This Colombian brand is known for it’s wild prints and fitted cuts. Even though here at the Orchid we know the perks about being an OndadeMar Swimwear girl (like feminine prints that make you POP), we were happy to see the Hollywood crowd knew the perks as well. Some of the hottest celebrities, including Irina Shayk, Jessica Alba and Alessandra Ambrosio, were spotted rocking this vibrant brand.
It was extra exciting to see Irina Shayk, a Russian model known for her features in Sports Illustrated, in a print that yours truly carries! She wore a triangle top and string bottom with the same reddish cheetah animal print as the Niza Monokini. She looks fab in her bikini, but I have to say I’ve become a sucker for the monokini style.

If you want to get Irina Shayk’s style, please visit our site here: http://www.theorchidboutique.com/niza-monokini.html
Of course, we haven’t forgotten to show you how fabulous the other ladies rocked the brand. I wonder what styles they plan on purchasing when the OndadeMar 2013 collection comes out!?

It’s here! The highly anticipated 2012 collection from OndadeMar Swimwear has arrived and is inspired by the French Riviera. The trendy region is a beautiful sea-side escape for any traveler. OndadeMar celebrates the heritage of the French Riviera lifestyle with their newest collection, naming each fabric print after a different Riviera locale.
San Tropez, Portofino, Biarritz, Siena, Miramar, Niza, and Cannes are a selection of the locations which inspired the swimwear designs and names. The French Riviera has a rich history as a luxury destination beginning with royalty and European aristocrats. Later attracting painters, writers and artists, the region eventually evolved into its own locale filled with Belle Époque style villas. The Côte d'Azur, in French, attracts tourists with beautiful white sand beaches and brilliantly blue waters.
Designers such as Emilio Pucci and Coco Chanel evolved resort wear fashion which consumed most women’s ...

Stunning Resident Evil actress Milla Jovovich was spotted vacationing in her normal high-fashion style. Celebrating her second wedding anniversary, Milla and her husband Paul W.S. Anderson, a film producer, jetted off to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. The couple stayed at the ritzy Las Ventanas Resort and enjoyed much of their time by the pool sipping champagne! Milla’s resort attire featured a classic white bikini topped with a beautifully printed cover-up by OndadeMar Swimwear.
Beach Cover-ups are truly the finishing piece to a vacation ensemble. If you must cover your fabulous swimsuit, make sure you do it in style – no white tee’s please! Cover-ups allow you to bring your bikini straight to the bar and have become more than your typical cotton dress. Swimwear designers have incorporated detailing into their cover-ups and have innovated with distinctly new designs. Add a pair ...

You found the perfect bikini, cover-up, and accessories to match and you’re headed to a luxury beach vacation or local pool party. But wait – how will you tote around your towel, cell phone, and magazine in style? The ultimate versatile, functional accessory – the beach bag!
If you’re adding another accessory to your look, let’s make sure it’s stylish – no reusable grocery bags please! Instead, try a chic beach bag from OndadeMar Swimwear. We love the boho style Brooke Beach Bags from Ondademar. Available in two colors, black or cream, this bag will compliment any swimsuit. The crochet style is our favorite for a relaxed day at the beach or a dazzling night at a pool party.
What about your solid black or white swimsuits? While these styles are flattering for your figure, jazz them up ...

Do you ever wake up and wonder, what is like to be Beyoncé? What would my day consist of if I could sing, dance, act, perform like a rockstar, be a wife, be loved by millions, be a style icon, and just all around be amazing? I think about this everyday but unfortunately, it leads to nothing because I can do none of the above (I took a few dance classes here and there and I like to believe I’m a style icon though…).
Nonetheless, waking up and actually being Beyoncé, probably even being her arm, is most likely amazing. Need proof? Recently, Beyoncé and mama Beyoncé took a little shopping trip in London to Topshop and Selfridge’s. Normal right? Nope, not when you’re Beyoncé. Two typical stores that normal folk like you and I shop at were invaded by the entertainer where she dropped over $14,000. And on top ...

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.
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 ...
