			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify"><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Stacy+Keibler+George+Clooney-edit2.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-8709" src="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Stacy+Keibler+George+Clooney-edit2.jpg" alt="" width="299" height="356" /></a>Let&#8217;s face it- besides <em>Dancing with the Stars</em> and some Wrestling Stacy  Keibler is no<em> Oscar</em> winner, so maybe if we steal her L*Space style we&#8217;ll  be George Clooney&#8217;s next gal!  For celebrities, the Holidays are all about traveling and spending time with family under the sun (and of course evading that pesky paparazzo’s).  But we sure are glad that the paparazzi are able to snap a few photos for us to follow our favorite celeb’s fashions.  For the buzzed about couple <strong>George Clooney</strong> and <strong>Stacy Keibler</strong>, avoiding the cameras these days is a difficult task; the couple enjoyed some rest and relaxation on the beautiful white sands in Cabo San Lucas over the New Year holiday.  George and Stacy were spending some downtime with pals <strong>Cindy Crawford </strong>and her husband <strong>Rande Gerber</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">Stacy’s holiday in the sun was filled with fashionable beach attire and <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/sexy-swimwear.html">swimsuits</a>, but nothing more trendy than the <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/teal-callisto-jumper.html">Teal Callisto Jumper</a> she was spotted wearing.  The actress, model, and former professional wrestler shows off her bleach blonde locks but keeps protected from the sun with shades, a hat and this beautiful swimsuit cover-up from <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/l-space-swimwear.html">L*Space Swimwear</a>.  <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/teal-callisto-jumper.html"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-8711" src="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Small_Alt4.jpg" alt="" width="167" height="250" /></a>This casual <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/rompers-for-women.html">romper</a> is easy to wear and made of a super soft material.  Cinching at the sides of the shorts offers a unique shape and flatters those long, lean legs of Stacy.  <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/crochet-bikini.html">Crochet</a> detailing on the shoulders and a dramatic back add unique detailing that lets this romper stand out among the rest.  This teal hue has been popular for two years now and is going strong for this 2012 season.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">We’re not sure if the<em> long-time bachelor</em>, who was once married but vowed never to marry again after his divorce, will ever settle down…but if <strong>Stacy Keibler</strong> wants to marry him we see no reason why he would say no!  She’s stunningly hot and seems down-to-earth, and she looks perfect walking hand-in-hand with Clooney in her L*Space <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/swimsuit-cover-ups.html">swimsuit cover-up</a>.</p>

<div id="attachment_7455" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/NanetteRunway-7.jpg" rel="lightbox[7450]"><strong><strong><img class="size-medium wp-image-7455" src="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/NanetteRunway-7-200x300.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></strong></strong></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Nanette Lepore 2012 Spring Ready-to-Wear</p></div>
<p><strong>Nanette Lepore</strong>&#8217;s Spring 2012 Ready-to-Wear collection hit the runway at New York Fashion Week with an explosion of neon colors against a plain, clean-lined runway.  The fluorescent colors were bold yet pleasing in shades of yellow, orange and pink.  Nanette featured a live band at the base of the runway, also dressed in coordinating bright colors.</p>
<div id="attachment_7458" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 210px"><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/NanetteRunway-6.jpg" rel="lightbox[7450]"><img class="size-medium wp-image-7458" src="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/NanetteRunway-6-200x300.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Nanette Lepore 2012 Spring Ready-to-Wear</p></div>
<p>Nanette’s spring collection consisted of clean-lined silhouettes and solids, allowing you to appreciate her design aspects.  Filled with gathering details at the natural waist line, this new collection will make every woman look slim and feel fabulous. Nanette’s collections are all about the design details.  This collection in particular featured geometrical fabric manipulations, <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/crochet-bikini.html">crochet</a> and lace.  Nanette chose multiple pieces to feature cutouts or twist fabric to show just a hint of skin.   The designer’s  unique oblong cut-outs make many pieces flattering, including the back of a hot pink dress, a shocking yellow cropped top, and the front neckline of a pink and purple printed tea length dress.</p>
