Does your New Years resolution have something to do with a slinky designer bikini you’d like to look fabulous in when temperatures climb back up this spring?
Well you aren’t alone. Year after year the most popular New Years resolution is to lose weight or get fit. Sadly, many Americans make this same resolution year after year. However, there is a better way. You can set yourself up to achieve that goal, be it a svelte bikini body or quitting a bad habit instead of finding yourself in the same place making the same resolution next year
Here are some tips to help you reach your new years goals:

1. Write down your resolution
Just the act of jotting down the words “I will have a hot bikini body by spring break” set you up for success. Place this resolution in a place you see several times a day

2. Make an immediate plan of action.
Ask yourself, what can i do today, right now to get started? harness the motivation you’ve got right now and get started, a strong start can help keep your momentum going long after new years.

3. Make a long term plan
What about february and march? Make plans for weeks ahead to help keep you focused on your goal after the excitement of new years and the good intentions of a clean slate have worn off.

4. Share your goal
Let friends and family what your resolution is, and let yourself brag a little when you on track to reaching your goal. Their positive feedback and encouragement will help a lot. Also, knowing others expect you to be on a certain path can help keep you accountable and away from pesky tempting cookies.

5. Remain flexible
if you stumble a little on your way get right back at it, don’t let one little slip up derail you. If you keep at it despite slip ups you are much more likely to reach your goal than someone hoping for a perfect track record all the way to the finish.

6. Reward yourself
Sure achieving your goal will be a reward in itself, but why not raise the stakes by promising yourself a great new bikini (or two) in a smaller size to motivate you to stay on track. There are plenty of 1sol designs that will get you motivated to make that resolution and keep it!

What do you wear over that hot slinky bikini in the brisk moments between the hot tub or the sauna and being snuggled up by the fire? How do you stay cozy and warm but look pulled together at the same time?

While you could bundle up with sweats, why look like you are headed to the gym when you could look polished and casual instead? To stay comfortable, but look fabulous when you are lounging at a winter resort before or after your relaxing soak in the hot tub try a maxi length belted sweater for your cover up. A thicker wool knit is perfect for cold climates, whereas a thin cashmere or ultra loose crochet are great for more temperate climes.

Choose a warm neutral, asymmetric style with long draping sweeps of cascading material to be on trend with this years designer resort wear. Flattering to any figure, this style accentuates the waist and lengthens the body, making you look taller and trimmer.
Add a pair of shearling boots to keep your feet toasty warm, and look stylish and on trend. Leave your hair long and loose or pulled up in a chic but messy bun and accessorize with metallic jewelry and semiprecious stones to complete the look.

With these simple accessories you can dress up your sexy contemporary 1sol bikini into a resort ready outfit. You will look polished enough to lounge by the fire or stroll to the bar for drinks, but be ready to hop in the water at a moments notice.

The highly noted tenth-annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show aired last night on CBS. The fashion show broke Rating Records as it brought in over 10.3 million viewers. This was the highest watched Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show since 2002. This was the year when a few models, you may be familiar with, such as Heidi Klum ruled the fashion world. The show definitely lived up to its reputation. The show featured barely laced supermodels in lingerie, popular musicians, and it was a great win/night for the fashion industry.

This year featured some of the most wildest and unique outfits we have ever seen. This reaffirms the direction of the fashion industry we have observed and predicted. The show was separated by six different themes: “Ballet”, “Super Angeles”, “Passion”, “Angels Aquatic”, “I Put a Spell on You”, and “Club Pink”. The models presented a wide array of lingerie, and, of course, they did not leave their wings far behind.

Supermodels such as Miranda Kerr graced the runway with their beautiful faces and sexy bodies. Miranda Kerr made this appearance after missing the last fashion show due to the fact that she was about to give birth to her baby. It took her 3 months and half to get back into the spectacular shape she was in last night. The show also featured Kerr wearing a 2.5 million dollar bra that was made of pearls and diamonds.

The show also featured popular music guests such as Kanye West, Maroon 5, and Nikki Minaj. The exciting night was filled with great performances and many cheeky moments. Although the supermodels stole the show, the fashion was the main event. The fashion show emphasized how much fashion is changing and can change. Expect new bold, sexy products in the future from 1 Sol Swimwear. We are excited for our 2012 line and are confident in the buzz that will stir from our new line of products.

Beach Hair at its Finest

We all know how hard we must work in order to maintain our sexiness, especially when it’s going to be out and about at the beach. There’s a lot of planning and coordinating in the process of getting our beach looks together. Yet, many times women overlook their hair in this process. Have no fear because 1 Sol Swimwear is here with tips on how to get your hair beach ready and a few of our favorite quick and easy beach hair styles.

