We are retiring from the swimwear business and the blog will be closing down soon. Personally, I've loved all of it, from helping our customers pick out just the right swimsuit, to anxiously awaiting the upcoming season's offerings, to writing about the latest styles...it's all been good. Over the last twenty years, we've not only dished up swimwear for thousands of young women, but we've even had the honor to do it again for their daughters. We are amazed by it all! We've certainly had our day in the sun. Many, many thanks to everyone. Peace and love.<br />

Granted, there are not many Acacia bikinis left, but we have a few at some super fabulous prices. <br />
<br /><br />
Second, We have decided to have our Summer Solstice Sale a little early....like now. At Tropi-Ties Swimwear, we celebrate Summer Solstice each year, by having our biggest and best sale of the season. However, sadly, this year we have a memorial to go during that time for someone that the entire family loved so, so much...my Father-In-Law, Carroll Alpers. There's no way we would miss it, so we will probably close down for a few days and hang with family.<br />
<br /><br />
Anyway...enough about that. You really don't want to miss this sale, which is going on right now, this very minute...this second even. <a href="http://tropi-ties.stores.yahoo.net/">http://tropi-ties.stores.yahoo.net/</a><br />
<br /><br />
Shop,<br />
Enjoy!<br />
Happy Summer!<br />

Once in awhile, we come across a swimsuit label that is so darn cute, but the rest of the world just hasn't caught up to it yet. Maybe we're the ones that are missing the mark, or maybe we are just way ahead of our time. I like to think it's the latter. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://tropi-ties.stores.yahoo.net/salt.html" target="_blank">SALT Swimwear</a> is one of those swimwear labels. Designed with the California girl in mind, SALT Swimwear knows how to make a statement on the beach. We've been carrying their bikinis and one-piece swimsuits for several years, although, I have to say, they are not our biggest selling brand. Why is that? Personally, I think that they are so innovative in their designs, their cuts are perfect and their quality is top notch. They promote themselves and a classy way. They get their product out on time. What is it? It probably is us. Maybe we're not doing enough to tell our customers how wonderful this bikini brand is. So....I'm telling ya! <a href="http://tropi-ties.stores.yahoo.net/salt.html" target="_blank">SALT Swimwear</a> is killer! It's the cutest thing on the sand, or in the water! So, let's cut to the chase. Here is <a href="http://tropi-ties.stores.yahoo.net/salt.html" target="_blank">SALT Swimwear 2014</a>:<br />

We love it and we hope that our customers will too. No, the blog is not totally changed over yet. I've got the header up there, but that's about it. And don't expect to see our intro page: <a href="http://tropi-ties.com/">http://tropi-ties.com</a> to sport the updated graphics yet either. But, I promise, it's coming...hopefully next week. One step at a time.<br />
<br />
<br />
This is the 4th, or 5th time that we've changed our website design in the 18 years that we've been in business. Lemme tell ya...it ain't easy! It's a very creative, as well as labor intensive project and my hat is off to the designers at <a href="http://1choice4yourstore.com/" target="_blank">1choice4yourstore</a>. The holidays threw them behind schedule, but they busted their bums to get our site done in record time...thanks Shawna and crew! So, I really hope that you'll stop by and take a look. You are welcome to leave comments here, at the blog.<br />
<br />
<br />
OH...I almost forgot to tell you! In celebration of the new site unveiling, we are offering a 10% off coupon on anything in the store...ANYTHING! Just use the code BRANDNEWLOOK before 03/01/2014 when you check out. Happy shopping! We love you all!<br />

Let's Get SeriousI have lived long enough to know that some people do not perceive the bikini as a serious topic of discussion. For many of those folks that perhaps grew up in a land locked state, or country, without the warm sand of a beach to seduce them, they just don't get it. To these people, the bikini is not a fashion, or lifestyle statement, it is merely a drooling over of soft porn. So, I say that for those of you who feel this way about the bikini, I kindly advise you to, "click off. " <br />
<br />
This discussion is not about all that. It is about what a bikini does for a soul, be it a goddess of fashion, or of a child of nature. And who better to understand that than the late, but forever wonderful, Diana Vreeland, the then editor of Harper's Bazaar magazine, who brought the bikini into the American girl's life in 1947? ( The <a href="http://dianavreeland.com/page/posts/op/read/id/93" target="_blank">Diana Vreeland website</a>.)<br />

