right! i’ve never blogged before and didn’t think id like it, but the topics are great and you ladies make great conversation!
We can really relate to alot of these subjects
yeah and theres great advise here too
lots that they are sharing
I am also a first timer what a way to start
blog away its like speed blogging lol
yeah! it sometimes tells me i’m commenting too fast to slow down… haha!
it does that to me all the time it is annoying how can u get ahead then
wow I’m also new at this.. but it’s a long way to go.. before I can win a swimsuit..
It is very hard work to keep this up
lady’s I just wanna ask sopmething.. hope you don’t mind if I help you outoff your confersation…
o don’t watch my englisch because I’m Dutch…
Sorry..
but how often do you guys buy a swimsuit from this site…
I bought one once but I think it’s pretty expensive …
what is your thought about the prices and stuf maybe I’m wrong maybe the prices are low in your eyes and I could buy more …
so please tell me what you’ll think about the money and prices..
I am with you on that subject, I don’t usually buy such expensive garmets but I have splurged on this site once and may again if all goes well with the first suit, it depends
i think these swimsuits are expensive, but i’d rather buy one of these that will last me a long time, than a cheaper one that will last me a week…
Yes I have found that out, the cheaper brands do not last
they wear out easily and loose their color and elasticity
Swimsuits are a bit of a quandry for me–they are fairly pricey considering how little we use them and how little they are. Nonetheless, investing in two or three quality swimsuits lengthens their life and means that your cost per wear goes down every year…..Now you just need to stay the same size!
There is not alot of material to justify the price but if its good than sometimes you got to do it
i think just because of the lasting factor i like to splurge on good swimsuits, otherwise the fabrics aren’t that good and they get ugly in no time
thats what i am doing this year splurging on a good one
it’s a great plan, and they’ll probably last forever as long as i don’t gain any weight haha!
Great comments, everyone! Don’t forget to check out some of our newest posts and leave comments on those, as well – visit the Swim Couture homepage for the latest scoop, or click “Recent Articles” in the right sidebar of any page on the blog!
I will check these out, I am trying my best to keep up, it has been fun
it really is fun!! great topics here!
Some of the girls really get going on a subject, don’t they lol
i think i’m one of those haha!
Yes is important to be very carfull at the time we pick which Swinsuit to buy because sometimes people buy only looking at how the model looks and we need to understand that we all have different bodies and if like me any of you live in a hot summer city like miami you must know that having a great suit is a most and you will have to be getting different ones from time to time but that does not mean buying cheap to have a lot a prefer to buy good quality and special ones than just a lot of swimsuits that look more like a copy of everybodies
i have alot of swim suit but they are lacking quality, this time I am going for quality I have one on its way
quality over quantity!
It seems to work in all other areas swim are no exception
i agree, it’s always good to buy something that you know will last
Those swimsuits are hot!The designs are great.
they sure are wonder what it would be like if normal sized women were modelling them
they probably wouldn’t look as good, but it would make them easier to buy
it shows that it might just work on my body
even if they are more expensive, they last that much longer!
and thats a good thing, but not for orchid boutique
haha yeah cause then you stick up on these, even if you don’t buy in a while, there’ll always be someone new who discovers it
maybe they aren’t selling as much as usual
the material is a much better quality and so it holds up to the elements
yeah and to extreme use! haha
and i do put it throught the elements i am not very gental with my suits
yeah me neither, just the few which i think could really be ruined…
thats why i have alot of cheap ones
i don’t agree with this… cheap suits are a waste of money in my opinion… they last two days
bandito is such a cool looking suit i just really took notice too it
I even like the fuscia one piece, its nice. it would leave an odd tan make with those wide straps though
this comment thing is taking alot of time and reading, i have gained in my typein g skills for sure
love theconcept love the idea, but it is hard to preform any work while doing this
i think you need to find away to speed the posts up, mine take awhile and i have to ait for them to post???
you need to have amazing typing skills to keep getting your comments out there
i agree, bendito is a great suit! i love the colors
love it totallly, but my spelling skills are lacking and my fingers seem to hit more keys than i want the too lol
I thought that if you posted one comment after another they wouldn’t count…that you had to wait for someone else to comment before re-commenting? If thats the case, whats the actual posting count?? Hmmm…..
Ashleigh, we’re working on it. There’s no way to see if a comment is posted right after another by the same user until we approve it, so some comments that are invalid sneak through. But it will all be sorted out before the winner is declared!
yeah i thought so too… a little concerned…
you could have mentioned it i missunderstood
they said it on the rules on top, it’s pretty clear
ya thanks for bring that to my attention it really helped out alot
i have a huge problem with the counter it just lost me approx 200 points maybe more… what the h— is going on i didn’t do all this work for these kinds of problems, what is going on……..
Kennedy, if your count dropped it is because some of your comments were invalid (posting again after no one else had left a comment, usually) and they had to be deleted or combined. Please re-read the rules to make sure that all of your comments are counted.
got it thanks
stephanie, if that was the problem then thats fine i understand, but there is no way i had two to three hundred posted before anothers comment???? also how is it that mine is the only one that has gone down in points and no one else has??? i have a hard time with the slowness as it keeps booting me out telling to slow down and then i have to write the whole comment over again, that is not right, i have had to write double time just because of rewritting the comments, something does not jive here!!!!!!! an others can put on 600 posts in about 2 horus wher it took me a whole day???
The “slow down” message is universal for all commenters – if you post too often, you will get this message. The count is an automatic count based on the number of valid comments you have posted since the beginning of the giveaway. I assure you that great pains are being taken to guarantee the legitimacy of this contest.
ok i will see how it goes from here, thanks
sorry about those the computer kept throwing me out agian so i re wrote them than i couldn’t find where i wrote it so i worte it again and it ended up bieng her each time i think i need a break
They are perfect for any vacation..but yes a cruise vaca and THE ORCHID BOUTIQUE inpired designs make a great complimentation….have fun.
i can’t seem to get any comments to stick to that blog?? i have made comments but they don’t show with the others, i don’t know whats going wrong
very interesting ,,, and there are no in between lines to read. I will tell my company to do the same for other purposes. Since I am in the retail industry this is a good idea…
don’t get to carried away about that
THE ORCHID BOUTIQUE, Can’t wait to order a new one.
Its being advertised every where
do the bolgs on this site count as well for this conest, I did leave a blog there
yeah it’s a great way to get people to know your products and for you to read what they have to say about them
a cruise sounds real nice right about now
