Not only is warm weather surfacing lately, but so are all those cute clothes that we can't help but want! It's almost spring 2010! It's exciting because the snow will soon be gone, and it's even more exciting because it's only a matter of time before we head to the beach.
But before we hit the beach, we need a cute new bikini to show off all that hard work we have been doing at the gym!

When I think of cute bathing suits I think of Victoria's Secret, and I am pretty sure some of our readers would agree! It's all about the neons, beaded tops, and solid colors. Everything seems to be in this year! Thankfully, the one thing that has seemed to go out is opposite colors of bikini tops and bottoms.

For those of you who would rather show a little less skin than a bikini, it's your season! One pieces are the biggest trend this season. Some of the one piece patterns are even more flattering than bikinis.

It is almost ironic that another fashion fad right now is "Back to the '90's"! Just open a magazine - almost every crop top, headband, light jeans, off the shoulder shirts, and romper one piece outfit that is in your magazine was featured on an episode of the original 90210.
Delicious ruffled shirt is available for $19.80 (left) and peacock print headwrap (right) is available for $3.80 at www.forever21.com or your local Forever 21 store.
Another great thing about the "90's" back in our lives is that the fashions can be easily afforded. One of the best websites /stores to find these clothes is Forever21.com, a totally affordable website, with totally cool style.
Plaid gingham tie-top is available for $14.80 (left) and smocked off-shoulder top (right) is available for $13.80 at www.forever21.com or your local Forever 21 store.
Last summer it was all about the jeaned skirts, leggings, and blast back to the '80's, but we're moving ahead another decade now, so grab your headband and your old belly shirt! Who would have known that box of old clothes would come in handy?!
