With warm weather comes days at the beach, poolside lounging and of course swim suits!

I love this one shouldered, black top with dispensing gold. I am also really loving the stripes on the right suit (Going to be a big hit for Summer 2011).

Model and Actress, Maria Helena Vianna is ethereal in this triangle top bikini with vertical stripes! Also, this particular top is reversible so you can wear your on trend stripes or go with a basic yet sophisticated black!

This suit (on the left) is fully reversible – both the top and bottom can go from stripes to black. Notice the beautiful, braided detailing on the bottoms of the right suit – I am a HUGE fan of details such as this!

Adding some bright pops of color and some fun (yet still sophisticated) patterns, these suits are Social Vixen faves! The suit on the left has a reversible, pink, bottom for mixing and matching. The Bandeau on the right is fully padded and has a matching bottom with side detailing.

If I had to choose only 1 piece from this collection (which would be very hard to do!), it would be this Liberty Chic, Regatta dress! The lightweight, sheer fabric is a seasonal must have! The sexy dress on the right also features lightweight, sheer material with an asymmetrical design and low cut back – LOVE!