<div id="attachment_7463" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/NanetteRunway-combo.jpg" rel="lightbox[7450]"><img class="size-medium wp-image-7463" src="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/NanetteRunway-combo-300x224.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="224" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Nanette Lepore Spring 2012 Ready-to-Wear</p></div>
<p>Along with her fluorescent tones, Nanette included some favorite colors that are quickly rising to their own fame.  A beautiful bright coral was featured on many designs including dresses, cropped tops, and even a suit.  There’s also an influx of <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/fuchsia-swimsuit.html">fuchsia</a>, we can’t get enough fuchsia this fashion week!   The <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/nanette-lepore-swimwear.html">Nanette Lepore Swimwear</a> styles were definitely on &#8220;it&#8221; list at the show, featuring three suits in coordinating prints with the collection.  For these runway showcases Nanette chose a <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/high-waisted-swimsuits.html">high-waisted bottom</a> paired with a mid-drift tankini and two <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/one-piece-swimsuits.html">one piece swimsuits</a> with cut-outs and rouching.</p>
<div id="attachment_7469" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 177px"><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Nanette2012Swim-2.jpg" rel="lightbox[7450]"><img class="size-full wp-image-7469" src="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Nanette2012Swim-2.jpg" alt="" width="167" height="250" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Chelsea Triangle Top and String Bottom by Nanette Lepore</p></div>
<p>We simply adore the use of <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/floral-swimsuit.html"> floral</a>-printed lace overlays on two dresses, allowing for two bold colors to make an amazing impact together.  Nanette also used a <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/floral-swimsuit.html">floral</a> coral colored <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/crochet-bikini.html">crochet</a> to create a dress and a cropped top, both with dainty cap sleeves and scalloped detailing down the center front. <strong>Nanette Lepore </strong>herself wore a <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/crochet-bikini.html">crochet</a> dress with scalloped lines in white fading to a soft yellow color.</p>
<p>After Nanette’s Spring Ready-to-Wear runway show we are crazy about <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/crochet-bikini.html">crochet</a>!  The crochet dress and cropped top from the runway featured a delicate scalloped detail down the center of the front.  Nanette Lepore’s 2012 Swimwear collection includes <strong>Chelsea</strong>, the entirely crochet collection drenched in striking lilac.  This delicate bikini features a <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/triangle-swimsuit-tops.html">triangle top</a> and <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/string-bikini-bottoms.html">string bottom</a> in crochet with scalloped detailing.</p>
<div id="attachment_7473" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 260px"><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/nanette-lepore-swimwear.html"><img class="size-full wp-image-7473" src="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Nanette-1.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="167" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Crochet Short Dress by Nanette Lepore</p></div>
<p>Also in crochet, Nanette Lepore’s 2012 Swimwear collection features a short-sleeved <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/swimsuit-cover-ups.html">cover up</a> in azure, black, passionfruit, and white colors.  Look familiar? The <strong>Crochet Short Dress Cover Up</strong> is very similar to Nanette’s finale walk ensemble!  This cover up is a fun and flirty dress, perfect for your beach resort vacation.</p>
<div id="attachment_7475" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 177px"><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/nanette-lepore-swimwear.html"><img class="size-full wp-image-7475 " src="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Nanette2012Swim-1.jpg" alt="" width="167" height="250" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Central Park Croquette Twist Top and Pin Up Skirt by Nanette Lepore</p></div>
<p>If you’re looking for something with brighter colors similar to Nanette’s runway, you’ll love the swimwear collection’s <strong>Central Park</strong> story line.  These <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/">swimsuits</a> and <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/swimsuit-cover-ups.html">beach cover ups</a> feature an exotic peacock feather print in bold colors of  fuchsia, bright blue, lime, and true grass green.  The <strong>Central Park Coquette Twist Top</strong> and <strong>Pin-up Skirt</strong> pull design inspirations from <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/nanette-lepore-swimwear.html">Nanette’s</a> spring runway show in both silhouette and color.  An amazing feature to the <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/high-waisted-swimsuits.html">high-waisted bikini</a> is the convertibility of the piece with the ruched fabric, just roll it up or down to adjust the height of you high-waist.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/paris_image.jpg" rel="lightbox[5093]"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-5115" src="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/paris_image.jpg" alt="" width="335" height="250" /></a>Paris Hilton</strong> was spotted in a family vacation in Maui, sporting a very sexy shell print swimsuit. As <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/">designer swimwear</a> gurus, we spotted an item Paris might have wished she had seen it earlier.</p>
