There’s nothing like new swimsuits and bikinis arriving in store to signify the beginning of a new swimwear season. Last year, we were lucky to receive swimsuits from the 2009 swimwear range by Sauvage before the season had really begun - a little pre-taste for our dedicated shoppers here at Azura Swimwear. But as the year progresses, and summer approaches once again, we’ll be seeing more beautiful designer swimsuits gracing our collection and from a whole range of incredible swimwear designers.

This year, the first to make its debut in Azura Swimwear’s catalogue is none other than Beach Bunny Swimwear. Beach Bunny typically releases their collection slowly over a couple of months - a swimsuit tease in many ways! But it certainly whets the appetite for their sexy chic range of one piece swimsuits and bikinis.

This month, we’ve selected the Crocodile Rock bikini out of their new 2009 swimwear range to bring in store. Take a look and you’ll agree - it’s a great way to begin the swimwear year!

Undoubtedly, we’ll be featuring this sexy bikini in our Bikini of the Week series shortly, but I just wanted to quickly point out a couple of the Crocodile Rock’s highlights…

First up, check out the gold embellished crocodile skin motif. This year, it’s all about reptile inspiration and along with Sauvage Swimwear and their sexy Snake Skin bikini (featured last week on Bikini of the Week), Beach Bunny is leading the pack with this sexy swimsuit rendition.

Secondly, take a look at the deep brown color of the fabric. Brown is this year’s it color and you’ll be seeing it in all the hottest designer swimwear collections this season (take a look at Chocolate Suede by Sauvage Swimwear).

Lastly, did you notice the bling? 2009 swimwear is decked out in gold, from gold fleck fabrics to metal chain detailing.

There will be more beautiful designer swimwear arriving in store shortly, so make sure to stay tuned! Until then, happy shopping!

Wow, the New Year has been going off with the new range of designer swimsuits from Sauvage Swimwear! And while we’ve seen the favorites shift throughout the 2009 Sauvage Swimwear range, this week, it’s been all about Snakeskin.

Snakeskin by Sauvage Swimwear

Personally, I’ve always been a fan of animal prints - and I’m not the only one. There’s good reason why, year after year, you’ll see animal prints dotting the collections of swimwear designers far and wide - they’re simply hot. Because of this, animal prints, on bikinis and one piece swimsuits, are pretty much timeless. True, like any print or design, the style will change slightly, but with animal prints, I think you’ll find less of this and an animal print bikini you’ll have from a year or two ago will still be as hot now as it was then.

But let’s look at the 2009 Sauvage Swimwear rendition of this popular motif…

This year, Sauvage Swimwear’s ever-brilliant designer Elizabeth Southwood has choosen the snake for her jungle-esque inspiration and placed it in a sexy bandeau bikini. The snake skin print alone would have made this a knockout swimsuit, however the addition of gold, found in both the gold sequin detailing and etched gold rings, gives this sexy bikini an added edge - high rolling glamour. I love it!

One of the best things about bandeau bikini tops is that they’re great for tanning - no unsightly strap marks. However, if you’re after a bit of extra support, Snakeskin by Sauvage Swimwear also comes with removable straps as well as boned sides. Both the bikini top and bottoms are fully lined and, like all Sauvage swimsuit originals, are made from beautiful imported Italian nylon-lycra. And speaking of the bikini bottoms, you can wear the Snakeskin bikini bottoms comfortably but still look sexy - they’re low rise at the front and have moderate coverage at the back, but they sit perfectly and don’t slip - something difficult to find in other designer swimwear ranges and a testament to Sauvage Swimwear’s solid designs.

If you’re an animal print lover, or looking for your first Snakeskin print to add to your collection, then we highly recommend the Snakeskin bikini by Sauvage for jungle sex appeal and glamour rolled into one…. It’s sssssssizzlingly sexy!
