Surf 'n Swim

We're excited about the latest Swim issue of Surfing Magazine, due out April 3rd.  I just saw the clip and I know there are a few, very familiar swim labels featured: Acacia, L*Space, to name just a couple. (I don't want to give it all away.)  I have no clues as to who made the cover.  Do you?

Tropi-Ties - New Look

Tropi-Ties Swimwear will be sporting a new look for our website and blog...well...really everything will have a new look...facebook, twitter, etc.  Of course, this takes time to develop, but we hope to be live with it all by the time the 2013 swimsuits roll out.  We have a wonderful opportunity to ask our customers and viewers what they like, and don't like about our site and their shopping experience at Tropi-Ties Swimwear.  Let us know.  You can email us in private at info@tropi-ties.com, or we'll be brave and let you post it here.  Thanks!

Taxes & Bikinis...Never the Two Shall Meet

It's that time of year...taxes are due and spring break bikinis are flowing out the door.  For most people, the two subjects never mix, but for myself, this is one of my busiest times of year...prepping for that meeting with the accountant at dawn, running the biz and filling orders the rest of the day.  It leaves little time for blogging, or other creative endeavors. 

I think that a swimwear designer should create the, "tax time bikini."  Maybe cover it entirely with little receipts and W2 forms.  The, "tax return check," could be strategically placed on the suit.  Ahhh...the things I come up with.  Why am I not rich and famous?!!  :D   So, because this is the time of year that it is, I must make this post short...very short. 

Updates:
- For those of you looking for Boys + Arrows...It will be arriving any day now, possibly by Friday.
- The same goes for L*Space fringe bikinis, yes, even the lavender one.
- Cali Dreaming came in and it's to die for.  Very cute mesh covered bikinis...you'll love these!
- The India bikini by Melissa Odabash is almost sold out.  I think that we have only one left in size 10.
- Karla Colletto Swimwear has done well this season, especially that little pink, skirted bikini.

I'm off to balance budgets and look over spreadsheets.  Life is too short to be smothered in bookwork, so get out there, have fun with your tax returns and buy yourself a bikini!
