Miami Chic — Everything But Water
Electric Burst
What looks better against tropical-blue water than a pop of vibrant color? Absolutely nothing, and that’s why we love the bright choices layered in this bold, backless maxi dress with cross-front halter tie in Solstice from Mara Hoffman; $298. @everythingbutwater
Make a Mesh
Remember the old rule of one dominant feature? Whatever, because this swimsuit not only comes in a super-juicy nectarine color, it also boasts daring cut outs at the waist and shoulder by Seafolly: Mesh About ($192). Mesh is a hot collection now. @everythingbutwater
Maui Boho — Letarte
Palm Reader
The palm-print top from Letarte is for beach-lovers who love a splash of color. This cover-up works just as well for dipping a toe in the ocean as it does strolling up to a beachside bar hut; Sea Palm Top ($388). @letarteswimwear
Cross Roads
Sometimes life is a little more exotic when you take the off-the-beaten path to a gorgeous white beach. Prepare with the new Letarte cross top. Choose from this and other print and top options. @letarteswimwear
Bali Tradition — Roberta Roller Rabbit
Mix Master
The new Bali Collection at Robert Roller Rabbit forecasts a sophisticated spring. The new Casa Kurta Kera Layer features traditional Aari embroidery with woven metallic thread in a Moroccan print around the neck and cuffs; seen here in Indigo Rose ($135). @robertarollerrabbit
Hanging On
While this shot is from an all-too-familiar NYC (especially when we are daydreaming of views of the Indian Ocean), these shoulder-skimming Big Tassel Earrings ($25) are exotic enough to transport us far from home in a flash. They are hand made abroad with rayon and mixed metals. @robertarollerrabbit
Baja Free-Spirits — Calypso St. Barth
Brighten Up
The great thing about this colorful Liridia Embroidered Cover-up ($495), aside from being crisp and fun, is that it works both poolside and in town to ensure you are turning heads with your sunny attitude. @calypsostbarth
By Hand
OK, a hand-dyed crochet bikini was made for women who like sand between their toes. Anna Kosturova Crochet Sting Bikini Top ($90) and Shortkini ($100) looking very much at home along any hot and breezy coastline. @calypsostbarth
