With summer being over, I just couldn’t help the thought that THIS might actually be the smartest time to buy a new bathing suit. Just think about it – you still have your out of town weekends, possible business trips to places where they actually have pools and possible trip to some islands closer to Christmas time. Plus, you always have the next summer.  So, why not to play it smart and get that designer bikini with no hurry and pressure and at a sweet reduced price one can actually afford?

Here are the 12 swimwear pieces I’ve been eyeing lately. I am considering getting that flirty Ondademar two piece number (#2).  And you, which of these you like best?

12. Frillikini by Pistol Panties

Price: £125.00 at PistolPanties.com

This is one of those itty bitty bikinis that you cannot turn down. If you would like to be the spotlight of the day, then this would definitely be the right choice. It fits comfortable and we are sure any girl would love to wear it.

11. Betty by Pistol Panties

Price: £159.00 at PistolPanties.com

If you enjoy wearing cute little poka dots, then this would definitely be your top choice. This one is not as revealing as the Frillikini, so for those girls that would like to have a little extra coverage, this would be the top choice. It has a unique shorts style that we know you will enjoy.

10. Calvin Klein Halter bead-embellished swimsuit

Price: $120.00 at Net-a-Porter.com

I know you want to look hot. Come on, every girl desires to look hot in their swimwear and that is why I pointed you towards this one. Calvin Klein really does seem to know what they are making when it comes to this one. For those of you that would like some waterside glamour, this is definitely a match.

9. Calvin Klein Push up swimsuit

Price: $120.00 at Net-a-Porter.com

This push up swimsuit really is something to be proud of. For all of you bathing belles, Calvin Klein really knows what you want. Add some bangles on your arm, maybe even a cowboy hat and some sandals and you will be on your way to the water. I like this suit, not because it’s made by Calvin Klein, but how good it looks.

8. Diane von Furstenberg Ring halter neck bikini

Price: $190.00 at Net-a-Porter.com

If you are the type of girl next door that likes to stand out, then this swimsuit will definitely do the deed for you. When you finish it off with some colorful accessories, you will be sure to turn heads…I know I sure did.
