SwimSpot Stay-cation!


Need to escape the winter chill? Dreaming of a white (sandy beach) Christmas? We are too! If you are having trouble getting to paradise, take a “Stay-cation” – in the comfort of your very own home.

STAYCATION SCENE

It’s time to transform your living space into a beachside bungalow.

  • Crank up the heat so it’s “96 degrees in the shade”
  • Turn up the sound machine and listen to the ocean waves break in your living room
  • Play up paradise with the perfect playlist from Pandora – jam with the Ziggy Marley and the Beach Boys 
     

STAYCATION LOOK

Strip the sweats, socks and scarf and slip into something more fun for the sun like a cute bikini

  • Channel Carrie Underwood in the Bahamas with the sweet and casual Rainbow Stripe Halter and Rainbow Strip String from Splendid
  • Catch a wave in Hawaii wearing Hurley's Forgive & Forget Halter and Deluxe Hipster (using the SwimSpot Bikini Builder)
  • Party with Miley Cyrus in Miami in the Abstract Jungle Tri Bra and Roca Loca Tunnel Pant by Reef (using SwimSpot Bikini Builder)
  • Jet-set to Bali in LUXE by Lisa Vogel's The Hermitage Triangle Bra and The Hermitage Retro Pant 
     

STAYCATION ITENARY

  • Blend, shake or stir your favorite tropical drinks
  • Have a “beachside BBQ” (using your George Foreman grill)
  • Heat the hot tub (or if you don’t have a hot tub take a hot bath)
  • Read the weeklies and catch up on your celebrity gossip 
     

Make sure you apply sunless tanner, take lots of snapshots and send postcards to all of your friends.

We wish you were here! Smile

  • Athena’s 2012 Collection Suits Your StyleAs we fly into 2012, Athena has an amazing new collection. It includes updates from the 2011 Maldives Collection. With Slim-Power lining and shirring details, Athena’s new collection gives you the right amount of tummy control and will help cover up all those imperfections for those days at the beach. You will be seeing a lot of cute tankinis, slimming one pieces, and stylish bikinis all year long from our collection.
  • 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!
  • Feelin' Nautical?Feelin' nautical? Hit the deck with Nautica's Classic Solids Underwire One Piece Bathing Suit! This slimming one piece suit sports an underwire feature to provide optimal support, comfort, and fit. The white straps create a great contrast against the navy and the sweetheart neckline sets an irresistible modern twist on this maillot. To cover up, try Nautica's Under the Sea Tunic. The white and navy stripe print of the tunic perfectly compliments the solid suit, creating a chic sailor look.
