Lindsay Lohan celebrated her birthday in a red Hervé Léger bandage bikini.

But, when it comes to a 4th of July beach or poolside bash, why not go a bit more festive?

The reigning king of classic American cool, Tommy Hilfiger, has the perfect swimwear for your Independence Day soirée: This red, white and blue Sixties-inspired bikini in a playfully-chic, peace sign print (right).

The adjustable drawstring two piece is available on the Tommy Hilfiger Website for $43.

And really, shouldn't every celebration be about peace, love and style?

New York Fashion Week: Herve Leger swimwear

Filed under: Fashion Week

Herve Leger, cult maker of those impossible-to-walk-in bandage dresses, unveiled its Spring '09 collection at fashion week on Sunday.

Designed by Max Azria, who acquired the company in 1999, the collection was everything you might expect from a brand name that's synonymous with sex appeal.

This year, some of the standout pieces were the slashed-up swimsuits, in shades of rose, black and electric tangerine.

If these suits work the same wonders as Leger's minidresses, we expect sales to go swimmingly.



Naomi makes out with lizard for SoBe Lifewater

Filed under: Style in the News, Celebrities with Style


Sure, she has her faults just like everybody else, but we love Naomi Campbell. We especially love watching her hot body in a swimsuit. But as we watched Tuesday night's All-Star Game, this annoying yet remarkable commercial kept appearing that somehow managed to show Naomi in a swimsuit and then totally turn us off to SoBe Life Water forever in the same 30 seconds. Congratulations, that's not an easy to do.

Filed under: Clothing, Swimwear and Lingerie, Style Tip of the Day


What should you wear on your walk to the beach? Certainly not just your swimsuit and nothing else! *shock, gasp, horror* You need something more elaborate than that, something to cover up your nearly naked body until you arrive on the sand where it is acceptable. A "cover up" perhaps? Bingo!

Click for the seasons best cover-ups.

Tip of the day: Suit up part 4, Tall

Filed under: Clothing, Swimwear and Lingerie, Style Tip of the Day


Oh those lanky, leggy girls who can wear just about anything. Yes, that means the lucky few like Whitney Port, Blake Lively, Paris Hilton, and the fierce (and seriously scary) Naomi Campbell.

We dedicate the last "Suit up" installment to those long ladies that we secretly despise for their limby... uh... ness.

Filed under: Accessories, Clothing, Swimwear and Lingerie, Must Haves


Does the idea of strutting your stuff in a string bikini make you cringe? Some women get so concerned about wearing a bathing suit in public that they forget about the one item that should be at the top of their shopping lists for beach season -- a cute cover-up.

If you've got some extra bulges to hide, or just want to be modest, don't settle for an old tee and a pair of gym shorts -- treat yourself to a swimsuit cover-up that you truly love.

Learn to love bathing suit season

Filed under: Clothing, Swimwear and Lingerie

Not everyone loves wearing a swimsuit -- even if you feel completely confident strutting your stuff in a sexy dress, you might be a little more self-conscious in a skimpy bikini.

The thing is, when many of us think of one piece bathing suits, we think of what our grandmothers wore to the beach, complete with big flowers and flouncy skirts, but that doesn't have to be the case. There are plenty of one pieces designed to flatter your figure, provide coverage, and make you look super sleek and sexy.

Flatter Your Figure: Swimsuits for wide shoulders

Filed under: Clothing, Swimwear and Lingerie, Flatter Your Figure


Some girls are born with a delicate, slight build. Others go through life with shoulders like a linebacker. And, while broad shoulders can make shopping for tops, dresses, jackets, and bathing suits a little more frustrating, we want to take a moment to point out that strong shoulders are sexy. So, the first thing you need to do with those broad shoulders is hold them up and back. Good posture, regardless of figure flaws, is always flattering.

Now that you know that, we can discuss specific bathing suit styles. Take a look through the gallery for suggestions of what to look for and, just as importantly, what to avoid. Happy shopping!

Cameron Diaz flaunts it on GQ cover

Filed under: Style in the News, Men, Celebrities with Style

Airbrushed? Probably. Ultra sexy? Without a doubt. Kudos to GQ for a much needed Cameron Diaz swimsuit cover. The 35 year old actress is featured in the 2008 Hollywood Special issue, chatting with GQ about being single, boy-crazy, and her ass -- too bad it's in the UK edition.

Of course, we can't complain about the Adriana Lima cover here in the US. Maybe next month Cameron? One for the home team?

Filed under: Celebrities with Style


Can you believe it?!? Britney Spears is going to do a fashion line. Who in the world would give this train wreck her own line?

We really don't understand this -- even when she was sane she wasn't a great dresser. Let's not even talk about recent wardrobe mishaps!
