“Party in the city where the heat is on, all night on the
beach till the break of dawn…Welcome to
Okay, so we’re not exactly
This swimwear source has plenty of popular designer water-wear
including: Becca, Betsey Johnson, Michael Kors, Calvin Klein, Trina Turk, Roxy,
Lucky, Vix, La Blanca and Karla Colletto, just to name a few. Most are sold as separates
-- except for the one pieces of course -- all from $40-$200 plus. The big
trends this year seem to be bright colors, whites, metallics and mod patterns,
management says. Besides bathing suits -- hats, bags, sunglasses, flip-flops, wraps
and products to care for your swimwear can also be bought.
Getting bikini ready also means hair removal, which can be
done at Spa Julianna by either body waxing or a more permanent hair reduction:
laser removal. A ‘no pain’ laser machine will get rid of un-wanted hairs or the
Nu’ free body waxing, which heats to body temperature, can be done in the
private room setting starting at $20 (depending on the body part and style of
the procedure). Guys, you’re not off the hook either because this spa also does
‘manzillians.’ Exfoliations, sunless tanning, body treatments, after-care
products and firming serums are also available.
Before throwing on a swimsuit, you might want to get that
bod’ in shape and Planet Fitness can help. The ‘judgment free zone’ fitness facility
specializes in cardio and equipment training. A 30-minute circuit training
workout in the 15,000 square-foot facility -- filled with more than 90 pieces
of equipment -- will get almost anyone bikini-buff at just a mere $10 a month.
Black-card members can also score massages and tanning, too, for $19.99 a
month.
Macy’s is department store, bikini-wear ready with hundreds
of brands -- Jantzen, Rampage, Raisins, Roxy, Radio Fiji, O’Neil, Hula Heney,
Lucky, Penguin, Tommy Hilfiger, Ralph Lauren and Nautica -- mostly all at
affordable prices. Separates go for $19.98 and move up to a little bit pricier at
$73, but suits seem to be on sale regularly.
If fake and bake is more your thing to getting swimsuit
ready, JR’s Tanning and Surfwear in Livonia has more than 20 years in the biz