<p>So Paris gets away from the cold weather this holiday season, and off she goes to Maui to celebrate Christmas with her boyfriend <strong>Cy Waits</strong>, her mom and dad <strong>Rick and Kathy Hilton</strong>, and her sister <strong>Nicky Hilton</strong>. Both girls look amazing in their swimsuits but Paris’s cute <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/about-string-bikinis">string bikini</a> caught our attention.  The heiress was seen wearing a handful of swimsuits (of course when you’re in the spotlight, wardrobe changes are a must) each one more stunning than the last, however the shell print on this particular bikini, we love.</p>
<div id="attachment_5096" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 177px"><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/atraccion.html"><img class="size-full wp-image-5096" src="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/small_14_9_1.jpg" alt="" width="167" height="250" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Atraccion by Maui Swimwear</p></div>
<p>So if you must get your hands on one just like this, for your upcoming vacation, do it like Paris and go for the shells. There&#8217;s a <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/halter-swimsuits.html">halter top bikini</a> that we just so happen to love more than Paris’s choice, and here’s why: The <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/atraccion.html">Atraccion Halter Bikini </a>by <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/maui-swimwear.html">Maui Swimwear</a> (what a coincidence) is the perfect bikini for any special getaway. Not only does it have a shell print backdrop, it is full of beaded and <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/embroidered-swimsuit.html">embroidered details</a> all throughout the swimsuit, which adds the ideal touch of glamour to your bikini.</p>
<div id="attachment_5097" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 177px"><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/atraccion.html"><img class="size-full wp-image-5097" src="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/small_1.jpg" alt="" width="167" height="250" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Atraccion by Maui Swimwear</p></div>
<p>The Halter top offers just the right amount of coverage, making it a great choice for any cup size, and the top ties at the neck and back.</p>
<div id="attachment_5098" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 177px"><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/atraccion.html"><img class="size-full wp-image-5098" src="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/small_2.jpg" alt="" width="167" height="250" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Atraccion by Maui Swimwear</p></div>
<p>The bottom of the swimsuit has <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/gold-hardware-swimwear.html">gold hardware ring details</a> at each hip, which not only make this bathing suit glamorous but add a sexy eye-catching detail that glimmers in the sun when you walk. And although this is a low cut suit, the rear offers moderate coverage, making it sexy but modest.</p>
<div id="attachment_5099" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 177px"><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/atraccion.html"><img class="size-full wp-image-5099" src="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/small_3.jpg" alt="" width="167" height="250" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Atraccion by Maui Swimwear</p></div>
<p>So for your next vacation flaunt the sexy shell print trend like the heiress did, but with much more style!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Navy-Blue.jpg" rel="lightbox[5070]"><img class="size-full wp-image-5118 aligncenter" src="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Navy-Blue.jpg" alt="" width="505" height="250" /></a>Celebrities like <strong>Beyonce</strong>, <strong>Carrie Underwood</strong> and <strong>Nicole Kidman</strong> have been spotted wearing a very trendy color for next season, navy blue. We love the sailor-inspired style this trend brings to <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/">designer swimwear</a>.</p>
<div id="attachment_5075" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 177px"><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/stella-catwalk-bikini.html"><img class="size-full wp-image-5075" src="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Main_Small1.jpg" alt="" width="167" height="250" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Stella Catwalk by L*Space Swimwear</p></div>
