Vamos a La Playa!

OK girls, the time has come! We must now all begin to start thinking about bikini season and how we're going to fit into that itsy bitsy teeny weeny...You get the idea. In any case my favorite swimwear designer is who else? Amir Slama for Rosa Cha.

The Portuguese hottie from Brazil has been creating heat waves at the beach with his amazing bathing suits in America since 1997. It is one of the most recognized swimwear companies today. It's great to see something fresh with all the Burberry and Pucci prints trodding around in the sand. In any case here are some of my favorite looks from his collection. Ciao!
