Bikinis are like statistics: what they reveal is suggestive, but they conceal is vital

Summertime fine, well friends it is finally upon us here in the norther hemisphere. Summer is without a doubt the most looked forward to of the seasons. Most of the time it's associated with freedom, fun trips and the 4th of July. In New York, it's getting hot -- I hope you're all ready because this one's going to be a scorcher..

Originally from California, I admit bias in this statement: I am a firm believer that CA swimwear brands really do it best. #InThereLikeSwimwear. One I am presently obsessed with is Cali-Dreaming. As a self proclaimed bikini hoarder, the problem I often experience is that most styles are more of the same year after year. Same silhouette, same story, same everything #boringAF. Cali-Dreaming is changing the game..

However, they aren't the only ones with a dope bikini hustle this summer. Another company worth scoping is AdoreMe.com. Starting as a lingerie brand (check it out here: AdoreMe Lingerie,) think Victoria's Secret but actually a secret and provenly more accepting of all body types. I'm a firm believer that beauty is not an age, a number, a face or a size. For someone in fashion I know it's radical for me to say: I think that beauty has nothing to do with what you look like and everything to do with what's in your heart. Companies such as AdoreMe are really paving the way for accepting all kinds of beauty -- not just the size 2 tall blonde white girl. Want to support something different? Give them a try. The price is also wildly affordable considering how pricey two pieces of cloth are becoming these days ;)

What are your plans for the summer? Vacations? Self improvement ventures? Summer love? Be sure to start looking for summer love soon.. Not just the weekends! Weekdays too :-) Make it count.. I know I will..
