Lannon Quarry & Designer Suits

'Twas ('twas? really, Glenda?) a rough weekend to fall back on, so a fun jour like today was well deserved. Bikini-clad and ready to swim, me and two of my dear friends hopped into the car and drove to Lannon Quarry, Wisconsin... The beach is nice; of the utmost quality. So needless to say, I was pretty excited. The water was clear and blue (for the most part) and the area was pretty secluded. The amount of people in this picture is no where near the amount of people there today. I'm pretty sure it was just us, an OG Italian family and two teenage lovebirds with cancer sticks in their hands. GRRRREAT~ Anyways, epic pictures were taken and hilarity ensued. It was a nice day. However, this blog is supposed to entail stories of my fashion hauls, heroes and favorites. I will somehow segway and connect the two. Uh... :l Ha ha. As I looked along the sand, there was no one truly 'fashionable'. The swim suits were lacking in style and/or originality and the cover-ups weren't any better. What must one expect at a Wisconsin beach, though? We weren't exactly in the Hamptons. :/ Here are some cute alternative cover ups from Gottex - shwanky, I must shay. :) I'm ridiculous, I know. The first is a pink tunic, to your right. It's light, and ethereal, spun with Italian silk. I love how delicate the material is, extremely airy and weightless. Tres chic with gold sandals and oversize Chanel sunglasses, oui? Yaaah, bish. The next is swirly, with ombre type patterns of blues, turquoises, whites and navies. Is that a word? Can you make navy plural? Ha, I do not know. Anyway, it's beautiful. :) Brushing the ankles and tieing just below the chest, it is again lightweight and goddess-like. Cosabella has wonderful swim suits also. I l-o-v-e them. Wow, I'm super retarded in this blog...I sound like an infomercial salesman. That's neither here nor there though. Ahh, as I was saying, one swim suit is a faux leopard print (obv.) bandeau top bikini. The top ties at the neck in halter fashion while the bottom is a miniature version of the boy short. Below is the bikini:
For lack of better words, I love it. & I can completely see myself wearing it. The price tag, however, is what really makes me happy. For a designer that is respected, one would expect this suit to be a couple hundred dollars. Nope! Only $106.00. But hold your horses, ladies and gentlemen, because the bandeau bathing suit is on sale - for nearly half the price. I can't believe you'd only pay $52.90. SO AMAZING.
