Lounge Lover Self-Tie Jersey Robe

Lounge Lover Self-tie jersey robe

Admittedly, I'm more a fan of a lounge robe done in 100 percent purest cashmere, but really.

This jersey robe by Lounge Lover is absolutely divine.

Perfect for those lazy Saturday mornings, paired with tights and a simple tee, this Lounge Lover's robe is a super soft blend of jersey infused with just a hint of cashmere.

Ask Hope Robertson: What Type of Swimsuit Should I Buy?

Hope - I'm traveling to the Caribbean in February. Any suggestions where I can find a unique swimsuit?

Suffering from a mid-winter cold, I'm dreaming of a beach getaway.

Depending on your budget, I'd check these suits by Issa, Lisa Marie Fernandez, and Melissa Odabash.

I'm seriously loving Lisa Marie's exclusive for Net-A-Porter (centre). With the look of the leather, this rubber swimsuit doubles as an edgy corset top. When you return from the Caribbea, you can make the Leigh Maillot work-friendly by pairing it with a pencil skirt and smart cardi.

Keeping it classic, Issa's color-blocked, plunge-front swimsuit might be perfect for your tropical vacation (right). While I've never been one for one-piece suits, this swimsuit dips low in the front and back. The strategic color-blocking crossover detailing in front whittles the waist for an all-over flattering look.

Annnd, if you're feeling a little more Paris Hilton, channel the heiress with Melissa Odabash's marrakech embellished cut-out suit (left). The shiny silver-tone embellishment is balanced with a rich magenta hue. This is not for the un-brave.

Retro Style Swimsuits

They certainly weren’t created with tanlines in mind, but I still love these adorable vintage-inspired swimsuits by Very Sexy® Victoria’s Secret.

The retro balconet and bandeau tops are spot-on style for this summer. Both tops have a chic sensibility that is a refreshing departure from typical triangle bikini tops. These tops also feature removable halter straps and underwire support.

The bottoms of both suits are similar with ultra high-waist designs. I especially love the gold-buttoned pockets on the bandeau suit.

And price tags? You can’t beat a swimsuit that sells for less than 100 dollars.

Rrraar.

It’ll make it easier to slip into a swimsuit this year if you make like a tiger.

Seriously.

Red Carter’s tiger print swimsuit will instantly transform you into a feline with a sleek, smooth body. You’ll be gliding gracefully across the sand in no time. Meow.

It may not be the best suit for tanning, but it still makes me say “Mmmhmm.” So sassy, so sequin-y, so perfect for vacation on the Cote d’Azur this winter.
