Tropi Praver Swimwear 2014...Drumroll Please
The 2014 Swimwear is starting to arrive...yes! The first styles to come in are from Tori Praver Swimwear 2014. Tori did a fabulous bandeau in her signature smocked fabric, with intricate weaving in the front and hips...very classy! The top looks to be supportive, but without stays and boning, which frankly, can sometimes be uncomfortable. The bottom is itsy bitsy with minimal coverage in back. It's all done up in a rich fuchsia.
If you want a little more threads on your backside, check out Tori Praver's Boardwalk Bikini, done in a lavender tribal print and with moderate coverage in back.
Look for more 2014 swimsuits to arrive very soon! We expect Boys+Arrows to be here any day!

New and Innovative Design...A Personal Journey
I love design, whether it's architecture, fashion, an every day toothbrush...it doesn't matter...I am intrigued with the thought process that went into the object and the thoughts that in invokes after it is created. So why does our once beautiful website now leave so much to be desired? I'm sure that you've all asked yourself that question. I know I have.
All I can say, is first, I'm sorry. In our defense, I can only say that life has a way of getting in the way of even the most ambitious of dreams. Our business is a small family run affair and these days family has taken precedence. Lately, there have been new lives, sad deaths, weddings, new homes, new loves, new awakenings, new lifestyles...but alas, not a new web site. Although, it's been a rough road, I wouldn't change most things, except perhaps the deaths of loved ones, even if I could.
In all fairness, we did start working on the web site last year, but our web designer was overwhelmed with work at the time and the only spot on his calendar that he could find to get our project done was in the middle of our season. We couldn't have our customers confused about navigating our site right then, now could we?
So, I have some good news. We now have a web designer working on our site once again. I expect wonderful things to come of her efforts. I'm truly excited about this project and that I finally have the attention to give it. I see mesmerizing photos, accurate, helpful descriptions and great customer service in our future...all, in all, a fantastic shopping experience. Hopefully, we will be unveiling our new site in January, that is, of course, unless another family affair comes up. Family is always first.
If you have any comments, or suggestions about our new website, please speak up. We'd love to hear from you.

Rollin' In With the Tide
As the new swimwear comes in, then goes out, I often wonder where each swimsuit is going off to with it's new owner. Will it accompany her on her honeymoon to some tropical bliss? Or, is it in for some serious partying during spring break? Will it don the lonesome beachcomber? The Mom with 2 kids just trying to get away for a few days? The hot- 40-something mama? The next tween fashion model? The over-worked exec? The exotic traveler? The ultimate mermaid?
A swimsuit means more to it's owner than just something to swim in. If it didn't, we'd all be swimming in our old t-shirts, or society permitting...nothing at all. (Personally, I like this last option the best, but I can't say that everyone would agree with me, so I wear a swimsuit in public places.) For some, and I guessing mostly men, it's about being totally sexy...maybe even pornographic. However, I think that for most women who wear swimsuits, it's about freedom and about connection with nature, water, love....OK...maybe even GOD!
Whatever it means to you, I hope that you enjoy this upcoming season and put on your newest and best bikini, or one-piece. Feel the energy that empowers you. Find nirvana!
...And, don't forget to drop by and let me know where you and your new swimsuit went. I'd love to know!
Wishing peace and love,

2014 Swimwear - Sandy Bottoms and Knotty Details
Swimwear is heating up this season. It's skimpier, sexier and has us all tied up in knots! The 2-piece is certainly outselling the one-piece swimsuit and the cheeky bottom bikini is back from last season in full force. So are multi-strings and knots that are in all the right places. Tribal prints are big and color blocking is making a scene. Fringe is hanging in there, (pun intended.) The retro, high-waist bikini bottom hasn't gone away this year either, (Although one should not expect this style to generously help a flawed figure. It's styled for showing of a girl's curves, not hiding them.)
I can only guess why the swimsuits are once again, going through this, "minimizing effect." They tell me that it's all part of an economic cycle. The fact is, the girls with the most disposable income right now are very young and uber-stylish. Think, "Daddy's girl, cozied up in her private school dorm room, on a late night, online, shopping spree." What? You're are not part of that demographic group? I can definitely sympathize. Even when I went to college, I wasn't one of those girls. (I made my own bikinis, but that's another story.)
However, may I say, for those of you that can wear those teeny-tiny, itty-bitty bikinis, my hat's off to you! You only live once and hey, we all have our day in the sun. (May I digress...) I can clearly recall sauntering down the beach one fine, sunny day in my 19-year-old body and a cute li'l bikini to match. I had just gotten out of the water after a morning of body surfing. I was dripping wet, enjoying the warmth of the sun on my skin, while making my way back to my towel, when a cute, 60-something couple came strolling the shore towards me. The portly man was continuously gawking my way, which prompted his little, rotund wife to get more than just a tad angry. She came stomping up to me, face a scowling and shaking her finger wildly in my face.
"You're not always going to look like that. You'll see!!! You really think you're something, but that figure won't last! Mark my words...you're not always going to look like that!!!"
"Yeah, but I look like that now," I replied with a big, sweet, sarcastic smile. (I might have even batted my salty/wet eyelashes to rub it in.)
I was a smart ass, to say the least. I knew she was right then and alas, I definitely know it now. ::sigh:: Ah...memories...I'll never see THAT figure again. But, I have to say, it was one of the highest compliments I ever received regarding my looks. I'm proud of that. Thank you, little rotund lady! And my dear, Miss bikini buyer, you should be proud too! Let's face it, beach life is for the hedonist. It's for showing off your sex appeal and perhaps showing a little more skin than is to be expected. So, go for it girl!

