On my recent visit to small town America, I had the pleasure of staying under five minutes away from a Walmart. As a New Yorker living in one of the five boroughs, this is unheard of (except Queens). There is is Walmart at the Green Acres Mall in Queens, NY. Needless to say, I visited everyday, with my mother (who is more obsessed with Walmart than I am) in tow.
It is almost the end of summer so it is a perfect time to snatch up swimsuits and coverups on sale. I managed to score some real classic pieces for under $20 per piece.
I purchased two swimsuits and swim coverup pictured below, all by Walmart’s “Time and Tru” Line. The pieces fit well and the fabric holds up well in the water. I’ll definitely be sporting these pieces next summer as well.
Miami Swim Week happened and the city is the perfect backdrop for bikini-clad models to show us hot bodies and hot suits on the runway. We still have a few good weeks of summer left and you may be able to still rock some of these swanky suits that were just featured on the runway in MIA. Let’s take a look at two designers who sent some hot suits down the runway during Swim Week:
G Saints Swimwear
Designers/Owners: Tracey Saintil & Edlyne Garçon
GSaints Swimwear was launched in July of 2011 by Tracey and Edlyne. It is a sexy yet fun line and made for women who are not afraid to be daring and comfortable in their skin. These looks are from their “Polynesian Princess” collection which debuted in Spring/Summer 2015.

Altricia is a Florida A&M University graduate whose idea to design swimwear came from her need for great swimwear. She was searching for a chic swimsuit that she could wear on a trip to San Juan, Puerto Rico in 2013 that would hide her post-baby stomach imperfections while still feeling sexy. The search was arduous and she came up with nothing that flattered her body and made her feel sexy so she decided to make her own. The rest is swim history.
