			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Screen-shot-2011-07-15-at-9.54.31-AM.png" rel="lightbox[6696]"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-6765" src="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Screen-shot-2011-07-15-at-9.54.31-AM.png" alt="" width="198" height="248" /></a>With it being bikini season and all, sometimes heading to the beach can get a bit depressing. Maybe this winter you decided to do curl-ups with a burrito instead of curl-ups at the gym; or this spring you opted out of a weekend jog with a friend to catch up on all your DVR’d shows. Who knows, we all have our own personal reasons (*ahem* excuses). And I’m not a doctor so I don’t know what’s healthiest for you. But there are parts of our body that I am sure we all love. There’s that one ligament or section on us that we absolutely feel the need to flaunt. And we love seeing happy, confident women wearing their swimsuits proudly.</p>
<p>Every swimsuit is unique in how it showcases specific parts of your body. Some accentuate your breasts, while others help lift your bum. Well, we’ve gathered a list of a few styles that may help to highlight your favorite part of you.</p>
<p><strong>If you love your rear:</strong></p>
<p>Opt for something with cinching in the back and has the “flutter” affect along the edges. These swimsuits are super flattering and will definitely make the fellas do a double take (watch out Kim Kardashian!).</p>

<p><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Jordin-Sparks-Bikini-People-Magazine1-copy.jpg" rel="lightbox[6621]"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-6622" src="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Jordin-Sparks-Bikini-People-Magazine1-copy-220x300.jpg" alt="" width="220" height="300" /></a>Four years ago, 17 year old<strong> Jordin Sparks</strong> won the title of American Idol when Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul were still judges. When she won the award of being America’s favorite, the teen was a size 14. Fast forward to today and the teenager who won the crown American Idol is now a young woman fast tracking her career. And on top of all that, the singer has gone from a size 14 to a size 8.</p>
<p>Sparks lost 30 pounds after battling pneumonia last year, as well as participating in long hikes, Zumba classes, and changing up her diet. She was recently featured in <em>People</em> Magazine as having ‘One of the Most Amazing Bodies’ and we definitely agree! The singer wears a bright yellow, <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/halter-swimsuits.html">halter swimsuit top</a> with a cute bottom with cut-outs on the sides. Sparks looks absolutely phenomenal – appearing healthy, toned, but maintaining her stunning curves.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/pearl-cutie-string-bikini.html"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-6623" src="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/pearlcutie.jpg" alt="" width="167" height="250" /></a>If you are going for a swimsuit similar to Jordin’s choice in <em>People</em> Magazine, we suggest the <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/pearl-cutie-string-bikini.html">Pearl Cutie</a> by <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/despi-swimwear.html">Despi Swimwear</a>. The <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/halter-swimsuits.html">halter top</a> style bikini ties at the neck and back. The <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/string-bikini-bottoms.html">string bikini bottom</a> comes with similar cut-out’s to Jordin’s bikini, and also features emerald embellishment on the strings. The bikini adds something special with <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/ruffle-swimsuit.html">ruffle</a> detailing on both the top and bottom.</p>
<p>Head over to our &#8216;<a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/shop-swimwear-by-top-style.html">Shop by Top Style</a>&#8216; to view all kinds of top<a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/halter-swimsuits.html"> </a>styles.</p>

Summer has (un)officially started! People are packing up their family, friends, and favorite swimsuits and heading to the beach. Summer is our favorite time of the year because of the sun, sand and the endless possibilities of what swimsuit we’ll wear on our various vacations. The U.S. has so many great vacation spots to head to this season and we thought we’d share our top five favorite beach locations!</p>
<p>Number 5: <strong>South Padre Island, Texas</strong></p>
<p>South Padre Island, Texas is one of the most popular beaches in Texas because of it’s pristine water and natural beauty. It is located on the Gulf of Mexico and features great nightlife and amazing restaurants. It is located just miles from the Mexican border where you can soak up the culture and festivities. If you’re heading to South Padre Island this summer, we suggest the <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/rodeo-drive-one-piece.html">Rodeo Drive One-Piece</a> by <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/sabz-swimwear.html">Sabz Swimwear</a>. This swimsuit parallels the Texas culture and is a great piece for a day on the beach or with a <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/swimsuit-cover-ups.html">cover-up</a> for the evening.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/rodeo-drive-one-piece.html"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6365" src="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/SouthPadre1.jpg" alt="" width="599" height="300" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p>Number 4: <strong>Virginia Beach, Virginia</strong></p>
<p>Virginia Beach is the perfect  destination for families to travel this summer. Northeasterners flock to this location because of the soft sand and exciting atmosphere.