Ms. Vreeland, who later went on to become the editor of VOGUE magazine, called the bikini the "swoonsuit," that exposed, “everything about a girl except her mother’s maiden name,” and claimed it to be, “the most important thing since the atom bomb.” Oh for God's sake, of course she was right. She was correct...more than correct! <br />
<br />
The timing of the unveiling of the bikini was impeccably perfect. It came at the dawning of an era when American women were, "feeling their oats," as my mother used to say. They were becoming more independent, more free in their feminine expression and their sexuality. I dare to say that it was the MOST important fashion statement of its time! Suddenly, unlike my mother, I, as a young woman, was able to stroll along the shoreline in the smallest piece of clothing that 'd everI owned and feel absolutely wonderful about myself.<br />

Swimwear Site RedoI know, I know...I told you that our site would be live by now, but alas...it isn't. We have gone through a lot of problems with web designers over the years. There were many stops and starts...sigh...however, we are still standing staunchly behind our new, web design team, <a href="http://www.1choice4yourstore.com/" target="_blank">1 Choice 4 Your Store.</a> This group of ladies are awesome! They are adding a few more extra special touches to our site, so the reveal date has been set back a bit. So, patience my darlings...it's coming soon.<br />
<br /><br />
For now, while we're waiting, I need to tell you about another swimwear line that I've discovered. One of my new faves is <a href="http://issademar.com/" target="_blank">Issa de' mar</a>. It's another killer Hawaiian swimwear line...I'm seeing a trend here. Anyway, two friends from the North Shore starting out by selling their bikinis from a tiger painted ice cream truck...now that's pretty damn plucky! I love that! Now, you might think that their swimsuits are, how shall we say, "rustic," but that couldn't be further from the truth. Their one piece swimsuits are totally fashion forward and their hip, little bikinis are to die for. I really hope that you'll be seeing more of this original and clever bikini label in our catalog. I am so excited to show you some pix, but as I've said many times before, I need permission from the owners and photographer first. I'm working on that. I think that I have several lines saved up to show you for 2014. We'll do the grand display when the new site goes live...more to anticipate.<br />
<br /><br />
BTW, we do have a few, new 2014 swimsuits in. The <a href="http://tropi-ties.stores.yahoo.net/boysarrows.html" target="_blank">2014 Boys+Arrows Swimwear</a> just arrived and it's all pretty darn cute. We also got three, new styles in from the <a href="http://tropi-ties.stores.yahoo.net/acacia.html" target="_blank">2014 Acacia Swimwear</a>...OMG...so sexy and very, very chic. <a href="http://tropi-ties.stores.yahoo.net/tori-praver.html" target="_blank">Tori Praver Swimwear for 2014</a> has also just come in...gorgeous. We have a few specials on 2013 swimsuits, so you really must stop by the site...just avoid the construction. Thanks...a warm aloha to all of our wonderful customers.<br />

Until then, we'll have to stir thing up ourselves. So it's all about new things!<br />
<br /><br />
First, I want to let you know that our new site is almost ready to go live. The graphics are done and it has been placed in the hands of the programmer. It looks fabulous! A hearty applause for <strong><a href="http://www.1choice4yourstore.com/" target="_blank">1 Choice 4 Your Store</a></strong> web design team!!! I really hope that my next post will be under the new look and format...fingers crossed.<br />
<br /><br />
New swimwear lines are coming our way. One, is <a href="http://tropi-ties.stores.yahoo.net/lisa-blue.html" target="_blank">Lisa Blue</a>, with Aussie designer Lisa Burke at the helm. Lisa is a surfer girl and a true lover of whales. She's had some amazing experiences with the whales that have inspired her to design her beautiful swimwear. She is donating 25% of the net profits from her company to saving and protecting the whales through the Australian Whale Conservation Society (AWCS) which is a registered, non-profit environmental organization, based in Queensland, Australia. You can read about Lisa's story and ways that you can help on <a href="http://lisablue.com.au/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=46&Itemid=54" target="_blank">her website</a>. We praise her efforts and love her bikinis. Look for a sultry little number done in blue velvet to arrive in a few weeks, ...yow...beautiful! I'll post pix as soon as I have permission.<br />
<br /><br />
Another "new line" that we will be carrying is <a href="http://tropi-ties.stores.yahoo.net/ondademar.html" target="_blank">OndadeMar</a>, which really isn't new for us. We carried this ultra-pretty label for many years and we're so glad to have them back in our line-up. This is a classy, elegant line, with impeccable styling. Look for pix, (gotta have permission first...you know the routine,) as soon as possible. We expect their swimsuits to arrive around March.<br />
<br /><br />
So...no pix today, no rain today, no surf today...just blue skies and that's good.<br />
<br /><br />