<p>Beyonce wore this gorgeous navy blue dress to the launch of her new perfume “Heat”.  She (or her stylist, we’re not sure) chose a very appropriate and very elegant style that suited her so well.</p>
<p>Carrie Underwood wore this navy blue dress by designer, Jenny Packham, to the CMT artist of the year event. Her long sleeve and embellished dress caught some attention because it’s not Carrie’s usual style but in our opinion she looked stunning.</p>
<div id="attachment_5076" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 177px"><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/stella-catwalk-bikini.html"><img class="size-full wp-image-5076" src="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Untitled-4.jpg" alt="" width="167" height="250" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Stella Catwalk by L*Space Swimwear</p></div>
<p>And Nicole Kidman walked the red carpet for the premiere of her latest film Rabbit Hole and also wore a navy blue Clements Ribeiro dress, full of lacey details and sparkle.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/stella-catwalk-bikini.html">Stella Catwalk Bikini</a> by <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/l-space-swimwear.html">L*Space Swimwear</a> is elegant and tasteful yet subtly sexy and beautiful, all at the same time. The navy blue backdrop is what makes it elegant and timeless, and the triangle top style makes it sexy and gorgeous. This swimsuit features <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/gold-hardware-swimwear.html">gold hardware</a> chain accents at the straps and at each hip, which not only add to its already elegant design but also sparkle in the sun making it glamorous and chic.</p>
<div id="attachment_5078" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 177px"><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/stella-catwalk-bikini.html"><img class="size-full wp-image-5078" src="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Untitled-5.jpg" alt="L*Space Swimwear" width="167" height="250" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Stella Catwalk by L*Space Swimwear</p></div>
<p>If you are looking for a <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/padded-swimwear.html">padded top bikini</a>, this is the perfect suit, and if you prefer bikinis that aren&#8217;t padded, the padding is removable, so they adjust to any preference. The top also ties at the neck and at the back. The bottom offers moderate coverage at the rear and looks great from every angle.</p>

This time it’s <strong>Cameron Diaz</strong> baring it all and sporting a <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/">designer swimsuit</a> by <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/l-space-swimwear.html">L*Space Swimwear</a>. The stunning actress was spotted in Los Cabos, Mexico with her boyfriend <strong>Alex Rodriguez</strong> aka A-Rod of the New York Yankees during the holiday week.</p>
<div id="attachment_5151" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 177px"><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/lola-taboo-bikini.html"><img class="size-full wp-image-5151" src="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Untitled-13.jpg" alt="" width="167" height="250" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Lola Taboo Bikini by L*Space Swimwear</p></div>
<p>We love to catch celebs wearing luxe suits, especially when they strut their stuff wearing the products that we carry. So which bikini was Cameron Diaz wearing? She wore the unbelievably gorgeous, <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/lola-taboo-bikini.html">Lola Taboo Bandeau Bikini</a> by <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/l-space-swimwear.html">L*Space Swimwear</a>. Celebrities love L*Space, from <strong>Victoria Beckham</strong> to <strong>Audrina Patridge</strong> and now Cameron. We completely understand why they love it so much, not only are their designs fabulous in every way, the fabrics are silky soft and so very comfortable.</p>
<div id="attachment_5152" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 177px"><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/lola-taboo-bikini.html"><img class="size-full wp-image-5152" src="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Untitled-42.jpg" alt="" width="167" height="250" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Lola Taboo Bikini by L*Space Swimwear</p></div>
<p>This <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/bandeau-swimsuit.html">bandeau top bikini</a> is super cute because the top has a twisted fabric detail which creates a sweetheart neckline. Not only does this feature flatter the bust, it’s also completely sexy. This is also a <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/padded-swimwear.html">padded top swimsuit</a>, so it molds perfectly to your body, and it ties at the back, making it easy to adjust to your convenience. The bottom of this swimsuit has eye-catching double stings at each hip that create a sexy keyhole opening. The bottom of this swimsuit has moderate coverage at the rear, enough to cover what should be left to the imagination, and the right amount to make it sexy.</p>