The first important tip we want to share is to trim your hair before summer. The summer sun will quickly damage any unhealthy dead ends you may have. By trimming, you can prepare yourself for this over occurring disaster and add durability to those precious locks of yours. Also, you can prevent your hair from drying out in the sun by applying leave-in conditioner into your hair prior to going outside. You can also use spray-on sunscreen over the conditioner to prevent even more damage to your hair. This step is very important to anyone with colored hair. By using a UV protecting spray, you can greatly improve the shine and richness of your hair coloring. In addition, try to stay away from blow drying your hair before or after the beach. Blow drying will only double the damage to your hair that you will inevitably face when you’re at the beach.

Now, we can get into some of our favorite beach hair looks. Styling your hair for the beach does not have to be a long, dreadful task. It can be as easy as getting into your bikini. Our favorite, easy-to-do beach hairstyle is braids. You can sport a side braid with your bangs sweeping across your forehead or even a braid on the side on your head with a small strand of hair. This look is fun, sexy, and, most importantly, easy to do. Even pigtails will do the trick. They’re quick to do and will hold your hair in place while you’re running around on the strand. Another quick thing you can do is add a floral piece to your hair. A floral accent can really add to your look and give some much needed pizzazz to even the simplest of hair styles. And finally, you can tie a fashionable handkerchief or scarf around your head for a quick cover up. This look can be very elegant if pulled off correctly.

Rebecca Romijn, formally known as Rebecca Romijn-Stamos, has just recently turned 39 years old. We spotted this bombshell in Los Angeles last week prancing around in a bikini for a photo shoot. It is hard to believe that this natural beauty is practically 40 years old! Also, by looking at her body, it is hard to believe that she gave birth to twins just a few years ago. She is tan, toned, and looks as if there isn’t an inch of fat on her body.

Rebecca has publicly spoken about the troubles she endured with weight loss after her pregnancy. She admitted how fast food became a part of her diet. To get back into shape, Rebecca cut out dairies, starches, and sugars from her diet. She also began participating in a consistent regiment of Bikram yoga. She showed off her sexy body in two different designer bikinis during her fashion shoot. She first strutted around in a grey string bikini. Her next outfit featured a white crochet piece that looked just as radiant as the first bikini.

Romijn divorced her television star husband, John Stamos, back in 2005 and married Jerry O’Connel in 2007. The happy couple had a set of twin girls in December of 2008. Rebecca is most known for being a gorgeous supermodel and starring as a blue, shape-shifting mutant in the hit movie series, X-men. Today we learned that you can be any age and still look breathtaking in a bikini. Rebecca Romijn is an inspiration for all women, and we here at 1 Sol Swimwear fully approve of her fabulous bikini body!

What is too skinny??

In recent fashion news, a popular retailer had an online advertisement banned for containing images that were considered “socially irresponsible” by the Advertising Standards Authority. The ad received a lot of criticism from the public, especially from eating disorder associations and those who already have issues with images in the fashion world.

The Advertising Standards Authority ruled that the ad could no longer appear unless changes were made. A complaint by a user of the banned advertisement’s company website is what actually sparked the investigation of the ad. The user’s main concern was with the model that was featured in the advertisement. The model is a size 8 female who is shown in the ad posing in various outfits, including a bikini.

The complaint was that the model looked significantly underweight and potentially anorexic. The ASA stated that the model looked very thin and also pointed out that her hip, rib, and collar bones were very visible, especially in her bikini photo.

The fashion retailer defended their advertisement by saying that the bulk of their customers were in fact size 8 women. They also went on to say how size 8 dresses were their most popular dress size sold, and also pointed out that the model had an average bust size and healthy looking skin. However, the ASA took into consideration the age of the retailer’s target audience and concluded that the ad broke advertising standards related to rules regarding social responsibility.

5 Tips to Keep Your Bikini Body

Most of us have worked all spring and summer long to achieve our bikini bodies. We’ve shed blood, sweat, and tears all in the name of summer. Now that summer is gone, don’t lose motivation! Maintain your bikini body over the winter and be bikini ready at all times with these five tips.

1.Continue your summer diet.
Winter has a tendency to bring out the worst in us when it comes to food. The cold weather creates an urge in us to eat warm foods that are full of carbs and fats. Resist and try to eat like it’s still summer. You will not be disappointed with the results when spring rolls back around.

2.Stick with the workout you did in summer.
Days get shorter and nights get colder in the winter. So, naturally our workouts get shorter and shorter. Stay motivated and modify your workout, if you have to, in order to keep that intensity going.

3.Keep your glowing tan.
Use a self tanner to keep your tan. This will help you maintain a slim look during the winter, and it will also keep you in a summer mentality.

4.Drink more water.
You still need to hydrate as much as possible even though it’s winter and much cooler. Make sure you have plenty of water on a daily basis. Plus, water also helps with hunger. Drinking a little water throughout the day will give you best results.

5.Try on your bikini.
Keep your bikini out and try it on every few weeks. This way you can monitor yourself and there won’t be any surprises the next time you go to put on your bikini. Having your bikini still in your wardrobe will also keep you in a bikini body state of mind.

Follow these tips so that you can ease into your bikini when summer comes back around. Maintain your summer body this winter so you won’t have to bend over backwards weeks before next bikini season.
