Swim-Haute

Basic beach days are over!! 

One of our favorite summer trends of this year is mix-matched bathing suits. The best part about it is that following this trend won't cost you an arm and a leg. Solid color bathing suits are haute, and you can play with the different colors as many ways as you want (pink with purple, blue with green, etc.) 

But don't be afraid to be a little bold and throw some prints in there as well! A printed bottom with a solid top is totally on trend (on so many levels) and super fun for the beach or pool! Or if you're feeling your inner fashionista needing to make an appearance, mix two different prints! Detail is huge this season (on & off the beach.) While looking for prints also be on the lookout for haute crocheted or lace pieces. Matched with a print, you'll set that pool party all the way off! So chic, you'll have everyone's attention. 

Another trend we're excited for here at PinkIndigo is chic one-piece bathing suits! Not all women are comfortable showing their bellies off, and finally fashion is understanding. Stores like Forever21 have gotten in on the trend, and they offer cute pieces for not bad prices. Find one with a flattering cut, or with a fun print; you can be comfortable in your skin and still be fly! 

And here's a tip:

If you're like me and you still have allllllllllllllllll your bathing suits (I know I'm not the only one), this season only buy a couple of new pieces that you can easily mix-n-match with the ones you already own. Try a pair a solid black bottoms, or a solid black top, easy to match with any of your other pieces. You can even mix your previously owned pieces with one another. It's an inexpensive way to still be totally haute this summer.

Kelly, Oh!

Back in 2002 we were let into the lives of British rock royalty and introduced to a trouble, young, punk-rock princess, Kelly Osbourne. We all remember her as sort of scary (she wasn't the type of girl you felt comfortable approaching) but today she is absolutely stunning and serves on the panel of the infamous fashion police. She has become quite the little fashion queen herself these days (or should I say sergeant?) Kelly is one of the most successful stories in fashion!

But that's not all she's been up to! Kelly's been on Dancing With The Stars, written a book, done a bit of singing, became a designer, been on recovery from addiction, and shed 70 lbs along the way making her a total weight-loss inspiration! The girl is only 28 years old! Go, girl!  In this month's Cosmo (on stands now) Kelly tells all about where she is in her life now compared to where she once was. She also gushes over her boyfriend, chef Matthew Mosshart, who is also present during the interview. They're incredibly in love and we couldn't be happier for the young starlet. This is just the beginning for her! 

Some favorite looks of Kelly:

P.S. We die over her lavender hair! She's staying true to herself and staying incredibly chic all at the same time!