<div id="attachment_5153" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 177px"><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/lola-taboo-bikini.html"><img class="size-full wp-image-5153" src="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Untitled-31.jpg" alt="" width="167" height="250" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Lola Taboo Bikini by L*Space Swimwear</p></div>
<p>So keep up with the craze and view all of the L*Space products that have celebrities going gaga over, at <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/l-space-swimwear.html">http://www.theorchidboutique.com/l-space-swimwear.html</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/blog_image1.jpg" rel="lightbox[5052]"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-5057" src="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/blog_image1.jpg" alt="" width="167" height="250" /></a><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/blog_image2.jpg" rel="lightbox[5052]"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-5058" src="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/blog_image2.jpg" alt="" width="167" height="250" /></a><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/blog_image.jpg" rel="lightbox[5052]"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-5059" src="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/blog_image.jpg" alt="" width="167" height="250" /></a>Gwyneth Paltrow</strong> is promoting her latest movie, Country Strong, and of course she has to look fabulous on the red carpet. Although some people weren’t so thrilled with her choice of garment, maybe a better bet would have been taking the sexy lace-up where it belongs, on <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/">designer swimwear</a>.</p>
<div id="attachment_5060" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 177px"><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/bendito-unicornio.html"><img class="size-full wp-image-5060" src="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Small4.jpg" alt="" width="167" height="250" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Bendito Unicornio by Agua Bendita Swimwear</p></div>
<p>Even though we don’t mind her choice of dress, this Emilio Pucci number is rather plain in the front but the back is where it’s all happening. The open back ties all the way down to her upper thigh, a detail that can be a little scandalous to say the least. So maybe Gwyneth always looks amazing, and this time she didn’t quite hit the nail on the head, but Gwyneth, if you wanted to look sexy in lace-up you should have just asked us.</p>
<div id="attachment_5064" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 177px"><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/bendito-unicornio.html"><img class="size-full wp-image-5064" src="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/unicornio.jpg" alt="" width="167" height="250" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Bendito Unicornio by Agua Bendita Swimwear</p></div>
<p>Being the experts that we are in swimwear we would have recommended a sexy little number by <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/agua-bendita-swimwear.html">Agua Bendita Swimwear</a>, the <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/bendito-unicornio.html">Bendito Unicornio</a>. As seen on <strong>Candice Swanepoel</strong>, the world renowned model, this spectacular <a title="monokini swimsuit" href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/monokini-swimsuit.html" target="_blank">monokini swimsuit</a> is without a doubt a showstopper, and sports the <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/lace-up-swimwear.html">lace-up swimwear</a> trend perfectly. Its halter style top ties at the neck and at the back with a tie that wraps around below the bust. The lace-up detail starts just below the string tie and ends below the belly button (a risqué detail, but hey, you’re at the beach, not on the red carpet). The swimsuit also features mesh details throughout the hemlines, another eye-catching detail. The back is just as sexy, with a bottom that offers moderate coverage at the rear and we love the open back look, which of course is why they’re called <a title="monokinis" href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/monokini-swimsuit.html" target="_blank">monokinis</a>.</p>
<div id="attachment_5065" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 177px"><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/bendito-unicornio.html"><img class="size-full wp-image-5065" src="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/unicornio1.jpg" alt="" width="167" height="250" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Bendito Unicornio by Agua Bendita Swimwear</p></div>
<p>So lace-up the right way and remember, lace-up is always better on swimwear.</p>

She flaunted her looks at the billboard awards in New York City. But let’s focus on her dress. We are suckers for ruffles, especially when there are tiers of them, and as you know, we love <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/sabz-luxury-swimwear.html">luxury swimwear</a>, which is why we want to show you how to take this look straight to the yacht, or beach, or wherever.</p>
<div id="attachment_5004" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 177px"><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/aruba-blue-bikini.html"><img class="size-full wp-image-5004" src="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/small_15_1.jpg" alt="" width="167" height="250" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Aruba Blue Bikini by Sabz Luxury Swimwear</p></div>
