Rove, Known for their sexy cuts, intricate crochet and ultimate string bikinis’, this year Rove went with the theme ‘Senorita.’ She is a hot summer day, the girl from the exotic sea, a dainty flower balancing from her ear, if you know Rove, you know this explains the line to-a-t. With a vintage 70’s flare, the mustard color, flower power retro babe wearing white sunglasses appeal’ is in full affect this season!

Beach Riot: Party In the streets riot in the Beach is a motto we will never forget! The local Newport native Nicole Hanriot continuously makes us fall in love every time we see the new line. California cool meets modern magnetism with edge, we love Beach Riot. From one of the first ones to have studs on their bikinis to the classy cuts, you just cant go wrong! Did we mention the clothing? Always a killer in the denim department the stripes and sheer are bound to be a hit too!

Issa De Mar: Whenever you think of Issa De Mar, the first thing that comes to mind is clear waters, island life, and living amongst the palms. It all comes to reality when designer babes Melissa and Marissa set out to make their vision come to life when their passion for surfing and bikini design came to reality. While Issa has a feminine appeal you better bet your suit is staying on for all your sport activities! This seasons olive color is sure to be a hit!