This season we picked up 2 styles, each in 2 different color ways, for a total of 4 new bikinis for 2014.

We'll reveal more about the 2014 SALT swimsuits that will be arriving in a few weeks. Here's just a li'l salty snack:

Why Do Bikinis Cost So Much?
It's just a little scrap of fabric, cut and sewn into a couple of tiny pieces that hardly cover anything, right? Well, speaking from experience, I can tell you that a LOT goes into the making of a great bikini. I was a swimwear designer for many years and I could not believe how detailed and precise everything had to be to create a beautiful, well fitting swimsuit. From the fabric, to exacting design, to swimwear safe findings, every minute, painstaking detail was important. If your pattern was off just a 1/8 inch, the swimsuit may fit completely wrong. After all, a bikini is a very fitted piece of clothing compared to a tunic, or sundress and it has to go through many more fittings to really fit well.
Besides all of the details that go into making swimwear, there's also the logistics. Most swimwear is sold in the US, but hardly any of it is made in the US. The designer may be American, but to get his or her samples and production done just right, he or she usually has to do a lot of travelling back and forth to foreign counties and must be able to communicate effectively with the manufacturer, as well as with the fabric and findings vendors. A single miscommunication can result in a sample, or Gawd forbid, a whole production, done wrong and then time and precious resources are wasted.
Don' t forget, swimwear is a seasonal industry, with a very short window to get the product out the door and sold and last year's fashion statement isn't worth nearly as much. The designer puts it all on the line...it's risky business. He or she could lose all of their money in a delays, or simple error that isn't caught along the way. A dear friend once told me that, "Swimwear production is a slippery slope," and I know that she's absolutely right because anything can go wrong and many times does.
I once had lunch with a very experienced patternmaker who shared my love for swimsuit design. She told me that she had once worked for a well known, discount, swimwear retailer. Of course, I was envious until she let me in on the details. She worked with them for over three years, trying to fix their bad patterns and poor fit. The company's swimsuits were being manufactured in child labor sweatshops, in a small, foreign country. Most of the people working on these swimsuits weren't even old enough to wear a bikini, not to mention that their Muslim tradition prevented that anyway. They had no idea of what the swimsuit should look, or fit like. My friend came home from that job with dubious thoughts. She had hoped to improve the line, but the result was that the labor was cheap, the fabric and other materials were low quality and the end result was still a cheapy bikini that looked like a cheapy bikini.
My advice to customers is that you usually get what you pay for. Don't settle for a swimsuit just because it's inexpensive. It's better to buy a good label on sale, than it is to buy a low priced, bad label. Shop carefully, watch the sales, which are usually around this time of year. Always ask questions and never settle. You'll find a wide assortment of high quality swimsuits on sale now at Tropi-Ties Swimwear. If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at info@tropi-ties.com.

Some Indie Thoughts On Indah Swimwear 2014
I just LOVE Indah Swimwear and the new, 2014 collection is so dang cute! They always go out on a limb when everyone else just plays in the sand. Ya gotta giv'm some kudos for that. The newest DIVE collection features some sweet little bikinis in traditional fabrics. But what really caught my eye were the neoprene swimsuits...yes, I said Ne-O-Prene!!!! Ouch! They're sexy and adorable!!!
Here's just a peek of the neoprene and non-neoprene swimsuits from 2014 Indah Swimwear:
More about the 2014 Indah Swimwear collection in a later post. Tah Tah for now.

Acacia Swimwear is Riding the New Big Wave
Acacia Swimwear is still on their big guns, riding the success of their beautiful, super sexy swimwear line. Their sandy bum bikinis have been a big hit over the last couple of years and there's no reason for that to stop. I just took a look at the new, 2014 Acacia Swimwear line and (taking a deep breath)...it's killer! I can't show you the pix. I'm sorry. I promised that I wouldn't, but I know all of our bitty bum customers are going to love what Acacia Swimwear serves up this upcoming season. In the mean time, you're just going to have to be happy with a nice coupon code for a 20% discount off of the 2013 Acacia Swimwear bikinis. We don't have many left, so you'll want to jump on this. The code is: alohaacacia

We're all a Flutter!
One of the new styles for this season is the flutter bikini top. We saw a little of this look last season, but it's coming on even stronger this year. It seems like every label has their version of this sexy little top. Here's what Maaji Swimwear did with it in 2013:
Wildfox also did one, as did LUXE. L*Space created a modified version that has a center drape which comes to a point in center:

