Swimwear Trend: One Piece

One of the trends I noticed for this season is the return of the one piece swimsuits. They don’t have the obvious sensual look of a bikini, but they have that sexy look all on its own.
Since Old Navy is currently having a sale, I went ahead and browsed through their swimwear selection and found […]

A ROXY Outfit

I reckon it’s quite obvious that twas worn on the beach, yea? ROXY is known for their swimwear — bikinis and board shorts to name a few. To date, my favourtie pair of bikinis is my ROXY bikini in chocolate brown. And since my brother gave me a ROXY board short, I was quite excited […]

Old Navy Swimwear, Ethnic Prints

It’s getting close to March and in my country this means beach season is just around the corner, hence, it’s time to shop for some swimwear. This is probably why I noticed the options that Old Navy is currently offering — ethnic prints! Prices aren’t that bad. All I need to know now is if […]

Sasha’s (Other) Roxy Bikini

Photos by Yuga
Before the Roxy Bikini I own that first featured here at Tops 2 Bottoms last March, there’s this Roxy Bikini. :mrgreen:
I bought last June 2005 for my trip to Palawan (Philippines) to attend my friend’s wedding and, of course, to enjoy the pristine, powder white, un-commercialised beaches, which is why I bought […]

Shop Find: Soak Swimwear

Finding the website of Soak Swimwear is a real treat. Not only it added dimension to the local beach fashion, it paves a way for Philippine eCommerce and beach fashion to flourish. Yes, my dear fashionistas, if you’re Manila-based (or Philippine-based for that matter), this online shop is for you.
Summer is in full swing in […]

Sasha’s Roxy Bikini

Photos by Yuga
It’s a one year and a few month-old bikini. I bought it back in 2005 in a local surf/beach wear shop (gawd. I forget the name of the shop!) in Rundle Mall in Adelaide. One of the things I knew I had to buy before I head back home (I was heading back […]

Last Hurrah On Swimwear, Part Deux

Sorry.
Can’t help it. I had to. I’m a beach-whore that’s why it’s only normal for me to shop for beachwear, right? Hahaha.
I think this number from Tommy Bahama is note-worthy. It’s a Convertible Maillot and Pareo. Maillot is a swimsuit with a tank-style torso with high-cut legs and a Pareo is just another term […]

Last Hurrah On Swimwear

I know that summer is ending soon but I just can’t NOT feature this utterly cute bikini, Beach Terry Shirred Bandeau Bikini, from Juicy Couture that I found at Bloomingdale.com!
White is a weakness of mine. I can’t help but love anything white plus it’s a bikini. Hahaha.
This feeds my excitement on my upcoming trip to […]

T2B A-List: Nautica’s Cool, Clean Look

I know it’s a bit silly thinking of the beach when it’s been constantly raining here. But I miss the beach. I wish I can be there right now and let the waves soothe away the stress in my bones.
/sighs
So, I’m limited to shopping — window shopping — ONLINE! Heh. Pathetic, eh? I really […]
