FORTUNE 421 SWIMWEAR HOSTS ABSOLUT SWIM AT THE MONDRION HOTEL/SKYBAR IN HOLLYWOOD
We were so excited when we heard we were going to be hosting the evening for Absolut Swim the night before leaving for Miami Swim Week- such a perfect way to kick it off! We were even more excited to see how many of our L.A. friends came to support. Thanks to Jess McAllister and Table Manners for making this night possible for us : )
We couldn't have asked for better models to represent Fortune 421 Swimwear poolside- just as gorgeous on the inside as they are on the outside.
People kept asking us whether people actually get in the pool to go night swimming. That question was shortly answered after people started stripping down and diving into the pool for a midnight dip! There's something oh so sexy about nighttime pool parties.... We'll definitely be doing another one of these in the near future!
Dolphins, alligators and naked people oh my!

Decisions, Decisions. . . WHAT TO WEAR IN CABO??
This weekend Fortune and Fortune421 Swimwear will be taking a field trip to Cabo San Lucas for A.W.O.L. at the ME Hotel/ Nikki Beach. Don't want to forget to pack what's most important- BIKINIS!!
The Pantone Color Institute has named “Tangerine Tango,” a radiant red-orange, as the top color of 2012. Pantone has turned to the “spirited reddish-orange” hue to “provide the energy boost we need to recharge and move forward.” Orange signals not only vitality, but also urgency and strength—associations that should resonate in a year where many are hoping to finally start seeing changes. “There’s the element of encouragement with orange,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute. “It’s building on the ideas of courage and action, that we want to move on to better things."

We recently made a trip to another land of fortune- Beijing, China! We were blown away by everything we saw but mostly by the combination of ancient and modern designs found in their art and architecture. So many beautiful, rich colors and prints in the midst the organized chaos... all which make for good bikini prints!
We came across these gorgeous pictures featuring our favorite swimwear model, Alexandra Victoria, wearing our Femme Fatale Bikini shot by photographer DREWSHOOTS. We're so excited to be reconnecting with this powerful duo once again for our yearly Fortune 421 Swimwear photo shoot when we head out to Miami for this year's WMC (Winter Music Conference)!
We are honored to have swimwear expert Susan of Instyle Swimwear as a guest blogger writing about her favorite Fortune 421 bikini styles for this year!
Top Picks for the 2012 Swimwear Season
The 2012 swimwear season is starting to creep up on us! As an expert on all things swim, I always keep an eye out for new brands and styles, so I was super excited to hear that Fortune 421 has expanded into swimwear. After checking out the new line, I was definitely pleasantly surprised. Check out my favorite styles below.
The first style that caught my eye is the Sangria swimsuit. Although I usually find myself gravitating toward prints, I definitely own my fair share of solid swimwear styles and this colorful bikini is right up my alley. The magenta pink bikini features tangerine ruffle trim detail, which creates a colorful color-block look—a huge 2012 swimwear trend! I love the long triangle top and tie-side Brazilian bottom combo; as an added plus, the bottom’s back ruched detail will help give the appearance of a shapelier derrière, making it the perfect style for ladies with smaller behinds.
Sangria Triangle Top & Brazilian Bottom
Another one of my favorite Fortune 421 swimwear looks is the soft and ultra-feminine Precious bikini. Pastels are making a comeback in both the swimwear and general fashion world this season and I just love baby pink and baby blue together! The striped seersucker bandeau has a sexy sweetheart neckline and looks adorable with the matching moderate swimwear bottom. Both the top and bottom feature adorable pink bow details… how cute!
Precious Bandeau & Moderate Bottom
Finally, I saved the best for last. I absolutely love the Black Betty bikini because of its classic style. The black shirred bandeau and moderate bikini bottom feature an allover black and white polka dot print as well as black chiffon ruffle detail. Little black bikinis and polka dots are both classic looks for swimwear and when married, it creates a truly timeless look for the beach or pool.

We love Rihanna in this drop dead gorgeous Tom Ford gown she wore to the Met Gala 2012! The curve-hugging, shiny, black reptile texture is flattering for any body type. Nail this look with the perfect snakeskin little black bikini - Femme Fatale.
