A Little Rio Love

I can't wait for the day that I go to Brazil. The fashion scene must be amazing. From evening wear to bathing suits and back, the designers know how to dress and the people know how to wear the looks. So of course, I'm presenting a variety of collections and designers from Fashion Rio Spring 2007 in Rio de Janeiro.





I love the regal royal blue of this outfit! This outfit by Mara Mac is absolutely stunning on this model. I also love that it's a dress and a bit of a jumper as well. This off the shoulder look is definitely sexy. With strappy heels or wedges, this is perfect for an outing!





I love this goddess effect and will definitely look for this designer. I love anytime there are natural elements that assist to enhance the outfit. It's amazing that this event took place outside in a beautiful building.





I am all about swimwear and loved the pieces by Salinas' both the picture above this text and the one below are created by this talented designer. Of the two images, I have to say that I love the one below. The model looks amazing in this suit and I wouldn't mind having this within my own collection.






Tessuti's design with the belted cover up over the bathing suit is simplistic and elegant at the same time. I love the neutral tone with a little kick in it. This sems like the perfect ensemble to wear in your cabana with a few friends.





Grace Ottoni's beautiful dress caught my eye and made me remember one of my favorite Barbie outfits at the same time. The outfits are nothing alike but I will share anyway. There was a Barbie entitled "Peaches and Cream". This dress was my absolute favorite - I loved that it was a ball gown with a sheer flouncy body from the waist down. I loved twirling my Barbie and seeing the dress spin out. I always felt I should have a dress like this. The dress above isn't Peaches and Cream but it's a sexy Tangerine Gift! I love how it ties in back and begs to have seriously strappy heels to pair with this. How perfect would this be with a clutch - I love it!





You can never have enough bathing suits and fortunately, designer Cantao agrees. I love this bathing suit which looks like something you would wear to an exotic, out of the way Fiji or Bali resort. I love how relaxed and laid back this suit looks. Sometimes you don't have to have all the flash (although it's always nice).

Fabulous Swimwear Takes to the Runway

I could live in a bathing suit if someone let me, these fabulous suits were made by a Columbian designer who definitely knows how to create a suit that makes a statement whether you are coming or going. The vibrant colors and daring angles or perfect for your inner sun babe regardless of whether you take a dip or not!





I love the striped bikini top that breaks up the pink and makes it something that will leave tongues wagging; moreover, the yellow bottom has a bit of sexy whimsy which is absolutely fabulous!





I am also a huge fan of the model on the left who has the pink and black combination! It's so easy to find black bikinis but nice to see one that has a little panache to it, the pop of pink is perfect. Although I can't see the model on the right, brown is a fabulous color on a suit as well.
