You probably know Letarte. If you don’t, the iconic Maui-based swimwear label is always gracing the most beautiful models year after year in the annual Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition including more than 50 swimsuits gracing the pages of SI along with two covers in 2005 and 2013.   Know for their beautifully coordinating cover-ups, swimwear, and sportswear, it all  literally began in 2002 from a single swimsuit sold at a Maui beachside bungalow. Today, Letarte is  the truly iconic label synonymous with a luxe Hawaiian lifestyle.

Well my buddies, the creators, Lisa Letarte Cabrinha and Michele Letarte Ross, along with the B &B are giving away their stunning, very coveted Skull Buttefly Cropped Rashguard top and bottom ( a $264 value) to one very lucky B & B follower. It’s Spring Break, so naturally, we all thought  one lucky reader should hit the pool or the beach in style. Go ahead. Take the plunge and enter to win! But first, here’s four quick swimwear trends to keep in mind while looking for your next suit.

Rashguards. They’re just so damn flattering. Period. The edgier the better.

It seems like ocean blues just might be the color(s)  of the season. Everyone looks good in it. O.K. You can see we’re obsessed with the Letarte skull butterfly print.

I’m a sucker for sequins especially when they’re combined with a beautiful print.

We love short-shorts paired with a bikini top. The Letarte bohemian crochet is the latest way to go for 2015. They also have it in a beautiful white.
