Swimwear That’s Eco-friendly and Adorable

Michelle Smith — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 01:00:56 +0000

The weather where I live, at the top of the Sacramento Valley, in Northern California, is HOT. For example, right now, it’s 105 F, at almost 6pm. Last night, I sent my boyfriend, who lives in Colorado, a text telling him that it was over 90 F, at 10pm.

We spend a lot of time trying to cool off in the water. I’m a fan of the creek, my kids prefer the pool.

I like to wear a sort of mismatched swim suit . A suit with pieces that go together, but are not matchy-matchy. Something like this suit that is currently on sale at Faeries Dance.com.

Ruffle Bikini
On sale for $77.95, regularly $120

It’s made of 90% certified organic cotton, no latex. It has a triangle top, a low-riding, ruffled bottom, and it’s adorable.

This bikini is more Bay’s style. She usually goes with a black triangle top, something skimpy on the bottom.

Rincon Paradise Bikini
$99

This bikini top has a little shell charm and the bottoms have circle-ties. I like the photo print on the bottom. It reminds me of an OP suit that I had back in the 80s. This suit is made out of84% Polyster that has been created from a combination of recycled plastic bottles and Spandex.

Eco-Panda’s Sexy “Green” Swimwear

Michelle Smith — Tue, 26 May 2009 17:33:30 +0000

Here’s something brand-spanking new… Eco-Panda’s recycled nylon swimwear. It’s the first swimwear of it’s sort to be fashioned from material made of discarded nylon fishing nets. How cool is that? And it’s cute, too.

There are quite a few styles availables. There’s a one-piece that is really more like a two-piece with a tummy cover. There’s a tankini with lots of coverage for sporty beach girls. There are a few tops – the triangle-string type, a halter, a bandeau, and the type with a banded bottom. The bottoms are basic, string, banded, and a boy short. Lots of options. The suits are sized XS-XL.

Here are a few of my favorites….

Marrakech – Slide Halter & String Pant in Lime
$76

Cute suit with a bohemian print. The ties are adjustable and the bra has removable pads for better fit.

Mandalay – Halter bra with side-tie bottom
$76

Bold black and white print set off with pops of coral.

Tokyo – Halter Monokini in Aqua
$68

Deep keyhold neckline, with hip-ties.
