			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Polka-Dots.jpg" rel="lightbox[7981]"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-7982" src="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Polka-Dots.jpg" alt="" width="621" height="588" /></a>As you browse through those tabloids in line at the grocery store, (don’t pretend like you don’t do it, we all do!) we’re sure you’ll be seeing this top trend among celebs: retro polka dots.  These white spots stand boldly on dark dues of black or navy blue.  This time around we’ve seen actresses <strong>Emma Roberts</strong>, <strong>Kirsten Dunst</strong>, and <strong>Mila Kunis</strong> proudly sport this flirty retro trend.  The<em> Melancholia</em>, <em>Friends with Benefits</em>, and<em> The Art of Getting By</em> actresses all chose different versions of the trend easily suitable for day or night events.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/pinwheel-underwire.html"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-8031" title="Betsey Johnson Swimwear" src="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Main_model_Small.jpg" alt="" width="167" height="250" /></a>These big screen beauties chose multiple silhouettes for their vintage inspired look, and <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/pinup-swimwear.html">pin-up swimsuit</a> inspired looks often favor the polka flair, as illustrated below.  Young starlet Emma chose a curve-hugging retro silhouette dress for a knock-out look.  Kirsten paired a flowing maxi skirt with her polka dot blouse for a sophisticated style.  Last but not least, the super fun brunette Mila chose a flaired skirt dress with perfect cap sleeves.  These retro polka dots also vary in size, but maintain a repeated print; this allows for the print to be captivating to the eye without overwhelming your figure and your beauty.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/pinwheel-underwire.html"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-7989" src="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/retro-polka-3.jpg" alt="" width="154" height="250" /></a>If you’re looking to channel this retro inspiration for your next vacation getaway, we’ve found the perfect <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/">luxury bikini</a> designer for you: <strong><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/betsey-johnson-swim.html">Betsey Johnson Swimwear</a></strong>.  Specifically, Betsey’s <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/pinwheel-underwire.html"><strong>Pinwheel Underwire</strong></a> top and <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/pinwheel-bottom.html"><strong>Pinwheel Bottom</strong></a> pull inspiration from this polka dot trend with a main print of white dots on black fabric, accented with flowers and a neck strap in the contrasting black dots on white fabric.  This complimenting combination of fabrics brings some fun to this <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/halter-swimsuits.html">halter swimsuit</a> with padding and <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/underwire-swimsuit.html">underwire</a> for shape and support.  The <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/full-coverage-swimsuit-bottom.html">full coverage Pinwheel bottom</a> features a ruched detail at the sides for a flattering fit and a contrasting fabric and flower detail at the hips to match the underwire top.</p>
<p>We’re head over heels in love with this retro inspired swimsuit and its adorable name.  We can see it now, picture perfect with a pinwheel in hand, on the white sands of the beach.</p>

<p>As a <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/">swimwear blog</a>, we are always on the hunt for new post-baby bikini pictures. We are inspired by moms who are able to get their pre baby figure back, and be confident in themselves enough to flaunt a <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/">luxury bikini</a>! As is the case with <strong>Ashlee Simpson-Wentz</strong>, recently spotted with son <strong>Bronx Wentz</strong> at the beach in Hawaii.</p>
<div id="attachment_2849" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 177px"><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/product_detail_swimwear/1024.html"><img class="size-full wp-image-2849 " title="maaji swimwear" src="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Thumb.jpg" alt="" width="167" height="250" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Recommended: Maritimum Gray by Maaji</p></div>
<p>What a lovely sight it was to see Ashlee’s healthy slender figure back on track. A true example of how women can have it all… a career, a baby, and a hot bod. Style-wise though, we think Ashlee could’ve done a bit better on the color area. Because her skin is pale and her hair jett black, a black and white gingham bikini can make her a appear a bit paler and faded.</p>
<p>We dig her retro pinup feel, being <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/category_swimwear_type/57/3.html">pinup swimwear</a> one of our favorite trends. However, if you&#8217;re considering a similar look, we’d recommend the <strong><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/product_detail_swimwear/1024.html">Maritimum Gray</a></strong> by<strong> <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/category_swimwear_brand/6/3.html">Maaji Swimwear</a></strong>. With the same silhouette as Ashlee’s black and white number, this swimsuit features a mix n match array of designer fabrics. The top cinching at mid bust emphasizes the cleavage area while the ruffled bottom gives the flirty 50s look a contemporary kick. The back features special double ties and keyhole at mid-back, and the gray and yellow stripes are totally on trend for this season.</p>
<div id="attachment_2850" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 177px"><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/product_detail_swimwear/1024.html"><img class="size-full wp-image-2850" title="maaji" src="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Alt2_Thumb.jpg" alt="" width="167" height="250" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Maritimum Gray back view</p></div>
<p>Thumbs up on your new shape Ashlee! Take it from us, color suits you!</p>

<p>Whoopsy daisy, <strong>Kimmy</strong>. It seems the churn of the waves misadjusted your <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/">swimsuit</a> bottom. How is this referred to, we wonder? Butt slip? We’re not sure.</p>
<p>What we are sure of is that a) you look great in a <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/">swimsuit</a>, b) <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/string_bikini.php">string bikinis</a> flatter you, and c) you probably needed to go up a size on this one. It’s vital to make sure the bottom covers you at least until the small of your back begins!</p>
<div id="attachment_2840" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 177px"><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/product_detail_swimwear/1056.html"><img class="size-full wp-image-2840 " title="luxury-bikini" src="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/new_alt3_Thumb.jpg" alt="" width="167" height="250" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Recommended: Royal Olive by True Religion</p></div>
<p>No worries though, Kim. We’re sure men all over the world were thanking you (and the photographer who shot you unexpectedly) for this minor faux paus. We’d like to give you kudos for being on trend with the color chosen on this style. Brassy chrome colors are in for <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>swimwear 2010</strong></span></a> this season. Just like Kim’s look, swimsuits with brassy tones are great for fair skin types as well as darker tones because it brings out the contrast and usually have a bit of gradient to them.</p>
<p>A great option to consider if you want <strong>Kim Kardashian</strong>’s look is the studded <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/product_detail_swimwear/1056.html">Royal Olive Bikini</a> by <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/category_swimwear_brand/41/3.html">True Religion Swimwear</a>. The brassy olive tone also features studded detail which mixes in the rocker flair. It also ties on the sides with soft ties and comes with removable padding for shape and support.</p>
<p>Keep flaunting your sexy curves at the beach Kimmy. You are an inspiration to women out there with junk in the trunk. Get the recommended look <a href="../../product_detail_swimwear/1056.html">here</a>.</p>