MBFW Miami - Show Me More...
Another season of swimsuits has come and gone in South Beach. The Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week had their gala in Miami this week. The booths are down, the runways dismantled...so what did we see as far as 2014 swimwear goes?
OK, I have to admit that I did not attend this year, so maybe I missed something by not being there in person, and I'm probably a little jaded after being in this biz for so many years, but from what I've seen, the show was a lackluster event. Sure, there was lots of hoopla, but the strong, swimwear style statements just weren't there, IMHO. We saw more of the same looks as the last couple of seasons. Repeats of repeats. Mainstream of mainstream. I wanna see some new and clever swimwear designs!
Now, I gotta say, the west coast labels, (as in Tori Praver, Acacia, Salt, Indah) are making more of a splash. They're showing a lot more innovation and all have a fun, sexy, sunny attitude. Bravo! They're moving forward in a limited market...they're so courageous! I noticed that many of them chose not to show in the MB show this season, but took a booth at Salon Allure instead, or are waiting to show their wares in CA. Right on! I'm anxiously waiting to see it all!
So, designers, don't settle for the same-old, same-old. Show me more! Hit us with your best shot! I know that there are great swimwear designs out there and our customer do too. When I find them, I'll be sure to post them here.

Tori Praver 2014 Just as Sweet as Ever!
I just got a glimpse of the new, 2014 Tori Praver Swimwear lookbook. All I can say is Sweeeet! Ms. Praver has kept things fresh and up to date, which I have to say is a very hard thing to do in this economic climate. Many swimwear designers these days are just continuing the same old styles in the same old fabrics. You really can't blame them. the sad reality is that they have to, just to stay in business. Ahh...but Tori Praver did something else. Yes, she brought back her tried and true styles and shapes, but she used updated fabrics and new details to make them come alive in a fresh and different way. She pleased us with new and contemporary looks. Now that takes smarts! Thanks Tori!
I'd love to post some pix, but it wouldn't be fair, since the suits are not released yet. All I can tell you is that you won't be the least bit disappointed. There are some fancy crocheted detailed swimsuits, a few cool prints including shirt-stripe flower print, a couple of flutter tops and the cutest, sexiest, little rompers that I've seen in awhile. She also did the classic shirt cover-up. (Haven't we all used a man's shirt as a beach CU at least once?) I'll try to update with some pix, just as soon as I'm able. Until then, you're eyes will just have to wait.
BTW, we still have some Tori Praver Swimwear for 2013 in our catalog. You'll find her 2014 bikinis on our Tori Praver Swimwear 2014 update page.
Love to all...

Dogs and Beaches
Yup...Summer is in full swing! The garden is pumping out wonderful food and the heat wave last week had us scrambling to get all five dogs into the car and down to the shore. No small feat! We squished them all in there and found a bit of real estate for ourselves and headed down to gather seaweed and give the dogs some exercise.
There was only one family down there, so we pretty much had the place to ourselves, as usual. (Gawd, I love Mendo!) I know, I should have taken pix, but alas, I didn't. It was enough to get us all down the hill. I don't think that I could have managed a camera, even an itty bitty one. Anyway, you'll just have to imagine. And if you know our pups, it won't be hard. (I'll try to take pix and post again, later.)
Chaya and Kai Kai pounded into the brackish shore pond and swam and swam and SWAM. The had races back and forth, seeing who could paddle the best and the hardest. Tipsy did a go around, as did MJ. Star even got in knee-deep and cooled off. (Her arthritis holds her back.) We headed down to the south side of the cove where the fresh Wakame comes ashore. Every pooch helped us look for yummy Nori morsels in the tidal pools at the north end. Then, it was off to the races. Chaya (a pit bull) gave Kai Kai (a greyhound mix) a good run for her money. Everyone had a good roll in the sand and composting sea debris and each dog came back with a treasure of some sort. Chaya found the best one...some rotten animal head...I'm guessing a beaver.
I don't know what all of this has to do with swimwear. I suppose that I should be gabbing and drooling about the new 2014 swimwear lines coming out right now, but telling you about my laid back beach days just seems like the right thing to do. The fashion talk can wait.

There was only one family down there, so we pretty much had the place to ourselves, as usual. (Gawd, I love Mendo!) I know, I should have taken pix, but alas, I didn't. It was enough to get us all down the hill. I don't think that I could have managed a camera, even an itty bitty one. Anyway, you'll just have to imagine. And if you know our pups, it won't be hard. (I'll try to take pix and post again, later.)
Chaya and Kai Kai pounded into the brackish shore pond and swam and swam and SWAM. The had races back and forth, seeing who could paddle the best and the hardest. Tipsy did a go around, as did MJ.

Cheeky Bottom Bikinis...It's All About the Sandy Bum
Hey, if gotta cute li'l backside, then this is the year to show it off. The cheeky bottom bikini is the hottest look on the beach this season. It's not Mamma's thong of the 70's, or Aunty's Brazilian of the 90's, but it sure is tiny, none the less. The various swimwear labels all have their own version; some with a little more coverage than others. Here's some of our faves:
