Now feel free to sport these in Teahupoo, Tahiti, or the Great Barrier Reef down under, just be sure to pile on the sunscreen and be bikini line ready - you never know what a wipe out will expose!

Wet n' Wild: Pin Up Girls

These pin up girl inspired suits would be perfect poolside in Miami or beachside in a Blue Hawaii! How cute would they be paired with a wide-brim straw hat and oversized shades? So very Marilyn Monroe. These flirty suits are also a good option for curvier gals since they provide more coverage and their roots are in a sultry, womanly body silhouette - the glorious pin up gals of yore!

Wet n' Wild: Exotica

Want to look bodacious in Bali or Bora Bora? Somewhere exotic with pristine beaches and little umbrella adorned cocktails would be my pick to accompany these exotica suits. While I envision these worn with a deep, sultry tan, they are built-in sexy with their tropical prints all you need is a male model at your side and you're good to go! Go jump from a waterfall that is! Go on, get wet n' wild.

Wet n' Wild: Cut-Out One Pieces

FabSugar — Tue, 08 May 2007 13:55:11 -0700

For these I want you to envision yourself poolside in Palm Springs or the Hamptons - somewhere cool, calm and collected - not so much wet n' wild as Rio!. I have really come to appreciate cut-out one pieces over the years. Yes, they may create some of the funkiest tan lines but they are so Bond girl! Also, they are nice tummy hiders! I have a DKNY one that is neon green one shoulder with a side cut out & it really stands out amongst the crowd. I prefer these Bond girl suits in graphic prints or solids - let the peekaboo skin speak for itself.

Wet n' Wild: Metallic Bikinis

FabSugar — Mon, 07 May 2007 16:20:22 -0700

Think Rio or Miami - somewhere sizzling hot and oozing with sex appeal - when wearing one of these metallic bikinis. They may be too risque for some, but these glistening suits are sure to grab serious attention when worn at the beach and beyond. It's no surprise metallics spilled into swim wear...so my question is: do you dare? And, there is still some time to get your bod in gear for bikini season, but you could always go to bikini boot camp!

New York Fashion Week, Spring 2009: Alexander Wang

FabSugar — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 15:13:10 -0700

Julia, check. Erin, check. Anna, check. Do you need last names? Wang is quickly climbing up the fashion food chain so his Spring show was sure to be a frenzied event - that it was. And how fitting that the runway and models were liquified, since Hurricane Hanna did its own wet work on the audience. Thanks to some buddies over at Page Six Magazine and their town car, I was moderately soaked. But Wang was wet n' wild.

With Miami Vice as inspiration, there were cool deco hues amidst the designer's favorite black. The collection kicked off with oversized tanks, leather (and suede) and du-rags, but soon colors emerged creating a lovingly tough aesthetic. Wang continues to deconstruct tee shirts, dresses and tee shirt dresses, thus draped and looped cotton basics were a plenty. But Wang also played with sweat pants - creating legging like layers - and jackets - from poppy blazers to loose cardigans. Some denim pieces were also Wangified; I was particularly drawn to a chain handle jean bag. And of course, Wang sent his new shoes down the slick runway, elevating the models, and the clothes, to first name status.

Come Fab Finding With Me: Ballgame Hottie

FabSugar — Mon, 07 May 2007 11:20:22 -0700

Now you should all know by now I am not a jock. Not even in the least. If given the option to attend a pool party or ball game on a sunny Sunday, bring on the wet n' wild fun! Nonetheless, I happen to have two brothers who are huge baseball fans and sometimes family bonding overrides pool time. I will start you off with this Adidas Base Digital Watch, $55, because if I had to choose a team to root for it would be the Oakland A's & this green watch not-so-subtly shows some team spirit.

Let's all go Fab Finding for a ballgame hottie outfit. I really want to avoid anything too typical jeans and tank top - I want to show people that you can be both a jock and fashionable. Come back and tell me when your Fab Finds are up and tag them with ballgame hottie.
