This Spring, we’re seeing a combination of throwback prints and high-waisted, boy short bottoms that provide more coverage than the bi-coastal cut, " classic sexy" string bottom . Sporting the more comfortable vintage look and adopting the “less is best style”, for those who can pull it off, the more modest vintage look may be just as sexy.

 

Mix and Match and find that perfect fit by buying separates like the Vitamin A Gold Retro Skirted and high waisted bottom. This High Style A ruched skirt and an internal power mesh panel act like an invisible tummy tuck. Pair this flattering bottom with a full halter top that ties around the neck and back for  a vintage feel. Voila - Perfect pinup girl style!

 

Princess by Eco Swim at Canyon BeachwearIf your looking for a timeless vintage  one piece, the Princess by Eco Swim is one of your best options. This swimsuit is classic Marilyn Monroe. This one piece features a sweetheart neckline and wide over the shoulder straps to give added support. It also comes with a high back and provides full coverage.

The small polka dots give this suit a vintage feel!  An added feature for the eco friendly, made by sustainable methods and recycled products. Without a doubt the polka dot is one of the retro prints par excellence that never  go out of fashion.

Just in time for the Summer rush and before the best swimsuits have all been shopped, we’re offering our clients a Spring Break Buying Guide.

Canyon Beachwear Designer Swimwear and Beachwear

The key to the Canyon beachwear experience that keeps our clients coming back year after year, is our expertise at fitting beachwear and swimwear to suit every body. Our reputation as being one of “The Best Bathing Suit Boutiques In Los Angeles” is, not only because of our fabulous selection of designer swimwear, no doubt, but also our focus on premium customer service. One excellent example is the ability for client’s to have a private appointment with one of our swimwear fit specialists at any one of our 7 locations.

Keeping our clients looking fabulous and sizzling hot season after summer season gives us great pleasure. We understand that private appointments and shopping for your swimsuit may not be on your favorite things to do list, so we’ve assembled a “Buying Guide” for the more introverted shopper. Each week this month we'll be sending out emails for our "Spring Break Buying Guide" campaign. We'll be focusing on bikini's first, then one-piece suits and then cover-ups. We’ll include great tips for different body types/features and offer our recommendations for a best style fit.  

Tips for the Busty:  Love Underwire. Your ally in support and shape. Seek Full Coverage. So your secure on all fronts.

What to Avoid: Embellishments just draw attention. Thin straps or a bandeau won't support you.
We recommend: Natori Full Coverage Over the Shoulder Top and Natori Full Coverage Bottom.

So, go ahead and book your appointment at one of our 7 stores for one of our fit specialists, and be sure your on our mailing list to receive our weekly tip from Canyon Beachwear's Spring Break Buying Guide.

Canyon Beachwear's Hot Seller List

Wednesday, March 7, 2012

Vitamin A Gold SoHo Cheveron MaillotVitamin A Gold has been a designer on our “Hot Sellers” list since the swimwear collection first arrived at Canyon Beachwear in 2011. Best known for its sexy and sophisticated look, Vitamin A Gold swimwear has a fun and flirtatious side.   This fun and flirty side was recently caught on camera when sultry songstress Rihanna made a sexy statement while catching rays wearing a Vitamin A® by Amahlia Stevens. This trend setting celeb made a splash during her Hawaiian holiday in the sexy yet functional Crème Le Chic Keyhole String Halter Top  and the Le Chic Keyhole Tie Side Bottom from Vitamin A's Sleek & Chic Eco Group.

For the second year in a row, designer Amahlia Stevens is grabbing the attention of eco-chicks and giving her existing cult-like following more reasons to obsess over Vitamin A swimwear: the enviro-friendly Sleek and Chic collection. This new incarnation of "green bikinis" uses Repreve fiber, which is made of would-be waste diverted from landfills, and takes less energy and fewer resources to create. This year the Sleek and Chic collection is upping the sexy even more with rich earth tones like smoke, creme, cayenne, and eco black in luxe matte jersey Repreve fabric, famous for its minimal footprint.

Other show stoppers from the Vitamin A 2012 Collection include the Uber-Sexy Monokini swimsuit designed with luxurious lattice detail. This ultra sexy monokini has shirring down the center back of the California cut bottom. For the less adventurous, throw on a Vitamin A Gold cover-up before daring out pool side. Choose from a Crochet Paradise Plunge Tunic or this Diamond Crochet plunge tunic. Pair up your swimwear separates and do your own thing with a Vitamin A Gold New Celebrity String Bottom: The bottom loved by both stylists and celebs is now available in a bi-coastal cut! This" classic-with-a-twist" string bottom offers amazing design details like shirred shaping down the center back, adjustable spaghetti ties at hips, and, of course, the brand's signature matte gold rings. Couple the sexy bikini bottom with a  top of your choice, and your sure to make your own splash.

Whether you’ve been hitting the gym and are body fit ready to rock a Vitamin A Gold Monokini bikini, or you need a few tips for the best fit, Canyon Beachwear suits every body. Your vacation begins here. Before heading out on your next tropical adventure, contact us to speak with one of our fit specialists. We’ll  find the swimsuit that gives you the wow factor this summer!
