Showstopping Suits | Hint to Our Next Giveaway!

Wednesday, March 13th, 2013

We’ve never been the ones to shy away from attention, and think every lady needs one suit in her closet that turns heads! Always on the hunt for unique bikinis and innovating designs, we’re happy to say that we’ve scouted out some of the very best. Stylish, unique and sexy– we love them!

{Caliente & La Belle Nuit by AMERICAN HONEY}

When we first laid eyes on American Honey, we were shocked that it was their debut season. Designer Andrea Gomez makes it look like she’s been at this for years, and the two suits above are prime examples of her aesthetic. Part rocker part sultry vixen, we’re loving the aggressive edge Gomez has given her suits.

Don’t know about you, but we could definitely see ourselves living in this abroad. Say, the sandy beaches of Barcelona…! One thing is sure, no matter where you go, this plunging neckline will turn heads if you’re daring enough to wear it!

{Komodo & Axel 1pc by AQUA DI LARA}

And finally, these beauties. The liquid-like midnight material on the Komodo suit is gorgeous. One of those things you have to see to believe. And no one can deny that the unique design across the front of the Axel 1pc is one-of-a-kind.

P.S. Stay tuned… we’re having another giveaway and it’s going to be showstopping.

xoxo Molly!

TGIF! The end of another hectic but rewarding week at Molly Brown’s. The Swimsuit Edition of Sport’s Illustrated hit the stands, and we’re getting an influx of swim connoisseurs getting their orders in!

We’re excited to say it’s for one of their silk pareos in MOJITO.

The Benefit of Bows.

Friday, February 22nd, 2013

We’re so glad that the bow trend is big this season because frankly, we can’t get enough. From structured ones, to more casually-tied ones, they have the capacity to be girlish, sexy, coy and flirty all at the same time.

Bow Bottom and Bow Romper by LULI FAMA

Crystalized and paired with tassels they become flirty, and who better to attack flirty than Miami-based Luli Fama. Tack their famous ruched Brazilian coverage to the mix and these bottoms were a no-brainer. We’ve got them in the apple green and white (couldn’t resist!!)

Rock n’ Roll 1pc and Crimson & Clover Top by LOLLI

Lolli shot (and when we say shot we mean SKYROCKETED) to superstardom with their Bow Bottom. They were sweet, adorable and girly– all the things you could ever ask for. But their 2013 collection is jaw-droppingly different. Inspired by vintage rock, their new collection shows off the edgier side of bows.

Rendezvous 1pc in white and martinique by MAIO by L*SPACE

And finally, the knotted bow. These casually tied knots add just the right amount of relaxation to these structured one-pieces. They feel pin-up inspired, but not overly so, and paired with the textured fabric these bows still feel refined and unique!

Spring/Summer 2013!

Wednesday, February 13th, 2013

Summertime and the livin’s easy. Hopefully this will become the Molly Brown’s mantra come summertime, but right now, we’re working hard to bring you brand new summer collections from your favorite designers!

Marina Poncho Ultramarine + Carmela Brasilia Oasis by VITAMIN A GOLD

The transition from cruise season to spring and summer is going to be a bright one, and we’re already seeing vibrant corals, powder pinks and blues, and rich luscious purples popping onto beaches everywhere!

Skinnie Minnie Trixter + Chloe Wrap Trixter by L*SPACE

SO glad to see purple getting a moment in the spotlight! No complaints here!

xoxo Molly

P.S. Couldn’t resist putting up this teeny watermelon fringe bikini!

TOO CUTE! Baby Audrey Fringe Bikini by L*SPACE

Friday, December 21st, 2012

Fringe has been extremely popular these last two seasons, and it doesn’t seem to be slowing down at all! This season we’re seeing it on tops, bottoms, one-pieces– in both solids and prints! Sexy, flirty and fun, here are four fringed suits that we absolutely love.

Happy Holidays from Molly Brown’s!

Friday, December 7th, 2012

It’s not too early for holiday cheer is it? We might just be excited about our winter windows in LAS VEGAS! Visit them at the Cosmopolitan Hotel!

Just because winter is coming, doesn’t mean swimwear is out of season. In fact– this is the time of year we’re getting in all our new collections and lines, so really it’s the perfect time to get your summer swim wardrobe together (while sizes are still available and in stock!) ONE of those amazing new lines is The Collection by the famous Monica Wise  designer of L*Space, and it’s a collection that consists of some of the most gorgeous and wearable coverups we’ve seen yet.

