Cia.Maritima 2011 Swimwear Collection






Brazilian swimwear brand Cia.Maritima debuted its Moroccan-themed 2011 collection to a packed house during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim at the Raleigh. This gorgeous collection is filled with bursts of color, statement jewelery and Cover up pieces for Cocktail hour. Have a look here for more looks.

Now I know when it comes to choosing a cozie,its a very debatable issue. I for one have my own body issues and choose not to bear too much flesh. Ok, so yes I wear a bikini, its not like I a professional swimmer or anything. I am more of a dip and tan kind of girl:) So I have all the accessories to cover up all my curvy bits like sarongs,dresses etc.

What type of cozie do you wear?
