Chic Summer Swimwear, All Majorly On Sale

It's been a couple of years since I got a new bikini, but clicking through our Swimsuit Sourcebook just now I got re-inspired. There are lots of things I'm tempted to buy at CoutureCandy.com, especially since some of my favorite items on the site happen to be half off! From Syla by Sylvie Cachay, there's this bandeau halter and boy shorts that hit the mark between sexy and covered up (was $170, now $85).

If you're more daring, there's also this skimpy triangle string style with a cool, Art Nouveau-inspired print from the same label (was $160, now $80).

Brette Sandler had a bunch of really great things: this simply cut navy blue bikini embellished with bits of industrial-looking metal hardware (was $158, now $79);

this gorgeous, finely detailed cream silk top (it's described as a cover-up, though I would get more use out of it off the beach with a nude camisole underneath—was $246, now $123); and

these beaded, embroidered silk shorts (the prospect of a wet bathing suit and silk makes me nervous, but I love the idea of wearing these out and about—were $110, now $55).
