From the Golden sun in Mexico, to the hot beaches of Miami, celebrities are flocking to their getaway destination. Recently spotted is pregnant Kourtney Kardashian in Mexico and VS supermodel Doutzen Kroes in Miami Beach, FL. Not only do they share the similarity of being moms, but they are both rockin a two-piece solid color bikini! After this neon crazed Spring Break, is this the new trend for the summer of 2012!?
Solid swimsuits are the most traditional swimsuit style out there, but you can definitely mix and match separates to make it uniquely your own. The black and white swimsuit trend is just like the LBD; it will never go out of style and works for every type of occasion. Exclusively at The Orchid Boutique, you can find an amazing selection of solid swimwear choices from brands such as Beach Bunny, L*Space, Seafolly, and to our very own line The Orchid Label!
Not only is the solid swimsuit a great trend this summer, but also the retro look. From a pin up style top to the high wasted bottom, any woman would look fabulous! There is one in particular that I absolutely love and that is our exclusive Seafolly Sorrento one piece!
It has everything a woman would want! Not only is it both black and white, but it has a bandeau style top that ties at the neck and a retro style bottom that provides full coverage. You can complete this look with any pop of color. Whether its a fuchsia bracelet like Doutzen Kroes is seen wearing or nice color of lips. Regardless, with this look, you will definitely stand out and turning heads at the beach!

The recent royal wedding of Kate Middleton and Prince William was a huge affair filled with press from every end of the world, friends of the royal family, and…fabulous hats. Yep, I said it. While Kate Middleton’s stunning Alexander McQueen custom wedding dress intricately designed by Sarah Burton was a show-stopper, the hats at the royal affair definitely made a huge statement. However, there was one particular hat that stood out from the crowd.
Enter Princess Beatrice of York, the younger cousin of Prince William and one of the most talked about guests at the royal wedding. Her unique hat made headlines all across the globe (and was recently auctioned off for $131,341.47 to help benefit UNICEF and Children In Crisis). But this time around she’s not making press for her choice of headgear, but instead for her hot bikini bod! She received a lot of criticism back in 2008 for ...

Lately, celebrities have shown an impressive obsession with one-piece swimsuit ensembles, we think inspired by the Lady Gaga trend and her bathing suit inspired outfits. From Katy Perry to Reese Witherspoon, seems like Hollywood has become enamored with the pinup swimsuit vintage look. That’s why we’re happy to hear our own swim brands have taken notice.
Badgley Mischka announced earlier this Spring that Rumer Willis was selected as the face of the line, which includes the water-ready garments line we happen to carry. She too joins the laundry list of celebrity gals flaunting their black swimsuits in sexy photoshoots… and can we say gorge? The Draped Black One Piece looks stunning on the eldest sister in the Moore-Willis clan, who flaunts her amazing genes and sophisticated look in the spread.
What we love about this Badgley Mischka style is that the draping design at the ...

Out in our backyard of South Beach, Miami, Chloe Sevigny lounged by the ocean with some friends during New Year’s. Apparently ignorant of her mishap, she turned around and showed the hidden paps the wedgie that formed on her two-piece swimsuit. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Maybe Chloe didn’t think to pull out the trimming of her hipster bikini bottom because of how much fun in the sun is to be had at the beaches of MIA.
Inevitably, we (and by “we” we mean the entire world) were witness to a designer bathing suit no-no. We’re not against her choice of bathing suit, because as a matter of fact, we love black swimsuits with flowers, but something a bit more whimsical could have done her good.
A great option to re-style her look is the Swan Lake Bikini by Betsey Johnson Swimwear. The swan black and white print ...

How many little black dresses do you own? If I had to go through my closet, it would take me a little too much time to count. My point- you can never have too many! We're loving Sienna Miller's take on the LBD with her below-the-knee, gathered chiffon peplum option at the Esquire House LA's opening night.
While we can never have too many LBD's, the same applies in the designer swimwear world. Take the Truth or Dare One Piece by Betsey Johnson Swimwear. With its flattering silhouette and skirted bottom, this suit features a winning style for any beach or pool party event. The black bow adds a touch of femininity, while the back features a daring criss cross strap that reveals a little skin. It doesn't reveal too much though, the bottom provides full coverage at the rear.
Would you incorporate the little black ...

Penelope Cruz was seen in the beaches of Brazil days before jetting off to Rome to the premiere of her new movie Nine. She was frolicking beach side in a black swimsuit with her super hot boyfriend, Javier Bardem. Oh the life of celebrities.
What we love about her black swimsuit is how comfortable and sexy she seems to be in it. A black swimsuit often has the same effect as a black dress… everyone needs a little one in their closet. If you are in search of a cute black swimsuit we recommend the Tuxedo Top and String Bottom by Betsey Johnson Swimwear. It’s black, elegant, and has soft velour textures over its solid print.
Betsey Johnson swimsuits are rarely plain solids and this black swimsuit is no exception. Adorned with a flower accessory at the side, the tuxedo top brings a little bit of extra femininity to the outfit. ...