<p>Ruffles have always been in style and will probably never go away because they add the perfect touch of femininity and flair. Lea’s Giorgio Armani “moon collection” dress is absolutely to die for, but who says you can’t get your hands on a stunning little number of your own. Here are some <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/ruffle-swimsuit.html">ruffled swimsuits</a> for those of us who love to look flirty and trendy.</p>
<div id="attachment_5005" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 177px"><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/raspberry-tea-tankini.html"><img class="size-full wp-image-5005" src="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/alt_small_2.jpg" alt="" width="167" height="250" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Raspberry Tea Tankini by Betsey Johnson Swimwear</p></div>
<p>The <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/aruba-blue-bikini.html">Aruba Blue Bikini</a> by <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/sabz-luxury-swimwear.html">Sabz Luxury Swimwear</a> is ruffles right where you want them. The top has numerous tiers of cascading ruffles all in a <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/bandeau-swimsuit.html">bandeau swimsuit</a> style that ties at the neck and back. The bottom of this swimsuit has a wrap around belt that ties at the hip and flows downward, a detail that will make you melt.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/raspberry-tea-tankini.html">Raspberry Tea Tankini</a> by <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/betsey-johnson-swim.html">Betsey Johnson Swimwear</a> is ruffle heaven. Tiers of ruffles down the torso create an eye-catching flow of ruffles that end in a skirted look. If you love this tankini, don’t forget to pair it with the <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/raspberry-tea-tie-sides.html">Raspberry Tea Tie Bottom</a> or the <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/raspberry-tea-skirty.html">Raspberry Tea Skirty</a>, for an even girlier look.</p>
<div id="attachment_5006" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 177px"><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/galapagos-bikini.html"><img class="size-full wp-image-5006" src="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/main_small_9_59.jpg" alt="" width="167" height="250" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Galapagos Bikini by OndaDeMar Swimwear</p></div>
<p>Lastly, the <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/galapagos-bikini.html">Galapagos Bikini</a> by <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/ondademar-swimwear.html">Onda De Mar Swimwear</a> is the ultimate island bikini that will have all the boys crazy. Three tiers of ruffles on both the top and bottom each have a beaded and embellished hemline for a little bit of glam. The bandeau top ties at the back for adjustable and very comfortable fit, and the bottom has perfect moderate coverage.</p>
<p>So go all out with ruffles and be as girly as can be in these sweet swimsuit made for all of the girly girls at heart.</p>

<p>So how does Christina do it? Is it that spectacular color she is wearing, we ask? We definitely think so!</p>
<p>We love a good pop of color to brighten our day, especially during this season. What better way to celebrate any occasion than with a color that makes you stand out in a crowd, or at the beach, with a swimsuit that resembles it so well.</p>
<p>Christina chose fuchsia in this stunning Alberta Ferretti chiffon halter top dress, but we can show you a <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/fuchsia-swimsuit.html">fuchsia swimsuit</a> that has nothing to envy this red carpet look.</p>
<div id="attachment_4987" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 177px"><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/madrid-bia-logo-bikini.html"><img class="size-full wp-image-4987" src="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Untitled-1.jpg" alt="" width="167" height="250" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Madrid Bia Magenta Bikini by Vix Swimwear</p></div>
<p>The <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/madrid-bia-logo-bikini.html">Madrid Bia Magenta</a> Halter Top Bikini by <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/vix-swimwear.html">Vix Swimwear</a> is elegant in every way. It provides a great <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/halter-swimsuits.html">halter top</a> design with beautiful gold hardware details that only add to its elegance. These <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/gold-hardware-swimwear.html">gold hardware</a> details can be adjusted to show the logo or just the name on the opposite side. They also slide up and down on the strap for more halter top coverage. The bottom has mirroring gold hardware details that can be adjusted to your convenience, making this a <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/convertible-swimsuit.html">convertible swimsuit</a> and versatile for any body type.</p>