The show consisted of upbeat performances by the Foo Fighters and Lupe Fiasco and <em>The Twlight Saga: Eclipse</em> took home the most awards, winning the coveted ‘Best Movie Award.’</p>
<p>But the knockdown at the awards was <strong>Reese Witherspoon</strong> who took home the Generation Award. Her award was presented by Patrick Dempsey, Robert Pattison and Chelsea Handler who have all worked with the actress at some point. The 35-year-old Witherspoon accepted her award in a hilarious manner (who knew she was so funny?) and wore a beautiful and age appropriate Vivienne Westwood number.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/underwire-swimsuit.html">underwire top</a> dress is not only relevant in clothing, but a big trend in swimsuit designs. We loved her wardrobe choice, as it reminded us of some of our favorite <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/">swimsuits</a>.</p>
<p>The<a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/nile-lana-one-piece.html"> Nile Lana One-Piece</a> by <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/despi-swimwear.html">Despi Swimwear</a> is the perfect example of an <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/underwire-swimsuit.html">underwire swimsuit</a> with a  similar look to Witherspoon’s. <em>Lucky</em> magazine Editor Noelle Sciccia exclaims, it’s a “Despi suit [that] brings a modern twist to the classic style.&#8221; It features a <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/bandeau-swimsuit.html">bandeau bikini top</a> with a <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/halter-swimsuits.html">removable halter strap</a>, <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/padded-swimwear.html">soft molded cups</a> and <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/full-coverage-swimsuit-bottom.html">full coverage in the rear</a>.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/into-the-wild-lover-one-piece.html">Into The Wild Lover One-Piece</a> by <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/nanette-lepore-swimwear.html">Nanette Lepore Swimwear</a> is another <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/underwire-swimsuit.html">underwire</a> styled swimsuit with beautiful <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/lace-up-swimwear.html">lace detail</a> and a fun <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/animal-print-swimsuit.html">animal print</a>. It also has <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/padded-swimwear.html">soft molded cups for support</a> and <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/lace-up-swimwear.html">lace-up detail</a> in the back. The rear provides <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/full-coverage-swimsuit-bottom.html">full coverage.</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/nilewild.jpg" rel="lightbox[6329]"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-6331" src="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/nilewild-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a>Both suits are sure to stand out like any Reese wardrobe choide, with an elegant and classic look that will leave you feeling sexy and adventurous!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Sofia-Vergara-People2.jpg" rel="lightbox[6033]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6039" title="Sofia Vergara People Most Beautiful Women 2011" src="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Sofia-Vergara-People2.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="331" /></a>Sofia Vergara</strong> can do no wrong in our book. From her exagerated Latin accent and endearingly sweet moments in <em>Modern Family</em>, to her voluptious curves, we have to say we love the gal. Fawned over by the likes of <strong>Tom Cruise</strong> back in the day (allegedly they had a one-night &#8216;date&#8217; confirmed by both parties), and drooled over by the other characters in the her hit sitcom, it was no surprise People put her in a <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/pinup-swimwear.html">pinup swimsuit</a> for the Most Beautiful Women repertoire this year.</p>
<div id="attachment_6041" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 180px"><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/nile-lana-one-piece.html"><img class="size-full wp-image-6041" title="Nile Lana One Piece by Despi Swimwear" src="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Screen-shot-2011-04-26-at-12.45.16-PM.png" alt="" width="170" height="251" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Option 1: Nile Lana One Piece</p></div>
<p>How cool is it to have a woman out there embrace her curves and love the way she looks? We dig it. And when that combines with anything <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/">swimwear</a>, you know we’re in line to provide a comment!</p>
<p><strong>SO HERE&#8217;S HOW WE WOULD STYLE HER&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>Ok so here&#8217;s the deal: we get why they chose the <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/white-bikini.html">white swimsuit</a>. It’s kind of an eighties-Madonna-meets-Marilyn-Monroe moment, perfect for someone of her silhouette. The thing is, to us Sofia needs a bit more of spice in her wardrobe. With the vociferous voice and Latin roots, why not spruce up the look with some <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/animal-print-swimsuit.html">animal print</a>?</p>
<p>If we were the stylists of this Beatiful people shoot, we’d keep all the main elements: <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/one-piece-swimsuits.html">one piece swimsuit</a>, underwire top, and pinup look, but we’d put her up in something like the <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/nile-lana-one-piece.html">Nile Lana One-Piece</a> by <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/despi-swimwear.html">Despi Swimwear</a>.</p>
<div id="attachment_6042" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 182px"><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/into-the-wild-lover-one-piece.html"><img class="size-full wp-image-6042" title="Into the Wild by Nanette Lepore Swimwear" src="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Screen-shot-2011-04-26-at-12.46.26-PM.png" alt="" width="172" height="255" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Option 2: Into the Wild Lover</p></div>
<p>This <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/underwire-swimsuit.html">underwire swimsuit</a> comes with the same Monroe-ish flair but adds some animal prints to the mix, just for the kick this diva merits. Actually, if we had our way with this, we’d push it further into something a bit more literal, like the <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/into-the-wild-lover-one-piece.html">Into the Wild Love One Piece</a>. This sexy suit by <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/nanette-lepore-swimwear.html">Nanette Lepore Swimwear</a> features a lace-up detail at the back and pushes up the <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/pinup-swimwear.html">pinup-style</a> in a current way. Nothing like covering the areas you want hidden but still being able to play on your good side (ie, perky girls). If you’re curvy like Sofia, and like to dress to impress at the beach, opt for one of these.</p>
