Bodacious Bettinis Bikinis

Darlings, CC is so excited to introduce you to Bettinis Bikinis, a gorgeous line of swimwear!

Here's a bit about the line in the Designer's own words:"The idea for Bettinis came to me through a series of dream like events that have shaped and inspired my own life. Growing up I spent my summers on the beaches of North Carolina and ever since have been drawn to the beauty of the ocean, waves, sand, seashells, dolphins, and sandcastles. That inspiration brought me to my home today - Hermosa Beach, California. While having fun with friends, talking of my idea to design a small bikini, a slight twist on words happened between my name, Bettina, and the word bikini- and Bettinis was born! Fun, feminine, and flirty is the way I feel when I wear some of my favorite styles- 'Itsy', 'Posh', and 'Wink'. The freedom I've experienced while running my business and spending time on the beach inspires me every day in the simple, yet hip designs. I hope that I can give you a little piece of this feeling too when you wear your Bettini! Be fun, Be flirty, Be free... Just Be." Love that motto, darlings!

Scintillating Swimwear: Cyn & Luca

Darlings, CC is so excited to introduce you to Cyn & Luca, a fabulous line of bikinis and maillots that have been featured in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition and the Victoria's Secret catalog! Here's a bit about the designer and the collection from the website:
Cynthia Hoey graduated with a degree in Fashion Design from Otis Art Institute/Parsons School of Design in Los Angeles. She worked on Seventh Avenue for Liz Claiborne and most notably for Adrienne Vittadini where for eight years, she was head designer of the swimwear collection. Cynthia founded "Cyn & Luca" in 2000.
"I love the beach. I feel so rejuvenated when I'm near water and sunshine. Naturally, I wanted to design a swimwear collection that reflected that attitude. My image is of a woman who is confident and sexy... whose inner strength is expressed through her sense of style. She is inspired by travel, exotic beaches and places... I am proud and excited to present my current collections."
Cyn & Luca is a sleek collection for the modern woman. It features the most advanced Italian fabrics and it is made in Italy with their specialized knowledge of sophisticated production techniques. Most innovative is our exclusive tubular micro fiber knit fabric that gives an incredible lift and hold without heavy internal construction. It is perfect for the active woman of any age. Our prints have a depth of color and richness in texture that only European fabric makers can achieve.

Marvelous Maui Girl Bikinis and $100 Giveaway!

Aloha, darlings! CC is so excited to introduce you to Maui Girl, a fabulous line of designer bikinis by designer Debbie Wilson!

Here's a bit about the collection from the Maui Girl website:
Maui Girl & Co. has been a landmark on the North Shore of Maui for over 30 years. Located in the heart of Paia, Maui Girl & Co., has been voted the "Best Bikini Boutique" of Maui for the last 5 years. Designer and boutique owner, Debbie Kowalski Wilson, has been designing and selling her pieces since the 70's. She has had celebrity visitors since her doors opened with guests like Ringo Starr and Stevie Nicks. Maui Girl started out as a french-style boutique with lace curtains called "The Clothes Addict."

Debbie would travel to other cities making appointments to dig through piles and piles of old Hawaiian shirts, kimonos, and chenille bed spreads to produce vintage re-mix creations. Debbie designs out of her cozy little North Shore beach house. It is complete with a perfect surfspot that she can see while eating breakfast on her screened in lanai. She made the switch from vintage reconstructed pieces to bikinis in the early 80s and renamed the store, "Maui Girl & Co." And it has been that way ever since...

A number of Maui Girl bikinis were featured in the 2012 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition!
Fabulous news, darlings! CC and Maui Girl have a $100 Gift Certificate to give away to one lucky CC reader! Seven Day Contest: to enter, simply leave a relevant comment on this post!