Layer either of these long-sleeved beauties over some tights and boots for a winter ensemble, then pair it with bare legs and your bikini come summer! We love the versatility and the neutral color palette.

This is in no way saying we’ll be staying away from bikinis this winter ;) Bundling up in a jacuzzi somewhere is in our near future, and it should be in yours too! And P.S. Tonight’s Hospitality Night! Come in to our Laguna Beach store for food, drink and EIGHT chances to win suits, coverups and shoes from some of your favorite designers! 490 S. Pacific Coast Hwy Laguna Beach, CA 92651 Hope to see you there!

Nude Attitude.

Sunday, December 11th, 2011

Hot pinks and neon brights are fun for summer, but sometimes toning it down can be fiercely sexy. We think, when paired with the right details, understated neutral shades and chic nude color schemes can make a bold and sophisticated statement. See below to find out what we mean!

Shimmer fabric and sleek gold slide accents in the Farrah by CHARLIE

Chic and sexy link hardware on the Angel and Catwalk by L*SPACE

Ultra soft terry cloth and lace up detail on the Dora by ODABASH

When wearing neutral shades, keeping the silhouette simple and streamlined is key to the effortlessly-pulled-together look. As an alternative to the piling on of adornments, subtler details like fabric choice, elegant hardware, sleek cuts and design add dimension to the simple color palette and keep these natural beauties from feeling overworked.

Nude, coincidentally, resembles skin (go figure), so double-takes may occur. But HEY, we said sophisticated and sexy. True to the Molly Brown’s style! ;)

XOXO Molly

2011 Vitamin A Pin Up Styles To Suit You

Friday, October 8th, 2010
Bel Air Retro Maillot and Retro Skirt

Bel Air Retro Maillot and Retro Skirt

Now is the time to pre-order your 2011 designer swimwear and resort wear styles from the sexiest, glamorous, and most luxurious collections in women’s swimwear at Molly Brown’s (http://www.mollybrownsswimwear.com/)

Vitamin A Gold is giving us a look at their 2011 women’s swimwear collection. Vitamin A Gold has shown us a variety of styles for any woman’s swimwear wants and needs. Styles vary from sleek and sexy one pieces, flirty feminine ruffles, convenient convertible waistbands, and a strong influence of the 60s pin up styles.

If you are looking for a pin up style that fits your personality Vitamin A Gold has designed the pieces for you to make a combination that suits you.

Feel sexy in a forgiving two-piece with the Bel Air Retro Maillot top and Retro Skirted bottom. This is an essential combination that displays old Hollywood Glamour in a less-revealing two-piece. Both top and bottom embrace flattering and feminine ruching detail suggesting the contours of a sleek and sexy figure.

For a more revealing pin up style, pairing the Retro Skirted Bottom with the Bel Air Bandeau is a solution. The high waistband maintains the classic pin up style while the bandeau provides a supportive strapless top with chic ruching and twisting detail across the front.

Striped Women’s Swimwear – Is it the in-thing?

Friday, August 13th, 2010

Women’s swimwear features different color palettes, designer patterns and some totally heart-sinking cuts. Some of these transcend the season and time boundaries and become evergreen. Other, well, are scooped out of the list without even a peep! Perhaps not beachy enough to stick around season after season.

Apart from these there are those which are neither totally out and nor totally in! Such hanging by the noose swimwear designs and prints make an appearance among the sands and surfs like a rare sighting (not hurtful to the eye in the least)! One such print still unable to fully conquer the hearts for swimwear fashion fanatics yet manages  to not vanish altogether is the stripes! Not many seem to be in love with striped swimwear. Even though its great for top-heavy ladies.

Stripe swimwear really isn’t your ‘wowing out’ glamor or sex appeal. A woman in a striped bikini walking down the sand may just give a very casual look unless the bikini is a sure shot knock out with the right use of colors and cuts.

Striped Women’s Swimwear – The Wearer’s Call

Evaluating designer swimwear; we find that not many swimwear creative heads want to play with stripes. The reason is unknown but perhaps stripes don’t really figure well in their scheme of designs. This doesn’t mean that striped swimwear is totally out from the designer houses. It’s just that it isn’t available in a great variety.

So instead of relying on the designers mood, it’s better to take a call on it yourself. You never know you may be able to find that perfect striped swimwear piece if you look hard enough! And remember one girl’s swimwear choice may be wardrobe malfunction for another. So please  decide keeping ‘you’ in mind and not the girl in the striped bikinis :P