The first styles to come in are from <a href="http://tropi-ties.stores.yahoo.net/tori-praver.html" target="_blank">Tori Praver Swimwear 2014</a>. 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.<br />

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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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? <br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
If you have any comments, or suggestions about <a href="http://tropi-ties.stores.yahoo.net/" target="_blank">our new website</a>, please speak up. We'd love to hear from you. <br />

Why Santy, You Shouldn't Have!Planning to sweep your Hunny Bunny off to some tropical bliss this holiday season? Of course you are! Now...please, PLEASE don't forget to include a new bikini, or sexy one-piece swimsuit to go along with that private tryst. I know, you've already spent a fortune on the trip, but trust me, you can pick up a hellava deal right now on beautiful, designer swimsuits at <a href="http://tropi-ties.stores.yahoo.net/" target="_blank">Tropi-Ties Swimwear</a>. Many of our <a href="http://tropi-ties.stores.yahoo.net/on-sale.html" target="_blank">2013 bikinis and swimsuits are on sale</a>, up to 70% off right now...lucky you! Just pick one out, wrap it up and put that sweet, little package under the tree, or by the candles. Be sure to have the camera ready when she opens it up, so that you can catch her moment of surprise. If by a very miniscule chance she doesn't like the swimsuit you've chosen for her, don't worry, she can contact us and exchange, or return it, even if it's on sale. (We don't tell all of our customers that, due to some nasty past issues with internet shopping fraud...sad, but true. Don't worry about a thing. We'll be glad to help you any way that we can to make sure she's as swimmin' like a little fish in a kelp forest.) Here are some of our latest swimwear on sale. We are quickly running out, so don't delay. <br />
<br />
Oh...and have a wonderful holiday!<br />

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?<br />

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! <br />
<br />
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! <br />
<br />
...And, don't forget to drop by and let me know where you and your new swimsuit went. I'd love to know!<br />
<br />
Wishing peace and love,<br />

You can smell it. As fall settles in, the leaves begin to change, the air has a certain snap to it and the mist billows over the range. It has that sweet, salty smell to it and there's an energy, an electrical charge that fills the sky. As soon as the first whiff drifts across my nose, I gather the dogs into the car and head to the sea. The ocean is rambunctious and impatient. The waves are choppy and still not settled into their winter, rhythmic pattern. The surfers are all out at the cove, wetsuits on, but just looking and waiting for a real set to come in. We head up the coast and two guys are out at Manchester, but there's not much worth riding...not yet. But, the waves will come...maybe not today, but very soon. Fall is upon us and the waves will soon be rolling in...definitely by Thanksgiving Day.<br />

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.)<br />

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.) <br />

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. <br />
<br />
<em>"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!!!" </em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em>"Yeah, but I look like that now,"</em> I replied with a big, sweet, sarcastic smile. (I might have even batted my salty/wet eyelashes to rub it in.)<br />

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!<br />

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.<br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.

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 <strong>Ne-O-Prene</strong>!!!! Ouch! They're sexy and adorable!!!<br />
<br />
Here's just a peek of the neoprene and non-neoprene swimsuits from <a href="http://tropi-ties.stores.yahoo.net/indah-swimwear-2014.html" target="_blank">2014 Indah Swimwear</a>:<br />

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 <a href="http://tropi-ties.stores.yahoo.net/acsw201.html" target="_blank">Acacia Swimwear bikinis</a>.

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:<br />

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: <br />

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? <br />
<br />
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!<br />
<br />
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!<br />
<br />
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.<br />

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!<br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
BTW, we still have some <a href="http://tropi-ties.stores.yahoo.net/tori-praver.html" target="_blank">Tori Praver Swimwear for 2013</a> in our catalog. You'll find her 2014 bikinis on our <a href="http://tropi-ties.stores.yahoo.net/tori-praver-swimwear-2014.html" target="_blank">Tori Praver Swimwear 2014 update page</a>.<br />

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.<br />
<br />
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.)<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
"Comon doggies...let's get in the car!"<br />
