Vanessa Simmons Launches New Swimsuit Line

Those Simmons girls are always up to something! This go around Vanessa has launched her own swimwear collection, Rose by Vanessa Jean, which was featured at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in Miami. I must admit these are some pretty daring and sexy designs, and it definitely defines the sisters' style: funky, sexy, and classic. The collection can be appreciated because of their unique geometric cuts, fabric choices, and beading details. Perhaps these looks are just for show to look cute on the beach lol. They're fun, sexy, and not your ordinary bikinis, which makes them all the more appealing. All her models are gorgeous (of course) and range in body size and type, ethnicity, and heights. I LOVE it all!

Not sure where to buy her pieces, but if you visit her follow her on her social networking sites, I'm sure she'll keep us in the know!

Angela was spotted rocking one of Vanessa's designs...so cute!

Check out some highlights from the show!

Do we love her designs?

Swimsuits for Your Body Type

Swimsuit shopping is probably, no DEFINITELY, my least favorite thing to do. It’s just so much.  I can never find the right fit or I don’t like what’s available in stores so I resort to online shopping just to find ill fitting swimsuits that I just end up sending right back.  I’m sure that most of you MYLM readers feel my pain.  But no worries, MYLM has got you covered. Here are a few tips on finding the perfect swimsuit for your body type for this season.

Athletic

Finding a swimsuit that will create curves is essential for the athletic body type. Try finding a top the will add some volume. A bust-enhancing top like this one with ruffles will create the perfect amount of cleavage.

Pear shaped

If you are a little bigger on the bottom, separates are you friend. Try to find a printed top if you are purchasing a bikini and a solid bottom. This brings the attention to the top of your body.  Also, if you are more of a one-piece kind of girl, look for something with more detail at the top.

Full Bust

If you are top heavy, I have one word for you under wire! This is essential in a swimsuit so that you have as much support as possible. An alternative to underwire bikini tops would be to look for top with thicker straps or a one piece with a plunging neckline, a nice v shape.

Curvy/Full figured

For all of my curvy girls look for a swimsuit that really shows off your shape.  A Deep plunge or a high waist bikini, which is a swimsuit trend for this season, is very flattering on your shape.
