Fierce Spring Cleaning


We took a glance at our closets, full of bulky sweaters and that unflattering parka we all have, and SHOCKER – our wardrobe needed a serious Lysol-serious spring cleaning.  With our orders already placed for SwimSpot bikinis, we felt a mini-shopping spree was in order, and pronto, for the weather is turning warmer and the days are getting longer. Follow our lead. Invest in the essential key pieces we mention below, and you too will romp around in the perfect, care-free, and on-trend looks all the celebs are sporting on TMZ. Low on cash? Try de-cluttering your closet and you’ll find clothes you forgot you had. The items that definitely won’t work (those that really haven’t since ’92), go ahead and box them up and visit a local second hand store. Make some cash and go splurge on the latest spring fashion trends today!

Trench Coat
Our winter parka had a good run but it’s time for a new look. The latest trend hitting the runways is the trench coat. They’re easy to dress up and dress down and come in a variety of colors. Our favorite color: olive green. Pair it with some worn-out light-colored jeans and gladiator sandals to transform into a casual bombshell in no time. Another way to mix up the look is by purchasing a cropped version of the trench coat! Super chic, but don’t expect to fend off that always annoying spring drizzle.

Accessorize
Shocker – accessorizing is a must this spring. From jewels to flips to totes fight for the right to capture a wondering eye or two. Scared of the vivid Rainbow Brite colors? Try using pastels like a pale yellow or lilac purple to create slight contrast with your outfit. Go and fetch the perfect on-trend sunglasses to go along with the new SwimSpot bikini you’ve just ordered – (YOU DID, RIGHT?)! Gotta look good soakin’ up the sun!

Patterned Skirt/Floral Dress
Liven up your wardrobe with the colors and patterns of spring. Patterned skirts and floral dresses are going to be seen in the trendiest of locales. The floral dress offers an eye-popping and vibrant effect that will upgrade any girl’s style. When choosing the right pattern, go with what you feel comfortable in. Have fun, spread your style wings, but always select something that will not only make you stand out, but also help you walk with a greater air of confidence. A tepid approach will feature blended print and base colors in the top or dress. A style that is a little more edgy and outspoken will match contrasting tones. Want to step out with fun prints with a classic touch? The patterned skirt is your best bet. Wear a flowing, solid-colored top with a patterned pencil skirt and voila! – classic meets fun! If you find that you love wearing floral dresses and skirts, you might want to try ella moss womens swimsuits--lots of patterns to be had there!

Lace Blouse
Simple meets sexy – the lace blouse this spring. Lacy lace can always be counted on for a chic and sheer look. It offers enough coverage with a sneak peak of sexy skin. For a stealthily sexy (demure if need to know) look, pair the lace blouse with a mini skirt. For an even more toned down look, pair it with a high-waist tulip skirt. Now have some fun, play with your color choice, try a colorful Next by Athena swimwear top underneath for a pop of color. Light colored lace blouses, like cream or lilac, can give you an angelic and bright look. Dark colored lace blouses, like navy or black, showcase an elegant and modern look.

Ok, now we’ve shared with you some of spring’s trendiest trends. Have fun picking out your faves and brighten up that killer look you are showing off this spring. Out with the old, in with the fierce!

  • Look Good, Feel GoodFall is finally here! Time to dig up those scarves, boots, and cardigans buried deep inside your closet. In terms of fashion, this is definitely my favorite time of year – I especially love the bold pops of color that are trending this season. And of course, the layers! But unfortunately, being bundled up in sweaters and coats doesn’t quite give me the motivation to work out. I won’t be sporting a bikini any time soon anyways so what’s the point, right? Wrong! We’re all aiming for that perfect beach body once Spring rolls along, so why not start working for it now? Getting toned and fit is a gradual process—although I’m sure we all wish it would happen overnight. Swimsuit season will be coming around the corner before you know it, so save yourself from the intense dieting and exercise the week before spring break and start now!