<p>What do you think? Do you prefer the white or is something spicier a better fit?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/kanye-west.jpg" rel="lightbox[5688]"><img class="size-medium wp-image-5689 alignleft" title="kanye west" src="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/kanye-west-208x300.jpg" alt="" width="208" height="300" /></a>We frequently discuss celebrity looks that mirror our <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/">designer swimwear</a> items, but seldom are those styles featured on celebrities of the <em>male</em> kind. Let’s face it, being that we discuss <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/two-piece-swimsuit.html">two-piece bikinis</a>, women’s fashion is just more parallel with our topic du jour. Today, we find it surprising that <strong>Kanye West</strong> is at the forefront of our current feature.</p>
<p>Oddly enough, what the guy lacks in social skills (enter: MTV Music Awards circa 2009), he makes up for with fashion sense. This time, he seems to be very on trend with a look that has us going ga-ga: <strong>red with gray</strong>. At first thought, we can see how using an opaque color like gray could clash with red, but actually, it has its little charm about. The gray is not as severe as say, black, and it still makes the red pop.</p>
<div id="attachment_5692" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 177px"><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/etnopop-cindy_despi-swimwear.jpg" rel="lightbox[5688]"><img class="size-full wp-image-5692" title="etnopop cindy_despi swimwear" src="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/etnopop-cindy_despi-swimwear.jpg" alt="" width="167" height="250" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Etnopop Cindy by Despi</p></div>
<p>Case in point: the <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/etnopop-cindy-bikini.html">Etnopop Cindy</a> by <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/despi-swimwear.html">Despi Swimwear</a>. This sexy bikini features a slew of ‘on trend’ features: geometric/ethnic prints, gray with red, ruffles, and studs. This  sexy combination results in a edgy and modern look that is as functional as it is unique. The to <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/triangle-swimsuit-tops.html">triangle top</a> features <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/padded-swimwear.html">removable padding</a> for shape and support, and the <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/string-bikini-bottoms.html">string bikini bottom</a> allows the option of adjusting the waistline at your preference. We adore this look so much we’re willing to give Kanye some face time on our blog!</p>
<p>We’re kidding, we love his work, the man’s a genius. But for real Kanye, try to stay away from diarrhea of the mouth. It’s a real disease you know.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/shakira-in-cobalt-blue-dress.jpg" rel="lightbox[5487]"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-5500" title="shakira in cobalt blue dress" src="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/shakira-in-cobalt-blue-dress-204x300.jpg" alt="" width="204" height="300" /></a><strong>Shakira </strong>is blue… cobalt blue, that is, and we l-o-v-e it. This color trend has definitely made the rounds on the catwalk and celebrity fashion lately, and blue hues in general have become one of the go-to colors for the red carpet as of recent.</p>
<p>Today we’re gushing over Shakira’s princess –like dress with layers of tulle ruffles below the waistline. We’ve noticed this color in <strong><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/">swimwear 2011</a></strong> styles and other similar trends that exemplify some of the Colombian pop star’s dress features. For one, the <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/bandeau-swimsuit.html">bandeau bikini top</a> translates flawlessly onto swim garments, and by adding <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/underwire-swimsuit.html">underwire cups</a> built into the bra the style accentuates in all the right places.</p>
<p>Case in point: the <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blueberry-cake-underwire.html">Blueberry Cake</a> by <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/betsey-johnson-swim.html">Betsey Johnson Swimwear</a>.</p>
<div id="attachment_5493" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blueberry-cake-underwire.html"><img class="size-medium wp-image-5493 " title="betsey-johnson-swimwear" src="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/betsey-johnson-swimwear-300x208.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="208" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Blueberry Cake Bikini by Betsey Johnson</p></div>
<p>The great thing about this option is that the top comes with adjustable bra straps that can be worn over the shoulder as a second strap or near the neckline. Love the <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/string-bikini-bottoms.html">string bottom</a> because it allows you to adjust your waist preference. The ruffles on this <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/ruffle-swimsuit.html">ruffled swimsuit</a> mirror the flirtatiousness and feminity of Shak’s gown.</p>
<p>Another style to look out for  if you’re wanting a more demure but still current option is the <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/malibu-virna-bikini.html">Malibu Virna</a> by <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/despi-swimwear.html">Despi Swimwear</a>. This <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/high-waisted-swimsuits.html">high waisted bikini</a> features a <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/pinup-swimwear.html">pinup style</a> with its sexy silhouette. The <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/padded-swimwear.html">padded swimsuit</a> top features shirring that adorn the cups and soft traps that don’t cut into the skin.</p>
<div id="attachment_5496" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 169px"><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/malibu-virna-bikini.html"><img class="size-full wp-image-5496 " title="despi-swimwear-virna" src="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/despi-swimwear-virna.jpg" alt="" width="159" height="221" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Malibu Virna by Despi</p></div>
<p>Speaking of skin, this cobalt blue tone works on dark or light skin tones but tends to highlight brunette hair colors best. There you have it, if you can’t move your hips like Shakira, at least you can’t flaunt this hot color!</p>