<div id="attachment_4990" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 177px"><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/madrid-bia-logo-bikini.html"><img class="size-full wp-image-4990" src="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Untitled-2.jpg" alt="" width="167" height="250" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Madrid Bia Magenta Bikini by Vix Swimwear</p></div>
<p>Fuchsia is a bold color statement and this swimsuit proves that elegance from the red carpet can be taken to the beach, any day.</p>

<p>Soooo, lately the fashion industry has gone mad about plaid. In the past two years, we’ve seen celebrity after celebrity donning the boho plaid trend. And <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/plaid-swimwear.html">plaid bikinis</a> serve the same purpose: to give a chic look the “not trying to hard” finish.</p>
<p><strong>Here’s how you turn a typical checkered look into a glamorous one: add a little color.</strong> It seems starlets like Kate Bosworth (pictured left) definitely agree!</p>
<div id="attachment_4819" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 177px"><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/daiquiri-bikini.html"><img class="size-full wp-image-4819 " src="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Main_Small.jpg" alt="" width="167" height="250" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Daiquiri Bikini by Salinas</p></div>
<p>Reminiscent of the days of the <em>Breakfast Club</em>, plaid used to be a kind of middle-of-the-road print used typically in a more functional way, but nowadays, function has taken a back seat to fashionable! The newest arrival to our <strong><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/">women’s swimwear boutique</a></strong> comes from the famous brazilian brand <a href="../../salinas-swimwear.html">Salinas Swimwear</a>. For 2011, Salinas introduces a storyline that mixes stripes and mesh to create an original effect (hence the name, Daiquiri, after a &#8216;mixed&#8217; drink). The <a href="../../daiquiri-bikini.html">Daiquiri</a> suit is a <a href="../../string-bikini-bottoms.html">string bikini</a> style that adds a little kick to an ordinary plaid trend. A layer of mesh, sewn perpendicular to the spandex striped fabric, creates a nuovo glam look worth writing about.</p>
<p>The best part? This bikini adds another level of sexy with its daring <a href="../../brazilian-cut-bikini.html">Brazilian cut</a> rear and gold hardware detailing at straps.</p>

<p>Even though winter is fast approaching and we do love mittens, hot cocoa, and the occasional snow flurry, we are truly warm weather admirers at heart. This year, we&#8217;ve decided to bring our own slice of springtime cheer a little bit early with brand-new <strong><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/">swimsuits</a></strong> from <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/sofia-by-vix-swimwear.html">Sofia by ViX</a>. This up-and-coming new brand is the latest project by <strong>Paula Hermanny</strong>, the designer behind <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/vix-swimwear.html">ViX Swimwear</a>, and showcases fun and playful prints.</p>
<div id="attachment_4768" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 177px"><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/garden-reversible.html"><img class="size-full wp-image-4768" src="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Garden-Reversible.jpg" alt="" width="167" height="250" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Garden Reversible by Sofia by ViX</p></div>
<p>One of the styles we adore from this collection is the <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/sofia-by-vix-swimwear.html">Amber Bandeau and Skirty</a>. Classic black and ivory serve as the perfect backdrop for an explosion of multi-color floral print that definitely reminds us of a warm spring day. This suit features a <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/bandeau-swimsuit.html">bandeau top</a> style with convertible ties that can be worn as a halter or tied at the bust for a strapless look. The bottom is a girly skirted style with a ruffle at the waist.</p>
<div id="attachment_4771" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 177px"><a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/garden-reversible.html"><img class="size-full wp-image-4771" src="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Garden-reversible-back.jpg" alt="" width="167" height="250" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Garden Reversible by Sofia by ViX</p></div>
<p>Another style that we love from this new line is the <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/garden-reversible.html">Garden Reversible Bikini</a>. This two-piece swimsuit has a <a href="http://www.theorchidboutique.com/reversible-swimsuit.html">reversible</a> top that gives you two looks in one! The halter top reverses to a black and white check pattern and also features enamel ring details on both straps. The bottom has matching enamel rings and ties at both hips. This suit is a great reminder of the perfect spring garden blooming full of roses!</p>
<p>So even when the winter months are looming, we can at least escape to a warmer season with these colorful floral prints!</p>
