Best winter vacation spots (and swimwear to match)

Bora Bora Island

Bora Bora Island

Wouldn’t it be nice to be a bird and migrate someplace warm for the winter? Some of you may do just that, or, if you’re lucky, you live in a city where you feel the warmth most of the year. (So jealous!) It may only be the start of November and not quite cold enough for wintertime, but it’s never too early to dream about how to wear your favorite swimsuit in the colder part of the year. Our first idea: Go somewhere warm!

To help out, we’ve put together a list of three special locales that are perfect this time of year and just the right swimwear options for each one:

Key Lime Pie by Agua Bendita

Key Lime Pie by Agua Bendita

1. Rio de Janeiro. The Southern hemisphere, especially sunny and beautiful Rio, is clearly a good option for all of us Northern hemisphere inhabitants as summertime is just around the corner there. Can you guess the swim style suggestion here? Brazilian of course! Take a bite out of Bendito Key Lime Pie by Agua Bendita Swimwear for this vacation. With trendy ruffles, floral print and the appropriate cut on bottom, you’ll fit right in.

2. Bora Bora. This French Polynesian hot-spot boasts some of the bluest oceans and most amazing beaches in the world. (Fun fact: Bora Bora was the filming location for the recent movie “Couples Retreat.”) For this island adventure, we recommend a funky, tropical look to blend in with the remarkable views. Try the Bardot Ruffles Bikini by Vix Swimwear 2010. The vibrant green and purple combination makes for a brilliant Bora Bora look.

3. Malibu. For you United States locals, you’ll never be disappointed with Southern California, particularly Malibu’s 20+ miles of coastline. The winter’s daytime temperatures average in the high 60s, so we say go for a relaxed style that covers a little more skin. How about the light and airy Pinkxanthium One-Piece Swimsuit by Maaji Swimwear’s 2010 line? Casual, cool and easy to wear, it’s California-ready.

Whichever your warm winter destination of choice, you definitely can’t go wrong in a great piece of designer swimwear. We’re visualizing the sunny skies, hearing the waves crashing in, and feeling our feet in the sand already!

Adrienne tends to lean more toward a boho chic style that doesn’t take a lot of thought. If weather permitted, she’d wear comfortable (and stylish!) dresses in every style on a daily basis.

  5. Ashleigh

    I think I drooled a little. Haha, I’ve been obsessed with the idea of never having to wear anything but a bikini ever since I was a little girl…you guys are making me want to move to the South Pacific!!!

    1. Darlin

      you should visit Punta Cana, its also a nice place to show off your body.. and Bikinis…
      D

      1. kennedy

        whats the beaches like there, and the atmosphere? never been there

        1. Alexa

          punta cana? where is that?

          1. kennedy

            sound like a great place i have heard of it before

          2. Alexa

            i’ve heard of it sure, but no idea where it is… somewhere in south america i think…

    2. Kennedy

      I am with you sun surf and sand what a life

      1. Alexa

        i’ve añready made up my mind!! (woth help from you guys!)… someday, i’m going to live on a beach, at least for a year! gotta try that lifestyle!

        1. Kennedy

          a beach bum, thats the best. wouldn’t it be nice to wake up the the sound of the water and take a stroll with you coffee down the white sandy beaches wow i am talking myself into this fast

          1. Alexa

            haha it’s not that hard! just lying on a hammock and reading the paper beachfront… no

    3. kennedy

      i would drool alot lol

      1. Alexa

        i’m drooling right now, all this talk about vacation spots makes me really want to get away!

  6. Alana

    Flirty florals are definitley in this year. Women need to be on the lookout for swimsuits that suit their shape that also looks amazing. You can’t look dowdy or drab in bora bora or malibu

    1. Kennedy

      Not one for the flowers

      1. Alexa

        haha i agree! online isn’t always the best way but i just can’t let go of these suits! so awesome

        1. kennedy

          i like to splurge evey now and then

          1. Alexa

            me too, but it’s hard with this economy… i love quality so i save for these

    2. kennedy

      to much florals this year to much

      1. Alexa

        i like it! some are over the top, but the mayority look great

  7. Renee

    bring it on i say ..give up your day job and be a happy little mermaid in the South Pacific!

    1. Kennedy

      I am all for vacations, and bring as many swim suits possible to pack

      1. Alexa

        i agree!! i think it should be done at least once in a lifetime…

        1. kennedy

          once yikes, more than once really

          1. Alexa

            i meant the whole “giving up your job, living on the beach” deal

  8. Ashleigh

    Hahaha, I just might do that! Well one day at least…just live on an exotic island and teach people how to freedive…ooooh weeee! Lol

    1. kennedy

      sounds like a dream job, in an great location

      1. Alexa

        wow now wouldn’t that be nice?! i’d love to do that, maybe not freediving but just lounging on a beach, adevntures once ina while… ahhh sounds dreamy

        1. kennedy

          take some sort of boat cruise or somethign to get the full potential out of the new suit

          1. Alexa

            i think with just living on the beach and wearing swimsuits everyday, you get the juice out of them! lol

  9. Joyce

    thanks for always send messages from new arivals

    1. kennedy

      that way we can keep up on things

      1. Alexa

        exactly! i wouldn’t want to miss out on these conversations, great topics!

        1. kennedy

          i don’t really care for that large bow on that bag

          1. Alexa

            it’s not a giant bow if you look closely

  10. Joyce

    bora bora …best place in the world…i just came from there..in my second honey moon

    1. Kennedy

      Never been there but wow it sure sound great

      1. Alexa

        wow! good for you! it looks amazing from the pictures

        1. kennedy

          to matchy matchy with the bag and the suit

          1. Alexa

            i love them both but separately

  11. Renee

        1. kennedy

          why not use them for uniform depend on your position

          1. Alexa

            well, when i’m living on the beach they wil be my uniform! lol

    2. kennedy

          1. Alexa

            that bag would look great with a solid suit

  29. Alexa

    haha no, it’s not a giant bow, it’s just like… two pieces of fabric tied together at the center, its not like portruding outwards! haha

    1. kennedy

      thats sound alot better, the bow thing ….no

      1. Alexa

        yeah, a bow’s a big no no in my book…

        1. kennedy

          way to big out of this world big

          1. Alexa

            yeah, if that really was a bow it would’ve ruined the bag completely

  30. Ashleigh

    Oh good, cuz that was a scary thought.

    1. kennedy

      ya, to much bow can be a bad thing

      1. Alexa

        i think it would;ve ruined the bag for me… if it was a bow…

  31. Alexa

    yeah! actually when a read your post and looked at it in the small picture i was dissapointed! but then i took a closer look and loved it all over again!

    1. kennedy

      it kind of grows on you doesn’t it

      1. Alexa

        yeah and more so because you realize it really isn’t a giant bow, and it’s actually a pretty nice detail on it

        1. kennedy

          not really i don’t care for it

          1. Alexa

            i think it adds a nice detail to it, a little extra oomph

  32. BeBe

    you could fit in your lunch in that thing… huge!!!

    1. kennedy

      just need the one bag to head to the perfect bag, nice access.

    Rio de Janeiro thats where i would like to go and take with me Key Lime Pie by Agua Bendita
    That sounds like a vacation anyone in??
    This vacation blog is a hot topic, lots of comments on this page it sound like everyone is in need of a vacation (I am thinking they should make the average qork week 4 days of work and 3 days off) less stress that way more vacation time
